It's been a while....

...so I thought it was about ime I let you know what I have been up to! April has been an extremely busy month with the launch of the new catalogue, and I have had quite a few workshops keeping me on my toes. Topped with a good dose of Selmonella from eating a chicken kebab (me and a significant number of others it seems!) the time has just slipped away..... But I have not been idle. On the 28th of April, four of us Stampin' Up! demonstrators are going to be at Narara Valley Baptist Church's Car Boot Sale. We will have a stall selling cards and Stampin' Up! products, and booking in workshops. Here is one I created to sell....

Colours: Elegant Eggplant, Whisper White, Rose Red, Pretty in Pink and Old Olive. Roses in Winter stamp set. I found out about the technique of turning the stamp on the paper to get this lovely smudged effect from one of my fellow Elite Stampers, Alisa Tilsner. All Images © Stampin' Up! 1990 - 2007.

So come along and join in the fun! 8:30am to 1pm, 127 Narara Valley Drive, Narara.

Also, the Elite Stampers (the group I belong to headed up by Angela Sargeant - see her blog in my list of sites I frequent) have started a blog called Elite Challenges, which you can take a look at.... http://elitechallenges.wordpress.com. Challenges such as Colour, Stamp Set, or Sketch will be posted every fortnight or so, and the Elite Stampers will upload their creations, so you can get some great ides for your own projects and also some new ideas for colours and sets you have! Due to all the hooha this month in my own life, I have NOT done the current challenges, but keep looking! I will get to it.

Here are some other recent projects for you to enjoy looking at.... The photo is of a make-and-take project I did at a couple of workshops recently. The cute little box will hold a chocolate, or a jewellery box! (Give it to your loved one to fill for you....) Colours: Taken with Teal, Whisper White and Lavender Lace. White Organdy Ribbon, Confetti White tag, copper brad, Word Window punch.
