Too Many 40th Birthday's

2009-03-30T15:00:00.001+10:00

Too many 40th Birthday's last month.

Not only did I have 3 cards to make, there was also the presents to organise and the parties to attend. One of the parties we missed out on because of cyclone Hamish.

Did I mention that 2 of these birthday's were for both of my Sister-in-laws who have their Birthday's only 2 days apart. Lucky for the family they decided to combine their parties together and what a night.

I can't remember what colours that I used for these cards as it has been a while since I have seen them. If you want to know what I have used please contact me and I will track down the cards so that I am able to let you know.

2009-01-12T08:00:00.001+10:00

The conditions were that we had to use Basic Black, Elegant Eggplant, Gold Embossing and a touch of Real Red, as well as using the packets as inspiration.

Here is my interpretation of the challenge.

It was just amazing how we all interpreted the challenge so differently.

Graduation Card

2009-01-11T15:34:00.001+10:00

When I saw the card that my son received from his Aunt for his Graduation, last year, it look a bit familiar. His Aunt, Debbie M, did this card for our first Team Challenge this year. The stamp that she used, it didn't even register with me. I think that I must have seen it on my blond day. lol.

As usual my photo does not do it justice.

Never-ending Card

2009-01-09T08:20:00.000+10:00

This is the card that inspired my son's girlfriend to make her card for him.

My 8 year old nephew made this card and sent it to my son for Christmas. I don't know if his Mother (Debbie M) helped him at all but knowing him I think that he mostly did it on his own. He did a wonderful job, don't you think??

Christmas Cards

2008-12-26T17:02:00.005+10:00

Yes, I know that the last lot were the 'Last of the Christmas Cards", LOL. But I forgot to make a card for someone and my son and his girlfriend ask me to make a card to give to the other, so these are my very, very last ones. LOL.

I have also realised that I forgot to mention that one of the Christmas cards in the last lot of photo's I was inspired by Karen, sorry Karen.

This is not the best photo as I was running late.

The top two cards were for my son and his girlfriend and the other was for my sister-in-laws family.

My son's girlfriend designed her card for my son so I just copied it for him to give to her because I thought she would like it. She ran out of time to make it herself, so I made it for her and she really liked how they turned out.

KWerner Colour Challenge No. 35

2008-12-17T16:28:00.006+10:00

This weeks photo for Kristina's challenge is of a friend's sweater. I would love to have seen the whole sweater as it looks so interesting and a small snip-it so does not do it justice.

The colours for this week are - Chocolate Chip, Close to Cocoa, Baja Breeze, So Saffron and Very Vanilla. We don't have Baja Breeze so I changed that to Soft Sky.

Here is my entry for this week.

Another Workshop

2008-10-28T07:15:00.001+10:00

Last week I had another booked workshop. The workshop was for a local church Ladies Club which happened to be hosted by my Mum last Thursday morning.

It started off only being for 4 people Monday morning to ending up by Tuesday morning 14 people plus maybe 2 extras. Well you can imagine my mad rush to having everything made by 9:30 am Thursday morning.

The workshop went well and everyone told me that they enjoyed themselves and they liked their make & takes. I think what helped the workshop to run smoothly was that I had double of almost everything that I was using, thanks to the wonderful Debbie M (fellow demonstrator and sister-in-law). Thanks Debbie.

Here are the projects that we made:

Christmas Card that I made for a workshop that I a couple of weeks ago (see First Workshop Away From My Place - Part Two).

A Bookmark we used Groovy Guava and Very Vanilla card stock, Bud Basic stamp set, Basic Outline Jumbo Wheel, Groovy Guava, Wild Wasabi and Soft Sky inks, Stamp-a-ma-jig.

Again I handed out Thank You's to everyone but was limited by time with what I did so I just did was decorated up some Dove chocolate by punching out card stock using the Scallop Circle Punch, 1-3/8" Circle Punch and 1-1/4" Circle Punch. I forgot to take a photo of the Thank You but they were the same as the one's that I made to go into the Envelope Bag for First Workshop Away From My Place - Part Two.

Second & Third Place

2008-09-07T13:01:00.020+10:00

I entered these cards with a few others into a Church Annual Flower Show and these two (2) cards came in at Second and Third places. My Sister-in-law, also a SU demonstrator, got First place with one (1) of her cards that she entered. The idea for both of these cards came from the Stampin' Up! 2008-2009 Idea & Catalogue Book.

I used Time Well Spent stamp set on both of the cards.
