MIA

Well I guess it's fair to say I'm not totally organised. My apologies for the past... what 3 months? that I have been MIA from this blog... I hope to have things under control in the next week or so and have some new creations posted for your viewing pleasure.
Thank-you for your patience.
Ciao

... and the rest.

This is Card number 1. for the day the layout is based on a card I saw on Splitcoast to see the original click on the link http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/1353028?cat=5125

I used Whisper White & Soft sky cardstock; Groovy Guava, Soft Sky, Blue Bayou & Purely Pomegranate inks; Groovy Guava Dbl-stitched ribbon; Stampsets used were Frames with a flourish, Cheer & Wishes & Heartfelt Thanks.


This was Card number 3. Ideas were a little light on the ground by now so just had a bit of a stamparound and see what happened.
For this card I used Whisper White & Groovy Guava cardstock; Gold cord, Eyelet border punch, SU watercolour pencils & blender pen; Inks used were Chocolate chip, Groovy Guava & Sky Blue. Stampsets used were Spring Solitude & On your Birthday.



Card number 2 kinda happened by accident. Although I'm happy with the outcome it certainly wasn't what I had originally planned.

This card uses Whisper White, Chocolate Chip & Kiwi Kiss cardstock as well as DS Bella Rose Paper. Ink used Pink Pirouette, Riding Hood Red & Kiwi Kiss; Stampsets used On your Birthday, Spring Solitude & frames with a flourish. Accents used Chocolate Chip wide grosgrain ribbon, metal edge tag and paper piercing.

Where to begin?

I've been unwell for the past week or so, and my kindly doctor (who I saw on Monday) thought it best for me to take a few days off work and rest. So that's what I've been doing for the last three days... Sitting in bed, dozing off every now and again. When I finally woke up this morning I felt quite a bit better and decided I was up to sitting in the lounge room for a little while. After getting bored surfing the net I thought hmmm.. I reckon I could maybe manage a little stampin'

So with out further ado here are my creations for today: Card number 4. Inspired by a design I saw on Splitcoast to see the original click on the link http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/1349063?cat=5125



For this card I used; Whisper White & Blue Bayou Cardstock, DS paper Afternoon Tea from the AU Summer mini 08; Stampsets used were Frames with a Flourish & On your Birthday; Ink used was Wild Wasabi & Blue Bayou; Earth Element brads in Not quite Navy.

Finally....!

Well it's taken me a little while but I've finally managed to find the time, and the camera (thanks Jamey!) to upload some of the cards and stuff I've been working on. Not all items are 'Marie' creations, I have quite a few points of reference for ideas and I will attempt to acknowledge them wherever possible. Please if I have used your idea and forgotten to acknowledge you I am sincerely sorry as it was not intentional (just a fuzzy head) and will rectify it immediately should you notify. Now on with the show...
