Court On Stamps

Welcome

Welcome to my cyber space home:) I hope you enjoy browsing at my hand stamped creations and gain inspiration from them for your own creations. If you would like to purchase any of my creations please contact me via email - link is under my pic on side of blog. Please also be aware that I may not have the same patterned paper that is on the card you would like, but I will substitute another. If you are wanting any special orders I take those as well:) Thanks for visiting and hope to see you again soon. Courtney.

I'm back......with a duh moment would you believe!

Hi:) thanks for being patient with me - that's if you are still visiting my blog those few that do:) I have gotten through the last few nightmare weeks and come out the other side relatively unscathed. If someone had told me how scary it is having teenagers I don't think I would have had kids in the first place. Anyway onto more fun stuff. How dopey am I???? I just realised today when I couldn't get my camera program even set up on this new computer of ours that duh.....it takes a disc that I can copy pics onto it and then just pop the disc into my computer. So now I have fun to share....although don't get too excited as I have not made a single card since Mark left for the mines and I am dying to use my new Birthday papertrey sets, but literally can't yet. I have three cards to share, but I do hate how they have photographed, but since they have already been sent I can't do much about it. The first card I want to share is one I made for my dear mum ((((hugs mum)))) it was her b'day in Nov and I sat down and spent close to 3hrs (yes you heard right) on this little project:)

I love these yummy color's don't you?

Ribbon: from stash and just had to use it on Mum's card with this stamp set so spent an hour and a half in the scrapbook store trying to find matching patterned paper.LOL Yeah I'm not addicted am I;)

And although you can't see it, everything was misted over with my new addiction of "Glimmer mist" by Tattered Angels and this one was called "Antique Brass" and don't blame me if I have passed on the addiction as I avoided it for 6 months myself:)

 

This card was made quickly for Jacob's little school friend Chloe who invited him to her skating party. He had an absolute ball and I have taken him back since. Chloe is a gorgeous little girl who we have known since pre-primary and she is a very loud out going (in the best sort of way) girl who is so full of life you just would love to see her grow up and find out who she becomes:)

Sorry for the no posting.

Hi:) I must apologise for not posting. I have very good reasons why. I am having huge problems with my teenage son and I have been working and very busy otherwise. I am hoping to get some time tomorrow (Sunday 29th Nov) to sort out the camera program problem and upload the last couple of creations I have made. I have not touched my craft desk since hubby left for the mines, but I do have a card to share that I spent 3hrs on making (my mum's b'day). I hope you all understand and look forward to sharing with you soon. Thanks, Courtney.

Camera - computer problems!

Up Up and Away.

 
Goodmorning:) I picked up this stamp from spotlight a couple of weeks ago for around $2.00 it's an acrylic stamp and I normally will only buy acrylic from Papertrey Ink or October Afternoon as I have found most other brands (that I have tried) are a poor quality and won't pick up the inks that I own. This stamp is the same, but I had to have it as my hubby has Papertrey Inks stamp set button bits put away for my birthday and I am dying to use it as you can guess, so when I saw these balloons on this silhouette image (I love silhouettes) then I had to buy it regardless if it would pick up ink or not.LOL

Supplies

Stamp - Grace Taylor "Silhouette children and balloons" & Papertrey Ink "Birthday".

Cardstock - SU "Riding Hood Red", "Bashful Blue" & "Whisper White".

Patterned Paper - Daisy D's "Bowdoin Street Floral".

Buttons - SU "Riding Hood Red", others from my stash.

Ribbon - SU "Riding Hood Red" Satin

Tools - Nestabilities "Rectangle Scallop" & SU "Oval Punch".

TFL:)

hAllOweEn is hErE AlrEaDy?

 

 

Where has the week gone? I have been still fighting to get well again and it's taking it's toll. That's why my blog has been quiet this week. I am even late getting up the halloween lolly vials I made to hand out to the little monsters that knock at the door tonight:) We are going out to the baseball (can't wait) to see Perth Heat vs Team Usa tonight. So if the little monsters don't get here early there won't be anyone to answer the door.LOL So I have only prepared some and not gone overboard this year.

I stamped the tags with a Stampin' Up bat from best fiend set that's now retired. The witches shoe is from a clear halloween set from crafty stamps. I inked the edges in SU's gable green ink. The twine is from my stash (I think it was once a making memories twine from long ago) and the zig zag ribbon is also from stash I ordered from an online ribbon company in Australia (brand unknown).

The little vials I ordered online from the USA about two years ago and am slowly using them all up:) I will have to source something new when I run out of them.

Hope you all have a great weekend and hope to be back again by Monday as I have a card to make that was ordered:)
