SAS Cards

I forgot to photograph these cards but luckily I was able to photo a friend/customer's cards so I could show you.  Thanks Sarah!

(sorry about the quality of the photo, I took it at night - not a good thing to do!)
 
This was a simple card to make - just using a few punches, embossing folder and ribbon!  Oh and a couple of markers.

 

I used my markers to colour in the flowers and my blender pen for the vase. The stamp set is the Level 1 hostess set from the Idea Book & Catalogue, "A Slice Of Life".  I seem to be favouring this set lately.

This is the other card my ladies made.  This card was cased from my upline Jayne Mercer.

This is again a simple card.  No layers - except for the sentiment!!  lol.  The stamp set used is "Just Believe" from the Idea Book & Catalogue.

Happy Stamping,

 

 

Convention Swap Card

Internet connection is still not good :-(  Let's soldier on!  LOL

I wanted to show you my swap card for Convention.

 
So, what do you think?

I am very pleased how it turned out.  I made 50 this year and all of them were swapped!  Phew..lol.

I really, really love the ribbon.  It is great to work with.  It is the 5/8" Organza Ribbon - it only come in Whisper White.

I am now counting down! LOL  Oh yes, I am over the half way mark in the pregnancy!  This kid is VERY active.  Mr O is excited while Miss M, well, she has no idea!  LOL.

It is 10pm Sunday night......Mr O's bag is packed ready for school tomorrow, clothes are out ready so I am going to log off, relax and watch some television before heading to bed.  Night all!

Happy Stamping,

 

Some Things Have To Be Believed To Be Seen

Hello there! 

I have not sat at my desk for weeks, hence no posts.  The weather here in Sydney has been awful.  Waaaaay too hot for stamping.  40+ degrees celcius with no air conditioning is not good to do anything. We bought a portable air con unit but it really struggled with that kind of temperature. 

Before the hot weather hit us, I did make a few things.  One of them being a swap card.

 
Whenever a new catalogue come out be that a mini or new IB&C, the INKlings do a 'swap' for it.  It is great fun.  This swap is from Sale-a-Bration.  I used Sweet Summer stamp set. 

 

 
I used dimensionals to raise the image.



As I don't have dsp to match the colours, I made my own.  Quite easy to do really.  I used another stamp for the Sweet Summer set and randomly stamped onto the Baja Breeze card stock. 

I have just realised that I haven't posted my other swap card from the Summer Mini catalogue.  Must get onto that post.  :-)

Other news......Mr O is doing great at school this year (she says wiping her forehead in relief).  Obviously the school holidays did him the world of good.  His teacher encourages him all the time (from what I have seen in his books).  I am so pleased he has now settled in and is working well in class.  It should be easier to gauge exactly what level he is at.

Well, that is it from me for today.  It is currently raining outside and lovely and cool.  I wish I could bottle this weather and let it out when it gets hot again.  LOL.

NOTE:  Don't forget that you can order from the Summer Mini and earn Sale-a-Bration stamp sets until the 31st March 2011.
 

Happy Stamping,

 

Just For You

Another project from the training day.......

Using the 'just believe' stamp set and the shimmer paint too!

You can see the shimmer paint used on the flowers.

The training day goes for a few hours and you can attend the afternoon session or evening.  While we make projects, Jayne also has some business tips and other useful information.  I love to attend, not only to make things but to catch up with my fellow demonstrators, plus it is a few hours of ME time!  If you would like to be apart of a great group of people, all you have to do is join my team.  Simple! ;-)  Contact me if you would like more information.

Happy Stamping,
