Soccor Scrapbook Page

I have been getting some scrapbooking done over the last week, which is a really good feeling. Here is one of the double pages that I started out with. I have always wanted to do this soccor ball since I first seen it, years ago, I have just added my own spin on it. I can tell you I am loving how it has turned out, but man it is a lot of work........ I have actually used some of my retired DSP for this page and one of the colours is wild wasabi, which will be back come September as part of our new colour renovation at Stampin Up! I hope you like it and are having a great day. Will try and get back here with some more pages over the next couple days...

Scallop Circle Card

Since convention, I have had a million ideas running through my head just busting to get out, I no those of you who went no what I am talking about. Well this is one of those ideas, I must say it looks way better IRL, we are having a very dark and cloudy day here and I need the flash but it is playing around with the colours a bit. The colours are one of my favourite colour combos, Old olive, Chocolate Chip & Not Quite Navy. I have used the Bigshot to run the Scallop circle and turned it into a card and then cut the circles with the Circle Scissors to match it up. I haven't pulled pocket silhouette out in a while so I wanted to use that as well. I hope you like and are getting some time to stamp into your day.....

Vintage Vogue Card

Here is a card I made for one of my friends. I just found it while searching for something else and remembered that I forgot to post it on here, thats because I forgot to photograph it first. The picture is pretty small but I have tried to enlarge it but it just goes all fussy. The colours are chocolate Chip, Soft Suede and Confetti Cream. I have used the Vintage Vogue stamp set and the pearls out of the pretties kit, as well as some soft suede ribbon. There is also lots of sponging on this card. It looks way better IRL...

Back from Convention

Hi there everyone, Sorry its been a while since I have posted on here, but life has been really busy. I just wanted to pop in here and share with you one of my convention swaps that I made as well as a couple of pics that were taken at convention. I had the best time at convention and I carn't believe that it came and went by so quickly and I am now back to the "real world". I need to get back in the swing of things first, but carn't wait to try some of the ideas that were presented to us at convention. I really just have so much flying around in side my head at the moment....lol...

It was sooooo nice to catch up with everyone again, It has been twelve months since I had since everyone, so that just makes for heaps of fun and lots of laughs. We were surrouned by fantastic company the whole time and it is always sad to say goodbye till next year. But look out Melbourne, here we come!!!!! Convention is always such a buzz, I mean seriously 500 like minded people in one room and Stampin Up are so genourous giving us stamp sets, can you imagine....lol...

This is me and Kim all dressed up for the awards nite.Me, Jenny & Katrina at the awards nite. This is Jean & Leigh who I met for the first time at convention last year and this pic was taken at one of the day sessions. I have some other photos as well but, they haven't worked out so well and I don't want to post any pics that arn't great. In the craziness of swapping I realised that I had forgot to photograph the other swap card, so I kept one to bring home and photograph it but I just need to locate it amongst all my other swaps that I have received. When I sort through it, I will get back and show you....

Manhattan Flower.

Here is a little card that I made a while ago. It uses the Top Note Die and then is impressioned with the Manhattan Flower. I wanted the impression to stand out a little so I sponged it with Pink Pirouette. I tied some ribbon and it was a really sweet and simple card. These would be nice made as a set of gift cards I think.....Now there is a thought.....

Some more Scrapbooking

Here is a page I did as a Challenge over on ESAD. I thought you might like to see it. It used the Vintage Vogue Stamp Set and the Top Note Die as a journal box cut in half. I have also used the Urban Oasis DS Paper. I am just loving that Vintage Vogue Stamp Set.....

Miss you already!

I sent this card to my friend on Monday and she has just rang to say she received it so thanks to Australia Post I can now show it on here. I followed Keesh's sketch challenge this week, I haven't played along with any challenge let alone hers for ages, It was so nice to get some stamping done. This card is for my good friend who has just moved away hence the title of the card, she has been part of my monthly card making nites as well since I started with Stampin Up and this month will be the first month without her. So I have sent her a kit by mail so she can still stamp with us and this was the card that went with it. The colours are Kraft, Pink Pirouette, Whisper white & Bravo Burgundy. This is one of my favourite colour combinations. I have used the Vintage Vogue stamp set and complimented it with the Very Vintage wheel in close to cocoa on the background. I have used the rock and roll technique on the flower and it has three layers to it. I hope you are having a fantastic day wherever you may be......

More Scrapbooking

Here are another couple of Easter layouts that I have completed. Again one boy and one girl layout. I followed a sketch from Pagemaps. I am really happy with how they have turned out. I have used the letters the same as the last page by using my bigshot. I have stamped the chickens out of the good egg stamp set. I hope you are all getting some time to craft these school holidays.....

Wedding card

Here is another card that I made at class a couple of month's ago using the Always stamp set. The colours are Kraft, Pink Pirouette, White and Bravo Burgundy. This is gate fold card for something a little different. The hearts are also blinged up with some glitter, it just hasn't shown through in the photo. I have also used the so swirly wheel with Sahara Sand ink on the kraft cardstock......have a great day.....

Birthday Card

This is a card we made a couple of months ago at class and had forgot to post it on here. I actually gave it away the other day so I thought I had better get a photo of it and get it on here. The colours are Kiwi Kiss and Riding Hood red which I have teamed up with Bella Rose DS Paper and the Pink Pirroette DS Paper as well. I have used the Circle Scissors and our circle punches to make the flower and the distressing tool to distress the flower as well.....

Easter Scrapbooking

I have started back doing some scrapbooking since we have been on school hols. Here are two layouts that I have done from Pagemaps. I have done them both the same but one for a girl and one for a boy. The girls page is using the new Sunny Day Simply Scrapbooking kit from the Autumn-Winter Mini. The boys page is using DS Paper from the Level 3 Hostess Set Hand Drawn Bundle as well as a sticker from Hoppy Memories. I have cut the letters out using the Medium Sizzlits Dies and Barry the Bigshot...... Hope you all had a wonderful easter......and by the way these aren't this years easter pictures either. I could only wish to be that up to date.......I am working on some more pages at the moment so hopefully I will have some more things to pop back here and show you.....

Tools & Beer Cans

Hey guys, I made this card the other day for my brothers birthday. I have used Basic Black cardstock for the base of the card. I then attacked a XXXX beer can with my craft and rubber scissors by basically just cutting of the top and the bottom. I then ran it through the dotty embossing folder with my big shot. What you can see on the card is actually the inside of the can the outside is stuck down. I also used a sweet treat cup to sit up on the shelf and filled it up with some screws. I hope you like it, I was so pleased with the result. By the way becareful cutting out your beer can it can be quite sharp after you have run it through the bigshot that presses all the sharp edges down....

Boys Birthday card

Well guys I hope you haven't given up on me. I sat and did some stamping last nite because my DS has a birthday party this weekend to go to. I didn't get long to play but gee it felt good. I actually got the Big Shot out and had a little play with the top note die and the dotty embossing template. I am really happy with it and have nicknamed him Barry Bigshot and I am sure we will be getting to no each other quite well in the next couple of weeks. I have used Brillant blue for my base and have rolled that with the the star roller in the same colour. I have used markers and ink to colour the rocket in with my aqua painter. The rocket is out of the Pun Fun set.....Hope your day is great.....I am off out to the garden now to mow again...... Take care till next time.....Mandyxx

One year old Birthday card

Hey guys! Well February has just passed me by.....I noticed my last post was the last day of January and I wish I could tell you that I have been stuck in my craft room for a whole month with the door shut and the do not disturb sign on the door, but I am afraid that I carn't. I havn't really even stamped for the past month or scrap booked either. So hence I really havn't had anything much to show you. I had some stamping time today and I made this sweet little card for a one year old.......The colours are Chocolate Chip, Brillant Blue and Old olive teamed up with Tall Tales DS Paper. Hopefully you will see me back here again before next month...lol....I really haven't even been blog surfing either, so I hope to catch up with all you girls that I normally visit and leave you some lovely comments this month....... I hope you are all having a wonderful day.....
