Spread your wings...........

Hello,

Months ago I pinned a photo to my PINTEREST board here that is regularly re-pinned! It's an amazing picture that I still love, so I've used it as the inspiration for this CAS card, hope you like.

This super little Aeroplane was a single clear stamp I bought from Scrapbook Boutique some time back and at the time I hand cut around the stamped image.  The sentiment is stamped to a strip of die cut vellum.  I've listed all he products below.

My card uses the colours and a beach theme for our Australian Summer.

• Cut a second layer of DP in the same peppermint green shade.
• Using my Silhouette Cameo and an Alpha from my Computer I cut the word 'happy' from the same peppermint card stock and using a glue pen adhered it to a Kaisercraft Sandy Toes Collectables shaped card. 
• Adhered a starfish shape from the same pack to another banner and add  a HOLIDAY banner label to make the up the third.
• Add one of the palm trees from the Collection to the right side of the DP.
• Add two more shapes to the top left of the dp and Using a small brad, attach the three banners over the dp securing at the back.
• Add some white twine finished in a bow at the side of the banners.
• Using double sided tape adhere the dp over the Peppermint green card stock.

Variations on a theme, kraft tags.

Hello, hello,

I've been playing some with the Cameo, which is great but oh how the time flies once you start.  I'm hoping I'll get a little quicker once I've got my head around all that this machine can do.

Today, I've made a series of tags using the sketch pens. I imported a  png/jpg file from the Creative Market which contained a bunch of pen drawings,  including wreaths and borders.  I picked one of the wreaths, then using the trace feature in Studio added this to a Silhouette Studio file tag.

I used a white sketch pen to draw the wreath and in some my initial.  In others I cut my initial from plain white card.

I think I prefer the ones with the white cut initial. Perhaps I would feel different if I'd used a black pen....just saying......mind you, I love white on kraft :)

These top tags measure 2 inches wide by 3-¾ inches tall.  I've finished with some of Annabelle's lovely fine twine.

Now these tags, that measure a little larger, use the sketch pens to outline my tags then the initial.  Or for something a bit different add a box using the sketch pens and a cut out initial......actually that box outline was a mistake so I had to cut a larger initial......but don't tell ah!!!

This last one  uses the sketch pen to outline the tag, plus this sweet image which is a print and cut image from the Silhouette Store.  (I've had this printed and cut since I first got my machine) The 'hello' sentiment and heart are from the stamp set pictured (Design it Yourself from Simple Stories) and stamped in Colorbox white ink. I might just use this one as a card topper.

The boss thinks we have to go and buy presents now, just so I can use these.........funny man!

What is it about the colour purple.........

.....More about that further down.


Good Morning all,

It was morning when I started on this post.....but the boss wanted to sort his photos for 2014 which has taken quite some time :)

Week one of 2015 is almost over, though it was a short week really it's been a good one here.
I hope you've been able to relax in the post-Christmas glow rather than rush back to work.

Walshie and I have ENJOYED some lovely beach walks, making the most of the cool sea breezes.
We're taking photos again, using the FMS Photo A Day Challenge and hope to be able to keep on track.  So basically I've been enjoying the lull before the storm!

A friend sent me the following message to welcome in the new year and I thought I'd share it here.

ALL ABOARD .......

The boarding on flight 2015 has been announced....Your luggage should only contain the best souvenirs from 2014.... 

The bad and sad moments should be left in the garbage.... 

The duration of the flight will be 12 months so, tighten your seat belt the next stop-overs will be: Health, Love, Joy, Harmony, Well-being and Peace.

The captain offers you the following menu which will be served during your flight....

A cocktail of Friendship  

A Supreme of Health

A Gratin of Prosperity

A bowl of Excellent news 

A Salad of Success

A Cake of Happiness

all accompanied by bursts of laughter.

Wishing all my family and friends  an enjoyable trip on board flight 2015.

Not bad ah.

Now a card to share today. Sorry about the pictures I always have trouble with shades of purple. These were taken on one of the days it rained all day, just after Boxing Day.

Oh dear, it's a shame to have a need for a Sympathy card this time of year but sadly I needed one.


I used a couple of the features on my Silhouette Cameo to produce this one. Print and Cut and my Sketch Pens to write the sentiment.......how cool is that.

The lovely flowers were a cut file shared by MaritzaLisa .  If you use a Cameo (or not) hers is a very inspiring blog to visit......promise.

I printed a set of the flowers to the card front and cut a second set to adhere over the top, adding some fine glitter to the centres.

It's good to see you here,  stop by the comments so I know you called past :-)

One Little Word for 2015....
