Hi!

Sorry for the two day break in blogging!!  I couldn’t possibly keep up the daily routine!  Puts way to much pressure on myself!! lol I have been busy in the last few days though with classes and children and general life stuff.  In my alternate reality I would have liked to have spent some quality time in my bed catching up with my reading….alas the real world beckons!

Today’s card is one I made for an interstate friend and fellow SU Demo.  I loved a card she’d made recently and quite cheekily asked her if she’d made it for me…well it did say “my friend” on it….and because I loved it so she sent it to me! Aren’t I lucky?  Anyway, I promised a card in return and asked what her fave things were.  She replied with anything purple and vintage. Oooookay. Neither one of those categories is one I’m familiar with! lol.  So while at retreat I took the opportunity to use a set I don’t own, Established Elegance.  I teamed it with Concord Crush, Wisteria Wonder and Naturals Ivory Cardstock. I can safely say Michelle loved her card, so here it is!

I also used the Top Note Die, some of the Victoria Crochet Trim and the Hello is from a Sale a Bration Freebie called Elementary Elegance.

So while I was on the roll using the Established Elegance stamps I also made this card….in part casing “The” Kirsty Brown and using the sketch from the challenge at Sweet Sunday Sketches .  I used the divine papers from the Tickets & Tags Simply Scrappin Kit.  For only $38.95 those kits are packed full of goodies!!  I love them and I’m loving these papers very much!

So that’s it for this gloriously sunny Friday afternoon.  Have a sensational weekend wherever you are and I hope you get some stamping in!!

Until next time,

Woot!! What’s this make it? Three whole days in a row of blogging??  I am finding however that I just want to show you all the cards I made in one great big hit though! Like an over excited preschooler who got to play with paints and has fifteen paintings to show their mum at the end of the day!!!  Or something like that!! LOL

So this next card was the third challenge of the weekend – use the stamp set that you detest the most.  The one that’s like fingernails on a chalkboard to you!!  For me this set is……Loads of Love. Blech. Can’t. Stand. It.  And for extra bonus points if you could use the colours you hate the most.  I couldn’t be bringing myself to make a Pacific Point/Garden Green truck so I stuck with trusty old Daffodil Delight, Pool Party and lucky Limeade.  I had to make it palatable.  Now before I go and show you my creation, just remember – I am no Alisa Tilsner when it comes to colouring ok?!

At the end of it all I found I really didn’t mind that old truck…so long as it was yellow!! LOL

Until tomorrow!!
Happy Stamping!!
