I have been seeing a lot of gorgeous yellow and grey cards online lately. After I brought a 12x12 paper pack with some gorgeous yellow pattern papers - I was inspired to make this card. I love how this card turned out - will be making a few more with different colour combos and pattern papers!!
Just sharing a few more books I have read recently...
I picked this book up at a discount book shop and honestly was not sure if I would enjoy it or not. It was a great story - set in the 70's British punk rock era and the 1990's. It tells the story past / present each chapter - I'm glad it brought it!
Another discount book and a great suspense story, with a twist at the end you didn't see coming!! It's book 1 of a series and even though I really enjoyed the book, I don't think I will look for the rest of books.
And yet a third book from the same bookstore - this was a pretty good short story.
I forgot to share pics of these gorgeous beaded goodies! I went to a bead party at Diane's (Cathie's mum) a few weekends ago. Diane's lovely friend Elaine makes a variety of beaded items and set up her stock for us to look through and buy. I brought a few lovely things - this crocheted mug / glass cover (great for when you are having a drink outside and what to keep bugs out of your drink!). I've seen a few variations of this idea around blog-land and think I will have a go at creating some!
A beaded bookmark - what a great idea!! I have a stash of beautiful glass beads - might be time to dust them off and finally use them for this idea!!
I brought this bracelet for one of my niece's birthdays - it would have been nice to be able to get 2 horse themed bracelets, so the girls don't fight over it, but unfortunately Elaine only had one in stock :(
Elaine lives on the Sunshine Coast QLD - if you are interested in any of her gorgeous beaded creations let me know and I will pass on her email address :)
After LOTS of discussion and some research - we have finally picked our holiday destination.....FIJI!!
I spent a lovely day scrapping / cardmaking with Tanya on Saturday. I got my cards finished for this month's card swap at Simply Crafty - "boy's birthday" cards. This card uses a lot of similar elements (stamp, die cuts, embossing folder) to the boy card swap I did last year, but I think they are perfect for boy cards!!
I popped into Aldi (supermarket) on Thursday - just to buy a cake container that was on special and walked out with some cute things to do some cooking :) I am such an impulse buyer! LOL I'm going to pop them into the cupboard for Easter - hoping to do some cooking with Cohan. I haven't done any cooking since the Christmas cooking last year - so looking forward to it!!
I did manage to get my cake container - which I'm super excited about!! I have a few Tupperware / plastic cake tins, but they aren't high enough. This one is perfect and even better has handles, which will make it easy to carry my cakes / goodies to parties :)
I also brought another cookbook - I have a slight addiction to cookbooks, especially Women's Weekly ones!! I think I like looking through the recipes and drooling over the pictures, more than cooking! LOL
After Elvis (my Siamese Fighter fish) died last year, I wasn't going to get another fish. I was surprised when Craig brought another fish home last month - his work colleague was moving interstate and her fish needed a new home, so Elmo and his tank came to live with us :) I forgot how much I enjoy having a fish swimming around in his tank - very relaxing :)
