Last weekend was so much fun. The Creative Inkers held their inaugural Stamp Camp weekend in Rotorua. A wonderful time was had by all, with lots of laughs, awesome company, too much delicious food and not alot of sleep... Oh, and of course lots of fabulous projects. Thank you so much to all those who organised it and for the wonderful demonstrations we were treated to.
Here are two of the projects we made - the first one was taught by Paula Dobson. It's a cute little Gable box with a matching card using the Sentimental Journey stamp set. As Paula demonstrated, it's the perfect size for filling with little toiletries.
The second project I'm showcasing was taught to us by Jacque Pedersen. The card uses the lovely Presto Patterns Specialty papers which are available for a limited time (until 31 March) from the Summer Mini catalogue. It was the first time I'd used these papers and now I'm hooked. They have lovely range of patterns and there are several ways to decorate them. Gorgeous and easy to use.
And here's a little Valentines treat bag we also made with Jacque. It certainly has the cute factor and would be suitable for lots of other occasions including little goodie bags for parties. There are sweets in the back, which you can't see (you'll just have to trust me that they are there...). Contact me HERE if you want to learn how to make any of these inspirational projects.
I hope your weekend is going well :)
I had a super duper day yesterday as it was my birthday. I'm not going to reveal how old I turned (I'm in age denial), but I am happy to reveal two lovely cards that I received. I think you'll agree that they are both stunning. The first one is from my good friend (and fellow demonstrator) Judy. She has used the stamp set Growing Green. I love the fabulous colouring and bling!
The second beautiful card was made by my lovely friend Sally. She has used a new set from the Summer mini catalogue Easter Blossoms. Isn't it gorgeous!
I've got the back to school panic on now and have yet to hem my daughter's school skirt and buy her stationery. I've a good reason about the skirt though, because there is a 10cm difference in where DD14 wants her hemline and where I want it... and besides that, I swear she's getting taller as we speak, so then I'll need to lower it again by the end of the week, at this rate. Wish me luck :)
