Keith Urban Concert in Tamworth

Hi Blogging Beauties,

Last night we went to the Keith Urban Concert in Tamworth.

It was the most awesome concert...he is an amazing performer...and such a nice person!

The TREC (Tamworth Regional Entertainment Centre) holds up to 5000 people and we were pretty close to the stage.  Here are some pics...

And last of all a photo of Ben and I making faces after the concert...too hyped up to sleep!

I am behind on commenting, but hope to catch up over the next few days...

Have a very happy Wednesday.

Mad For Markers ~ DT ~ YR, RV, BG Colour Challenge

Hi Blogging Beauties,

I took the opportunity to colour one of the "Miss Anya Hats Off" Stamps for my card at Mad for Marker's today.  Sammi has these gorgeous stamps available in her store.  I think they are perfect for little girl cards and teenage girl cards.

The Copics I used are:

 Hair: E47, E37, E35, E31

Skin: YR00, E51

Blues: BG05, BG01, BG10

Pinks: RV06, RV04, RV02

Oranges: YR07, YR16, YR31

You still have 17 days left to enter the Mad for Marker's current colour challenge.

All you have to do is use YR, BG and RV Copics.

Why not have a go...it is fun!!

Florist Course headbands and Corsages

Hi Blogging Beauties,

Just a few pics from my florist course.

We have learnt how to make headbands.

I am not very good at wiring, but I am getting better.

The photo above is my head, but Leona's head band.

This is Tania (lady in my course) modelling her headband.

This is me modelling my orchid head band.

(I didn't get it all finished so am holding it on for the photo.)

This is my orchid wrist corsage.

This is Leona's Wrist Corsage.

This is my tall table decoration.

It has been nice to make some new friends at the florist course and to learn new skills.

I hope you have had a lovely weekend.  

Ben and I went to the markets on Saturday and to a birthday lunch at Mum and Dad's today.

I have made heaps of cards and am very behind in my blogging.

I hope to catch up with it all over the next few days.

Thanks for visiting,

Mad For Markers ~ DT ~ Pink Baby Card

Hi Blogging Beauties,

Today is my day to remind you about the Mad for Markers current challenge.

The challenge is to use the colours RV, YR and BG.

Only three entries at this stage so you have a fantastic chance at winning the prize for this month!!

Head on over here for some fabulous inspiration from the DT.

I used Copics on my card...but not all the colours for the challenge.

I am missing some yellow/oranges.

Here is what I did use:

RV21, RV23, RV34, RV02, R85, BG10 (outline)

I decorated the inside too.  This card was for a special order.  I used my new swirl die cut again on this card...I love it!  Its a great space filler.

Can I also remind you about the current challenge over at Let's Ink it Up.

The theme is Easter...a great start for those Easter cards...head on over here to be inspired by some beautiful creations!

I wanted to say a big thank you to Jeannie my beautiful blogging friend for this award:

If you have never hopped on over to Jeannie's blog you should! Her blog is updated daily and you will find tons of inspiration and talent over there! She is also a beautiful person.  I have never met Jeannie face to face, but I get her "vibe" through her blog and love it!  Does that make sense? I think you might know what I mean.

I would like to nominate all my followers to receive this award.

So please feel free to take it and re-post it!

50th Wedding Anniversary

Hi Blogging Beauties,

Sorry I have been missing in action lately.

Life has been keeping me from blogging.  There is a lot going on at the moment while Ben and I figure out what we are doing with our lives lol!

But today I have two cards I made for two ladies who wanted 50th Wedding Anniversary Cards.

I went with these pretty gold papers again.

I don't normally use gold on my cards, but this occasion certainly called for it!

I kept the second one quite simple.

Ben of course loves it because he loves the Clean and Simple style.

 I would like to link up to:

Michelle's Make it Monday at Pink Paper Paradise

Michelle is looking for a Design Team so head on over if you are interested!

My candy for this week that I am giving away is:

Cute little Dangling Edwin.

I have bought more EZMount, so this time he is mounted and ready to use!

All you have to do is leave a comment on this post and be a follower!

This is my third candy in about three weeks and it is so nice to send a little something to my frequent blogging friends.

I hope you have a lovely week.
