Finding my sea legs.

The title of my post is referring to this medical condition that I am suffering from at the moment ( don't worry mum and dad nothing serious will ring one day soon just very tired), there is a problem with my middle ear at the moment that makes me feel like i am living on a ship, some days it is a carm Cruise then others like I have been caught in a storm of high waves. So posting over the next few mths might be a bit short as the computer makes me feel worse. But as I keep telling my hubby just buy me a CD of sea sounds some scented candles I will close my eyes and I will be on the cheapest cruise every, (must be the Scottish coming out in my).

Anyway you didn't come here for a medical update but to look at my last creation, this week at JAI the challenge was JUST ADD STAMPS no bling, dies, ribbon etc just plain old stamps. I really took to this challenge long time since I have done a "simple" card.
i have used Crumb Cake as the card base and the colours are Pumpkin Pie, Always Artichoke and Cajun Craze for the words. Around the edge of the card I have used my scorer and scored two lines all around to give a cross in the corners just to add that extra touch to the card.

I am Back with a Sneak Peek

Well where has a month and a half gone, cant believe it has been that long. But the time has gone very quickly with kids things and the earth quake in Christchurch my mojo to make cards left for a while but now it's back.
I went to our local regional's at the end of Feb and one of the benefits is we got a new stamp set from the Autumn/ Winter mini, "create a cupcake" I love this stamp set very fun to use. It also has a matching punch.
The layout might look familiar to a few people out there I saw this great card on Renée Van Stralen blog and I love it so I CASED the layout.
It was good to make a very girly birthday card was a bit lacking in my supplies at the moment.

I have used Melon Mambo, Pick Pirouette, Choc Chip, Crumb Cake and whisper white. Do you notice the brad this is one of the new vintage brads in the main catty, go and have look they are great and so cheap.
take care
