Annual Catalogue Launch

Hello Everyone,

I've had a very busy lead up to this year's launch, and feel like I could  sleep for a week now that we're done. Actually, I came home and had a little nanna nap truth be told, while my children fended for themselves.  They polished off a packet of Tim Tams while I was asleep.  

It was a very enjoyable day and great to catchup with the girls socially too.
Here are pics of some of my displays

These were some of the products appearing in the Holiday Mini catalogue together with some cards I've made with the Scentsational Seasons bundle.

These are a collection of cards I made with the Patio Party Designer Series papers and In Colours from the Annual Catalogue.



The next pictures featured Floral District and Comfort Cafe Designer series papers, In Colours and new Stamp Sets Layered Labels and Betsy's Blossoms and the last picture shows the In Colours, mainly Primrose Pink with the Fabulous You (shoe) stamp set and Kindness matters stamps set (3 butterflies) coloured with markers.

I have made so many cards in the last few weeks, I don't think I'll need to make any more for a month.  There are lots of ideas for classes amongst these already, and I think the girls were impressed with my display.

Finally, I had a little competition running to guess the total length of the ribbon in this jar

Can you guess?  There is actually over 33 metres of ribbons in here, 33.07 mtrs (metric) to be exact.  This was won by Marian who guessed the closest 33.45 mtrs.

There was plenty of opportunity to socialize, look in the new catty's, have a delicious morning tea and place orders. 

Please feel free to leave a comment, I love reading them.  Thanks for looking.

    Wow that Marion is good! And what a fantastic display! I am sure they were impressed. I can't believe how many cards you have made. Incredible effort. No wonder you needed a sleep. Vx

    You should be renamed Carolyn Fantastic. How on earth did you manage to prepare so many samples/displays. I am having a group uplines and sidelines Catalogue Launch this Saturday and I haven't started on my allotment yet. I've been cyber hanging too much. Guess I'll have to burn the midnight oil between tomorrow and Saturday.

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.

Music Teacher Farewell // Paper Players #173 Shaped Card Challenge

Hello Everyone, It's a sad week for my daughter and her friends who have really enjoyed what the music program offered them at the High School this year.  Their very talented teacher will be moving on to a new school and they're having a little party for their last day of the Vocal ensemble practice which was an extra activity that he undertook with the students, as well as teaching them to play all sorts of instruments in lesson times. His speciality though, Guitar!  I have decided to enter this card into the Paper Players Shaped Card Challenge this week.  While not specifically made for the challenge, I think it's a pretty cool shape and fits the criteria.  I also think more people deserve to see this card. When asked to make a card for the group to give him, with that in mind I found some inspiration on Pinterest and came up with this card. The hardest part for me was getting the shaping right, and I had to call on my Artistic daughter to draw the edge as I d

JAI176 - Just Add Blokes & CCMC 2nd Entry

Image
Hi Everyone, I thought this weeks Just Add Ink challenge - "Just Add Blokes" was a great opportunity to get in and make a Male card .  For those of you outside Australia, "Blokes" is another name for Men. Today I'm using Mosaic Madness bundle set teamed with a greeting from Loving Thoughts stamp set.  I don't understand why, but the simplest cards seem to take me the longest.  I agonise over them, and yet I can make something much more involved quicker, when I have a clear vision in mind. I've taken the colours for this card from the colour challenge this week for Create with Connie and Mary so this card is doing double duty for both challenges. Here we are The cardstock is Berrmuda Bay, Basic Black, Whisper White and Smoky Slate per the colour challenge.  Here is a closer look at the Mosaics.  The Bermunda bay one is raised on dimentionals. This picture below gives you a closer look at the greeting. Thanks so much for stop
