Short and Sweet..

Just a short and sweet post today.  This is a card I made for a friend, to thank him for doing some jobs around my house a short while ago. The stamp set Totally Tools makes it so easy and was perfect for what I wanted.

Stamp Set: Totally Tools
Cardstock: Chocolate Chip, Cajun Craze, Very Vanilla, Crumb Cake
Ink: Chocolate Chip
Accessories: Jumbo Eyelet, Twine, Crimper, Distressing Tool (Cutter Kit), Modern Label Punch, Twill Tape.

If you're coming along to my Autumn/Winter Catalogue launch this afternoon - I'll see you soon.  If you haven't booked in yet and wanted to come, contact me now because there are still a few spots left.

Have a great Saturday :)

You're a Star!

This was the card that my younger daughter Bridgette made for her Dad for Father's Day. It took a bit of cajoling to get to her sit down to do so, but I think she actually enjoyed it in the end.  Of course, she'd never admit to it though. It was cased from Andrea Walford and I think she did a pretty good job. 

I must have been feeling in a very kind mood when I encouraged Bridgette to make her Dad a card, because I let her use my very special and all time favourite designer paper, Parisian Breeze. It retired some time ago and I'd never even used it...not one piece. I'd get it out of its bag and look at it longingly, but could never quite bring myself to cut it up. Is that wierd or what??

Stamp Set: Totally Tools, Classic Stars jumbo wheel
Cardstock: Crumb Cake, Whisper White
DSP: Parisian Breeze (retired)
Ink: Chocolate Chip, Baja Breeze
Accessories: Chocolate Chip 3/8" Grosgrain Ribbon (retired), Blender pen, Styled Silver Hodgepodge hardware, Clips Assortment, Circle Scissors plus.

Delectable Sweet Treats..

I've got a Sweet Treats class on tomorrow night and the hardest part is to decide which cards we're going to make. We're spoilt for choice because there are lots of very cool ideas around and the possibilities are endless. We might make this one which I cased from Ann.  Isn't it fabulous!  Thanks so much Ann. Check out Ann's blog HERE.  Gosh, I better make a decision soon.
