Make a Wish.

This is a card I made for a very special boy who turned one recently. Using the Build A Roo Stamp set. I really love this set, it's so fun to play with. This time I water coloured Kanga and punched out the star in DSP Good Morning Sunshine. I inked the chipboard number then covered it with Crystal Effects. I really like how this card turned out.

My water colouring is getting much better.

A thank you card for me.

I just had to show you this gorgeous card I received yesterday from the very cute Claire, age 7. It was Claire's birthday party on the weekend and Jamie wanted to give her a box full of craft supplies. And this is her thank you card made out of some of those supplies. I think she is very talented and should enter my monthly challenge ;)

Here is the inside.

Thanks you so much Claire I love it. And I'm looking forward to seeing other wonderful cards you make.

Leah's Monthly Challenge # 8

Hi, I'm a bit late with this month's challenge, due to being away at Convention, anyway here it is. It's a photo of a gorgeous dona cover I again found at my sister's house.

The colours are Kiwi Kiss, Riding Hood Red, Tangerine Tango, Regal Rose & Whisper White.

Use this pic as your inspiration for a card, scrap page or anything else you might think of.

Entries in by Monday 1st June 7.00pm Brisbane time. Email me your creation or leave a comment on this post with a link to where your creation is. You only have three weeks this time. So you better get stampin'.

I haven't had a chance to make a sample for you but I will as soon as I can.

Have fun.

Edit: here is my sample card for you, at least I got it done before the challenge deadline. grin

I used the Circle Circus stamp set and the Best Yet stamp set. (level 1 hostess) This card was easy and lots of fun playing with all the circles. As you can see I used lots and lots of circle punches.

Thank You Stampin' Up!

I would like to give a very heartfelt thank you to Stampin' Up! for their very generous support in helping us to raise funds for the Australia's Biggest Morning Tea. I was so amazed at the huge box that arrived on Friday full of Stampin' Up! products that will help us raise lots of money for the Cancer Council.

Thank You.

Convention Swaps

Look at this huge pile of swap cards I received at Convention. Of course I had to make a huge pile of cards to be able to swap with. :) I made 50 cards and received 50 back. And there all just amazing.

And this is the one I made using the Pocket Silhouettes stamp set with the Friendly Words wheel.

I made it in lots of different colours.

I'm a lucky girl.

Hi everyone, hope your all having a fantastic week. The weather here in Brissie is just glorious. After being in Canberra where it was so very cold I'm lovin our warm days.

Here are a couple of pic's from my amazing trip.

This is a pic of me with my lovely roomie's Karen, Julie & Mel. That's Dawson in the middle. Those of you (demonstrators) that stayed at the Waldorf Hotel know what I mean when I say that Dawson made our stay at the Waldorf very memorable. grin

The amazing Shelli Gardner.

My blogger buddie Louise Handmade by Lou, from Brisbane. I'm so glad we got to meet in person.

Our first morning in Canberra 8.00am. Did you notice that every one's wearing jackets.

The colours of the trees are fantastic. We don't get trees like this in Brisbane.

And here we are all glamed up for the Dinner and Awards night.

It was great to meet up with friends like Sharon from Tassie, Robyn from Melbourne and make lots of new friends. It was just like a family reunion. Which I guess is just what it was, we're all part of the Stampin' Up! family with one common passion, Stamping.

I'll be back with pic's of swaps, pressies and make & takes in a day or two. So check back for that.

Until then......
