New Challenge Site!!

I have just found a new Australian challenge site through Sarah's blog.  How exciting, a group of Australia and New Zealand Stampin Up Gals have got together and started up a new challenge site: have a looky here .  Even though they are Stampin Up demonstrators and primarily use stampin up products you can use any products to enter their challenges, very exciting.  Anyway I am off to play on their very first challenge.

Here is my contribution to Just Add Ink's first challenge for 2010 - JAI1:

Products used primarily Stampin Up:

card stock : So Saffron, Taken with Teal, Rose Red and Whisper White

I have a friend who has just had her birthday but is at the moment on tour in Egypt, so this card will be going her way upon her return.

Have a great day.

More Creating!

Each month I participate in a card swap through the Boxx. This months theme was 'Thank You ' and we each had to make 10 cards. Mine have now been sent off and here is my card.

I used Bazzill cardstock with Kaiser bling and Penny Royale pp with chocolate ribbon and punched a lacy border out of bazzill bling. The stamp is from Stampin up and is on watercolour paper and coloured with stampin up inks.

I haven't done much creating in the last few weeks as I am still struggling with a cold that I just can't seem to budge. I count my blessings that it is not swine flu! The rain has started again and today it is quite cold so trying to keep warm.

Thanks for looking, have a wonderful day wherever you may be.

Pink and Brown!!

The theme is pink and brown over at Theme Thursday this week and as my contribution I have made a vintage themed card.

I have used the new Kaiser papers Penny Royale for this along with Bazzill, some lace, Stampin Up's So Swirly and Short and Sweet stamps, Versamark Watermark pad, Stampin up punch Eyelet Border and pink cone ink. The image used was googled. I also used nestabilities Labels two.

Thanks for looking and have a wonderful day.
