Stationery Kit

At the school where I work, everyone is rostered to provide a prize for a raffle once a year.  I like to make something using my SU! goodies and this year was no exception.  I made a set of cards using Fifth Avenue Floral in a folded compendium and a little bag of choccies.  The initial idea came from Andrea Walford, but I've added a few extra cards and increased the size of the compendium, so they could all fit.  

The designer paper I used has  retired and fortunately I still had a piece of Kiwi Kiss ribbon to match. 

I didn't realise that I hadn't gotten around to photographing all of the cards, but you get the general idea anyway.  

Stamp Sets: Fifth Avenue Floral, Thank You Kindly, Upsy Daisy

Card Stock: Crumb Cake, Kiwi Kiss (retired), Whisper White, Baja Breeze
Designer Series Paper: Urban Oasis (retired)
Ink: Basic Grey, Kiwi Kiss (retired), Baja Breeze
Accessories: Blender Pen, Manhattan Embossing Folder, Crumb Cake Taffeta Ribbon, Silver Brads, Scallop Oval Punch, Scallop Punch, Baja Breeze Striped Grosgrain (retired), Flower Fusion Too (retired).


Check back in a day or two, because I'll have something to show you from my Vintage class which is on tomorrow.    


Enjoy  your weekend :)

Upsy Daisy Calendar

I've been back from Sydney for exactly a week as of this evening.  I stayed on for an extra week after Convention which was amazing and thoroughly enjoyable, but I feel as though I hit the ground running on my return. Thank goodness this has been a long weekend, because at least I've managed a bit of a catch up and feel as though I'm back to some kind of normality. 

Anyway, back to the task at hand.....I received this lovely calendar as one of my swaps from convention. It was made by Lana Harvey from Australia (check out her blog here) and was a favourite with my daughters, fellow demo's and myself.  I love the colours used which are Pink Pirouette, a touch of Pixie Pink on the tips of the flowers and Old Olive.  The little butterflies are from the Cottage Garden stamp set. Not sure if you can see the background which has been embossed with the Big Shot Manhatten Flower die. Totally gorgeous!!
