Tickled Pink Stamps Celebrity Guest DT Call….

Friday, September 3rd, 2010

Good Afternoon All,

Well I will be back soon with cards and more, but I just had to let you all know that Tickled Pink Stamps is looking for a celebrity guest for our new release of Lil Lolita Stamps coming SOON….  Want to know more?  OF course you do, jump on over HERE….. to read all the details.

Also I HAD to put word verification back on my blog.  I was getting NO lie 100-200 spam comments a DAY!  And I am thinking it was the cause of missing emails and sending some emails to spam a lot instead of my inbox.  It was causing all sorts of troubles and I now have over 3000 spam comments to delete and with my word press I can only delete 20 at a time, so long process!  I am so sorry as I know it can be annoying but since popping it back on, no spam, whoo hoo and emails are slowly running as normal, still some that get to spam instead of my inbox but should all be sorted soon.

Be back soon with The Stamping Bazaar and All That Scraps!

MIA…. Nancy…. And news over at The Stamping Bazaar

Tuesday, August 31st, 2010

Good afternoon Everyone,

Well I have been a bit MIA lately and this is due to us selling our house, well in the middle of selling it!  We found a house last week that is perfect for us, and best of all guess what………….It has a CRAFT ROOM WOOT WOOT…..  Was a winner in my eyes, hehe, but that’s not the only reason, it a perfect family home.  And so we have been doing a bit to this one we live in now to try and sell it asap.  All weekend we worked on it, even my bones were aching I think, hehe!  But we are all so excited, but a lot of work and what not still to come with re-painting etc.  Have already had 2 people come and look through so good signs!

Before I get onto my card I do have a little devastating news to share, well to me it is, Hubby rang me after our offer got approved as we had to start cleaning this one asap and he said ……………….he  said ……………… sniffs ……………. cries …………… blows nose loudly…………….that my craft area was clutter and I had to pack it all up ………………CRIES HARDER ……………… So I got one MASSIVE tub and anything I could fit in there I got to keep and will pop away when people come through the house.  But clutter pfft doesn’t know art in the making lol!  But I must admit since then I have the cleanest desk I have ever seen and get so much done but still manage to make it look like a bomb site in 5 min and can’t find a blood thing!

I did make this card the other week and was struggling so much with the idea in my head was just simpley NOT coming out and when in doubt…………….CASE, hehe so I did!  I cased my own card I made with a Lil Lolita and mixed it up a little, and I think Nancy is just the sweetest thing and you can get yours HERE…. Right NOW, she was released yesterday.

NancyI am in a race for time to start getting dinner ready so will pop the info on what I used later tonight…..

AND did you see….. you must had, you can’t miss her, look who’s coming to The Stamping Bazaar soon…

LouisaHer name is Louisa the Lioness.  Seriously HOW cute is she!  She reminds me a bit of my daughter Kira, in an animal way, is that making sense lol, causes she looks like a little girl just wanting to have fun and that is my Kira all over!

THERE is more about The Stamping Bazaar……. We are all SUPAH excited to be having our very first hop!  It starts on the 1st and there are 3 adorale new images and you have a chance to win, so be sure not to miss that!  Also coming soon a new Hansel stamp which I personally can not WAIT for this one as I just LOVE Hansel and he’s adorable face, and a brand new critter, another girl whoo hoo go girl power hehe and it’s a ……..KANGAROO, Aussie, Aussie, Aussie Oi, Oi, Oi, hehe!

So there you have it, some news to share.  I will be back soon with MORE….

In Memory of my Brother Shane….

Wednesday, August 25th, 2010

Good Afternoon,

Well as you know I love to talk and for the people that I have met or spoken with on the phone could confirm this as well.  But there are somethings in my life I find very hard to talk about and one in particular…….  Which is I have a brother, he passed away in a car accident just shy of his 18th birthday in 2003.  His name is Shane, and after having some what of a break down on his birthday last year I have since been able to have photos of him around the house and speak about him on the odd occasion, it’s not that I don’t want to, but the pain when I do, it just eats away at me.  Since cardmaking every year I have wanted to make a card for him for his birthday, but nothing really stood out and being as sensitive as it is I wanted to make something perfect.  See the thing about my brother is this…….

  • He was SO tall,
  • He was an amazing basketball player and played for the Jr. Melbourne Tigers and went to China because of it.
  • He had a laugh that you could only laugh at, so loud and he didn’t care.
  • He absolutely adored his niece *my daughter Kira* and would had done anything for her. 
  • All his clothing, EVEN his socks had to a brand name, nike, adidas etc…… Drove me MAD hehe, always having to have the best of everything, but he was a perfectionist in that ways and that is why I knew his card would have to be PERFECT or more so the perfect image.
  • He cared for his family more than ANY thing in the world.

When I asked Marina she was only too happy and I really can not thank her enough for this and what she has done for not only myself but for my family as well, that now claim they want me to make them one *rolls eyes*  THANK YOU so much Marina.

When I wanted to make this I had all these ideas.  Shane’s team were black, yellow and red…….soooooo not my colours to work with but I just KNEW they were the colours to use and then I hit a brick wall and I think it was because of this, always so hard to look outside your little comfort box you have around yourself and after trying and trying I decided a sketch was in order, I just could not help it, it wasn’t working.  So I used a sketch from Sweet Spot as they have amazing sketchers, and here is what I came up with…..

Shane

I have had that Tigers pom pom for I don’t know how long and the little wooden Micheal Jordon figure is out of wood and was given as some type of trophy when Shane was in China, one of his many his pride and joys.

Shane would had been 25 on the 30th September this year.  Not a day goes by where he’s not in my thoughts and I miss him dearly.  His basketball number was 8 and I was not meant to be due for another week and I had Heidi on the 8th of March 2006 and then Chloe was WAY to early and was born on the 8th of July 2007.  Both on the 8th and I think a certain someone had something to do with that.  Losing someone makes you question everything you have ever believed in, but you know what?  I have stopped and just relised that everything happens for a reason, why that reason is I truly have NO idea, but Shane was an organ donor and saved lives and while losing him doesn’t make that any easier, he would be so proud to know he helped save lives as he always loved to give and make someones day…..

You want to know what else?!  You have a chance to WIN him for yourself…. HERE….. I wasn’t going to have him as a give away, but I know he would had loved to think he made another persons day…..

Thank you for reading a bit about my brother…..
