Winner of my Valentines Candy and a little purchase I just had to share...

Hi Blogging Beauties,

Is your life as crazy and busy as mine??  I must make it this way I guess..well at least there is never a dull moment!!  I am trying to catch up on 20,000 things today and I wanted to draw my Valentines candy. Thank you to everyone for entering!

The lucky winner is: Sandra H

Sandra I will be in touch with you to get your address details!

I have more candy all ready to go, so stay tuned I hope to post it up this week.

 

Also I went grocery shopping yesterday and I bought a pair of little booties for the baby.  I have started packing my hospital bag and booties or socks were on the list for the baby.  We dont have any of either yet so I had to go and purchase something.  This is what I found and I thought they were just so cute I had to share a photo with you!  I think they will keep his/her feet warm : )

Four weeks to go now...getting closer!

Off to work on the rest of my jobs.

I hope you have a lovely day, thanks for stopping by.

Mad for Markers ~ Monchromatic

Hi Blogging Beauties, 

 I hope you are having a happy Saturday. My Mum came over and we did some gardening.  I really needed a hand to get motivated.  We mulched and weeded the front garden.  It looks so nice again now, it is my favourite garden at our place.

I wanted to share my green Surfer Ian. I have put him onto a card. I think he will be perfect for one of my surfie cousins that live up on the Sunshine Coast and both have birthdays later this year...so does that mean I might be organised?? How nice it will be to pull the card out already made and send it off! 

 But I am getting sidetracked...did you want to know colours? 

 Here they are: YG11, YG03, YG23, YG06, G14, G05, G28 

 I followed a sketch, but the challenge has ended now...the sketch I found to be really good though, if you want an easy and quick card to go with an image you have coloured give it a try.  I made five cards with this sketch.

 Well, I hope you have a great weekend and get some colouring time in. Why not make a card for our challenge at Mad for Markers? Pop on over to Sammi's store to buy Surfer Ian and the new Greeting farm stamps here. 

 Thanks for stopping by, Alicia xx

60th Birthday Card

Hi Blogging Beauties,

I hope you have had a good week and are looking forward to a relaxing weekend : )

I made this card for an Principal I used to work for on the Gold Coast.  It was her 60th Birthday this week.  I used papers and elements form the Kaisercraft Sweet Nothing Collection.

I stamped the sentiment with Tim Holtz Vintage Photo ink.

I edged the flower and the music notes die cut with gold gel pen.

I have just finished a special order for 20 male cards...phew!

They have kept me busy.  I will share the pics soon.

See more 60th Birthday cards here!

I hope you had a beautiful day today : )

Thanks for visiting my blog.

Autumn Card with Inspiring Quote

Hi Blogging Beauties,

My mother-in-law requested this card for a friend of hers who has had some misfortune lately.

She wanted the quote and a picture of a field.  I came up with this...it kind of has an autumn feel to it I think.

This is the inside of the card.

I am off to tutoring, so just a quick post today.

I hope you have a beautiful day.

Thanks for stopping by.
