September Card Class

Hello everyone.

I have to say that I've been a bit slack with my card classes lately but better late than never, right? I finally held another class on Friday. The theme of this class was male cards. Here are the night's projects.

The first three were inspired by others' cards:

This first one was inspired by a card I found at Stamper Camper's Corner

Isn't it so cute?

This next one was inspired by a card that I can't locate anymore :( Leave it with me. I'll keep looking for it and I'll post the link as soon as I find it!:

The third card was based on this card on Splitcoast Stampers:

 

 

 And finally here is the last card:

This night was also the night that I launched the new SU Catalogue and Holiday Catalogue. Here are the catalogues ready to be give out, accompanied by a little tag that I created:

Unfortunately, due to the high number of orders from the new catalogue that SU is experiencing, I didn't receive my new goodies in time for my class, so I had to resort to using stamps that I already had. It would have been nice to have been able to show the ladies some new goodies. They'll just have to wait until the next class. And boy, do I have some great ideas for that class!

I haven't listed supplies in this post, so if you'd like to know anything, please just ask.

Take care.

Scrap, scrap, scrappin'

Hello everyone.

Hope you've all had a good start to your weekend. I'm a little tired after a late night of home shopping (Tupperware & jewellery), but I'm surviving! Bet you don't feel sorry for me, do you? Ha ha! Not only that, I had to be up early to drop the girls off at dancing.

Despite my fatigue, I still managed to finish two double page layouts that I started at the beginning of the week. They took me that long because there was so much cutting out, something I used to despise, but now I find that if I take it slowly, it's quite relaxing. Anyway, I did a little each day & now they are finished. I have to say that I'm really pleased with how they turned out.

Here is the left side of the first layout...



This is the right side...


And this is how they join together...



For this layout, I used Urban Oasis paper, Sahara Sand cardstock, Black Staz On ink, FiftheAvenue Floral stamp set & an non-SU alphabet stamp set, Eyelet Border punch,and black ribbon.

Now for the second layout...



This layout was completed with the Organis Outlines and Life Definitions stamp sets, Pink Passion, Wild Wasabi (retired) and Whisper White Cardstock, Wild Wasabi ink and non-SU paper.

See what I mean about all the cutting! Well, what do you think? I hope I've inspired you to catch up on some scrapbooking. I'm almost up to date but with Christmas and all the associated celebrations & activities coming around again, I have no doubt that I'll be lagging behind again all too soon. ;)

Take care.

Andrea.

Another Christmas Double Page Layout

Here is another Christmas double page layout that I just finished this morning...

I really love this soft and pretty colour combination of Chocolate Chip and Soft Sky. I also used the Afternoon Tea Designer Series Paper, Chocolate Chip ribbon, and the Life Definitions and Many Merry Messages stamp sets. The flowers, charm and numbers stamp set are non-SU.

Thanks for stopping by!

Embrace Christmas Layout

For someone who doesn't like cutting, I sure have been doing a lot of it! Look at all these Embrace Life flowers I cut...

I really, really like this layout. I used the Embrace Life and Life Definitions stamp sets, Ginger Blossom paper, Ruby Red & Very Vanilla cardstock, Ruby Red ink, Half pearls, River Rock ribbon, and a pewter charm from my stash.

If you have any questions, please ask.

Bye for now.

Polka Dot Punches Layout

Hello everyone.

I was so glad to get some scrapbooking in last night after a bit of a rough day with Mia. She has a bout of diahorrea, vomitting & a fever, poor little chook :(

So with bloodshot eyes after a sleepless night, I present to you my Polka Dot Punches double page layout. Here is the left side:



And now the right side:



I used:

Stamps: Polka Dot Punches from Sale-A-Bration, Life Definitions
Paper: Le Jardin Designer Series Paper
Cardstcok: Pale Plum, Always Artichoke & So Saffron
Ink: Always Artichoke
Other: tag punches, spiral punch, paper piercing tool

I painstakingly cut out all the Polkadot Punches stamped images by hand as unfortunately, I don't own the 5-petal flower punch. I placed little pink (non-SU) crystals in the middle of the flowers & tied some Always Artichoke ribbon around the heart image.

I must say that I quite like the finished result. What do you think?
