What a Fantastic 2011 Retreat

WOW What Fun we all had, Late nights to early mornings seen LOTS of special projects completed. From 360 degree views, to the most amazing food and LOTS of very busy and creative ladies this really was an amazing weekend.. we had some very cute little locals come to visit and who said big shotting had to be done inside. Treats were made for everyone to enjoy and Thank you to all my ladies for thier fabulous efforts in the Ronald Mc Donald House Scrap card Challenge.

I will be back after retreat with some very exciting news.

I am off to QLD for our Annual retreat. When I get back I will have some exciting news.

A Cute little Christmas Treat-2 Tags Die

After another exciting visit to Costco I have come home with all sorts of yummy Christmas treats. I think this would make a beautiful little Christmas favour. I embossed the 2 Tags Die with the petals a plenty embossing folder.

Some Wedded Bliss..Stampin Up Wedding Cards

I had a request to make wedding cards at a recent workshop. White just creates some beautiful and crisp cards and I must say I was so happy with these cards.

Fifth Avenue floral Stamp Set has been available for a long time now but just looks so elegant when all embossed and mounted above the Manhattan Flower embossing folder.

Letters to Santa - Scrapbooking

The new Stampin Up Designer Series Paper really is beautiful. The Letters to Santa Paper really suits the non traditional colours and I couldn't wait to scrap this photo taken of my boys in 2008. This paper from the pack definately was made for my boys..

October Monthly Challenge...To Use Brads

Brads come in all shapes and sizes and I must say I have a HUGE range in my cash and carry sale boxes this month. To incorporate this Months Challenge with the Cash and Carry sales items I have completed this page with my favourite scrw head Brads. I love these photos of Harry, who said double sided tape had to be used for cards...Harry worked out he could attach his floor mat to his door with double sided tape.

A Sneak Peek for the Retreat Girls.

With only just over 2 weeks until Retreat I thought I would offer all those girls excitedly waiting to come to Retreat a little Sneak Peek of one of the Make and takes we will be Making...

A chilly Zoo review.

From the moment I seen the New stamp set Zoo Review, I knew I had to have it. I am so inspired by Pams Chilly Polar Card that I might just have to have a little play with this fabulous set myself.

Sending all my Love to Special Friends

In the past week some of my special friends have been under alot of stress and pressure so I wanted to make them something bright to cheer them up. Kerry I want your card to find You feeling much better and on the mend, Nadine I hope your dad has a speedy recovery. Greenhouse Garden is a set that has been on my list for quite a while now and I finally went wild and purchased it. I think it is my favourite 2 step Stamping Set and I will defiantly be sharing its possibilities with you.

I recently held a workshop with a beautiful group of girls and we all got to play with the New Build-a-Blossom Stamp Set and Punch. This card also featured the New Scallop edge Ribbon in Chocolate Chip.
