The second challenge is from

I had fun using my quickutz for this one for the Christmas tree, added heaps of bling, a few punches from Stampin Up and there you have it. A really simple, yet effective card for Christmas.


My Christmas card earned me this award. Thank you so much.

Sail Away FMS10

P1020992
Here is the card I have made for this weeks challenge from Freshly Made Sketches # 10. www.freshlymadesketches.blogspot.com. I have used the Stamp set The Open Sea, which is available 1st December from from the new Summer Mini Catalogue. I really like this stamp set. So this is more or less a little sneak preview of whats to come.

So, it's not exactly like the sketch, but it is pretty close in the design. I have just added a few little other bits and pieces.

The cards we really made Monday


So, Sunday afternoon I decided that I was still going to use the stamp set All in the Family by Stampin Up, but I thought I would go easy on the girls and refresh their memories on using the Stamp a ma jig. So instead of the previous card I posted for the class preview, I decided on this one instead. I also used Bashful Blue, Marina Mist (my favourite), the word window, and the two square punches. The inspiration for these cards came from the very talented Andrea Karadimos from Sydney. You can check out her blog here:

Here is a closer look at the card. Stamp a ma jig heaven. The colours I used here are:

Watercolor paper
Pink Pirouette card stock
Pretty in Pink card stock

Flower Fancy - Thinking of you 2


I almost forgot to blog about this card I made using SU Flower Fancy. I think I will enter this as my second card in the SUO - Thinking of you challenge. Again, thanks Shirley for the use of your stamp set.

Flower Fancy - Thank you


This is the first card I have ever made using vellum. Don't ask me why? It just never crossed my mind. I thought I would make a few more cards using this flower fancy set before I must return it to its owner. I'm now thinking I probably should add this set to my wish list. Boy is that getting long.

Flower Fancy - Thinking of You


Well, firstly I had to borrow this stamp set from a good friend of mine. Thanks Shirley. Secondly I have decided that I would enter it into two challenges this week, as I have not done any challenges for a while. There is a list of supplies I have used on the bottom of this post, although, until SU Australia decided that we will have online ordering, they will just take you to my Stampin Up home page, but you can drop me an email if you would like anything ordered. It's all a bit of fun. It is a little hard to see, but I have covered the front of the card with vellum, to tone down the brightness of the flowers. (Must remember to find a photography class online somewhere). The two challenges are:

All in the Family - Thank you


This card is one that I am making my class make next Monday. I'm sure they are really going to love me for this one. Lets hope they all remember to bring their Stamp a ma jig's with them. I used two of the in colours from Stampin up, including Lucky limeade and Wisteria Wonder. Included below is a list of other items I have used to create this little wonder. By the way, the original idea came from Lynn Putt of The Queens Scene. Awesome, awesome work.
