Would you give this to a boy?

Hi there,
i have just finished making two cards and one i wanted to do in boy colours, i was quite pleased with myself and walked out to show Andrew (dh) and he said "you cant give that card to a male its got a cake on it". humph##** so what do you reckon?

Could i give this to a boy or not?
Here is another one in different colours that i am entering into a challenge at Meredith Scraps.

Now i don't do new year resolutions but this is one thing i will be working on next starting Saturday, will ya just take a look at my craft room.

My desk. OMG what a MESS.

Next to my desk. OMG what a mess.

Now this corner is real BAD.

and my computer desk, bad as well. I consider myself a tidy person with everything in its own place, well judging by this mess you all wont agree, so i am off to Ikea on Saturday to buy some units or something.

Ok, have to go pick up Joe now who has been working in a hot kitchen for the last nine hours. He has met just about all of the tennis players playing in the Hopman cup including Andy Roddick and Leyton Hewitt and a couple of weeks ago he met Shane Warne and the man himself James Packer. Gees if only Pierce Brosnan came and stayed at the Burswood i would have to hang out in the kitchens with Joe.

Night all

This and that

Hi there, how are you all?
I have a couple of things to show and tell.
 Scrappy Go Lucky are having a new challenge on Wednesdays called Whip It Up Wednesday and the theme this week was to colour a cricut image. I can tell you now that i have never thought to colour an image that i cut out so i had a great time looking through carts and deciding what to cut and how to colour. The stockings were coloured with Copics and some Distress Stickles.

The snowflakes were coloured with distress inks and then a quick spray of Glimmer Mist. Love how these turned out. I got this idea from the Hero Arts blog although they didn't use a cricut image. So there you go more great things you can do with the cricut.

Last night Andrew and i went out to dinner with our BF's without the children/young adults (who were disgusted that they weren't invited BTW) and i just had to make a little I Love You present for my friend so this is what i made.

Another little card set and one of my crocheted cleaning/dusting cloths. If you hadn't guessed already her favourite colour is PINK.

All presented in a cute bag because as you know it's all in the presentation.

Another of Caitlins BF's (she has two) is turning 18 at the end of the week so Caitlin asked me to make her an album so this is what i have done so far.

Didn't have to do much to the cover-add the ribbon, some pearls and a lovely stamped sentiment and of course ink the edges.

Inside the front cover is this pocket that i have inked the same way as i did the snowflakes on the very top photo. Love love love the way this turned out with the matching tag. The flower page is from my favourite October Afternoon-Fly A Kite collection and will have a photo attached to it. So with that in mind i had better go and work on the album as it has to be finished by next Saturday.

Have a great week everyone, thanks for stopping by.

Purple, Orange & Black

That's the colour challenge over at ICopic and as i want to get in some practise with my Copic markers i thought i would give it a go. As we don't celebrate Halloween over here i didn't use a Halloween greeting (could be the fact that i don't have one to use either) but who could resist this cute digital stamp that i purchased from here. It is so cute.

Of course my trusty cricut got a workout with the frame and the background paper is from Stampin Up.
I don't have a clue who i will give this card to but i think it's very cute.

I have been reading quite a few blogs lately and in most of the American blogs i have read, everyone goes on about their love for "Candy Corn". Can someone please tell me what it is and what the texture is like. Is it like the coloured popcorn here which is plain old popcorn coloured with food colouring or is it something far more yummier that we are missing out on?
