Animal Stories

I borrowed the Animal Stories stamp set off a friend (*waving* at ya, Janine), and thought I had better use it before it is not available for purchase anymore.  It is in the Summer Mini Catalogue, so if you would like to purchase it you only have until Wednesday to get your order in.

How cute is that elephant???  Certainly cute enough to justify another card!

I think he is just adorable!  I'm sure he will be just as cute in pink for a girl bubby card, but I haven't got around to doing that yet!  I am in love with the embossing folders for the Big Shot too, so you are going to be seeing a million things made using them soon!

Thanks for looking,

Sweet Treats

I made these two cards a few weeks ago while planning for our January workshop.  I love how they turned out, especially the balloon!

They are both filled with confetti!  Making these was a bit of a learning curve for our ladies, but their cards all turned out fantastic!

Love You

I finally have a card to share with you today!  I haven't dropped off the face of the earth, just been really busy with school holidays and preparing everything for our workshop tonight.  I am really looking forward to catching up with this wonderful bunch of ladies and having some stamping time!

The card that I am sharing today is super super super simple....yes....even for me!  It took me longer to get the ribbon in the right spots than it did to do the rest of the card!

My new Heart to Heart punch arrived yesterday, which I have been dying to play with.  It has been on my wish list ever since the current catalogue came out, along with the Full Heart punch, which also arrived yesterday!  I love having new toys to play with!  I love the ribbon behind the punched out hearts!  I was inspired by a card in the Summer Mini Catalogue, but haven't cased it because I don't have the catty with me (I'm stamping at mums house in the peace and quiet while Dylan has a carer today!).
