May Creations No. 4

I have come to like the effect of using the black permaball marker (660024) to highlight or finish off a design. I think they look funky and add a different feel to the image. Again I have used a little bit of contraband but in my defence these cards were done before the Kaszazz May 2009 release, and I would now use our OWN scallop punch for the flower.

May is a crazy time of year for birthdays so I was really happy to come up with this design at my last craft night here in the studio. I made variations in 3 different colours and personalised them using the Alphamini stickers in the Wierd Font.

Happy birthday to all the little munchkins...and the grown ups too of course, who celebrate their special day in May. K -xx-

May Creations No. 3

I LOVE the template for this card.... Sooooo simple and soooo cute. Okay I have used a bit of contraband for this card being the cuttlebug, although technically that's an aditional tool so not really contraband however the scallop punch is an EK one!! AND with the new Kaszazz May 2009 Release we now have our own EXCLUSIVE scallop punches so this can be incorporated into this design. Oh and I have used a couple of buttons too.

This card was for a baby shower for my beautiful friend, Jo. The little man is due ANY day now so looking forward to meeting him soon!!!!

May Creations No. 2

Sorry all, I have had to create these all as separate posts. I'll keep it short and sweet....here goes..

Okay, card number 2 was made for a friend of my sister-in-law. I think the little love birds are very sweet and I love the Black and Green Bazzil together. Nothing special with this one, Ancient Page Ink (Coal Black) for the stamp with the olive green chalk ink for the circle, a bit of white spot organdy (70372) Did i mention that we now stock ALL of our ribbons in 2m lots!!! AWESOME!! And finally the corner rounder used for the scallops!!! I used the Mini messages - Endearments (4177KK) to add the sentiment. Whale Circle punche used to punch out the birds and the circle from the Doodle Designs Endearments set (4176KM)

Okay just tried to upload a few image at a time but it's going to have to be one by one, so bear with me and I will try and get them all on throughout the week.

I made this card for a friend who recently got engaged. I used Ancient Page Ink - Aegean Blue (72085) for the image and the heart from the Love & Cherish Stamp set (4128KO) ....one of my favourites (. I have stamped it onto gloss card which gives it a beautiful shine and then added the organdy swirl ribbon and a flower with a rhinestone to blend it all together. I love this card and have made it up in different colours which look good too although I LOVE this blue!!! Back with more soon. K-x-

Okay girls, well looking at the date of my last post it looks like I have been a little slack. In actual fact I have had a very creative month or so and YES I have been keeping photos to add to the blog to help keep you creating during the cold nights recently.
This month has seen me run a TTD with Corrie and a little help from some of the other girls, Karen, Fiona and Lisa....Thanks girls!!! Brand new Kaszazz Catalogue released last weekend in a "Surprise" release. Lots of new products and products being "refreshed". I did a dem today which was lots of fun!!! I felt inspired again and really enjoyed watching the enthusiasm of the girls there. (If you have logged on to have a look....welcome!!)
I have seen my little man turn 4 a couple of weeks ago, and I have started reading "Twilight" after much encouragement from a few girlfriends recently. I'm up to chapter 4 now and as soon as I'm done here I'm off to see what Edward is up to next!!
Okay, grab a cuppa or a glass of red and settle in for a few minutes to have a read. I've got about 8+ images to come.

April Card Swap

Hi all, tonight is just a quick one. I had an order arrive today and got a bit of inspiration for Karen's Point Cook Workshop Group's April Card Swap. "Autumn" is the theme so I had a play with the Distress Inks onto Gloss card using the Kaszazz Leaf stamp (1784LH) I then cut it and mounted it with Parakeet Bazzill and used the new Endearment Words (4177KK) and mounted onto Apricot Bazzill. Finally I sponged the edges and then also stamped the Leaf in the Fired Brick Distress Ink to enhance the background, and stamped a couple of the leaves inside the card to carry the theme through to the inside. It's come up okay I think. Hope you like it.

I think I'll write this one up and send it in as a M & T Project. I'll let you know how it goes.

Oh, the other little lurk I managed to get from Rach on the weekend was how to use Picasa 3 to edit photos. I've had a little play to see how it works so hopefully it'll come up ok on here.

Okay that's all, hope you all have a good week.
