Trendy Trees

Last Sunday I had a Hostess Appreciation Event and these ladies got to play with some of the new products in Stampin’ Up! 2009-2010 Idea Book & Catalogue. They got a sneaky peek at the new catty and a complimentary copy to take home with them including a Make & Take project and a little […]

Circle Circus

I had so little time to prepare for my Hostess event on Sunday as I’ve only just got back from our US Oddysey and am still suffering terribly from jet lag so was working virtually right through the night on Friday and Saturday to get it done. These are the card samples I made up […]

Star Punch

Today’s the day! We’re off on our adventure traversing the West Coast of USA, so this is the last live post. Keep checking back on my blog though, as I have pre-scheduled posts which will automatically publish in my absence. You see, you all mean so much to me, I’ve even done some homework and […]

Great Friend

I’ve been itching to play with this set which I was recently given and sadly it isn’t one that we have available in the SU Eu catalog at the moment. I used the old faithful Whisper White A4 sheet cut in half lengthways, cut another piece of Whisper White a tad smaller, no precise measurements, […]

She likes giraffes, so I just had to make […]

Scene in a Garden

This is the card I made for my BIL’s birthday. I used the Haiku DSP for the decorative strips and Really Rust to mat with. To position the images from the Scene in a Garden stamp set exactly where I wanted them, I used my old faithful SU stamp-a-majig. Images were coloured in with water […]

Boatloads of Love, Loads of Love, Circle of Friendship

I used Whisper White for my card blank and stamped a canvas background on front and inside of card.  I stamped the images from Boatloads of love (not available in SU Eu cat and has been retired from current US catty) and Loads of Love, coloured with watercolour crayons and an aqua pen and matted […]
