A Lovely Surprise

Hello Everyone,

I've been having one of those birthdays that just keeps going.  A couple of weeks later, I've received a wonderful parcel in the mail from Debbie in Alice Springs, that's all the way from Central Australia to here on the East Coast. 

Here are some pictures of what I received.


Isn't this fantastic.  This has been handmade by Debbie.  She is another Stampin Up Demonstrator, like myself, and one very talented lady.  You can view her  blog here:-  http://debbieblake.blogspot.com.au/

But that's not all - what else was in the box, as if there should be more?



Yes, chocolates and a card, everything a girl could want.  I'm so spoilt, thank you Deb.  I love it all.

PCCCSC174 - Merry Christmas

Image
Hello Everyone, Welcome to our Wednesday card sketch challenge at the Paper Craft Crew.  Here's our sketch this week    I'm using some designer papers called Merry Moments combined with Festival of Trees stamp and greeting from Teeny Tiny Sentiments.  The cardstock used is Whisper White and Smoky Slate with inks of Old Olive and Real Red.  The greeting comes from the Teeny Tiny Sentiments stamp set and has been punched out with the Washi Tape punch. Here's a closer look.  I love how the Designer papers add so much colour this this card.  The Festival of trees stamp has been combined with the Tree punch for this card. Thanks so much for joining me this week to view my card.  For more inspiration please visit the Paper Craft Crew challenge and see what our other Designers have created this week. Have a great day.

Light up your Christmas

Hi Everyone, You all know how I love my Easel Cards right?  Well I've added a little light to them in the form of the little battery operated candles.  Neil bought me some boxes of them online.  I've been playing around with a couple of different designs which are for an upcoming class of very Special Christmas cards with my group but thought you might like to see them.  This is the first one I've done using the retired stamp set Christmas Lodge.  It's a gorgeous set with this beautiful tree and really suits a vintage style Christmas Card.  I've also used the Deco Label Framelits which are fast becoming a favourite and the Beautifully Baroque and Fancy Fan Embossing Folders. The Cardstock is Cherry Cobbler, Early Espresso, Crumb Cake and Very Vanilla. I have the light on so you can see the gorgeous effect from the little candle.  Here is a photo when it's off. This is how it looks from the side.  It's like a tent.  Extra card was added to the len
