Christmas Sheep?

Who says sheep can’t be Christmassy…   well, this one is!  I have been wanting to join in at Lawnscaping Challenges (but sadly haven’t had time…  I’ve been watching though), anyway this week it’s a Tag challenge and I needed some tags, at Christmas, I know it’s hard to believe and now I’m wondering why I didn’t start making them earlier…   oh yes, I’m going to do that next year (aren’t I)!  I’m also going to enter Simon Says Stamp Anything Goes, because as it says…  Anything Goes!  For this tag I was inspired by a very talented paper crafter Annette over at My Clever Creations, Thanks heaps!  ps. I moved back into my craft room today…  and I am definitely doing my happy dance, it comes with new paint and a light directly above my desk, yipppeeee….   funny how it’s the small things that make us happy!!

ETA: A kind friend told me about the Color Q Challenge and recommended that I should join in with them as this tag, fits the bill.  I haven’t played with them before, but am really inspired by their color palettes, they are totally awesome!

Christmas Tag... is that a sheep?

Other Supplies:  Pencils – Sky Blue Light, Cloud Blue, Powder Blue, Carmine Red, Spring Green, Apple Green, Olive Green, 20% French Grey, Blush Pink.

Just a note

Hi again, I noticed that the Embellish Challenge has started and thought I would play along.   This time it is a Color Trends Tags Challenge,  which sounded like fun, until I tried to find a tag!   I am also joining the current Lily Pad Cards Embossing Challenge, nearly the whole card is embossed so I thought it fit the bill!

Mother’s Day

I would just like to share the card I made for my mother this year.  I couldn’t post it any earlier as she is one of my biggest fans, as I am one of hers!  She is the most amazing woman, and I can thank her for my creative streak as she can do anything she can put her mind to, she is such an inspiration.  It would have to be cake decorating that really became her thing, and she can bake and decorate the most awesome cakes!  I highly recommend her caramel mud cake, it is ‘to die for!’  So Happy Mother’s Day mum, you really are the Best & I love you the most!

I actually made a similar card to this recently, you can see it HERE, but I know that my mum isn’t really the CAS type, so this one is definitely alot busier.  I am entering this card into the Stamptacular Sunday Challenge where ‘MUM’S the Word’, this is my first time joining them and it looks like heaps of fun!
