KWERNER CHALLENGE # 32




I was really excited when i saw these colours very simple but can look really effective!
I used the Merry Merry stamp set for the background stamped on DSP paper and the little snowflake that comes in that set.
I also got out my cuttle bug for the word JOY using thick core card so that it would really stand out.
I really enjoyed making this card really basic but is easy to make a heap of them for xmas,
Well better go and get tea organised,

YUMMY ACETATE BOX'S





Well i am truly over that chest/flu infection and back to the life of blogging LOL.
Tonight i am having a xmas class at my house and i have made these cute little acetate box's to go on the table next to their class packs which i will post later today!!!

KWERNER CHALLENGE # 31




I a'm feeling really sick today :( bad chest infection and i have lost my voice much to the delight of my children and husband, but it hasn't stopped me from doing this challenge, (LOL) now if i had broken my arm or fingers well that would be a different story.
I really love the stamp set Embrace life i stamped the main flower on DSP So saffron Le Jardin!!!
And the photo inspired me to sew beads on the flower and buttons (Stampin up really need to have coordinating beads for people like me :)
Anyway i must be getting back to bed,

GARDEN WHIMSY



I borrowed this stamp set from Tracey and i have had it far too long!!! I thought i better make something before i give it back.
A couple of weeks ago i went to a $3 card day that was held at the talented Megan Finers, one of the cards we made used this stamp set and this cool background using the two square punches, i really wanted to make this card again so
i have just changed the colors, paper tolled out the butterfly and flower and added a little ribbon and hodge podge.
I really enjoy going to these card days, you dont have to think ( sometimes i find that hard lol) about making the cards all the hard work is done, you can try out stamps you dont have, and make as much mess without cleaning up within reason of course!!!
This stamp set is called Garden whimsy and i will be putting it on my wish list for sure, and did you notice the cool DSP paper !!
( also thank you to all the kind people who have been leaving lovely messages on my blog it really makes my day)
Anyway its a lovely day i must get outside,

KWERNER CHALLENGE # 30



Man does the week go fast!!! Another challenge and i adore the colours, The photo of the bedroom with all those lovely flowers all over the bedspread inspired me to use the stamp set"Friendly Flowers" this is in the new mini which will be out in December.
I white embossed the biggest flower in the set white it looks a bit like lace, and then continued to layer the rest of the flower with the other flower stamp sets, adding a old olive felt flower and brad in the middle.
Its a real simple card but i enjoyed making it, Must get outside its a lovely day!!
