Triple Time Field Flowers for SC 64/12

Today's card is another using the Triple Time Stamping technique.  I am entering this into the current challenge over at Sunny Challenges.

I love how this turned out.  Still clean and simple, but shows off the technique nicely :)

I kept the inside very simple, with plenty of room to write your message :)

Thanks for stopping by.

Ornament Keepsakes

Have you seen this card made by the super talented Mary Fish?  Pure gorgeousness!  One of those cards where as soon as you see it you know you just HAVE to make it yourself!

Sadly, I had used all the designer series paper that Mary used while making my Christmas wreath, so I had to change that aspect, but I still think this one works.  I also left the buttons off my card.....my bow turned out perfectly and I didn't want to risk messing with it to place the buttons!!

Love love love the matching framelits for this stamp set!

Thanks for stopping by.

Two by Two was one of those stamps I just had to have when I saw the new catalogue :)

I can't believe how crooked my ribbon looks!  It's really not at all.....must be that dodgy photographer at work again!!!!

I kept the inside super simple.

I'm really pleased with how this card turned out.  I think it's perfect for welcoming any new bubba into the world, boy or girl!

No Peeking

Today's card is a case of this gorgeous card :)

I changed the sentiment part, and Julie used markers to colour the different parts of her penguin, but I took the easy way out and paper pieced!

That penguin sure is cute!

Christmas Wreath

I'm sure you will excuse the lack of blogging from me lately when you see the pure gorgeousness I am here to share with you!!

Didn't I tell you???

The wonderfully talented Sophie from Stampin' Up! demonstrated how to make this wreath at the Melbourne Heartfelt event I attended, and it's been on my to do list ever since!  Lots of work, but well worth it I am sure you will agree :)

I am running a workshop so you can make your own wreath on Saturday 3rd November 2012.  Places are limited, and RSVP's close on Monday 22nd October.  If you are in the Melbourne area and would like to attend you can RSVP here.

Thanks for stopping by.....and I will be back tomorrow with something new to share :)

How cute is this purse?

Super cute yes?  So is the bookmark!

....and the card.....

I already know that my ladies love it!  I'm looking forward to making it with them on Monday :)

Another Kusadama Ball

After making the Kusadama Ball for the Melbourne Heartfelt Stampin' Event (you can see it here) I knew I needed to make another one to keep and show off!

Scentsational Gingerbread Man for ISSC33

Last night I was catching up on my Google Reader and found this sketch over at iSpy Sketches.

I love how it turned out, and will be using this sketch again for sure!

Scentsational Christmas Tree

When I first saw that one of our new in colours was Gumball Green I thought yuk!  I will freely admit it...I'm just not a green person.  Basically, if it's not Old Olive or Pear Pizzazz (which we just said goodbye to....insert sad face here) then I'm just not interested.  BUT.....now that I've used Gumball Green.....I think I like it!  In fact....I think I REALLY like it!  So watch this space, because you will be seeing LOTS more Gumball Green I think!

Gumball Green with Cherry Cobbler.....who could go wrong with that combination???

How cute is that Christmas tree?  Want to know the best bit???  Every stamp in this set - Scentsational Season - has a matching framelit in the Holiday Collection Framelits pack :)  Yep, that's right....no cutting out required!  Love it!

Heart of Christmas

It's taken awhile, but I am finally here to share some of the gorgeous new products available in our gorgeous new catalogues!

I love the elegance of this card!  Isn't the Lacy Brocade embossing folder just gorgeous?

I kept the inside super simple, just mimicking the layers from the front of the card and adding an extra layer of Very Vanilla to write on.
