Back in the saddle

Hi everyone.
It has been a long time since I last posted, but I am here to say that I am back! I have been quiet on the blog front, but I haven't stopped creating. Here are some cards that I created recently for Lime Tart using the May A la Tarte. This kit is now sold out, but there are still plenty of other beautiful kits available in store. I just love those Penny Black ...Wishes Stamps.

I was a little bit excited to see my tutorial on how to colour a Christmas Pudding using Copic Markers in this months issue of Australian Cardmaking, Stamping and Papercraft.

That is my little pudding down in the right hand corner.  That counts as a cover picture doesn't it!

I am also now selling cards, invitations and other papercrafts at the Goulburn Homestead Markets. These markets are on every third Sunday of the month at the Riversdale Homestead in Goulburn.  They are gorgeous markets, packed full of so many beautiful stalls.  My stall name is Renee's Paper Tree.  I was sick this last month so sadly I wasn't able to make it, but I am looking forward to the November markets. I would love to see you there if you live close by.  Here is a photo of my stall banner, sorry it is not a very good one.

I will post more photos of my display after the next markets.  I haven't really taken any nice photos of it yet, but I will post them I promise.

It feels so good to be back in blogland.  It was nice to have a break, but I am now refreshed and ready to start sharing again.  I will be back very soon with some more creations.

Until then

Lime Tart Gallery Reveal!

Hi everyone.

It feels like I haven't shared any of my scrapbooking for a little while.  So today I thought I would share with you a few of my projects using the Half Tart from Lime Tart.

This frame I made a step by step post for the Lime Tart blog a few weekends ago.  You can see the post here.

The team did an amazing job creating with their kits this month.  So be sure to check out the rest of the gallery right here.

I will be back soon with some more card sharing.

Until then

Lime Tart May Gallery

Guess what!!

I have been scrapbooking again. This time with the May Full Tart from Lime Tart.

The Basic Grey Konnichiwa Papers in this kit are simply stunning.  The colours are so vibrant and fun to play with.

Here are a few of my projects.

Hi 

Head over to the Lime Tart May Gallery to see the amazing projects the rest of the team created with their kits and to see some more close-up photos of my projects.

Thanks for stopping by today.

Magnolia Monday

Brrrr hasn't the temperature dropped.  

Perfect for staying indoors and colouring.

I have long adored the cute images from Magnolia Stamps, so I was extremely excited when Philippa ordered some in for Lime Tart.

Here is my very first Magnolia Stamps creation using Rose Scent Tilda.

I love her just a little bit.

Those gorgeous papers and embellishments are from this months Full Tart.  Such vibrant colours..they make me happy.

While am I here I might as well share another card.

This one is using the very sweet Cinnamon Sugar from Whimsy stamps.

I love her too :)

To all the Mummy's out there, I hope you all had a wonderful Mother's day filled with lots of kisses and cuddles.

Take care

Card creations..just a couple.

Hi everyone.

Thank you so much for stopping by my part of cyber space today.

I thought I would post a few little cards that I have made lately, but forgotten to share (sorry).

This first one was a card I made using Copics and acetate.

The full instructions on how I made it can be found here on the Lime Tart blog.

This second card uses the very sweet Bird Swing stamp from Whimsy Stamps.

Here is another Whimsy stamp called Wee Snippet.

Finally a card that I made a while ago using the Kraftin' Kimmie Stamp Krista

I think I am almost up to date with sharing my cards.   There may be a few more yet though :)

I hope you are having a fabulous day.

Chat soon.

Cheery Lynn Applique

It was my turn to do a step by step post for the Lime Tart blog this weekend.

I didn't have to look far for an idea, because my Cheery Lynn dies were on my desk.

I decided to try my hand at applique using the Judy's Blooms die.

I appliqued the fabric pieces directly onto my card.

Not being able to stop there, I then went on jazz up a couple of my girls singlets with various other dies.

If you would like to see the steps to how I created these projects, head over to the Lime Tart Blog for the full instructions.

While you are over at Lime Tart be sure to check out the April Gallery.  What the girls did with their kits this month was amazing.  

Thanks for stopping by today. 

I will be back again really soon.

January Gallery Reveal!

The January Lime Tart gallery is up and available for viewing.

As always the projects and layouts from Kerryn and Colleen are gorgeous, so make sure you stop by and have a look.

Scrappy 2012 Calendar (tutorial found here)

We are hoping to be moved into our new house by the end of this week.  So once I am settled and back in the swing of things, I am sure I will scrap up a storm. So stay tuned!

Thank you so much for stopping by.

Happy New Year!!!

Happy New Year!!

Have you made any resolutions?  I decided this year to give the resolutions a miss and just be happy in what I do achieve throughout the year.

I would like to say I will be a better blogger again, but we are in the process of moving house, so that probably won't occur until next month.

What I can do is start the New Year off by showing you the gorgeous January kits that are now available for purchase from Lime Tart.

Full Tart

Half Tart

A la Tarte

There are also some gorgeous Gourmet Tarts available, here is just one of them.

These are all stunning kits to ring in the New Year.

I hope your New Year is everything you want it to be.

I will be back soon.

Time for an update!

Hi everyone

Sorry for being a very, very bad blogger.

I have had so many things going on in the background and life can just get a little bit hectic.  

So sadly my poor little blog has been very neglected, but I am back today to update it.

Yay!!

Let's start by showing you this months kits over at Lime Tart.

Full Tart

A la Tarte

The Half Tart has already sold out, but there will be a new one soon with December just around the corner.

I had a play with the A la Tarte this month.

Here are a couple of my projects.

To see all of my projects and the rest of the teams outstanding work, be sure to head over to the Lime Tart Gallery to check them all out.

Thanks so much for stopping by today.

I will be back soon.

Lime Tart October Gallery

Hi everyone.

The Lime Tart October Gallery is now up and available for your viewing pleasure.

I had a break from kits this month so I don't have a great deal to share with you unfortunately. 

I can show you this card which I made with papers from the A la Tarte and the ching-chou kuik stamp, Dream of Dahlia  from Sweet Pea Stamps.

So if you are in need of inspiration, have a look at what the rest of team created with their kits this month.  The October Gallery is full of beautiful creations.  

I hope you have had a most fabulous week.
