VANESSA & AARONS WEDDING

Congratulations Vanessa and Aaron.

We had a great time at Vanessa and Aaron's wedding. Although the weather was to be very wet the clouds parted and the rain stopped just in time.

Sophie was a stunning bridesmaid.

Here comes the bride. Doesn't she look beautiful.

Mr and Mrs Hunter

The three of us having a great time.

The boys get down with a little air guitar.

Rob and I at nights end.

Here's the card I made.

Our first Stampin Up stamps!

Chantell and I decided to do a card swap using the very first SU stamp set have owned. I was given Canine Capers (now retired) as a gift.

Having a dog running around the house I often get muddy paw prints on the floor (not to mention cat paws). So I thought I would put muddy prints on a trendy trees card with the cheeky culprit peeking around the corner. Hope you like it.

I mixed up a few ideas from chantell to make this birthday card.

Chantell stamped on one sheet of card then cut it up to make several cards. Don't they look awesome!

Thanks Chantell!!

KIDS HOLIDAY CLASS

Wet weather during the school holidays can be such a bore but it's the perfect weather for card making! We had a wonderful time with another kids class.

Here they are with their first finished card.

The kids all put their personality into their frogs. Each with a yummy chocolate inside.

They looked so good you just wanted to lick one!

MINI CATALOG CARD SWAP

Last months card swap with my sister had to use stamps out of the Mini catalog. With so many lovely stamp sets it was hard to chose which ones to use.

Here are Chantell's cards.

This one is using the Great friend set and the Scallop oval punch. She has used heaps of glitter to make it sparkle. (I love glitter!)

The Just Beachy is a fun set. The background is done with the Lazy Days jumbo wheel, a great combination! Thanks Chantell

My cards

I used soft summer for my cards. This pretty set is a two step stampin set. To make the grit I first drew the grid in very light pencil with my ruler, then stamped my image. I then used a fine black pen to draw in the grid lines around the image free hand. Then colour! Very easy and very effective.
I really enjoyed using the In Colours for this card. It's great to see how one stamp can be rotated to make this pretty design.

MIDWINTER CHRISTMAS PARTY

We had a midwinter christmas get together at work, so I made an envelope with a chocolate in for everyone. We had a great night too.

SILLY DOG

Recently our dog Ayla went to play with her doggie friend Astro at his house. Maybe she wanted to get inside the house or followed the cat who knows but when I picked her up she had the cat door stuck on her head! As it took two of us to get it off I had to take her home to get Rob to help remove it.

Thank goodness we got it off without having to cut it. Then we humbly went back and return it to it's rightful place, the house.

SECRET SISTER

My sister Chantell an SU demonstrator in Australia started a secret sister with New Zealand demonstrators. It's so exciting getting card swaps. This is what my secret sister has sent me, aren't they beautiful.

This is made with an envelope, it opens up with a pocket inside.

I just love butterflies, and I love this Good Friend set.

THANKS SECRET SISTER
