Paschar my Rottweiler!!!

Hey everyone

I just wanted to share some pictures of my gorgeous furbaby Paschar (pronounced like Marsha but with a P) Pasch is a purebred Rottweiler and her kennel name is Nightsail Calais Paschar (sounds kinda whymsical doesnt it!). You may remember her from this POST when she was 8 weeks old! Well she is 12 months old this month and she is absolutely huge but equally gorgeous! She weighs around 36 kg and is one huge sook!

Out in the backyard!
 Looking up at me!

and with Pete my Husband!


Pasch keeps me company when my husband is away up north for work and loves nothing better than being by my side where ever I go she even sits in front of the toilet door waiting for me! Paschar has got such a lovely nature and everyone that meets her falls in love with her! I would have to say that The Rottweiler is my favourite breed and I am one lucky girl to be owned by such a noble and beautiful breed!

Bye for now!

Mothers Day Easel Card!

Im in love with Easel Cards at the moment I think they are just a gorgeous idea. So easy to make and a versatile card that doubles as a gift because it is not only given but will be proudly displayed by the receiver!

I made this particular one (the first one I ever made in fact) for my dear Mother in Law for Mothers Day last May.


and here is a close up of the side...


The colours I have used are Melon Mambo, Pink Pirouette, Elegant Eggplant, Old Olive, Whisper White and Kraft. The Stampset is one of my all time favourites which is sadly retired the beautiful Bodacious Bouquet and I used Occasional Greetings for the sentiment. Of course I also used Dazzling Diamonds Glitter to add a bit of sparkle!

Enjoy!!!

Medallion Progressive Scrapbooking

Remember the scrapbooking page from this Recent Post well I decided to turn it into Progressive Scrapbooking and I think it worked out pretty well. I even demonstrated it at a workshop and it was soooo simple to do! So here is my A4 scrapbooking page...

As you can see Ive put the medallions on the other side and used slightly different hodgepodge hardware.

Then I created a 6x6 scrapbooking page. I love scrapping in this size you can not only use it for general scrapbooking like brag books and such but often they look stunning actually put into a square frame.

 

Last but certainly not least is this gorgeous card. I just love this Medallion Stamp to death!!!

12x12 Medallion Scrapbooking Page

Hi there all

I have a new favourite Stamp - MEDALLION!!! I am absolutely in love with this background stamp. I created this page to show off this fab new stamp!

I chose to use Kraft 12x12 cardstock, Chocolate Chip and Tempting Turquoise cardstocks dont those colours just look delicious together! I decided to use chocolate chip ink and threw in a bit of silver hodgepodge and chocolate chip ribbon! and of course that beautiful Medallion Background and Warm Words stampset. 

I love using black and white photos they just go with everything and look great. The picture was taken on my wedding day with my gorgeous bridesmaids Lizz, Danni & Amy. Ahhh almost 3 years ago gosh time flys!!!

Enjoy!

Circle Circus

Hello There

Just thought Id pop on and show you this card I made for my newsletter a couple of months ago and was such a tiny picture I dont think it did it justice... Ithink this was for a colour challenge... Kiwi Kiss, Chocolate Chip and Tempting Turquoise.


I remember having so much fun creating this card doing all the different layers with the circles and scallops and I think the colours just look stunning together. I really like the Circle Circus stampset aswell which I must confess I dont use as much as I should because its beautiful.

Supplies I used for this card is...

Chocolate Chip, Tempting Turquoise and Whisper White Cardstock
Chocolate Chip, Tempting Turquoise and Kiwi Kiss Inks
Stampsets are Stem Sayings and Circle Circus
Kiwi Kiss Vanilla Satin ribbon
Rhinestone Brads
Scallop circle, 1 and a quarter" and 3 quarter" punches
