Graduation Celebrations:)

Excitement is a buzz here @ Sandybeaches....Kiddlywink 1 has graduation celebrations tomorrow:) Coming to the end of primary school and entering the big world of high school! I still remember when she first skipped into kindy as a 5 year old without even looking back at the blubbering mess (me) that she had left behind...now @ 13...mum will still be a 'sooky la la' with feelings of both sadness and excitement as she enters the next stage of schooling! I blogged on over to see the latest sketch @ Unscripted Sketches (#84) to create this card for K1's graduation...accompanied and kind of colour coordinated with the Momiji 'luck' doll as a graduation pressie:) I know, I know...Stampin' Up! Kimono Kids stamp set is still my fav @ the moment!

Seizing Crafty Moments:)

Over the past few days I've been popping past the craft desk at every available moment and managed to create these cards!

The first one was a card that needed to be posted on Friday as it has a little way to travel to reach the birthday girl...I jumped over to Sweet Sketch Wednesday (#78)to see the latest sketch and my Stampin' Up! Kimono Kids set just jumped off the shelf and onto the card! With a little bit of colour coordinating to match the pressie...here it is! I'm sure she is now well on her way to safely travelling to her mystery birthday destination!

The second card is a Christmas one that will also need to be posted soon! I went over to Stampin' Royalty (#48) to see the latest colour challenge and then to see this weeks Mercy Tuesday Sketch Challenge (#102)and what came off the craft desk was a very 'non-traditional' coloured Christmas card:) Thought it ended up kinda cute really?!

And the third card is just one for the stash as the Just Add Ink (#46)- Just add Critters challenge let the Stampin' Up! cute ladybug fly off the craft shelf and onto the page using this weeks sketch over at Inktegrity(#25)...Aaaahhh...I've managed to seize a few crafty moments over the past few days and hope to add a few more Christmas ones over the next few days:)

Anniversary Winner! Wahoo!

What a busy month November was?!?! I have a feeling that December may even have a similar feel to it already?! I was lucky enough to be a random winner for being a 'follower' over at CherylAnn's Stamping Spot last month - and because I wasn't out and about in blog world too much (apart from a little bit of a sketch inspiration here and there) I didn't even realise?! Sorry Cheryl...Congratulations, Happy Anniversary and THANK YOU!! Click here to pop over and see the latest that Cheryl's been up too!
