Whats Happening October

Well October is going to be a very busy month for me. With World Card Day on the 3rd October, and Stampin Up have a great special for this event. (Scroll down). I also have Regionals, where all Demonstrators get together and learn new techniques, see new products coming up, swap cards with other demo's do lots of make and takes and generally just have a great day of stamping..... This I can handle six hours of stamping..... So hopefully in my up and coming workshops I will have some great new cards for all of you.

Don't forget,

Keep on stamping.

Got some samples then don't forget to bring them along so we can all see.

Cheers

Happy 30th Birthday

Another card Using the Fun and Fast notes with the

Earth elements card stock group.

This was for a friend who was turning "30".

I have also used the dots embossing folder from the cuttlebug

range and I have used the Fancy Pants cuttlebug alphabet

dies to cut out the number 30.

I have also used the thumping technique.

Cheers for now

Pirate Party Goody Bag

As promised after showing you all my son's card I have now got a photo to show you of the goodie bags the children got to take home. The party was a great success and everyone had a ball. Very tiring but worth it... The children were all great and well behaved. We ended up with 14 kids all together.

Workshop WOW

Another workshop WOW,

Another card for the Grandson

Ok like I said I have been busy making cards for my son's upcoming birthday. Here is another one from the grandparents.

This time I used the retired stamp set "Ahoy Matey" which I just love.

I cut the treasure chest out and cut the lid off so that I could add some kindy glitz for the treasure.

Also used the gray papers again. I coloured the treasure chest and bird in with my blender pens.

Happy Birthday Grandson

With my son's birthday coming up shortly I have been busy making cards for him. This is one from the grandparents that he will be getting.

Here I have used the Choo Choo Set from the spring mini.

I have used going gray and basic gray with abit of very vanilla. I stamped the train in Brilliant Blue and Real Red and yes I did cut them out free hand......I used the thumping technique for the background and the track is just cardboard. I think he is going to love this card.

If you wish to make this great layout for any little boy growing up, then you need to call me and reserve your seat for this Workshop being held on the 26th August 09 at my house.

There are quite a few techniques involved in this page, such as thumping and faux wood grain.

I have used the Totally Tool Stamp set and all the colours come from the Earth elements group.

Fathers Day Card

With Fathers Day approaching fast, I thought it was time to get stuck into those Fathers Day Cards. This card was made from the Earth Elements Group. Chop Chip, Really Rust, Old Olive and Whisper White for the stars. The Stamp set used was Fun and Fast Notes and the Polka Dot Background Stamp, I used the Wonderful Favorites Stamp Set for the wording at the top. I kept with the rustic look and used linen thread around the old olive cardstock for a nice effect.

Don't forget if you wish to make your cards for Fathers Day, drop me a line to find out when my next class is.
