Good Afternoon All,

Well this post has taken me about 3 hours to finish now, lol, thought I might scroll back up and add that to begin with….  And my explanation…. 3 girls, haha.

Well it’s funny but as much as the colours from Paper Romance Challenge are not my style, I loved using them and so when I was thinking last night what to do next………….?  I thought of Hansel in those colours and for the first time ever I made an circle easel card, thank you Pink Lady, Debbie Pamment *link in sidebar* and her easy to follow tutorial!  So Hansel as you know is playing along with Paper Romance Challenge of Chocolate, White and Teal.  He’s been picking flowers to play along with Stamp Something and their challenge this week is Flowery and with Hansel and his bunch of flowers and the webster bloom I think I covered it, which means I also covered Create 4 Fun and their challenge this week is Flowers…..  So here is my card….

Stamps : Hansel from The Stamping Bazaar and Sentiment from All That Scraps.

Papers : Kraft, Cocoa Cardstock, Prima, Websters and October Afternoon…

Other : Websters Bloom Flower, Cream Lace, Ribbon, Magnolia Vintage Tag and Tilda Lace Doohickey’s, Martha Stewart Butterflies Punch and Brown Ribbon.

So there you have it my very first circle easel card and I can see many more coming it was FUN, simple and easy to make but so effective!  Smaller space to and so great for that little quick card, although there ain’t nothing quick about this lol, still took me a good hour or more.

WELL you might had noticed another blog change!  Poor Heather she is absolutely amazing and when I seen all the new headers she was pumping out and they have like a whimsical look and I LOVED my old header and when I asked, just asking Heather, but ummm if I were to say etc etc she came back with this response and I am in LOVE all over again WOW, and THANK YOU again Heather!  That’s not all you’ll be seeing from her

Well I best get all the uniforms ready for tomorrow and what not, bit of a lazy Sunday happening here and hubby just got home so girls are all over him, hehe Daddy’s girls for sure!

Good Morning,

I will be back soon with a card, but for now I wanted to share something with you.  Some of my Pink Ladies have started their own little stores and as some of you may know they call me Boss Lady hehe or Waffles what ever comes first, hence my title.

The crafty and talented Fran makes the most gorgeous headbands and I know because I have one WHOO HOO, as soon as she opened her store I went in and snaffled one up…. She is currently SOLD out whoo hoo, but check out the site HERE and bookmark it for when she adds more… They look a bit like this *Taken from Fran’s site*

And then the gorgeous Kylie Brown aka Kylie Crossley makes the most gorgeous charms!  For wine glasses, you know when you go to a function, b’day, Christmas etc you all have the same wine glass and forget whom had which well these are a gorgeous way of knowing which is yours by adding a touch of Bling!  And then she has gorgeous bag charms and sooooo much more, check it all out HERE…..

Hello there,

Before I start I just wanted to thank everyone that has been helping me out with looking for a desk carousel.  You have all been amazing and I am blown away by how many of you would go out of your way to check your local stores for me!  THANK YOU!  We unfortunately don’t have a Micheal’s here in Australia, but by looks of it BOY I wish we did!

Well the girls are all dressed in their daggy baggy clothes ready to go out with their dad to the farm and run a muck and see their Nanna.  Which will then equal quite, dvd and crafting me time, whoo hoo, has been a few weeks since I have had that.

So last night I was blog hoping and the night before as well and came across some amazing first time challenges and then some of the regular challenges I LOVE to join in with.  I am playing along with Cupcake Craft Challenges and their challenge this week is …. Cats and Dogs….  And this little puppy is perfect and will fit right in over there.  Then I am joining for the first time Paper Romance Challenges and their challenge is Chocolate, White and Teal….  Boy did I struggle a little with the colour teal, just never seem to have any of it when I need it?!  Also playing along with Sasya’s Sketch, I will admit I did change it a little as I could not get it to work the way I wanted it to in my mind so switched and added a few things here and there, lol not surprised!  Here is the gorgeous sketch….

And here is my card using the sketch as guide hehe….

Stamps : Digital Puppy with Kit from All That Scraps and Love sentiment from Unity.

Papers :Prima, Webster, Cocoa Cardstock and Kraft Cardstock.

Distress Inks :Brushed Cordury, Frayed Burlap, Antique Linen and Vintage Photo.

Well I was going for a plain but effective card but just kept adding more and more, hahaha.  Well best go as kiddies will be going soon and I want to dive head first into my crafting have a few cards planned and lots of DT work to get ahead of.

OH and also a little bit of a toot toot, hehe I was so excited to see I got top 3 over at Paper Sundaes Challenges with my Hansel card, WHOO HOO….

And have spent way to much of my day googling trying to find just one.  But thought maybe, just maybe  someone might know a of hidden place I am missing that has them online?  I have someone that has offered to check their local craft store for me, but if you know of some place online I would appreciate so much and then some more!  It look like this……

Good Afternoon All,

Well what miserable weather we are having here down under.  I speak with many people world wide and a lot of them are under the impression that we are hot and dry all the time, maybe in the Northern Territory, but here in Victoria we can have 4 seasons in one week, hehe and at the moment that is dull, raining and cold!  And as you could imagine NOT the best photo taking weather!

So I got my gorgeous digi that I won from Marina over at The Stamping Bazaar and I just had to print him up and have a play!  AND ok YES this has more cardboard box on it lol, but I love the effect AND it’s a great way to hide all those parcels that come in with new crafting goodie hehe!  Mind you I have a few boxes to go, haha, even after our clean up!  So I seen the challenge over at Cute Card Thursday of course last Thursday and went mmmmm in the too hard basket, but then when I got Hansel this morning I thought PERFECT, the challenge is ……

• School’s Out for Summer…..

And doesn’t he just look like the cute little boy giving his teacher some flowers before his holidays start?  Here is what I came up with…..

Stamp : Hansel : The Stamping Bazaar HERE…

Papers : Kraft Cardstock, Brown Cardstock, Cardboard Box and October Afternoon.

Distress Inks: Antique Linen, Brushed Cordury, Frayed Burlap, Walnut Stain, Faded Jeans, Broken China, Weather Wood, Aged Mahogany, Spun Sugar and Worn Lipstick.

How cute to boot is he!

Now time for What’s on your Work Desk Wednesday.  I took this quickly while I was krafting away this morning.  I did take a photo last week and I had a Kira or Mini Me on my desk crafting away lol while I folded clothes but never got around to posting it.  Here is what’s on my desk today…..

I actually cleaned it last night lol, guess you can’t overly tell!?

I was going to make a card last night, stamped image then stared at it for a good 20 min before deciding it was not going to happen and so caught up on emails and blog comments.  Then today I tried and tried to turn the vacuum cleaner on thinking it was broken about to put it away I realised I really need to plug it in to work hey?!  Then I put the coffee in the fridge and when I was crafting I was looking all over the mess for my distresser and after a good 10 min of looking it was right in front of me, mmmmmm hehe early night needed I think!

Thanks so much for stopping by and take care….

Good Afternoon,

After I seen Kristy’s amazing card using this sketch I knew it was so me and I so had to join in.  I made this last night and waited most of the day for you know that right photo daylight and it NEVER came, brrrrr cold here down under that’s for sure.  I had to pick mini me up from school about 1.30pm for not feeling well, funny hows she’s fine now she’s home and snuggled up in my bed watching DVDs….

ANY WAYS off the beaten track there, sorry waffles…..

So I coloured up my new stamp and they are here and ready to be posted over at Tickled Pink Stamps on the 15th July 2010.  OK so the challenge over at Craftalicious Challenges is…..CUTE, well she certainly fits into that!  Here is the sketch from The Sweet Stop Sketch Challenge Blog…..
