Aussie Stampers cyber challenge

Aussie Stampers had a cyber challenge on Saturday night with some very intersting challenges to make before Monday.

The first was an Easter card. I kept mine simple as you can see. The 2nd was create a project with an European feel. So I challenge myself and instead of doing my comfort pillow "Paris", I went with the Neatherlands. To be totally honest, I really dont know if it looks like the Neatherlands, however I had fun playing. And lastly was embossing either wet or dry. I had to go wet because Saturday morning I dropped off all my cuttlebug embossing gear at mum's for her to play with. So I embossed my Zetty wings with gold embossing powder, and stamped a beautiful face stamp onto vintage paper, placed it on a bottle top, that fitted perfectly into the metal frame, then used oodles of ultra thick embossing powder to make it look like it was behind glass.

As you can see I had fun playing over the weekend, and the Eurpeon ATC was using the wonferful new Mad Jak stamps.

Challenge junkie

I think I have become a bit of a challenge junkie. It seems thats all I blog about, and its the only thing that is getting me to be creative at the moment. Yet there are so many other challenges that I want to do, but there just isnt enough hours in a day to do them all. So here is my ATC for this weeks theme over at Blue Bazaar; theme is "Winter." Look Jen I even attempted a wire birds nest. No where as good as yours though. LOL!!!

Inchies challenge

This weeks theme at http://inchingartists.blogspot.com/ was "Height" or "Vintage Ad". Not easy coming with something for height on just an inch square. Vintage ad was alot easier. In fact I found it hard chosing which ad to pick.

Weekend away at the Otways

We spent the weekend away down at Apollo Bay for Barry to participate in the "Otway Odyssey." He rode 10okm up and down moutains in the Otways, through knee high mud, rain and a few bursts of sunshine. He came in just under the 10 hour mark. 10 hours of riding, not for the faint hearted.

Imogen and I went sightseeing down to the Cape Otway lighthouse, we climbed the light house, and Imogen braved 40 knot winds walking right around it, I managed to get 3/4 around but got the old jelly knees going and went back. Yep I know I was 3/4 around, and went back when I could have just gone forward a little more. The pic of the beach is from our balcony where we stayed. It was beautiful waking up to that view.

Off to create.
