This is us punting on the Avon in Christchurch in 2009.

Well yes I am still here, been missing inaction for a while but have created some collages so wanted to show them here. This one is of a conference I went to and we are all having fun at the entertainment night called irish night.

Yesterday wasn't very nice weather here so I crafted.
Little blue box was just for fun.
Handbags are for my Grandchildren to keep their pencils in.
ATC are from a group I am on it was a round robin.

I made this mermaid for a swap on NZMail Art.
I used my new Copic Pens and Airbrush to colour her.

I have been playing with my latest purchase, yesterday I bought a set of copic markers and a little air brush.I am going to have so much fun with them. These pansies were made with my butterfly punch.

Another challenge entry, I cut this one with my Cuttlebug.

This is a challenge on my Yahoo Group. Enjoyed doing this one.

Couldn't resist the flowers on my paper so made this card with them.

I had a day out on Saturday with my friend TeeJay. All day stamping and crafting, this is what I did. It's a Kaiser Craft handbag pen holder painted and then covered in some fantastic kaiser craft papers.

I've been in the craft room today. Made this card as a challenge had to use 1 image. 2 dies and 3 favourite embleshiments. I also made a page in a friendship book for a round robin I'm in and cleaned my room ready for the next round.

I made this for a colour challenge Pink Brown and Green

My craft room after I've been in there for a couple of hours. Guess it need a tidy up.

The inside of the card from Olivia

This card was made for me by my 8 year old Granddaughter.

I'm so happy this morning. I made this tag for a challenge on I Did It Creations and I won.
I can't believe it. I'm going to get Digi Stamp as a prize.

This one is pink pastel and is for a cuttlebug challenge

I made this wee gift bag just because I could.

Made this too, altered tag card made with my favourite colour and things ie butterflys.

Made this today, I've called it chocolate cupcake as my daughter bakes them all the time and would love to open a wee shop selling them I think I will make it her birthday card.

We have been away for the weekend in our Campervan.
Went to New Plymouth and this was the parking area so many boats out and the port very busy.
Boats coming in at midnight and leaving at 6 in the morning.
Just the place for a mad boatie, who can't go boating any more.

This little purple princess has been made for a green and purple challenge

Have been playing with an altered tag. The brief was sonething with wings.
I coloured the butterfly with tombows and a aqua pen filled with clear floor polish.
Make the tombows shine.

I made this as a challenge could only use stickers, needs a word but haven't got any.

Wendy sent me the butterfly in part of goodies for winning the challenge. Thanks Wendy. The border is another new one from spellbinders.

I've been playing with my new spellbinder border.

I made this for a challenge the recipe was, bows, border, distressed, bling and brads

My entry in the pink elephant challenge theme Spring.

Another friendship book.

Easter card made using my cuttlebug, have I said before my favourite piece of equipment.

This is a page in a friendship book that I had to work in.
Lovely swap

This was made at stamp club this week. really easy.

This card has just won a challenge for Feb on a internet group I am on.
I am so lucky I have been voted the winner for the last 2 months.
Thanks to everyone who voted for me.

These ATC's are from a round robin I was in.
I did the backgrounds and then 3 other people worked on them, added a work, an image and embellishment.
I love doing these little pieces of art.

This is my TPE challenge for this week.
Just add green.

The letter R.

ATC's that I received it is the letter Q we are working our way through the alaphbet.
It has been a fun swap.

This is for my Granddaughter who will be 8 later this month.

I think I may have become addicted to this diamond fold.

I made this today, playing with my tombow pens and my heat gun.
Sometimes I think we forget just how much equipment we have.

Hi all,
I just had to post this.
Have just had an email from our DIL
Hughan are Grandson who is just 5 was worried about the Tsunami, he called it a "Salami" and was worried about how or who would look after the Prime Minister if it was a big Salami.

This is made with just 12x12 double sided scrapbook paper. I think it really needs to be the thicker ones.

I made this after seeing it on a blog that I can't remember the name of.
The ladies from my cuttlebug group told me about it.

This is my entry in an online group I'm with.
We had a sketch and this is wha t I did with it.

I have been playing with my Spellbinder dies. I cut 5 pictures in different sizes and layered them up like a 3D picture.

I made these flowers with spellbinder round scallop.

3 rounds for each flower, then screwed up into a ball, put together with a jewell brad.

I first saw them on a stamping up site but I don't have the punch they used, so adapted it to spellbinders.

The first two cards are a box and cards to go into it, that I have made for a raffle prize at WI hope whoever wins likes it. This one is my entry in a challenge called Ribbon It.
