Playdate Cafe Challenge

There is nothing better than a little bit of fresh air....oops no.... that's second best thing after,

 time spent at my craft LOL

Yesterday was beautiful here in my little part of the world ( Warragul, Victoria, Australia ), Today not so nice, but i have had a nice morning outside with my hubby and kids tidying a much need part of the garden...the one straight outside my workshop....wish i had taken a before and after to show you all!

Hopefully this afternoon i can indulge in a little craft and that would make today near to perfect!

Today i would like to share my take on the The play date cafe Challenge PDCC82

This was a real hard one for me, my first two attempts went into the recycle bin!

This is what i finally came up with

CAS-ual Fridays Challenge CFC3

Wow What a busy week, things here don't ever seem to slow down! Between Beths kinder activities, and all the other little mum things, as well as prepping and teaching a workshop, there was not to much times left.
But his week i made an effort to get out to my workshop, as soon as the kids are in bed of i would run, and get in a hour or two of card making or scraping! ..... even thought I'm nearly frozen into a ice block out in there......its worth it ,  it makes me HAPPY.


The new challenge at CAS-ual Friday is announced...... every Friday .(duh)  If u haven't had a chance pop over there and see what all the goodness is about! 
This week we are all challenged to use Rhinestones, Pearls, Glitter, Stickles... Gee that should be easy! Don't we all just love a bit of bling! OH and we must keep it Clean And Simple ( CAS)   Ok so that made it just a little harder lol.


I sat down and put this card together....then when it came  to photographing  it , i realised that may just be a bigger challenge!  so please forgive the  photos!  Every photo the glitter didn't sparkle and show up right until it was on this unusual angle!
Oh and if any ones got a hint on how to  take better photos bring it on HEHEHEH

This was so much fun and really simple to make.
Started by blending a piece of card with a mix of stormy sky and Victorian velvet distress!.
I used a Kaszazz design adhesive they come in a great range of designs, and can be used with embossing powder, glitter , foils, perfect pearls and more! This design is called Butterfly swirl ( 10140) 
On top of the adhesive i sprinkled Fairy dust glitter , Pralines and cream !   mmmm nearly good enough to eat lol Unfortunately the pic doesn't do it justice it is so yummy!
Stamped believe underneath and put on just a little more bling with a row of sticky rhinestones.


Hope you all enjoy my take on the challenge!


If you like, stick around as i share another card i made this week.


With the new release of products from Kaszazz just a week ago , i have been so busy trying out the new stamps. Straight away i was drawn to one in particular
4481L Dragon

Here is the fist card that i made with it...

Another Challenge and more!

Hello Everyone ! ( or the one or two who read my blog lol)

I have Lots of fun things going on today a great challenge card and some great new products to share!

The challenge that i completed was for the Play date cafe The challenge was to produce a project using the  colour palette bellow.

This is the card that i came up with.....its not the most original thing in the world but I'm happy with the results!

and here is a close up of the butterfly......

The butterfly was stamped and embossed with clear embossing powder, this allowed for the beautiful Jasmine Lee paper to show through, then added colour to the areas i wanted, with the Dusty concord distress ink. See Below for all the details.
