Crafting for all Seasons #69 "For the Girls"

Good morning all.
Woke up on Monday morning to a text from Gary to say they'd had an earthquake in Wellington about 6.2/3 magnitude...he was well chuffed with himself!! Luckily there was little damage done. He's now on South Island staying in Blenheim and looking for some casual work!

I've just lost three days reminiscing with people who grew up in the same area as me. Someone set up a Facebook page at the weekend and everyone has been adding old photos and happy memories...fabulous to see and read. Also found two old friends who I hadn't heard of for years and both are living in New Zealand!

Today it's time for our second challenge of 2014 at CFAS and this time the theme is "For the Girls". We're  looking forward to seeing all your makes. We're being sponsored by Lacy Sunshine who gave the DT images to work with.


I choose Raining Frogs which I coloured with promarkers. Dies from Spellbinders. Paper and banner are from Kaisercraft and were a magazine freebie. Hessian is a recent buy...though I can't remember where from!! Ribbon and fibres are from Inkylicious and sentiment is from my stash. Hearts were punch waste.


Do pop over to the challenge blog to see the rest of the girls inspiration, you won't be disappointed.

Sweet Sixteen

Good morning all.

Well my little girl is 16 today, I can't believe it...don't know how it happened this quickly!! Unfortunately she's still a tomboy...no interest in clothes, make up, jewellery or hairstyles...so incredibly difficult to buy for...and make cards for!

This is the card I made her, fairly unfussy and not too girly!


The image is one I won recently from Lacy Sunshine, coloured with promarkers. Banner die from Joanna Sheen, all other dies from Spellbinders. Embossing folder from Die'sire, a freebie during Crafter's Companion's birthday week. The narrow silk ribbons are from Crafty Ribbons and tied using a fork. In retrospect I wish I'd used a green mat under the purple one but hey ho Lora won't notice!!
Love this new fancy square die set I bought recently, think it will be getting used a lot.


She's off to the pictures later with a friend (and her Dad) for her birthday treat so I should get a peaceful few hours.
