I just loved this card…..one of my own specialties that I made for a special stamping friend.  I used the new watercolour technique for colouring the rose using Baja Breeze dye reinker and aqua pen.  The stamp set is also one of my favourites called Fifth Avenue and I used the matching designer paper.(All Stampin Up). Please comment below and let me know what you think.

This card was made using scrap designer paper and the embrace Life set of stamps  all from Stampin’Up.

Well I am having a fun day for the 1st time this year. Had watched a video tutorial for this a while ago and am not sure where now, but I just had to give it a go. Thanks for the inspiration. It is a cover for a post it note book and pen holder, which as you can see accidently slipped down at the bottom of the scan as I did not have it stuck in yet.

I used Freinds 24 7 stamp set and Apricot Appeal, Kiwi Kiss and Choc Chip.

Same card, different colour, different DSP. 

I’m not usually an orange person, but was happy with this card.

Well I had my first night card making for the year…..and hopefully am back on track with a weekly posting to my blog for you all to look at. Who said having a daughter get married is not stressful……but it was certainly worth all the effort….she looked wonderful and we had a great day.

So here is my card inspired from SCS and it was fun to make using punches and my cuttlebug…..no actual stamping though. Hope you enjoy it.

Due to house renovations I have been unable to stamp lately…..although I have still been able to do your orders I apologize for not having some goodies for you to see…….but am hoping that I will be back stamping by mid April and I can’t wait…..I am missing it soooo much.  So check back then.

*These sets will appear on the upcoming list of retiring products, so they will only be available for the Bushfire Appeal–while supplies last. Receive a free Sale-A-Bration product for every $100 purchase.

Just to let you know that I am here, have been busy packing up my stamp room into boxes as I am getting a new room built onto the back of my house for my stamping studio…..can’t wait.  But until then I am not able to find anything, I would show you a photo but am not sure how to down size it to get onto my blog…so if anyone can advise me I would appreciate it and then you can all see.

Meanwhile I received a lovely surprise card from Angela Sargeant so will share that with you all…..it is lovely and I thank Angela for sending it to me.
