Stampin' Up! Australia: Claire Daly, Stampin' Up! Demonstrator Melbourne Australia

More new creations ...

Here's another card I created while away at the retreat.

Need a quick Mothers Day card? Doesn't get much quicker than this. Just a few bits of patterned paper from the lovely Spring Silhouettes Designer Series Paper and some matching Wild Wasabi and Soft Sky cardstock. I have used the scroll from Baroque Motifs and the greeting from Occasional Greetings, both new Stampin' UpI sets. It would be so easy to recreate this card with 2 scraps of patterned paper and 2 matching cardstock colours. Make sure you email me your versions!

See you back here tomorrow! I have some more projects for you!

Back home ...

I had a lovely relaxing weekend away with friends in Lancefield. Beautiful venue, beautiful food but most of all a group of great friends I have known pretty much since I started scrapbooking 5 or 6 years ago. It was lovely and the break was wonderful - I even recovered my voice (which is a wonder given how much talking and laughing we did).

As promised I made lots that I will be positing each day this week. I'll start with this double scrapbook page I made using the gorgeous new Outlaw Designer Series Papers. Love the colours in these papers and they suit black and white photos perfectly. This layout captures precious memories of growing up on a farm. That's me with my pony Bambi, and also me in the front of the tin horse trough with my sister Kate, paddling down the creek.

I had lots of fun stamping on this layout. I ended up using three different stamp sets - Baroque Motifs (the swirl), Touch of Nature (the quote and bird on the branch) and Stamp of Authenticity for the journalling. I am really excited about everything Stampin' Up! has to offer scrapbookers this year - I can't wait to show you lots of ways to use our products in scrapbooking. I also used the Scallop Punch to highlight the first word of the title. Here's a couple of close ups of the page:

Here's one of the cards I made as well. I am really loving working with new In-Colours. This card is River Rock and the poppy is water-coloured using the Purely Pomegranate ink pad. This Stampin Up set is Oh So Lovely, one of the level one hostess sets. You can't buy this set, but it's easy to earn it for free by collecting a few orders from friends worth $300 - you'll also get a free catalogue and $30 free merchandise for your trouble! This is called a catalogue party and is easy and fuss free. Email me if you'd like to earn this set.

Other supplies I have used on this card are the matching River Rock double stitched ribbon, the Baroque Backgrounds Designer Series Paper, the Scallop Circle Punch and the great circle greeting set which fits the scallop punch perfectly - Think Happy Thoughts.

I have lots more to show you so pop back tomorrow.

Stay happy,

Claire xx

Cough, cough .....

Been MIA this week. Have had bronchitis and still cough cough coughing. Now I'm off scrapbooking for the weekend (if I could only stay awake). Back Monday happier and healthier. Promise I'll have some stuff to show you soon :)
