Training

I went to the Stampin' Up! field training last night. What a great night. I learnt some new things, meet some lovely people and we even did some stamping. I forgot to take my camera so the very nice Vanessa is going to email me her photos of the samples. Thanks Vanessa. One of the best things about a Stampin' Up! event is the free stuff. We were given a new stamp set called Live your Dreams.(will be available later in the year.) I can't wait to play with it some more.

We made this 6 x 6 scrap page using this set as well as some other great products coming out soon. That's right new punches!!!!! I'm so excited.

You can see the new punches here.

I know it's crooked. Next time I'll take my Stamp a ma jig with me. Can't stamp without it.

Yes the snake is real and alive. My hubby found it at his work and brought it home to show the kids. They wanted to keep it. No Way!!!! It was released back into the bush that same night. Jamie had some great photos for show and tell at school that week.

The winner is ?

Mel's Fortnightly Challenge-Colour

This is the gorgeous picture Mel pick for her colour challenge this fortnight. Lovely colours, Ballet Blue, Regal Rose, Barley Banana & a neutral.

I thought I would do some water colouring, cause I need the practice. And when I pulled out my water colour paper I saw that I had a heap of left over bits, so I thought I better try and use some of them. And the card sort of turned into a puzzle. My 7 year old said it was very clever, he like it. I pick Basic Black as the neutral and you can see the Regal Rose and Barley Banana, the Ballet Blue is on those leaf type bits.

Added a bit of sparkle.

Ink : Ballet Blue, Regal Rose, Barley Banana, Stazon black
Card : Basic Black, Regal Rose, Water colour paper

Boho Friend Wheel

The boys all went to the football today (rugby league, the real football) so I thought the girls should do something fun too. What can be more fun than shopping, lunch then a chick flick? (besides stamping of course) Nothing I can think of! So my daughter Rebecca and I headed for the shopping centre. We went into all the shops the boys don't like. And the movie we saw was Mamma Mia. Fantastic, we both loved it. It's so good spending time together, away from the boys, to do girl stuff. We'll have to do it more often. Must check paper for the next day game. lol

I made this card when I was making the cards for the Stamp A Stack Cards for Men. It's much the same except I used the Boho Friend wheel instead of the background stamp. And I stitched around the DSP. I'm going to give it to my Father in-law for Fathers Day tomorrow. I'm loving the Outlaw DSP.

I will announce the winner of the punch competition on Wednesday so you still have time to enter here.

I am thinking of starting a monthly challenge. Their so much fun. Let me know what you think.

Keep on Stampin'
