Australia Day!!!... Sweet Sunday Sketch #253

Happy Sunday!!! I hope you've had a wonderful weekend and all my fellow Aussies... HAPPY Australia Day {long weekend!!}

 Here's my card for this weeks Sweet Sunday Sketch:-


 And here is the sketch for you to play along with:-


Bearing in mind that tomorrow (Monday) is Australia Day!!! I've gone all out Aussie for today's sketch.... I attempted to go Green and Gold... but Green and Gold are NOT my go to card making colours and I can assure you NO ONE needed to see what eventuated from those colours!!... So I decided to go with the Aussie Flag colours instead... much more pleasing to the eye ;-)

 I've used Night of Navy, Cherry Cobbler and some Silver Glimmer Paper. The stamp set is Starburst Sayings and I've added a little wooden embellishment and just written 'Australia' on that.

 I'll be enjoying myself of a HUGE slip and slide tomorrow with some GORGEOUS friends... I hope you all have a wonderful day!!! Happy Australia Day ( for tomorrow!)

 The rest of the Sweet Sunday Stampers have much more for you to see this week - please stop over and see:

Sweet Sunday Sketch #252

Happy Sunday!!... It's time for another Sweet Sunday Sketch challenge. All the deets are over on Karen's blog, so do jump on over and join in on the fun!

 Here is my card for this week:-

And here is the sketch for you to play along with:-

I've gone SIMPLE, SIMPLE this week, and to be honest... I don't really like it!. NOPE... I'm not loving this card, so much so, I contemplated not posting it and starting again... which I'll quite likely do!.

 I used one of the sentiments from the NEW Hello You Thinlets... which I do LOVE!! I used Strawberry Slush for that (LOVE Strawberry Slush too!). I added some Sahara Sand DSP and a spash of Blackberry Bliss for the little banner. I added a little Vintage Button with some linen thread at the top and some Rhinestones for some sparkle... LOTS of things I LOVE, however, they just didn't mix together the way I hoped... perhaps I needed some extra layers! ;-)

 Anyhoo...  The rest of the Sweet Sunday Stampers have much more for you to see this week - please stop over and see:

Sweet Sunday Sketch #251

Happy Sunday!!! Oh, and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and New Year. My beautiful family and I have just returned from a little holiday getaway, which was SO much fun and very relaxing.

 I'm back into it now, although feeling VERY rusty!!!. I haven't stamped or crafted in about a month, so please, be gently on me today!

 Here is my card for today:-

And here is the sketch for you to play along with:-

I've gone for my SAFE colours today... Crisp Cantaloupe, Naturals Ivory and Soft Suede... a combination that never seems to fail. I decided to FINALLY ink up my Choose Happiness stamp set today and combined it with another favourite, Kinda Eclectic, with a few splotches of Gorgeous Grunge. The colours I used for stamping were, Pistachio Pudding, Crisp Cantaloupe and Soft Suede. I've added some other staples, Burlap Ribbon, Vintage Lace, Crumb Cake seam binding and some bling!

The rest of the Sweet Sunday Stampers have much more for you to see this week - please stop over and see:
To finish off, I thought I'd share a quick pic of my BEAUTIFUL family... we take a family shot every year (although we were a little late last year, so it ended up being a New Year shot... shhhh), usually in the same kind of pose, so we can see how much we've changed over the past year... well mainly how much the girls have changed...!

Sooo.... Happiest of NEW YEARS to your families from mine!!!

Thanks for much for stopping by.
