Nice and BRIGHT today.  A card for my son whose birthday was yesterday.  Killing 2 birds, we also made this at linc n learn.

I started by colouring in using his favourite colours, then went to grab card only to find I had NONE of EITHER colour!!  He likes to use my card too you see!

Scrounged around and did manage to find enough to for 8 people at linc n learn!  The ladies did add a background on the red, and sponged around all the cardstock tone on tone too.

And then of course he wanted to be a little different and have Lemon Meringue Pie for a cake   (my first ever)

Linc n Learn is now back in full force and I’m teaching again which means I’ll have cards to show you again!!

Gosh it’s been awhile since my last post.

I’m running slightly behind on my Virtual Stamp Club filming due to an unexpected trip to Adelaide, but my Stamp Club members will be happy to know that the projects have been created, and I’m ready to start filming

Here’s a little peek at what is in store for you.

We’ll be using the new Simply Scored for this month’s projects.

If the Hop is going nicely you would have just come from Yvonne Walkers’s Blog and now you get to check out my creations

Friday night a friend and myself hosted our very first social night of stamping and scrapping.  I managed to get a few cards made but can you believe I only got the 2 done in 4 1/2 hours!!  Too much talking and eating cheesecake I think!

Anyway, enough YAK, here are my creations to inspire you.

Using the ultra ‘oooo’ stamp set Bordering Romance, Twitterpated Designer Paper and some of the new Pleated Satin Ribbon.  The sentiments are from Word Play.

And I’ve managed to whip up another card on Saturday  This one has a little scoring in the Pear Pizzazz panel to add some interest. Using the new Simply Scored of course!

Such a yummy set!

Bordering Romance is also the set that we’ll be using for this round of Stamp by Mail, and YES that does mean watercolouring.  Don’t let that scare you, I’ll be providing a video to help you out.

Enough waff from me, let’s now check out what Nicole Stalker has created for us.
