Australia Flood appeal

Living here in Brisbane it's hard to see how the floods have affected everyone. We were very blessed not to be affected, and my heart goes out to all those who have.

Please join me in supporting the Australia Flood Appeal. Stampin' Up! will donate $2 AUD for the retail value from any stamp set (with a retail value of $30 or more) sold in Australia and New Zealand from 15 January through 15 February to the State emergency services Queensland.

In addition as an Independent Stampin' Up! demonstrator I will donate 10% of all retail sales.

Happy New Year

Happy New Year! I hope you all enjoyed your Christmas festivities and holidays. I know I did. I especially valued the gift of hope, joy and peace, knowing Jesus came to give me life. Life after breast cancer and for eternity. I have amazing testimony to His healing!



I have uploaded a few of my cards from 2010. I love to share my work and welcome anyone who would like to join me. In 2011, I hope to have some more time to create and share more frequently. My "baby" Daniel starts Prep, so we are entering a whole new era.



A Kind word, Sprinkles, Tres Chic, and Polkadots and Paisley. I enjoyed practicing blending with markers on this beautiful image.

Vintage Vogue, Pocket Silhouettes, Occasional greetings. White embossing powder, Cuttlebug leafy branch embossing folder.

Butterfly prints, Elegant lines embossing folder, Beautiful wings embosslits, Frost white shimmer paint and Rose Red reinker. The velum butterflys had pearls coloured with the reinker as well.

Elements of style, Beautiful wings emboslits, elegant bouquet, Distressing Essentials Kit. Champagne Mist shimmer paint. This was my first play with the new products and I was so happy how it turned out. It is my favourite.

Elements of Style, Artistic etchings, Beautiful Butterflies, Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint in a spritzer. Doesn't it create a beautiful shimmer!

Artistic etchings, Punch Potpourri, Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder, Antique brads. I love the new satin ribbon!

Dasher, Tiny tags, Jewlery tag medium punch, Scallop trim border punch, Vintage wallpaper embossing folder, clear embossing powder. Swiping the dry emboss images gives such great texture!

Welcome Christmas, became one of my favourites this Christmas. So easy to make georgeous cards.

National Thanksgiving day morning tea

Sorry it has been so long since blogging. What a journey the last year has been. I have not been demonstrating but still had a chance to catch up with some of you. Thankyou for your prayers and support during this difficult time in my life.

National Thanksgiving day 29th May, seemed the perfect time to celebrate and give thanks for everyones support and answers to prayer. I'm just had my last chemotherepy dose and am celebrating! Please join me for a morning tea, at 9.30 at the Caboolture Baptist Church hall.

I've enjoyed playing with the new Vintage Vogue set which now comes unmounted! This is a quick card also using the beautiful Cottage Wall DS paper, in the new Autumn-winter mini catalogue. I'll try to add some of the cards I've make over the last 8 months on the sharing cards link soon. God bless, Jo
