Ahoy Matey

Well I admit it.. I struggled with this weeks colour throwdown challenge.. mainly because we don't have Kiwi Kiss and Baja Breeze, and also because I didn't have my mojo with me!!!
I don't like this card at all, so today I am off to see Mamma Mia with the kids again at the movies, then hopefully I might be able to create something worth while to blog .

Birthday Bella for Joani

Here is the second card using the throwdown challenge combo. Joani's giving away blog candy, all you have to do is do a birthday card... so go check out her cool site. I Looovvve this card

Bloomin' with Beauty / Baroque Mofits

First picture is my prize from Paper Pesto. Thanks to Kate an co for such an awesome nz site. They have monthly kits for sale, Friday freebies to enter... go check them out. I can't wait to have some time to play with these freebies. I won these things in a random draw for a scrapbook layout challenge.

The card I created is for Colour Throwndown Challenge No. 8 from last week!! Yes I am running behind a week. At first I struggled with these colours (Old Olive, Certain Celery and Cameo Coral) together, but I loved them once I got started and even did a second card which I will share for you tomorrow

Free Wheelin'....

What a great promo SU have this month. It's not very often you can get something for free... this would be a fantastic time to get any of the following stamp sets on the flyer and get the co-ordinating wheel for free!!!
Email or ring to place your order.

Challenge

Here is another stamp I was challenged to use. and make into a card. I made a faux alligator bag. Pretty cool to make.

Heartfelt Thanks

Here is another project from Marie which I think is stunning. I am surrounded by talented downline!!! Talk about putting the pressure on... better make some cards tonight!

The Wylde Women Award

I was awarded this award by Michelle, who is a very talented SU Demo in New Plymouth. I don't often get awards an when I do it leaves me all warm and fuzzy!!! Go and check out Michelle's blog to see how fantastic she is... Thanks Michelle.

Here are the Rules:-

1. You can give it to 1 or 100 or any number in between - it's up to you.

Make sure you link their site on this post.

2. Link back to this blog.

3. Remember the purpose of this award:

To send love and acknowledgment to women who brighten your day, teach you new things and live their lives fully with generosity and joy.

I would for sure give it to all my downline because they are all wonderful people inside and out, but only two of them have blogs, Lou and Chloe. Would also like to give it to LeAnne and Joani... here's why....

Lou - Stampin' Up! is responsible for myself and Lou meeting about 1 1/2 yrs ago.. and she has become one of my closest friends. Not only is she a very talented stamping/scrapbooking chick, she is also one of the most loyal, funny, understanding friends I know.

Chloe - another talented lady, who always seems to have so much energy and time for markets, workshops, two blogs and a beautiful baby.. oh and did I forget to mention that she also works!!!

Leanne -I find myself always checking in on her blog and seeing what wonderful creations she has been doing, I also have a few cards she has sent over which are now on display in my craft room from her. She is such a warm and caring person.. just wish she wasn't so far away!!! Oh and I almost forgot.. she is also one of the fantastic ladies who challenges us on the "color throwdown challenge" website

Joani - One of the remaining SBS6 sisters I constantly keep in touch with. I also have received a few cards from this talented lady "just because". Another one who is so far away!!!
