Card making.

A sweet card for a sweet little girl.

Weekend Get-Away.

Had a beautiful 4 day get-away with my hubby, at the gorgeous Rainbow Beach. We did lots of swimming at the beach, ate some great food, and just enjoyed the amazing views from our beach front apartment. Sunday was spent with the  brethren at Maryborough. Can't wait to go back and maybe next time we will skip over to Faser Island for the day. Back to reality now.

Junk journaling.

Here's a spread I did with craft catalog cut outs. It's nice and bright. I am still learning how to be brave with colour though. I'm off to a lovely ladies 21 st birthday this afternoon. It's a balmy 34 degrees Celcius today, not the ideal weather for cake decorating! 

Thankfully I decorated the cake early and managed to keep it from melting before the party!!

I hope she likes it.

More mixed media fun.

Had a lovely morning with my friend Lara, putting our new techniques into practice.

It was good fun to work along side someone to give me an extra kick along, and to encourage each other. Also her new set of big brush markers were to die for. This canvas is for a nursery. Below is the new version. I've brightened it up and added a little bow. Looks better??

My world.

Here is a picture of some beautiful birds that grace the skies where I live. They are as noisy as they are colourful, and like to wake you up at dawn with their squawking. I have had both birds as pets at various times in my life, both can be taught to talk and whistle tunes. My Nana had a galah when I was little that had the run of the house, what a larrikin it was. In fact in Australia we call a guy who's out of line a galah! I have submitted it to Conny's Mix-it-Monthly.

Our beloved Chester

This is my entry to Conny's art challenge, Mix it Monthly. We had to paint our pet. I have done mine in pencils, as I wanted to see if I could get the effect of fur.

Doing this picture, has made us all remember how much we miss our little man who left us in November.
