So say hello in the comments box……don’t be shy!

 Hello my friends!

What a fabulous Saturday it is in Perth. The weather is glorious today! I have been working in the Fruit shed today, and whilst it isn’t my favourite place to be, i thorougly enjoyed myself grading, packing, and stickering the trays of Sweet Persimmons. I will try to take a pic one of these days and share it with you. I suppose I do need to enjoy it because it is going to be the last time (hopefully) that we will be running the Fruit season here!

Anyway time to share with you the page I have Scrapped of Janaya for this weeks Scrap it Saturday!

Using my all time Favourite Colour combo for the moment, and the Sweet always DSP from Stampin’Up, I have scrapped this page of Janaya. I also dressed it up with the Scallop border punch, Regal rose grosgrain ribbon and the Always stamp set Birdie and gretting. I am pleased with how this turned out in the end.

My sweet monkey…….ALWAYS!

I will be be back to chat about the next round of MYSTERY Blog Candy! woo hoo!

Hope you are all having a great Saturday~!!!

 WOW WEE, it is Day 5 for the parade, and well this is it everyone, the last projects that I made for Convention! This is actually a bit of a hodgepodge  of things that I had made.

I had a great time reading all your comments today! It really seems that you all have the Colour combo, and layouts as your strengths, but sooooo many of you said watercolouring is NOT your strong point! hmmmm, it seems I may have to do a few tutorials on that one, which is great feedback!

But first off the Blog Candy for Day 4! YAY the fun part

So Random. org has picked number 3!

• Random Integer Generator

Here are your random numbers:

So that would mean that the winning comments is this one by Kathryn Mangelsdorf…..Congrats Kathryn, you have won a set of Aquapainters, and pack of watercolouring paper from Stampin’Up!

Kathryn Mangelsdorf

Hi again Keesha,
Love the cards with all those lovely ribbons, they are my favourite embellishments.
Now my strong point - I think I find good colour combinations and designs
The weak point - definitely is colouring (watercolouring I seem to get the colours too strong or not strong enough).
I just love to learn new techniques.
Thanks. Kathryn

If you could email me Kathryn so that I can get your address to send your goodies that would be great!

Okay so we have one more question! Be sure to leave a comment and answer to this question because this is it folks…….the Grand Prize entry for the Big Blog Candy tomorrow!!!! So you don’t want to miss out!

Q. If there is one thing you would like to achieve in your life, what would it be?

Now or the last Convention Project Parade!

Number 1:

Here is a fun card using the Cheers to you stamp set, and the Sweet Slumber specialty DSP paper pack, I have added some Baja satin ribbon which is from the Ribbon Original pack from Stampin’Up. The glasses have been dressed up with some Dazzling diamonds glitter. The scallops at the top have been made using the slit punch.

Number 2:

I love these little peanut guys! hehe. This is the That’s funny stamp set from Stampin’Up. I have used Not quite navy, Tangerine tango, and Kiwi kiss, with some Whisper white for the colour combination. I stamped and cut each peanut out and mounted it with dimensionals. I added a fold of Kiwi kiss striped ribbon, and some paper piercing for embellishment.

Number 3:

Hey this looks very similar to this weeks sketch challenge…! WOW! So for this card I have used the Tres Chic background stamp, with the Sweet stems stamp set, both from Stampin’Up. I combined it with the Raspberry tart DSP and some Rose red cardstock. The ribbon is the Kiwi kiss striped ribbon.

Number 4:

Love the new Totally tools stamp set. This card is very simple, perfect or the no fuss type of guy. I have used the Windsor knot DSP with Chocolate chip and Whisper white cardstock, embellishing with Saffron brads alongside the greeting.

Number 5:

then last of all I created two scrap pages. For this one of my darlings, I have used Kiwi kiss cardstock for the base, and some strips of the Good morning Sunshine DSP. I dressed it up with the spiral punch, Tangerine tango striped ribbon, and the Cheep talk stamp set from Stampin’Up which I have stamped and cut out.

Number 6:

Here is a photo of Rod with his parents and 5 brothers………! They are all best of friends which is so wonderful. I have used Pacific point, Riding hood red, Bashful blue, and Kiwi kiss or the cardstock. I added some Bashful blue striped ribbon, and brads for embellishment, and I rolled the background with the Watercolour vine Jumbo roller. Lastly I added some text with small strips of Whisper white cardstock.

Okay so there you have the Convention Project Parade! i hope you have found the project inspirational, or even just make want to pull out your stamps, and cardstock!

DONT FORGET - Sunday is the last day for the two specials for May, which is to Buy 3 packs of DSP, and get the fourth free! Also the amazing Demonstrators Scrapping Kit, to join Stampin’Up for $150!

 Hi again!

Well I hope you are all well. It is friday again, and that means Inkspirations Challenge time!

This week we have a new sketch for you all. I really loved working with this sketch and I hope you all do too!

Here is the sketch:

My sketch inspired creation:

This card is for my very dear and gorgeous friend Charmaine, who’s celebrating her birthday today! Char, LOVES birds, and so I think she will (hopefully) like this card. Happy Birthday Charmaine!

Now for this card I have used the Friends 24-7 stamp set. I stamped the Damask on the background with Baja breeze ink, and then I have inked up the bird with my markers. I have first stamped it onto the Whisper white cardstock and then again, cutting the bird out and mounting it with dimensionals. The DSP paper on the background is from the Urban garder paper pack from Stampin’Up, which I have mounted onto Pink pirouette cardstock. The ribbon is the Baja breeze striped ribbon, which I dressed up with a button from the Button bouquet set also from Stampin’Up.

Please be sure to check out the design team girls because I know they will all have some amazing creations for you too!
