Pocket Fun

Well here is a change of creating for me. My Hubby made the unfortunate comment that I don't do bright kids cards... so I took on that challenge!!! and used the only... yes I said only kids stamps that I have got. It wasn't intentional not to get any of these types of stamps, and I did have fun doing this card... so I guess the moral of the story is to go outside your comfort zone... and for me... make sure I get a few more kids stamps!!!!

Until next time, have a great weekend....

Triple explosion box

What fun this was to do... I am marking this one down in my calander for a new class group next year called "Off the page club". If you want to know more about this little club email me for more info. This box is sure to be a winner with scrapbookers.

Christmas card from America

Wow, what a great card I received today from LeAnne. She is a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator from the other side of the world (and very talented I must say). I even took the card into work today to show it off to the girls. Amazing how you can meet people through computers and blogs! I hope she starts her own blog up soon... I will be sure to share it when she does!

Meanwhile... what have I been doing??? I have attempted my very first triple explosion box... and I must say even I am impressed... (and I don't normally say that!!) I just have to add the finishing touches to it, then its completed. (Has taken 3 days). I promise that I will take a picture and put on blog.

Take care

Carte Postale / Floral Background

This would have to be my favorite I have done today. I used two background stamps, first the Floral then with white I used Cheesecloth. This gave the card a more old cracked porcelain look. I also used the Cheesecloth inside the card to finish it off.

Well back to work for me tomorrow. So must go and do all the not so fun things like, get tea done, pack kids lunch, etc... hopefully put my feet up and have a little R&R at the end of the night.
Have a great week.

French Flaire / Carte Postale

Loved getting out the heat gun today. Haven't played with it in a long time. I really like how this card turned out, it has a simple elegance to it. (didn't take long to do either which is always a bonus!!!)

I think I am going to have a lot of fun playing with my new stamp sets out of the new Summer Mini.... Keep watching... I'm sure I will have more to post.!

Holiday Spirit

Well I finally got my mojo back. Yeeha!!! Such a wonderful summer day today I managed to finish of the painting outside, pull a few weeds and do a few cards. Getting into the Christmas spirit I had to start of with a Christmas card.. quick and easy. The post above is the other two cards I played around with.

Oh - No... it's Scribble This AGAIN!!!!

Hi everyone. I haven't been blogging for a few days, just haven't had the urge, call it a creative block if you like!!! (I call it "on holiday mode"!)

Anyway, enough excuses, I have managed to do another layout of the girls using Scribble This set (again). I just can't get enough of this set.... if anyone hasn't got this set I highly recommend it, it would have to be one of my favorites. Even if you are just starting out in stamping/scrap booking, it would be a good investment. And just a reminder, you only have till the end on the month to purchase this set then it is making way for the new stamp sets in the Summer Mini.
I wasn't going to put this layout on the blog, I thought it was too wish-washy (bit of this bit of that), but it got the nod from the class ladies that were here tonight... so here it is.

A big hello to Lou, my Stampin Up buddy who I caught up with at the Palmerston North Training on Thursday night. What a long night it was, but well worth it seeing Lou and meeting her mum.
