Autumn

Hello!
I absolutely love this time of the year! The colours in the trees are beautiful.
Yesterday my youngest daughter came home from school with a gorgeous red leaf the shape of a heart for me. When the girls do wee things like that I get all choked up lol
Anyhow, that leaf inspired me to make the card above. I used Walztingmouse's Peace and Plenty stampset which you can find here.

mojo Monday


Hello!
Have you ever had one of those days where you couldn't put a card together if your life depended on it? I'm having one of those days, took me ages to make this card this evening, at one stage I had the image of a witch stamped to my cheek lol. Maybe I'll have better luck tomorrow. Above is my card for this weeks mojomonday sketch.

Hello!
Nichole Heady from PTI has a few challenges over at her blog to celebrate World card making day. One of the challenges is to create a project which is inspired by Colors, designs or themes that are prominent in the Japanese culture. I googled a few images and found a lot of Japanese flowers so thats what inspired me to make the card below.

Thanks for looking.

Teachers...............




Hello!
It's coming up to the end of the school year so I thought i'd better get busy and make a card for each of my daughters teachers. I made these on friday morning while at a friends house. I think most of you may know (waltzingmouse) and I'm sure you already know she has started her own stamping line, you can check her stamp sets out here they are something else! 
While I was there on friday morning she was working on cards for the release of her new sets, you will be blown away when you see them. Pop over to her blog,  the sets are due to go on sale in a couple of days!

I used the mojomonday sketch for the red & green card but think I'm to late to enter it lol
Hope you like my cards & thanks for looking.

Genevieve.
