This second layout was showcased at last Friday night’s workshop and I drew inspiration from Stampin’ Up!’s Idea Book & Catalogue 2010-11. I have tweaked it slightly to make it my own. Several ornaments using Certainly Celery textured card stock, Jolly Holiday DSP, and stamped Delightful Decorations on Whisper White card stock in Certainly Celery […]
Level 2 Hostess Gift – Cute By the Inch
This was my Hostess Gift for November. Pam Morgan showed us how to make this at Convention 2010. I altered the dimensions to make it my own, adding a gusset so that when it closed, there was more give in the folder. The lining for the folder on the inside are from the Brights Collection […]

Scrapbook layout – Christmas Bundle
At a workshop last night, most of the ladies were scrapbookers, so I thought it would be a good idea to do a double page spread showcasing as many of the promotion products as I possibly could. The papers used here are the Specialty Christmas Cocoa papers, available while stocks last, bundled with the Welcome […]

The design on the Contempo wheel lends itself to having slots cut inside its “marquise diamond” shape pattern through which I threaded contrasting co-ordinating cardstock. I used a variety of wheels, gold […]
Hopeful Thoughts

My elderly cousin’s husband was laid to rest yesterday – he gave the “father of the bride” speech at my wedding […]
Notably Ornate, Tiny Tags, Love What You Do,
This note card measures 5 3/4″ x 4″ with a Cherry Cobbler base, and each layer was cut 1/4″ smaller than the previous one in Wild Wasabi and Whisper White. I used markers to ink the Notably Ornate frame, the part that I wanted to show and a special free stamp we were given at […]
Daffodil Delight, Pacific Point & Watercolour paper
This is one of the sets from my personal collection. There are so many stamp sets I received for my birthday which are still in pristine condition, unmounted and untouched because I just haven’t had a chance to really play with them. I’m really out of my comfort zone here, but the colour coach is […]
