Published work…..
Hey peeps,
I hope you have had a great start to the week! I had a power day today and managed to get so much done all before lunch too! I love it when that happens.
I have had something to show you for two weeks, and am finally getting the chance to post about it. Recently I was asked to participate in a Stamper’s Showcase for the Australian Stamping and Papercraft magazine. I was sent a stamp from Motivet and had to create two cards using it.
Here is what I came up with…..
The front mag cover and my two cards…..
This first card I made using Chocolate chip cardstock and different shades of the Good morning Sunshine dsp from Stampin’Up. The image I have coloured with my Copic markers on some X-press it blending card. I added the kiwi kiss satin ribbon attached to a mini paperclip, some paper piercing and the spiral edge punch for embellishment.
This next card I created on a base of Basic grey cardstock, layered with some Urban garden dsp from Stampin’Up. I have stamped the same image and have watercoloured it with my stamp pads and aquapainter. The greeting is from the Really retro stamp set from SU. I added some pewter brads, and the basic grey taffeta ribbon as embellishments
A small view of the magazine spread….
Thanks to Australian Stamping and Papercraft for the opportunity to create, and share my creations with others….
Hopefully i get to stamp tonight or tomorrow… really feeling the need to get some brand new stamps dirty…finger crossed I actually make something decent enough to share with you all!
Talk soon!
Hey Keesh
How awesome to be published. Congratulations!! I must go and get the magazine and you can sign it for me when I see you. That way I can say I know a star
These are gorgeous cards as usual and your colouring is just beautiful. I just bought some of that xpress it blending cardstock, it’s great isn’t it?
I hope you’ve had a great day, I know you like to get lots accomplished on your Mondays, so hopefully you’ve managed to do that. I’m looking forward to seeing your creations with the brand new stamps, I hope you do get to your craft room soon.
Have a great week.
Love and hugs

Just doing my bit to get you “back in the saddle” so to speak:-)) In all seriousness, I hope you find your mojo again real soon and have a lovely time with all your gorgeous new goodies. Cheers! xL
