By LORi Designs Challenge is having its final challenge this week:( so on Friday before K2's swimming carnival I just had to grab one of my By LORi Designs Digi Shop fabulous images -click here to have a lookie at so many gorgeous designs, Copic colours & Stampin' Up! papers to use this weeks sketch to create this simple but sweet 'Thank You' card:)
I found a little of my Mojo over the weekend! Here is a quick pic of my latest creation for this weeks sketch over at Mojo Monday (#192)...
Gotta dash to pick up Grammy from the bus station:)
Stay tuned for some more snippets of weekend craftiness later!!
With a birthday parcel ready to send for a 'May Birthday' I popped over to see the latest colour combo at Colour Q (#83) and this weeks theme at Our Creative Corner of Embroidery Floss. As I am away from the craft desk my holiday kit included Copics coloured images By LORi Boyd; Stampin' Up! paper, dimensionals; coloured brads and cutter. I then raided mum's sewing stash for Embroidery Floss and wahlah... a mid week birthday card:)
On Friday I was just 'blogging around' checking out the latest in challenges to discover that I made it in the Top 3 at Sweet Sketch Wednesday for one of my Easter cards last week!! Wahooo:) With a trip to the city for 83rd Birthday celebrations just around the corner...I was getting inspiration to create the perfect card for my wonderful nan and there I was in the Top 3!! So here is my Friday afternoon creation - with this weeks sketch from Sweet Sketch Wednesday (#99) I then popped over to see the latest colours at Colour Q (#82) and set out to create...mind you I was supposed to be hanging out the washing, folding, planting vegies in my vegie patch, packing for the trip to the city, wrapping pressies...and so on..but ahhh creating nan's card was so much better:)
Close up.....
Inside the card....
I took photos late yesterday afternoon of my creations hoping to have a chance to blog last night before setting off this morning...however those bits and pieces that I had put off earlier needed to be done! Luckily mum has internet access...so with kiddlywinks tucked in bed, the computer is warmed up and ready and plenty of Easter chocolate to munch on and a Kahlua & milk to sip...stay tuned for other snippets of weekend craftiness:)
A little bit of 'Bugs & Embossing' inspiration over at Stamps R Us and the 'Wings' theme over at Stamp Something this week led me searching through the stamps to find this cutsie dragonfly stamp that I've had for ages...a Kaisercraft stamp that I just knew would come in handy one day lol:) A Mother's Day card creation that uses Cuttlebug embossing, bling things from the local craft shop and gorgeous papers, ink, sentiment, ribbon & label punch from Stampin' Up!
With K1's orthodontic appointments at the end of this week keeping us from returning 'back to school' for Term 2...I decided to leave a crafty Mother's Day package for my relief teacher to do on Thursday:) So I created this 'good idea' in my head that became a little bigger than anticipated... 24 embossed cards; 24 pillow box die cuts - to hold 24 wrapped Tim Tams & 24 teabags; many paper punched flowers and the other bits and pieces were left for the PP/Yr 1 & the relief teacher to create for their mums:) I'm sure they will be made with love! (and hopefully not too much frustration - lol) So...here it is...the "Mother's Day Relief Pack"...
Sample of front cover - blank white embossed cards ready for kids to colour & decorate:)
Sample for inside the card to attach Pillow Box:)
K1 is having a friend fly in from the city and with anticipation about the time they are going to spend together in our part of the world - there is just a little bit of excitement in the air! Over at Just Add Ink this week the theme is 'Mates/Friendship' and at Wee Memories is 'Girls Just Wanna Have Fun'....so what better reason to create:) I popped over to By LORi Designs Challenge to see the latest colour combination and oh what a lovely Sunday afternoon:) 
Check out the magic weather we are having....we've just got back from a couple of nights camping...unpacked etc... etc...poured a glass of wine and thought I could just get a little crafty before the Easter Bunny comes:) and of course my Digi Stamp Boutique bunny images were Copics coloured and just waiting to be created into cards lol...
The first card I created used the inspiration of Flowers, Buttons & Sparkles from Stamp Something and this weeks Mojo Monday (#187) sketch.
The second card uses the sketch from Sweet Sketch Wednesday (#98)and 'cos the bunny is so cute that there is no need for text as inspired by Cute Card Thursday (#161)...actually come to think of it I used no text for all three Easter cards this time...lol:)
The third card certainly was just a bonus as I was on an Easter/Spring roll!! Oh what a wonderful Sunday afternoon I had:)
Finally for each card I used Crazy For Challenges challenge of creating Easter Gift - so using a Pillow Box Die Cut and Textured Embossing folder (thanks to Stampin' Up! and my craft buddy for purchasing such cool products!!) I then added a little bit of ribbon & 'For You' stamp - oh and I popped in some tasty mini Easter Eggs..they are travelling as we speak to the kids grandparents to enjoy for Easter:)
The third card for this post I think is my favourite...When I was browsing thru some challenges over at Feline Playful...I discovered a new challenge blog called Wee Memories and this weeks challenge was 'All Things Adorable' and the By LORi Boyd image I'd colour a 'wee' while ago just jumped out and was the starting point for my card..Stampin' Up! card, punches, bling, sentiment, Copics colouring and an adorable birthday card ready & waiting for someone adorable:) Stay tuned for the Easter creations in my next post! A very creative Sunday was had with a creative craft buddy:)
