Regional Swaps

Here are the swaps I made for Regionals this year. Not as many as I would have liked but it has been so busy at work with the Yr 12's that I havent had as much time as I would normally. I also have included a pic of the swaps I received in return. Thanks to all the lovely ladies that swapped with me. I was really impressed with a lot of them especially the Christmas stocking - OMG!!!! Soooooooo much work. We were spoiled this year with our gifts and I was even luckier winning a new set from the soon to be released mini catalogue in December. Cant show you pics just yet but keep a look out in a month. I learnt so much this year and have lots of ideas I want to try. Stay tuned for samples of things I will make using some new techniques.

I had a crack at faux tiling

Probably not my best work but hey I wanted to give it a go. I really love this set and am always trying to find new ways to use it. I stamped this on gloss card after pre scoring the grid, then I sponged the leaves and flowers. Another way to use the colours that inspired this card.
I put this together for a swap within our group. I can't wait to see what the other girls have done...stay tuned.
Here are the photos that inspired this card, it's a bit hard to tell from these but Sage Shadow and Bravo Burgundy was all I saw when I walked in the room - MY GOD! am I a total Stampin' Up! freak or what LOL :) These photos were taken a recent stay in the city for my birthday.

New Summer Mini Projects

Here are some of the cards made using the new stamp sets, embellishments and accessories available in the Summer Mini Catalogue. The beautiful new sets make creating cards, scrapbook pages and projects so easy. To get your hands on some of these today, give me a call to order and take advantage of the Sale-A-Bration promotion too! Or if you would like to hold a workshop and enjoy a creative afternoon with some friends, give me a call or send me an email for bookings.
