daring seethrough cards

Daring cardmakers challenge - using something remotely see through. Since there are a couple of family birthdays coming up this month I got to make use of some of the gorgeous Junkitz transparent ribbon - cupcakes, celebration words & some flowers.

I'm not sure what happened to the full pic of the '5' card - lost between picasa & blogger :-( but you get the picture right?

I just HAD to use the new embossing folders for my cuttlebug (thanks Andrea). both the '5' & the word 'seven' were cut with the cricut but the '5' was cut & then went through the cuttlebug - love how these two tools can work together :-)

I've been playing with both the May SBO kit & with some of the Queens Birthday Weekend Challenges over the last couple of days. Will share soon :-). Can't wait to play with the June kit as it is freezing here at the moment & just seeing all those colours warms me a little.

I've also been mulling over make & takes/classes for the Bannockburn July retreat. I think Tanya Leigh is going to do one of the make & takes using products from Meg - can't wait to see what she has up her sleeve for us! Shout out to Nik who's in the other island at the moment - miss you but hope all is going well - also want you back soon! Must say I wish I was free to go to the Scrap Camp with Lianne & Yolande - & many other scrappers I come across at the end of this month though!

Finally getting some of my unmounted stamps sorted properly with some help from a folder & storage cards from Debbie. also needed some butterfly stamps she had there....

OK, need to leave here as it's too cold & my hands are feeling very chilli!

These cards are just brilliant. And they solve the "but where do you write?" question beautifully!

Purging

The stuff can take over.  My stuff was covering my work surface and much of the bedroom floor.  I had to do a big sort out. I was brutal.   Stuff...ready to go. I packaged it in some storage totes I had that needed a new home (I’m waiting for my new CTMH travel system to arrive) and listed it on s local trading site.  It’s gone now. It doesn’t look pretty but I have a desk space and things are organised. The rest of my supplies now fit in this cupboard. Since the ‘purge’ I have had the space to create.  It feels good and it’s great to be able to get to my desk. A few pages made since the tidy up...and a box of 20 cards!

my week so far...

This week is turning out great!  Having time on Monday (Otago Anniversary Day) to scrap with Lynley was just the best beginning!  Lynley was putting together some beginner class stuff that she intends to do soon – it looked great!  I got home to an email from The Scrapbook Outlet NZ asking if I would be a casual/oncall designer for their Design Team – of course I accepted – can’t wait to learn from Rach , Donna & Shani!  Then today I get an email from Jo (subeditor @ Up2Scrap ) accepting one of my submissions – I did send a few mind you so as you can imagine I’m buzzing!  I have packaged the LO ready to send tomorrow after Playcentre. Need to get back to reality though – Mum & Dad’s 50th Birthday this weekend, have to work out what I’m going to say, sort some table decorations & not to mention some way of sharing pictures of them when I only have Friday night & Saturday to do it!  Have to do some Playcentre Admin work this ev...

Market Day

Sadly Lynley couldn't join me today as her dad is unwell :-( Was up rather early this morning (i.e. didn't get to bed till when some people are getting up on dairy farms) getting everything completed, packaged, priced etc for today and the organisation paid off as setting up was easy and had lots of sales :-) These photos are courtesy of Miss 8 who helped me set up this morning. Jase helped with the prep too and put these flowers together (as instructed). Off to make dinner, need sleep.
