As promised, here's the second vintage card we made at Sunday's class. With a little help from my Big Shot, it wasn't as time consuming as the first card we made. Do you recognise these butterflies? They're from the Kindness Matters stamp set, found on page 71 in the new catalogue. This set ticks all the boxes for me because there are images and messages and I love the font (even though I haven't stamped a message on this card). The best part of all, is the price $21.95 for clear mount or $27.95 for wood for 5 stamps. You can't beat that!!

I had a lovely group of ladies here this afternoon and this was one of the cards we made. I'm really pleased with how it turned out, because as you know, I don't often have time to create my own designs and generally CASE (copy and share everything) my projects from other talented demonstrators. It was quite time consuming to make with the tying, gathering, piercing, cutting, layering, and distressing {phew!} - but worth it in the end.

Isn't this card gorgeous! It's a swap I received from Katrina Criglington at the Fun Day out, a few weeks back. I love Wisteria Wonder and Pink Pirouette together - it makes for a very feminine and elegant card. Many thanks Katrina!

I had an eventful evening last night and one, I'd not like to repeat. I spent 5 hours at the hospital as my daughter Nicole had a car accident. I don't think I've ever moved so fast when I got the phone call but fortunately other than minor injuries with stitches in her arm and back, she was okay. She was really shaken up as you can imagine and felt very fragile and tender today. Her little car wasn't quite so lucky and is a write off, so somebody was looking out for her - thank god.
Did you get time to watch any of the rugby over the weekend? I enjoyed watching the All Blacks play on Friday night and had to laugh when Sonny Bill got more cheering just by running onto the field (obviously from the females in the crowd), than when a try was scored! And, what about Ireland beating Australia!! That's put a spanner in the works and is certainly making it an exciting competition.
Have a great week everyone!!
This was a cute card that my wonderful upline Karen, showed us at our PaperKRafters Team Training a while ago. For those of us not able to make convention this year, it was great that we got to have a sneak peak too.
I'm just letting you know now - that I love, love, love this set so you're going to see lots of it. Don't say you weren't warned :)

It was my good friend (and wonderful upline) Karen's birthday last week. This was the card that I made using Nature Walk (I told you I was going to get a lot of use out of it). I've inked up a clear block (size D) with Crumb Cake ink to create the background and am quite happy with how it turned out, especially when it was another late night creation.

We had our paperKRafters team training last weekend, organised by our illustrious leader Karen. It was a really fun afternoon and Karen taught us two great projects (which I'll showcase at a later time). We also made swaps and for my swap, I used Nature Walk (the stamp set I won at our Regional Training) and the new Framed Tulips Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. I sponged around the edges of the frame, which makes it really stand out.
