Joy Banner

Using the Stampin' Up Simply Created Banner kit and Pool Party and Marina Mint ink the JOY Banner evolved.

Rosette Christmas Tree

Winter Frost Designer Series Paper was used for the cool colours. The Christmas Star was stamped in Coastal Cabanna ink and cut out to make a nice big star.

Just for fun I used a jar of mints for the base.

Envelope Punch Board

Christmas is nearly here and I like to decorate the gifts. Here is a collection of  my favourite boxes using the Stampin' Up! Envelope punch board. 

Beautifully Baroque

The tag has been rolled through the Big Shot using the Beautifully Baroque embossing folder. Stretchy ribbon has been added to the tag in Bermuda Bay.

MDS Grunge Photobook - Life is a Beach

MDS Photobooks really make digital scrapbooking easy.  I used one of the pages from the Grunge Photobook and uploaded my photos into the frames and added the wording, done.  The simplicity of the layout appeals to me in this case, especially as it is just one page of a photobook.

Chalk Talk Medley

Beautiful card for a beautiful lady turning 30! Using Modern Medley DSP and Chalk Talk stamp set.

Too Kind

                                                                       I have been lucky enough to have a lot of too kind people in my life lately which brings an abundance of bright happy moments - colourful flowers.

Chalk Talk stamp set was used with black to create the greeting Dictionary stamped firstly for the background and then repeatedly stamping of Too Kind.  The flowers are Strawberry Slush and Coastal Cabanna with the additional Summer Starfruit Flower Shop.  Got to love the stretchy ruffled ribbon trim.

Beautifully Baroque

Beautifully Baroque embossing folder was used to create the first layer and then topped with Modern Medley DSP with the Filmstrip stamp cut out and raised.  The Crisp cantaloupe flower was created by punching out 2 of the new Pansy punch and the Blossom punch with a black circle and large Rhinestone centre.

Enjoy birthday girl!!

My Digital Studio

My Digital Studio has now arrived at Stampin' Up! in the South Pacific and this is my first attempt using the FREE MDS Trial software.  I do need more practice but I was impressed with how easy it is to use and the ability to use the stamps, embellishments and layout to suit my own style. The My Digital Studio software is called MDS (item 130646) and is available as a download for $24.95 and it is loaded with a bunch of content to help you to get started. However if you aren't quite ready to buy, start with the 30-day free MDS Trial (item 130910).

Relay for Life Fundraiser with Elegant Eleanor

What a great night?  We made all the items below at the Cardmaking Fundraiser for the Relay for Life Team that I have been supporting for about 4 years.  The ladies were so efficient that the cards were made in record time. We used the Seasonal Catalogue Designer Kit to make a box with 3 mini cards inside. Summer Starfruit, Basic Grey and Sahara Sand set the colour palette.
