Good Neighbour Stamps

BySue Madex March 24, 2010August 30, 2025

Hello hello! How is your day going today? I am thoroughly enjoying a few hours of being ALONE in the house! Jack (3) started 1 day a week of childcare last week. For his first day I must admit I was having rather mixed emotions and fluffed about rather aimlessly for the day! But he had a fabulous time and has been looking forward to going back, so I’m enjoying the time to myself a bit more today. Fitting a bit of card making into the day so I’ll have something new to show you here each day for the rest of March.

Today’s projects use the SaleABration set Good Neighbour. I wasn’t so keen on this one when I first looked through the four 2010 SaleABration sets but once I started playing with it, it soon became a favourite. (That happens so often!)

Cheers, Sue

5 Minute Card

BySue Madex October 7, 2008August 29, 2025

Got a spare 5 or 10 minutes. I think that was about how long I spent on this one. (Part of a cyber challenge from the Stampers’ Inc crew – using basic supplies. OK I cheated with the brads!) Scroll down for one with another addition. The Recipe Stamp Set: Touch of Nature Inks: Close To Cocoa,…

Mosaic Inspiration

BySue Madex December 29, 2013September 7, 2025

Instead of a papercraft project today I thought I’d share with you some pictures of a beautiful mosaic that I’ve been watching grow over the last few months at the school my children attend. What a labour of love. The children were involved in making some of the Australian native animals featured. Got any crafty…
