A Gift from Julie.

Another weekend over with a new week beginning. I picked up Alex's new computer yesterday so now he can play his new game Sims 3 and now I'm not bugging him all the time to get off so I can get on. Yeh!!

Anyway I want to show you the gift box Julie (Stampin Up Jewls) made for me. She is so clever and very good with a craft knife. She used the Playful Petals stamp set. I haven't even opened it to see whats inside :) I just like to look at it. A lot of work and love went into making this box. Thank you so much Julie.

Mojo Turns 100 Day 7

I had a play with Mojo Mondays sketch - Mojo Turns 100 Day 7. As it's time to start thinking about Christmas cards I decided to make a Christmas themed card using the Season of Joy stamp set (one of my favorites for Christmas). This took a little while with inking all the edgers in Choc Chip ink with a dauber. But I think it was worth the effort. I also added Crystal Effects to the flower.

Recipe
Stamp Set: Season on Joy
Ink: choc chop, riding hood red
Card: choc chip, riding hood red, kraft, very vanilla
Punch: 1/2" circle, 1 1/4" square
Accessories: dauber, jumbo brad, twill tape, crystal effects, dimensionals

Thanks for looking.

String Spinner Card.

I've had lots of fun lately making string spinner cards. This one is using the Tart & Tangy Stamp set with Tangerine Tango, Kiwi Kiss and Choc Chip card stock. The punches used are scallop circle, 1 3/8" circle and 1 1/4' circle. And just for some extra fun the tangerine spinner part is embossed with a mix of clear embossing powder and orange tang. So it's now a Scratch & Sniff String Spinner Card.

Jamie's Dino Disco Party.

Hi, I got Jamie's Birthday Party scrapped recently and I quite like how it turned out. I used Circle Circus stamp set in the back ground and DSP Good Morning Sunshine. The amazing Dino cake was made by my good friend Maree (thank you). She tried to made it as much like the invitations as she could. She did a fantastic job and it was very yummy.

All the kids had a great time, even Nana joined in with the games.
