More Murals

This mural is at Heddon Greta. It depicts the speedway there. Can you see the kookaburra in the mural?

Card in a Box

I saw this card in a box at a crop and decided I wanted to make one. After having a good look at the finished product  I came away and made my version of it. I am sure there should be somebody I need to acknowledge for originally designing it but I have no idea. So thanks to the person who designed this card in the first place. It had so many possibilities. It was a good way to get rid of scrap papers. 

With Love Card

This card was made using Kaisercraft products and the cardstock was from SALT.

The butterflies were punched using a Martha Stewart punch and they hung using butcher's twine.

Summer Fun at Stockton

Basic Grey Oh Baby collection was perfect for this layout I did for my holiday in the sun. It was a fun layout to do. The top left represents the sun and the rays coming from the sun radiating from it. Libby, my scrapbooking and card making  friend did a demonstration on panels radiating but her'e were joined together. To represent the sun I left a gap between the rays.

Jessica

I am very proud of my granddaughter Jessica. She was elected house captain for 2014 and received the PBL award in her class. Only one person receives this per class. Keep up the good work.

Rose-Anne with Santa

This shows me meeting Santa at the Girl Guides Christmas Carols that we sang at in the retirement village.

Santa and Cooper

Amanda takes Cooper to see Santa and have breakfast with him at McDonalds  every year. Christmas is so special

Christmas tree peg

This chipboard heart is covered in Christmas wrap with punched hearts and a hand made flower. The back has a peg so it can be attached to the Christmas tree and a card can be put on the tree and it will not blow away. I made these with the senior Girl Guides a few weeks ago.

Christmas Cards

These are the Christmas cards I did with the Girl Guides the other night. I did them with both the junior and senior girls. The sentiments were printed on the computer and glued on.

Cooper's Christmas Tree

 Cooper has his own Christmas tree and poses for the camera. Ho Ho Ho. Merry Christmas.

Paper Christmas Tree

This tree was made the same way as the previous tree decoration. The exception is the strips are rolled horizontally not in a circle. The Kaisercraft rub on works well with the decorations. 

Christmas Decoration

This decoration is easy. I covered a chipboard circle with Basic Grey patterned paper. Cut strips of paper and rolled them and let them unravel a little. Then glued the rolled circles to form a tree shape. I inked a chipboard star for the tree and used Kaisercraft rub ons for the Merry Christmas . I punched a hole in the top and tied a ribbon on the top.

Gift boxes

Here are some gift boxes I made from Kaisercraft patterned paper. I also  made the bows . They are fun to make.

Santas

 Santa in Australia. I think he will be hot here as we have a hot summer and Christmas .

This shows some of my Santas. 

I painted the welcome Santa. 

A close up of my welcome Santa I painted in 1998 circa. I always think of my mother when I look at it as she was in hospital suffering a mini stroke and my way of dealing with this was to paint this Santa. She survived the stroke but died in 2002 from cancer.

Christmas tree

 My first Christmas in my new home and this is my Christmas tree up and waiting for presents. I have lots of hand made decorations on it.

Christmas Bow

This Christmas bow is made from Kaisercraft paper with a gem in the middle. I have backed it with chipboard to make it sturdy to hang on the tree or sit on the table without blowing away.

Christmas trees

These 2 Christmas trees were made from cardstock and patterned paper. I used the sizzix machine to cut the stars and I have punched shapes and used Kaisercraft bling. The stars are held in place using a long wooden skewer poked down the centre. A double star hides the wood. Kindly Glitz adds sparkle to the trees.

Merry Christmas Banner

I made this bunting using Basic Grey patterned paper, Kaisercraft cardstock, SALT chipboard letters, Kaisercraft bling, handmade paper bows and ric rac. I designed the triangles myself. The tops have punched borders. The glue I used was Gel Medium.
