It's lovely to get some happy mail amongst the bills and advertising material. When I opened each of these little beauties they certainly brought a smile to my face. A big thanks goes out to all the 'senders'. XX
How sweet ... and how thoughtful ... AND ... how well deserved, Bronwyn! It's always lovely to get happy mail. Hugs xxaxx PS I am still having computer probs ... after a major crash! Access to the internet is frustrating me ... even though my dh has solved the main probs. Off to scroll through what I have missed over the last few days ... but with so much to catch up on ...

Photo Wallet and Butterfly Easel Card The Colour Combo for Just Add Ink's 57th Challenge Butterfly Easel Card I designed a butterfly easel card for my latest project at UStamp with Dawn and Friends using the Punch Bunch Stamp Set . For this challenge I popped the little butterfly from the Bliss Set , added some pearls and stamped the gorgeous flourish from the same SAB stamp set to form the background pattern for both die cut butterflies. I also sponged around the edges with River Rock Ink. PS: Thanks again to Nancy Riley for choosing this card as one of her iPicks for this week!

Here are some holiday snaps of our recent trip to North Queensland. As you can gather there's been no time for card making but some serious first attempts at scrapbooking some of these memories may be something I'll do in the not too distant future! The Beautiful Daintree National Park A Private Swimming Hole in the Daintree National Park A Lace Monitor looking for a picnic lunch Where the Forest Meets the Sea Lizzie the Croc Cape Tribulation Mossman Gorge Port Douglas Four Mile Beach from Flagstaff Hill, Port Douglas It certainly is a beautiful part of Australia ... but it is good to be back home in Tassie even though it's 20 degrees cooler!! I hope to dust off the stamps and ink soon and come back down to Earth. There's been some great Stampin' Up! Specials while I've been away and will post the details when I get the chance. Cheers, Bron X

I tweaked the basic design a little by adding some inserts; the ones you use in card-in-a-box style cards. So I've called my take on this fun fold, a Pop-Up, Z-Fold, Card in a Box! - It's a crate full of summer strawberries with some home-made strawberry jam sitting on the kitchen bench. Summer Strawberries This card was made for a dear friend's birthday and I'm also entering it into two card challenges - JAI #318 - "Just Add S" S is for ... strawberries, strawberry jam, straw and summer! Thanks, JAI! and ... JUGs #350 - Word Week Here's a bird's eye view before I added all the stamped strawberries etc. - Folds flat and fits inside a standard (C6) card size envelope - Thanks for stopping by, Please note that...
