Another 2 weeks....

Well so much for not leaving it so long between posts. It has been a busy 2 weeks, both at work and at home, but it is now school holidays (hooray!!!) and hopefully the next 2 weeks will involve some down time.

On Monday 22nd June I held a Christmas Stamp-a-stack. These are the 2 card designs and everyone made 5 of each.
The first one we used the glitter background technique. It was lots of fun and we ended up with glitter everywhere.

Stamp Sets: Snow Swirled, So Swirly Jumbo Wheel
Cardstock: Riding Hood Red, Certainly Celery and Whisper White
Ink: Versamark, Old Olive and Riding Hood Red.
Accessories: Heat and Stick Powder, Fine Glitter and Rhinestone Brads
The second one I designed for a demonstrator swap. The rules were non traditional Christmas either non traditional colours or a non Christmas stamp set or a combination of both.

Stamp Sets: Circle Circus, Many Merry Messages
Cardstock: Chocolate Chip, Pink Pirouette, Baja Breeze and Whisper White
Ink: Pink Pirouette, Baja Breeze, Ruby Red and Chocolate Chip
Accessories: Spritzer, Scallop Edge Punch, Circle Punch, Striped Ribbon (Pink Pirouette, Baja Breeze and Riding Hood Red).

Below is a card I made for a 2 year old boy using the sketch challenge from Splitcoast Stampers
Stamp Sets: Wild About You, Occasional Greetings and Best Friends Numbers (retired)
Cardstock: Sahara Sand, Ruby Red, Baja Breeze, Whisper White and Sweet Slumber Specialty DSP.

I actually made a few more cards over the past 2 weeks, one for Mum's Birthday and two congratulations cards for Mum and Dad. Wednesday 24th June was Mum's Birthday and also a special night for both Mum and Dad at their Rotary Changover. Mum received a Paul Harris Fellow and Dad received a Paul Harris Sapphire Pin. The awards were a suprise to both of them as was my sister, brother-in-law, Aunty and her husband, my husband and myself arriving at the dinner. But in the rush to get to Bendigo (2 hour drive) I forgot to take photos of the cards. I will try to remember to get photos of them next time I am in Bendigo and then I can post them here for you to see.
