Friends

Hi everyone,

 

It has been an interesting week, I have been in Melbourne and on the return trip unfortunately we were delayed about 2.5 hours getting back to Sydney on Tuesday night.  As there had been a Security issue in Sydney earlier in the day.

 

At one stage we were told that we would not get back to Sydney before curfew (that’s 11 pm) but we did get back with about 15 minutes to spare.

 

So many people were inconvenienced and some have only just been reallocated flights, so I cannot complain too much.

 

With the late return on Tuesday night and trying to squeeze in 5 days of work into two on Wednesday and Thursday, I have not had a much time or energy to do any crafting.

 

But this evening (Good Friday), I have managed to create a quick card for the following challenges:

 

Card Patterns Sketch 111

 

 

 

and Flutter by Wednesday open challenge and with this challenges there is always a need for a butterfly but for me that is not hard :)

 

and Just Add Ink – Mateship/Friendship for Anzac Day challenge

 

My card has some of the wonderful Elegant Soiree DSP and I taken the colour inspiration for my card from this paper which is Baja Breeze, Soft Suede, Crumb Cake, Very Vanilla and Basic Grey.

 

 

Supplies:

Stamp set: Great Friend, Hello Again

Card: Very Vanilla, Soft Suede, Crumb Cake,
Ink: Soft Suede, Baja Breeze

Accessories:  Lots of Tags Sizzlits 4-Pack Dies, Dimensionals, SNAIL Adhesive

 

 

I have used Soft Suede for the base of my card and the friendship sentiment from the Great Friend stamp set.

 

I had forgotten about the Lots of Tags 4-Pack Dies which go through the Big Shot and make a quick label for any card or creative project, so I am happy to have used it in this card.

 

Let me know what you think by leaving a comment and don’t leave it too long before your next visit.

 

Have a great Easter!  Meg x

Great Friend

Hi everyone, thanks for visiting once more and seeing what I am up too.

 

When you are reading this I hope that all is well and that you have managed a little time to do some creating ?!

 

I have created a card using the colour inspiration from Scrapmaster’s Paradise and the sketch layout from Sketch Frenzy Friday.

 

Below are the challenges and you can visit each site if you click on the image:

 

 

 

I have used Basic Grey for the base of my card and some of the Lap of Luxury DSP.  This is such a great colour challenge, as the colours compliment each other very well.

 

 

 

 

 

Supplies:

Stamp set: Great Friend, Every Moment

Card: Pretty in Pink, Very Vanilla, Basic Grey
Ink: Basic Grey, Pretty in Pink

Accessories:  3/8” (1 cm) Pretty in Pink Taffeta Ribbon, Scallop Edge Border, Mat Pack for Paper-Piercing, Lap of Luxury DSP, Dimensionals, SNAIL Adhesive

 

 

 

I haven’t really used the Every Moment stamp set but I think it suits this layout and of course the verse from the Great Friend stamp set, just adds that extra touch :)

 

Let me know what you think by leaving a comment and thanks for visiting once more.

 

See you again soon….. Meg x

Every Moment Sketch Challenge

On Saturday I attended the Stampin’ Up Regional Seminar in Sydney.

 

During the day there was training, make and takes as well as some wonderful presentations from other demonstrators and Head Office Staff.

 

One of the presentations was on Water Colouring and Masking.

 

I had forgotten how much I enjoy water colouring, so I came home last night and used the Every Moment Stamp Set and did some water colouring.

 

I created a card for the sketch challenge which has been displayed on a site called ‘Create with Connie and Mary’. 

 

The sketch challenge is number CCMC 125 and you can view the sketch by clicking here.

 

As I am water colouring I have stamp my image with StazOn and then I have picked the colour up from the ink pads with my Aqua Painter.

 

The sketch layout has been created in a Portrait layout but I have created my card in a landscape layout.  The card uses two of the new In Colours ink pads – Pear Pizzazz and Peach Parfait.

 

This sketch is very versatile and I will definitely use it again.

 

 

Supplies:
Stamp set: Every Moment, Great Friend
Card: Basic Black, Pear Pizzazz, Peach Parfait, Whisper White
Ink: StazOn Jet Black, Peach Parfait, Daffodil Delight, Pear Pizzazz

Accessories:  1/4” (6.4 mm) Basic Black Grosgrain Ribbon, 3/8” (1 cm) Whisper White Taffeta Ribbon, Scallop Edge Border Punch, Dimensonals, SNAIL Adhesive, Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folders, Basic Rhinestones, Uni-ball White Signo Gel Pen, Aqua Painter

 

 

Let me know what you think of the end result by leaving a comment or if you have any questions on Water Colouring, you can email me by clicking here.

 

Thanks for looking and until next time – keep creating!
