Challenge #9 Winner & Entries

Hi, I've had a huge day today, which is why I'm just getting to the computer now. It started with 3 hours of shopping then 4 hours of baking and then making lollie bags, filling the pinyata and wrapping the pass the parcel. Talk about leaving everything till the last minute. All for Jamie's party tomorrow, he'll be 8 and is having a dino disco party. We already have the disco ball and lights so why not.

Enough about me, it's time to announce the winner of challenge #9. But first I want to thank everyone who has entered, you've all made amazing cards and I hope you had fun making them.

Baroque Motifs

Hi, well the weekend has just flown by it's Sunday already.

Here is a card I cased from page 78 of the 2009/10 Idea Book & Catalogue. I used a different stamp set Baroque Motifs and changed the colours. I quite like it.

Hope your having a great weekend.

Another Mini Photo Book.

Yes another Mini Photo Book. :) This one I turned into a Rebecca's top 5 book. It's full of pockets with tags for her to pull out and fill in. Really fun. Using the Sweet Always DSP and the Circle Circus stamp set.

The cover.

The insides.

Don't forget to get your entries in for challenge #9. Only 6 days left.

Happy stampin'

Mini Photo Book.

Hi, today I have a Mini Photo Book to share with you. We made these at the Simply Scrappin' Class a few weeks back, but with this one used the gorgeous DSP Bella Bleu and the Friends 24-7 stamp set. I love this colour combination, Kraft, Not Quite Navy and Very Vanilla.

The cover.

The inside pagers.

I've also used a few different punches and the lovely Kraft Taffeta ribbon.

I've been busy this week getting the next birthday party ready. Jamie is turning 8 and having a Dino Disco Party. We've got all the disco things so why not. I'll show you the invites on another post.

Have a great day.

Hi, I hope your all enjoying the weekend. It's a bit wet here today so I'm waiting to hear if football will be cancelled. I hope not.

The card I have to show you today is the one I made for my daughter for her birthday. Inspired by the double fold card Tereesa made for her. I used the Crazy for Cupcakes stamp set (so cute I love it) and the Sweet Always DSP to match the invitations.

Recipe
Stamp Set: Crazy for Cupcakes
Stampin' Write Markers: choc chip, pumpkin pie, regal rose, rose red
Card: regal rose, choc chip, pumpkin pie, whisper white
DSP: Sweet Always

Accessories: grosgrain ribbon pumpkin pie, dazzling diamonds, 2 way glue pen, mat pack & piercing tool

Hi, hope your having a great day. I have two kids home from school today and most of next week, the swine flu has hit the school and it's closed for a week. I suppose it had to happen sooner or later. It's lucky that I work from home and don't have to take time off like some parents have to. They go back to school on Friday for one day then it's school holidays and their home for another two weeks. I'll have to think of some interesting things for them to do like clean their rooms and wash the car. grin My older child is not happy at all, his school is still opened, but for how long!

The card I have to show you today is a Wedding Anniversary card for my Mum and John. I've used my new stamp set Dreams du Jour and I got to play with my new toy the crimper. I love the crimper in the Stampin' Up! catalogue (made by Fiskars) it is so much better than my old cheep one which struggled to crimp two sheets of DSP. This crimper can crimp cardboard from a packaging box very easily and is much wider. I'm going to be playing with it a lot.

Recipe
Stamp Set: Dreams du Jour
Ink: pink pirouette, ruby red, kiwi kiss, basic brown, close to cocoa
Card: close to cocoa, whisper white, pink pirouette
DSP: Urban Oasis
Punch: eyelet boarder
Accessories: crimper, blender pen, stripped ribbon pink pirouette, 2 way glue pen, snips, dimenionals

Hopefully, with the kids home, I'll be able to get some computer time...

Guest Artist - Tereesa Coxen

My guest artist for today is the lovely Tereesa Coxen, new demonstrator. Tereesa made this very cute Kanga card for Rebecca for her birthday. (thank you she loves it) It's a very clever double fold card. Clever because it's easy to do and looks great. I'm sure we'll be seeing more of Tereesa amazing cards very soon.
