Did I say MERRY CHRISTMAS?


This is our Christmas Card for 2008. Merry Christmas to you.
And some other Christmas Designs from the Christmas Club...






Happy Birthday Nanna



Crystal Effects highlights the heart by making it look 3D. I have used Old Olive, Tempting Turquoise and Purely Pomegranate colours, In The Spotlight stamp set and the Scallop Edge punch and 5 Petal punch.

A beautiful card for my beautiful Nanna!

Pretties Kit and a Merci to Kellie E


Happy Birthday Nadine

Here I stamped directly onto the acetate. The Purely Pomegranate cardstock has gold leaves embossed on it which is all behind the acetate.

Congratulations Kelly on your pregnancy!

Happy Birthday Darelle


Here I used an on board letter 'D', Hodgepodge Hardware and the new square scallop punch from the Summer mini catalogue (available from 1st December). The ribbon and main cardstock is Blue Bayou and the red cardstock and red ink, which is actually a marker, is Ruby Red.
A card with a matching gift box for a special girl!

Queensland Girls Celebrate















Dakota and Kiarra received belated birthday cards and matching bookmarks and Shania's was early. Terrible organisation but we do adore those girls!!







The Spring Mini catalogue is all about to run out on 30th November and contains the cherry stamp (from the set Tart & Tangy) and the cherry paper.

The bookmark is made using Glossy White cardstock and simply stamped directly onto it. The cherries were stamped using red and green markers which can be purchased individually until 30th November. I used eyelets at the top and threaded the matching ribbon through. I added a 'wish big' greeting which was cut out using the large oval punch.

Better Homes and Gardens

Tonight, I got to watch a little of Better Homes & Gardens where they showed us how to use our stamps with fabric paint onto fabric. If you would like any handy hints on this technique or if you are wanting to stamp directly onto your walls or if you would like a little technique booklet then please just ask me.

The program showed a large French script stamp. I was thrilled to see the craft shop price they mentioned to be able to pick up a stamp like that - the Stampin' Up! stamp that is similar (in my opinion - better!) and is much cheaper. The SU Background stamps are on page 107 and 108 of the 2008-2009 Ideas Book and Catalogue. Take a look.
