Finally some creations ...
April 24, 2008
Our team meeting went off well yesterday. We had a fun day creating and chatting and swapping, pretty much continuously from 10 in the morning until after 11 at night. We have such a lovely group and it was a lot of fun. I got to finally play with some of my new stamps (and others that people bought along to share!). Here is one of my creations.
This card is made from the Oh So Lovely hostess set and was inspired by a gorgeous card Tracey made as a swap at convention. I have also used the Baroque Motifs set on the background and the Short & Sweet set as the greeting.
The colours are Old Olive, Chocolate Chip and Purely Pomegranate. I love the new In-Colour Double Stitched Ribbon. My ribbon swaps include a pack of 6x2m of each of the 6 In-colours of the stitched ribbon. How these work is I take names and when I have filled 6 places (which doesn't take long) I contact you for payment, place the order and send the ribbon out at my expense. It costs just $17, so email me today for your 6 colours!
Next up we have Boho Backgrounds - a cute little set with four backgrounds including a circle design and a greeting set for just $29.95. I really love it.
I have also used the Baroque Backgrounds Designer Series Paper, the Scallop Punch (yum!) and Short and Sweet again. These colours are River Rock, Purely Pomegranate and Chocolate Chip.
I also have another couple of creations (my favourite card from yesterday and a sort of matching scrapbook page which I will be sending out to my regular customers with dimensions and instructions to say thanks for being my customer. This is on my to-do list for the weekend.
I have a card in 'The Artist and The Stamp' section of Australian Papercraft Magazine. I rarely get around to submitting these days, but I was sent this lovely Rachel Grieg greeting stamp and asked to make a card with it. I quite like how it turned out.
Finally a thank you to everyone for their patience with me over the last two weeks post convention. It has been a crazy busy time with events, birthdays and just 'life' but I got through it and now I can get back to being around a bit more to answer emails!
Have a lovely relaxing long weekend. I will be spending some time with Josh explaining more about the meaning on Anzac Day as he has been very interested and asking questions about the war.Lest we forget.
