Thank you for taking time to visit, and I hope I am even a tiny bit helpful as I have been helped and blessed by so many others. I have been doing Calligraphy since teens, and card making for many years as well. In 1990 I delighted in the joys of stamping with ink and embossing after a trip to Cairns, Qld. In 2009 I discovered the brayer, 2010 the Cuttlebug, also have now taking to reading up on crafting blogs and lo! Here I am, on one of my own.

I live on the coast of eastern Australia. I am a Christian. I trusted in the LORD down here at the beach, amazingly it is not far from where I now live. It was over 50 years ago, after a Beach Mission Service at the age of 12 years

Snippets + Tim Holtz Mixed Media Swirls Die - Two Ways

Hi there everyone. Have just made two more cards for birthdays or thinking of you cards, going to share how snippets make great cards. Was going to be quick card but in my usual way I’ve complicated it a tad.
First card was this one, it’s with left overs paper-pieced from card 2. Yes it was tedious I did an impression on white card so then like jigsaw just had to work out shape, had DST on back which helped. 
And yes, I lost one teeny bit which I did a cheats job on and recut it. The greeting Die is CCD and double layers. The lovely rose Kaisercraft pad was a bargain buy after Christmas sales, finally used! Greeting stamp Gold EP is by Sweet Sassy “Wait on the LORD” clear set, disc. But may find one like I did, was my birthday pressie to myself in Feb 😊 also available as digi I think. 
Added to this three little punched butterflies from more snippets. All card practically is snippets so off to the Snippets playground, yay! 
Next card uses negative of die cut and the same greetings but different feel. The regal gold braid is stick-on courtesy of Shaz Silverwolf in 2016. Not much left now. Repeated Gold EP stamp on white snippet, gold snippets for double mount too.
Close up of detail.
The Aussie shots from earlier in year, a lovely sunset this evening was walking. It's cooler here now and sister at Hall's Gap drove through snow yest. It’s much warmer here, but still cool for us. 
Well that’s it for today. Praying every blessing upon you in your day, and thanks for coming over and especially thanks if you have time to say hi.
Hugs Shaz in Oz.x 
Thoughts for the day. 
Going to share two quotes ... love them both. The first reflects the command the LORD gives us:
 “In everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.” 
Giving thanks comes from a grateful heart. 

I’d like to join up with the following:
1. Butterfly Challenge F is for FLAP FOLD... not used ..but I did use French Rose, Flax, Firebrick red and Flowers with Butterflies
3. Word Art Wednesday - Anything Goes
http://sirstampalotchallenge.blogspot.com/2019/05/may-in-english-country-garden.html  English country garden theme on both cards.
5. Add something metallic. Gold EP on stamped greeting on both cards.. gold braid on second card.

Scrappy Mo's Christmas (Rudolph Day) Challenge - Paper Piecing

Well, the weeks are flying by let alone the months! Here it is time for another challenge over at Scrappy Mo's, HERE!
I have been honoured to be a Guest DT member for this month! so this time I did a CASE of Card by Di of Snippets Playground. It was some paper piecing with a Woodware stamp, which I won in the playground, years back now .. see Miss' card over here!
At the time, Miss also kindly sent me a sheet each of the gorgeous LOTV paper that she had used on her card.. how generous is that? So thought I'd better do some of these this year.
Paper Piecing is tedious .. you need to be in the mood. I was thankfully! so stamped with Black Onyx Versafine and embossed two lots of four card backs, then four lots of blue paper and four lots of kraft shade paper. As only had one sheet of each, scanned some for the backing sheets and printed them out. Like the kraft best, as they are 5 x 7' cards, the blue are A2 and a tad small for the stamp I think. The embossed images look heaps better in real life .. not as good in photo. Used some pearls on snowflakes.


That's it for today!
Thanks so much for popping over for peek and chat.. you are really appreciated!

May God richly bless your day wherever you may be!
