Kaisercraft secret garden,paper collection and matching collectables. Here I layered some of the doily collectables on top of one another with foam pads, and just went to town with ribbon,lace and flowers,and punched leaves.The pretty lace on the bottom card was a brilliant find in a second hand shop in a country town outside of Adelaide . I visited there with my sister last time I was on holidays’ and found lots of interesting buttons and lace! Today is so much cooler here, it’s lovely, so I am enjoying some relaxing time in the craft room. Til tomorrow….

My Minds Eye My Story 3 and 4..
Today we will continue on with My Minds eye paper collection,(6″ pad) and matching chipboard elements for these two cards.I added lace and ribbon on the top card, and flowers, gold twine and sequins on the lower card. We have a new puppy here at home, her name is Luna and she is 8 weeks old.I had forgotten how energetic and inquisitive little puppies were, and we have to make sure my craft room door is kept closed – she can’t go in there unsupervised – there was nearly an inking mishap when she thought the top of my distress re-inker bottles would be good to chew on.Anyway, she is good company for Nathan and is keeping him on his toes!

Grap0hic 45 a gilded Lily
I Hope everyone has had a lovely Christmas break!Today I am showing a couple of side stepper cards I made with graphic 45 A gilded lily paper collection. I have done a very quick and easy youtube video tutorial on how to do these shaped cards – I have adjusted the measurements so that they fit into a standard envelope, and I think they still have the same wow factor..the link is over here on the right hand side of my blog.All I added to these was some ribbon and lace, and fussy cutting of the papers added the rest of the decoration. Today is a gorgeous day here in Adelaide, a much nicer 27C expected today,and a perfect day to relax and recover from the Christmas madness! til tomorrow…
My minds eye fancy that number 3…wedding..
This one is a favourite because I got to use so much lace ! I wrapped it around the dress image I had fussy cut from a piece of the patterned paper ( my minds eye fancy that),and also fussy cut the mans suit as well. I am back in the craft room, just for short visits, but it’s amazing how much better I feel when i have been in there! til tomorrow…..
My minds eye ..Fancy That ..2..
My second wedding card made with my Minds eye fancy that. Lots of lace, and gold thread here, and the heart is fussy cut from one of the journalling cards. I always look at the journalling cards first, and if there are any that won’t make a suitable card topper they get fussy cut up into pieces I will use. Nothing is wasted with the journalling cards!Til tomorrow…..
