Embossed Card

Embossed card.  Not a good picture as the light was a tad too bright.

Scalloped cards

These scalloped shapes were cut with the grand nestability and coloured with spectrum noir markers.

Marika's birthday Card

Shamela demo'd this card at World Card Making day at the beginning of October.  During the demo, I managed to complete the card except for the coloured image.  I finished it on the weekend past and presented it to Marika on her birthday.  I completely forgot to take a photo of it and had to 'pinch' it off Marika's sight :-)

Silhouette Cuts

Two projects cut on the silhouette.  The baby bottle card was a bit of a challenge because I really wanted quite a heavy weight card but the silhouette cannot handle 300g cardstock at all.  I cut the shape on 180g cardstock, traced it onto 300g and then cut with a scissor.  Not perfect but passable.

The snowflake was cut on a 200g cardstock and needed a little 'scissor' help on one or two places.

Cut files for the Silhouette and other

I was cajoled by Amanda into hauling out my Silhouette and on expressing my wish to buy the new Silhouette Cameo was firmly told by her that 'you have a Silhouette'. Well, that saved me quite a bit of money as although my Silhouette cannot do a decent cut on cardstock heavier than 200g, there's absolutely nothing wrong with it.

So, out it came and there I was clicking on the links that Amanda sent and surfing away until I found some really great sites that had free cutting files.

You will find these links on the bottom right of my blog.  A great big thanks goes out to the owners of these sites.

Road trip on the motor bike

It's 5am on Friday morning and my last post before I done my alien regalia and hubby and I together with 7 others head off to Port Elizabeth, East London, Port St. John, Graaff Reinnet and Oudtshoorn on a 7 day trip. We are hoping to do a few day trips to places of interest along the way.

It's stopped raining for now but very wet. I am praying it will stay that way.

The first card I have made decorating the inside as well.  Another Magnolia image.

The card shape was cut out with the large nestie scallop courtesy of Amanda's play dates.

The middle was cut out with a plain nestie.
