CAS(E) This Sketch 183

Hello!

Today's card for this week's new CAS(E) This Sketch Challenge is a simple butterfly with a grunge background.

Stamps used are Happy Little Stampers Butterfly Birthday, SU! Gorgeous Grunge, and Hero Arts sentiment.

The big news this week is that, after a couple of months of not laying, my chickens are giving me eggs again! We've had such unseasonably hot weather here for so long that all the chickens in Queensland went into a second hard moult - my chickens were almost naked and laying nothing! The good news is, the weather has been a bit cooler (although 29 degrees in mid-Winter last week-end was not cool!) and the chickens are happier. :-)  I'm happier too! 2 degrees celcius here this morning and I was smiling, smiling, smiling. :-)

Thanks for dropping by to visit. I hope you join in the fun at CAS(E) This Sketch!

CAS(E) This Sketch 182

Hello!

After a four week break while I was traveling the world, I'm back to play along with CAS(E) This Sketch!

A good CAS sketch does wonders for the mojo when I haven't stamped for a while. This is my card.

I used SU! Embellished Events. I think this is the first time I've used this cute little ducky! The sentiment is Papertrey Ink. I was inspired by this awesome sketch by N@Ali.

Thank-you for coming by to visit me. I hope you can take some time to visit the rest of the design team. They have made some wonderful cards for this challenge!

Tag You're It! 51

Hello!

I'm back from holidays and keen to get some card making done to rejuvenate the mojo! :-) I've just spent almost four weeks in Europe visiting with my brother and his family. What a wonderful time we had! We visited Budapest, Vienna, and Italy (Pisa, Florence, Piombino, and Elba). It had been about 12 years since we last travelled, so it was lovely to get out and about again.

Today I am playing along with Tag You're It! This is my little tag.

I used PTI Doodlie-Do stamps for the images. My inspiration was Donna's gorgeous tag where I've taken her watercoloured background, red/yellow flower, and strip of washi.

And now, my jet lag is still trying to confuse me, so I think I need to get myself to bed for a good night's sleep.

Thanks for visiting!
