A carousel of a different kind........

You may remember a stationery carousel I made a little while ago, well I took the same idea and used the mechanism for my latest UStamp project. This was a carousel deisgned by Betty Traciak, one of the designers over at UStamp, and I thought it would be fun to add the spinner to the bottom so it actually spins and I have used some of the SAB sets with some Washington Apple DSP. I am really loving pushing myself to not use PINK and I think I am doing well (New Year's Resolution on track) The SAB sets are perfect for these little 3" x 3" note cards. I have also used the Sweet Treat Cups form the Mini Catalogue around the edges and filled them with buttons and little punched flowers. Thanks for looking.

Another purse with cards

Followers to my blog will be very proud of me - LOOK, NO PINK!! Here is my latest project from the great team at UStamp with Dawn and Friends. Becky Roberts has delivered yet again an awesome Tote and Cards Tutorial. If you wanna get your hands on this get on over to UStamp, it's not too late to join the fun. I sat down last night after a very hectic first full week back at school and but as tired as I was I just had to get creative to wind down from the crazy week.

I dont have the papers Becky used so I adapted to my favourite DSP at the moment, Urban Garden. I have used the new SAB sets Happy Moments and Whimsical Words. Dont forget these are the sets that you can earn for FREE with any $100 order. Click here to see the full brochure on the sets you can choose from.

New year, new site and new challenges...

Here is the first challenge from a new blog for Aussie and NZ stampers - Just Add Ink. This site is brand new, just started TODAY! They are going to have heaps of different challenges so get on board to jump start that creative talent. Oh and the bonus is there are FREEBIES to be won too! Now these colours are totally out of my comfort zone and great for my 'no or little PINK new year's resolution'. This is also satisfies my desire to complete more colour challenges this year. After being away all week on holiday I had to jump start my creative spark again and CASED this to come up with this card. Yet another way to use these gorgeous new SAB sets. Bring on Monday I say for the best promotion of the year! I will be making the most of my last two days before I go back to work (nothing like work to shock me back to reality) so this weekend will be packed full of posting - stay tuned.

11 Days to go...

This week I have made some cards using a different SAB set - this time I have used Happy Moments. A really cute little set and a definite must for all those who love to colour out there.
