Well it is time for another fun sketch this week…….YOU will want to head on over to Chantelle’s Blog today as she is hosting the challenge and has added a fabulous twist for you all……
I hope you are well and looking forward to the weekend. What a week it has been! First I had our 12 year wedding anniversary, then my birthday, and also Book week for the kids. Not to mention all the prep for the Stamp-a-thon as well. Not long now till I leave for Perth…. Sunday actually! I am very much looking forward to seeing my family and friends again. Elijah is having some kidney surgery on Tuesday as well, so hopefully that all goes well…..I tell ya it feels like the world is whizzing by at the moment. I am looking forward to being able to stop and smell the roses again (translated to stamping again!)
Okay so lovely to see those colours in action this week, so beautiful creations this week people!
This weeks Inkspiration winner is the fabulous creation from Karen Thomas! Her work is always stunning! Here is the gorgeous creation:
The Honourable mention this week is by Kez for this gorgeous baby creation!
Super cute Kez…
Thanks to everyone who played this week, your creations were really beautiful! Okay so that is the round-up for this week. I will be back with the newest challenge in a short while.
Well that turned out to be quite the week for me! I have just spent the past 3 days on Elijah’s School Camp. We were camping up at Cape Tribulation in the Daintree Rainforest. At first I was really sceptical about the whole event, I mean I had to drive 2.5 hours with 7 boys in my car, and they didn’t provide ear plugs!!! Not to mention Camping is not really in my resume either.
So how did it go? ….it was a blast! I actually really enjoyed it. We had a tight schedule with so many places to visit and things to do, it was exhausting, but very very enjoyable. I was all set to have this post up last night, but came home with a nasty headache so went off to bed early. Feeling much better now which is good.
Since we arrived home from our big trip to Canada etc… I feel like I have been chasing my tail constantly. First all the unpacking and what not, then being terribly sick for 10 days, followed by the Stamp-a-thon prepartaions, and now camp! It has been great but I do really look forward to the days where I can be on top of everything, and also have some stamping time too! I am sure you are looking forward to seeing some creative work too one of these days! Well I promise peeps, it will come, I just have the Stamp-a-thon, my birthday and wedding anniversary along with my trip to Perth to get through, and I promise the creative days will be back!
So onto much more interesting info, the newest challenge for you all! This week we have a colour challenge, and these colours are beautiful together! I hope you love them as much as I did…

Well I am back with another challenge for you all this week. I really hope you feel inspired by this one and enjoy getting creative with this sketch. I know I did. MAN OH MAN, was it hard getting out the stamps and making this card, my very first in two months!!! I feel so rusty and completely uncoordinated!!!! Just picking the dsp was really hard, and took me nearly an hour! Hopefully this coming week I get to stamp some more and I won’t be so freaked out by it all! lol!
Okay so the sketch this week is as follows:
Here is my sample for you…..
I don’t have a video for you this week, as getting the card made was enough challenge at this stage…..fingers crossed for next week!
This is Helen Heil, our wonderful Guest Designers creation for you too…..

WOW it is hard to believe it is Friday again! After being away for 6 weeks, and then sick for a week, I have been sooooo far behind on everything. Thankfully this week i have been catching up, and getting things for the Stamp-a-thon organised. Not long now people, so be sure to get your registration in! Places are filling really fast which we are really happy about. If you were thinking of coming along please register as I hate to turn people away! But with all that I have had no time to stamp, actually I am a bit afraid of starting again!
So it seems that either this was a TERRIBLE colour combo, or you just have been so super busy that you didn’t get to play along,…… I am thinking maybe the first reason was it because it ran for two weeks! Never mind, those that did manage to play along certainly did make some beauties for sure!
The Inkspirations winner was this gorgeous card by Iwona Palamountain. I adore the colouring in this one!
Then the Honourable Mention is the darling creation by Natasha Murray. I love the weaved background she created, very neat!
Thanks to everyone who played along, I and the DT really appreciate it!!!
Stay tuned for the newest challenge coming up in a minute.
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight” - Prov 3:5-6
“I have a wonderful, full life, with a fab-o hubby, 4 delightful children (yes I did have them young!) Tiarne 10, Elijah 8, Malakai 6 (aka Mali) and Janaya 4 (aka Jaye). These special peoples keep me very busy with all sorts of activities, some fun, some not so fun! I am also a lover of books, movies, chocolate, music, and that art form called STAMPING~! You will often find me in my stamping nook, with a big mug of English Breakfast tea, iPod perched in my ears, singing away much to my husband’s dismay! What a joyful life I have been blessed with. I hope you enjoy my creations as much as I love sharing them with you!”
