I came up with a little card design for my CPT work at DownUnder Direct.
I used the awesome Crafter's Companion to create this Window Card. If you haven't seen this clever tool before you should check it out here.
It makes card making, boxes, and paper crafts soooo EASY!


I found these brilliant Vintage Images a while ago and was busting to use one.

So cute!

Thanks for calling in. See you all soon!

Yay!
I finally got to scrap last night when the kids were in bed.

Last week my youngest kids got their school photos taken and I realised I still had last years photos waiting to be scrapped!.....lol
So at least I can say I have made a start now.

I splooshed (yes that is my technical term for it.....lol) some paint around on the Bazzill for an interesting background.

Poor Blog....sorry for being away so long.....lol

I haven't had the chance to scrap for a while. There has just been too much going on to be able to get some scrapping stuff out and make a big creative mess!
But I have managed a couple of Digi Layouts using some cute little goodies I picked up.

I just had a play with one of the new Spellbinders Impressabilities as part of my CPT work for DownUnder Direct.


Don't you just love how romantic these look.



I wanted to see how it would look used on a Vintage Style Wedding Invitation.
So this is what I came up with!


It's very hard to get a good photo of the inside but I also embossed the vellum with the same Impressabilities.
