Are you being blown away by this wind?? We're bunkered down in our bedroom, all 3 of us sick now! At least it's cosy i
nside! Hold on to your hats if you're outside today!! We were so lucky to have such wonderful weather on our holidays, cos as soon as we got home it was freezing and rainy and now gale force winds! So lucky we didn't have that kind of weather on our holiday!I took some card stuff away with us when we went on our Road Trip Beach Holiday, and am happy to say that I didn't even take everything I own, like I usually do! {patting self on back} If you know me, you'll know when I go anywhere to make cards I take at least 4 bags. I have no idea how to pack light! I managed to limit myself to 2 bags of craft stuff, which did me quite nicely! Felicity and I planned on making cards sometime at Darlington Park, though we didn't get to
{frowny}. Time just flew past, as it always does when you're on holidays! And with 3 kids under 4 the two of us barely had a moment to sit still, let alone stamp! I wish we could have been just slightly more organised (and less tired!) I'll know for next time, just to grab any available moment! I had managed to pull out the stuff on 2 days at Yamba and do some stamping on the playing-card sized table (honestly, it belonged in Alice in Wonderland) in the half dark (cos Jai was sleeping.) I happily came away with 9 cards over the 2 short sessions, which is a good effort! I didn't take any jewels or paper flowers away with me, so technically I finished the cards here at home, but I'm still claiming them as holiday 
cards! Ok, I went a little Owl mad and made a few owl cards with this giant Maya Road Owl. He hasn't seen ink in quite a while so that's a plus to have him out and inked up {high five!} I hand cut the patterned paper "branch" for the top two cards cos I didn't have any plain card scraps with me. I think they look pretty good! Then I thought I'd do a bit of a 
"funky" orange and blue owl card which I actually really like! It's quite a cool colour combo! I might have to make more in this combo. I love that blue- it's Baja Breeze and is totally one of my fave Stampin Up colours. I'm so pleased they made it a core colour (it started out as an "In Colour" which retire every 2 years). Baja Breeze and Certainly Celery seem to be my most versatile colours. I use them heaps! And to finish I made a more subdued owl card in browns and pinks, always a winning combo!So I'll post the other cards another day cos Jai is due to wake up and I want to post this before he does!

And here is a holiday snap of us at Whiting Beach at Yamba! We had a wonderful time and it was Jai's first swim at the beach!!

Did you take him in the water at the beach? It would have been FREEZING! It was too cold for me! I didn't know you made some cards on your trip! Very impressive! I would have had no chance!
