That's a bit embarrassing really! I suddenly remembered tonight that I even had a blog, so thought I really should stop by and catch you all up a bit.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I haven't been crafting much at all in the last 9 months, BUT I was busy at the end of last year making some items and selling me at a local market, which proved to be really successful and I had a great time doing it (great confidence booster which doesn't go astray!).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Well, the time has come to start doing it all again! I've come up with a few new items to put on my table and I'm really looking forward to seeing if they'll even be a little bit popular. I PROMISE I'll be back with pictures to share what I have made and what I will be making in the near future! Please don't give up on me!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">On a personal note, life has totally changed again in the last 7-8 months. I have moved back into my own house (after renting it for 18 months to 2 lots of 'strangers' (!) and really enjoyed some small renovations, and by small I mean small! I'm the worlds most indecisive person, (have been known to spend far too long trying to decide what dishwashing soap to buy, or what box of bandaids is best!) so it's actually been very difficult for me, choosing colours etc. But my little home is looking great again! It has the "Tania-touch" all over it and I'm love love loving it! Just got one more room to paint and it's done for now though I have so many ideas for the future, for not only my home but a few other adventures I have up my sleeve...I just hope I can make them work!<br /><br />Thanks for sticking with me....stay tuned, I will try really hard to keep updated a bit more often! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br />For those that don't know...I completely and utterly lost any creative mojo that I used to have. My craft desk ended up being used as a dumping-ground and it was a constant effort to keep it clean and dust free - which was a real shame, with all the craft products just sitting there being unused and unloved.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br />Back in October on a very difficult day for me, I visited my fabulous friend (who is also my BF's mother!) at one of her 1st market stalls at Evandale Market (Tasmania, Australia). She was kind enough to offer a little bit of her table space so I could sell a bit of my "stuff" in exchange for helping her set up etc the next week. I did this, got busy that week making some new fresh "stuff"....I sold a bit...but I learnt lots about what people want and what they don't want...and that I can't make them buy things that "I" like! lol</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Well, several markets later, I've honed my items and I have found that my peg magnet sets are the most popular, along with post-it note holders, 'jellybeans-in-owls' and my paper balls. I have enjoyed it thoroughly....more than I ever thought and I've even been brave enough to hold my own stall on my very own...though my mummy did come with me! ;) </span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Now for some personal highlights of my life over the last few months (in no particular order):</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br />1. Having a very proud mummy moment watching my gorgeous almost-7-year-old stand up on stage in front of several hundred people and play her very 1st violin solo!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br />2. Enjoying our new kitten...now that's he a big boy and is toilet-trained!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br />3. Having a night out with friends to see Kasey Chambers & her husband Shane Nicholson sing from their new Wreck & Ruin album!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">4. Enduring not one, not two but THREE wobbly teeth demonstrations from my daughter and eventually 3 x "MUM! It finally fell out!!! I pulled it out!!!" <i>(Note: I don't "do" wobby teeth....makes me feel quite ill!)</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">5. New couch shopping!!!! (very very difficult for an indecisive girl like me!)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">6. A trip down to Bruny Island (bottom of Tasmania, Australia) with my girl and my parents...hoping to see some seals, dolphins and even maybe a whale on a boat trip, but unfortunately we had such terrible weather that only a handful of brave seals let themselves be on display for us, but it was a trip to remember, that's for sure!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">7. Took my little girl Charlotte to our local show and being as proud-as-punch when she gave in to me and let me take her on the "Gee-Whizz" ride! lol. She even did it twice cos I really wanted to go again! She's so brave!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">8. Teaching Charlotte to drive! Yep, you heard right, drive! She's 6! She's driven my car (on my lap) steering the wheel and controlling the accelerator (I was in charge of the brake) and she did amazingly well! I so can't wait for her to drive me around, for a change!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Of course there are lots more highlights as I've really enjoyed this last year, living on my parents farm, living the "country-life" again and homeschooling my daughter! It's almost come to an end though, and a new chapter will be starting very soon which is scary and exciting at the same time!<br />If you're still with me, thanks for taking the time to read and catch up on "Tania & Charlotte's life"!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span style="color: #990000;">For those of you who are interested in my little farm stories....</span><br /><br />It's been a tough day on the farm today...we unfortunately had to put down 2 pregnant sheep because they were very very sick (hard to understand and accept, I know, but it was the kindest thing to do)...and we were able to save one of the unborn lambs. <br /><br />She's tucked up inside tonight - away from the terrible wind and rain. She's just had her 1st feed of colostrum and is now able to stand for a little while before falling over. She's a true miracle, our Ruby. Unfortunately her twin didn't make it but she will have Maggie to keep her company now. Let's hope they like each other!</span></div>

It's been way too long since I've made another page for my scrapbook album....I've had heaps of photos hanging around - so yesterday I went through them all and just couldn't go past this picture of my little girl when she was 2 - oh she was so so cute!!!</div>

Thanks to my special friend Patrice Easton from <a href="http://springblossommusings.blogspot.com.au/" target="_blank">Spring Blossom Musings</a> who made the crocheted flowers for me - they have come in very useful to me - so thanks heaps Patrice!<br />

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Oh my! It's been 6 months since I've last posted on my blog! That is just plain terrible!<br />I've been having a little break from creating - just felt I wasn't enjoying it anymore which I felt very sad about. I also have been super busy working at a seasonal job - which has been fun in a way but lots of long hours. That has pretty much finished now - and I've found I suddenly have some spare time on my hands - bonus!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />For 6 months I have successfully avoided my craft table...until today! I finally had a few minutes where I found myself doing a bit of blog hopping etc on the computer and remembered that I have terribly neglected <a href="http://just-add-ink.blogspot.com.au/" target="_blank">Just Add Ink</a> since I finished up on the Design Team last year - so I visited and saw that this week's challenge is <a href="http://just-add-ink.blogspot.com.au/2012/06/jai-121-just-add-pearls.html" target="_blank">Just Add Pearls</a> - and if anyone knows me well, they'll know that I LOVE pearls and wear my pearl earrings most days!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">So... I took it all as a sign - it's time...time to dust off the craft table and let some creative juices start to flow!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />I had a person in mind when I made this card - and I know she's gonna love it when I get to deliver it to her in person very soon!<br /><br />Enough babbling...here it is!</span></div>

</span></div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Here I've used this butterfly die, some <span style="color: purple;">Whisper White</span> and <span style="color: purple;">Regal Rose </span>(I know, I know, more Regal Rose!) cardstock to make each butterfly a little raised and "popped"! Each butterfly has about 5 white dies and the top pink 1. I probably shouldn't have used as many as 5, but I guess I got a little carried away Big-Shotting! I chose to use <span style="color: purple;">Stampin' Up's 2-Way Glue Pen</span> to adhere each layer, but I did find it was getting a little sticky so I started to just use <span style="color: purple;">Snail</span> which worked really well.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I have white embossed the sentiment which is <span style="color: purple;">PaperTrey's Signature Greetings Vol. 3 No. 63.</span> Some little <span style="color: purple;">pearl bling</span> and I had to stop myself from tizzing away - reminding myself CLEAN and SIMPLE!!!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">My card base is <span style="color: purple;">Glossy White</span> again - I love the feel of glossy!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />

YAY!!! </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Here I had a go at colouring cardstock with Copics to give it a wash of colour - just like <a href="http://mailebelles.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Maile Belle</a>s did on Day 1 of the Clean And Simple Card Making Online Course. I used <span style="color: purple;">glossy cardstock</span> and love the look and feel of it! Feels very lush indeed!</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I've stamped the <span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: purple;">Stampin' Up Congrats</span></span> stamp in <span style="color: purple;">Versamark</span>, then <span style="color: purple;">Stampin' Up Basic Black ink </span>and then <span style="color: purple;">clear embossing powder</span> to make that sentiment "POP" even more. The main part of the card is also glossy, so I've used <span style="color: purple;">Black Stazon</span> to stamp the "on getting a little bit older and better than ever!". A bit of <span style="color: purple;">Stampin' Up Whisper White Taffeta ribbon</span> and a little bit of <span style="color: purple;">bling</span> and done! Oh, and I popped the coloured strip up on <span style="color: purple;">Dimensionals</span>.<br />
<br />
I love how rich the colours of the <span style="color: purple;">Copics (V01, V04, V06)</span> turned out, especially on the glossy. <br />
Hope to be back soon with something else before the mojo disappears again!</span></div><br />

<a href="http://www.kwernerdesign.com/blog/" target="_blank">Kristina Werner</a> shared a very clean and simple layout - and this is my card that was inspired by hers. I used SU Razzle Dazzle for the edging - but made a little woopsy in the top lefthand corner where I managed to over lap the stamping - woopsy! My card and ink is Regal Rose and I have white embossed the sentiment.</span></div><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: black; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><br />

Instead of using my dodgy white gel pen, (which was promptly thrown in the rubbish bin when it refused to work one too many times!) I used some Polymark White Sparkling Dimensional Fabric Paint....it worked so I didn't question it!<br />

I hope to continue to be inspired by the wonderful world of clean and simple and have something else to share with you soon!</div></span><br />

This weeks challenge at Just Add Ink came from the very very talented and beautiful <a href="http://springblossommusings.blogspot.com/" style="text-align: left;" target="_blank">Patrice Easton</a>, from Spring Blossom Musings. I love pretty things, so this was right up my alley!</div></span><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I needed to make a card for my gorgeous little daughter, Charlotte, who is turning 6 on Christmas Eve...and as mother like daughter, she loves pretty things too - and loves her "diamonds" and bling - hence, I had to make her this "loaded to the max" card!</span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8x3rjPH9IHQY-Q8Vp54Z7xlSkQf0-m2C8xUSW1-zVznuLgPU03Qlb2G2xNEWNBDGwo-wkmAFPd6dS6SbJRDrAE8IlLXLbKMKJOl8yUuhvYN4clYQoTn0fQtwnLQRZbEF93hvYk7mWAr75/s1600/Bling+Card+019.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8x3rjPH9IHQY-Q8Vp54Z7xlSkQf0-m2C8xUSW1-zVznuLgPU03Qlb2G2xNEWNBDGwo-wkmAFPd6dS6SbJRDrAE8IlLXLbKMKJOl8yUuhvYN4clYQoTn0fQtwnLQRZbEF93hvYk7mWAr75/s320/Bling+Card+019.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I have used Stampin' Up's Pick-A-Petal stamp, then cut out the petal and covered it in Crystal Effects and then sprinkled Stampin' Up's Chunky Sprinkles over it. <br />
The #6, I found in my stash and just used a sponge dauber to rub some Pear Pizzazz into it and then covered the #6 in Crystal Effects as well.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: center;">I even extended myself this week by blowing off the dust off my much-neglected sewing machine....after a trial run on some scrap paper, I was off and sewing - all going well....until for some reason it just stopped sewing halfway and then picked up again before I realised. So....I decided to unpick it all, sew it all without cotton (so it made the dots for me) and then hand-sewed it all! As you can see, there was a reason why there was so much dust on my machine! But I'm really happy with the effect and it really does "make a card" in real life (IRL)!</div></span><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: center;">So thanks for coming to have a look....make sure you do go and check out the rest of the Just Add Ink Design Team's work and leave them some love - cos they all do such an amazing job!</div></span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />

I'm honoured to be the very first Design Team member to feature in our new addition to our challenges!<br />

<div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The idea is to CASE or be inspired by something that I've made in the past - well, you can't exactly CASE something that I've made in the future, so good thing I typed "past" there hey?!</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I had a very difficult time trying to decide what I'd CASE of myself, because most things I've made I've already wished I changed something here or there....but in the end I chose to CASE </span><a href="http://taniagould.blogspot.com/2010/01/just-add-ink-colour-challenge-1.html" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; text-align: left;" target="_blank">my very first Just Add Ink Design Team card</a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; text-align: left;">!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2_bzUlUBCREqzSRMQeyS42j_QSa4Gs8v01sOliD3PHwIDEy234i93neW98m5rIaJuV0Eds0J3jIootMkwa-3Y80jOhzT4zkJlABdRQJ4LjRm-bxISoMdv1sMecPZBpdKFnf2uxIuY2TY3/s1600/JAI+Card.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2_bzUlUBCREqzSRMQeyS42j_QSa4Gs8v01sOliD3PHwIDEy234i93neW98m5rIaJuV0Eds0J3jIootMkwa-3Y80jOhzT4zkJlABdRQJ4LjRm-bxISoMdv1sMecPZBpdKFnf2uxIuY2TY3/s320/JAI+Card.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />

<div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">1) Here I've used Pretty In Pink and Melon Mambo.</span></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">2) I've white embossed one of my all-time favourite stamp sets, (which I won at one of the Regionals I attended!) and used a sponge dauber to rub the ink over. <br />
<br />
3) I then used a baby wipe to wipe over the top of the embossing to wipe off excess ink that had stuck to the embossing....and I think I was a little heavy handed with the baby wipe cos it kinda made the ink go a bit splotchy and dotty - but I decided that that was the look I was going for anyway! ;)<br />
</span></div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">4) Again, I followed <a href="http://creativestampingideas.blogspot.com/2011/01/flower-tutorial.html" target="_blank">Joanne Leddy's awesome photo tutorial</a> on how to make this beautiful flower, (and thanks to a very special friend who posted me some punchies so I could make some as I still haven't got all the flower punches I desire!). This flower is made with Whisper White cardstock, Silver Glimmer Mist and a SU bling-brad, well that's what I call them!<br />
<br />
5) I've mounted the embossed cardstock on Basic Black and popped them up on SU Dimensionals. I found some really lovely black sequined ribbon and added that. And done!<br />

</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I finally bought myself a new camera - so no more taking photos with my iPhone! I'm still learning how to drive the camera and I'm slowly making friends with my light tent again... we have been enemy's for so long, so hopefully you will see better, happier photo's from me in the near future!</span></div><br />

I made this card for my BFF's daughter, Aislinn. She turned FIVE!!!!<br />
I added some pretty Dazzling Diamonds to some bee's I found stashed away, gave them a little extra "bling" and I spritzed different pastel colours on the base card as well as a bit of silver.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnQK0Zx-XtU3_kxOD-koJA2Qj1zQjr99501YjwNS4jEZHs3vUNa9T1wuCZR656v837M5xc0jo47MuZqYwWefS556E3K7deib0450ZVpIIz5CZoGXRHSfqJoqLFJf5ACVbjF_0aTUajVNrX/s1600/CAMERA+043.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="297" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnQK0Zx-XtU3_kxOD-koJA2Qj1zQjr99501YjwNS4jEZHs3vUNa9T1wuCZR656v837M5xc0jo47MuZqYwWefS556E3K7deib0450ZVpIIz5CZoGXRHSfqJoqLFJf5ACVbjF_0aTUajVNrX/s400/CAMERA+043.JPG" width="400" /></span></a></div><br />
