More Entries



I am back with Kylie's entries. Kylie has used the Season of Joy Christmas set on a Birthday Card and for the sketch she has used Wild about you with the now retired treehouse paper. I wish you all a healthy, safe and happy new year.

Some Challenge Entries




I just scrolled back on my blog to see where I posted the challenge I set for my customers but realised I never posted it. Oh dear! It must have been the silly season.... But anyways the entries close today and here are two that Katrina has made. The first one is a colour challenge with the colours Kraft, Blush Blossom, Pale Plum and Whisper White and the second one is a sketch challenge that Keesh had set on her blog a while ago. Hopefully I will be back later with some more entries......

Scrapbooking


I have no cards to show you, but I have been doing something crafty "scrapbooking". I will get back to cards but at the moment I have been enjoying catching up on some of my scrapbooking. This page uses Jersey Shore DS Paper and Night of Navy. I have cut the letters out with my cricut machine and used a rubon for the letters. Those rubons are now retired. I stamped the images out of the ABC Images and watercoloured them. I hope you are having a great day wherever you are.....

All about family


One of my customers and good friends emailed me this picture today. She made this card for her daughter from her son-in-law and grandson. They were giving pandora's as a present and she came up with this card to give with the present. I thought it was a great idea if you are giving pandora's as a present just tie them on. Daddy's got one and so does max. I'm guessing the colours are Wild Wasabi and Real red. The stamp set is all in the family and short and sweet. Thanks for emailing me this, I couldn't wait to share it all with you. I think it's just so clever......

Live your dreams


This card is made using the Carousel Notes in Soft Sky and the Love Bird Rubons and the lovely Live your dream stamp set. I mounted the Carousel Notes on Chocolate Chip cardstock which I cut to size to fit inside the chocolate chip envelopes that comes with the carsousel notes. I then added the rubon and stamped the flowers and butterfly and cut them out. I used one of my handheld circle punches to punch around the scallops and then stamped the for you with the say it with scallops and cut it out with square scallop punch and added a little ribbon behind it to finish it off.

Another Keesh Challenge


I made this card for Keesh's Inspiration Challenge, I was trying to match the cushion on the left hand side of the picture. I used the Illuminated wheel and wheeled in Versamark then heat set it with heat and stick powder, then dazzling diamonds and heat set again. So then I matched the cushion exactly a black background with a dazzling diamond border.........BORING for a card so I had to invent how to dress it up a little...... Well no wonder I am so late with my entry because I found this so hard....... So I came up with the Square Metal Tags and spotlighting a part of the border. I will stamp the other square when I find an occassion to use this card. Keesh works so hard at bringing these to us every week I really do love to play along, but gee this week I struggled......Its great to get out of your comfort zone occassionally!!!!

The colours are Pretty in pink, regal rose, mellow moss and always artichoke. I also used my trusty old stamp-a-ma-jig to line everything up just beautifully. This is a gorgeous stamp set to use......

Thank You card


I needed a thank you card last nite and I decided I wanted to use the colour Blush Blossom so I pulled out my colour coach and turned to blush blossom and the colours that matched were Certainly Celery and Always Amethyst and what do you no they actually match. The colour coach is a very handy tool to have....... I used the Eastern Blooms stamp set out of the summer mini catty and the thank you out of short and sweet. I added some cert celery brads to the flowers and also coloured the insides with the white gel pen. The background is stamped in blush blossom with the flower out of short and sweet and the centres are highlighted with the white gel pen also. I finished with some faux stitching and some certainly celery ribbon......Have a great day..

Birthday Card


This is a Birthday Card for my Grandmother. I also made a Folder to put some cards in as a present as well. The colours are Wild wasabi and Groovy Guava. I have used the Carousel Notes and cut them in half and then run them through my cuttlebug machine and then used the small circle punch to punch out the holes. I then used the Live your dream stamp set and Wonderful favourites and finished off with some Groovy Guava double stitched ribbon. I hope she likes them.... There is a tutorial on how to make this card folder on Keesh's website you can find it here.

Blog Award


I received this award from a fellow blogging friend Robyn at Rainbows by Robyn. Check out her blog it's very inspirational. Thanks so much Robyn for passing the award onto me. I really do appreciate it. Now part of this award is that I need to pass it onto 5 other people i think. But that is going to have to wait for another day. I am a bit strapped for time today and have a few things going on around here, hence the lack of regular posts. I am hoping to get a challenge completed later on tonite, so hopefully I will be back to load that on for you all to look at. Thanks again Robyn for your award!

Another Scrapbook Page


I apologise in advance for this photo being a little odd looking but everyway I have taken it hasn't worked except this way. So I hope you can all get a bit of an idea. I have been hooking into the scrapbooking a bit lately hence, the lack of cards to post here. Hopefully tomorrow night I must be able to get some cards happening again. Ok for this page I have used the new Carousel Notes out of the Summer Mini in Wild wasabi and I have cut it in half and put half on this page and half on the other page which is not pictured.... I have used paper out of the Jersey Shore DS Paper pack and the stickers out of crew kids boy scrapbooking kit and also some other stickers that I had on hand that are not stampin up...sorry.... I hope you are all having a great day wherever you are...
