Another challenge... am I on a roll?

Guess what? I am back.... but I think this is it! Three challenges in two days! I will need a little break to get over this creative juice flowing.

Okay so this was another first for me, entering Friday Mashup #19. I've been checking out other people's entries over the last couple of months and hoping that one day I'd get a chance to give it a go.


This week's Mashup was Butterflies and Bling, or Marina Mist, Perfect Plum and one other colour.

I decided to mash them all together. Yep, I included them all.


I added the colour Rose Red to make it super pretty. I did my Dazzling Diamond and Crystal Effects trick again. It is just so much fun!

Card: Very Vanilla, Marina Mist, Perfect Plum, Rose Red
Ink: Marina Mist, Perfect Plum, Rose Red
Punch: Photo Corners
Embellishments: Rhinestones
Ribbon: Rose Red 1" Double Stitched Grosgrain
Stamp Sets: Precious Butterflies (hostess), Flight of the Butterfly

Till next time, happy stamping...

Inkspirations - Sonia style

I am hoping that my formatting will behave today... but no telling until I type a few lines and hit preview. I've checked it out and it's misbehaving again... Grrrr! I'll try and perservere and get something up here for you.... however it may be short and sweet!

This is the project I created for Inkspirations 4U. It's a cute 3" square pizza box, with a recessed lid. I nearly forgot to show it to you! How silly of me! I just loved this Sale-A-Bration set! I honestly don't know how I am going to work without it in the future! Oh that's right, there are heaps of yummy new products coming.... Be sure to come back to check out the new products tomorrow! Till next time, happy stamping...

More Secret Sister goodies

I have been holding out on you..... my secret sister recently sent me a card and a gorgeous brag book. I was absolutely thrilled to receive them. Even the postie waited until I opened them, as I had been stalking her while waiting for these. And yes, she isn't a cardie, like me but she loved them.


I have decided that my SS likes butterflies, because I have received lots of cards with them on. This is excellent, as I like butterflies too.

The picture below is the brag book opened. It is just so cool! I am definitely going to case this, so look forward to seeing my attempt at this lovely peice of work.


One of the fantastic things about receiving these RAK's is guessing all the pieces that are used to make these items. It certainly helps to improve my knowledge of all our products. Again I am going to attempt to tell you everything that my SS has used to make these, but haven't been able to locate them all. Maybe you can work out the bits I can't and leave a comment.

Card: Chocolate Chip, Pink Pirouette, Kraft, Pumpkin Pie
Ink: Chocolate Chip, Pink Pirouette
DSP: Sweet Always
Ribbon: Pink Pirouette 5/8" striped grosgrain
Punches: 1" Circle, Trio Flower, Round Tab, Eyelet Border
Embellishments: Button Latte, 5/16" Chocolate Chip brads
Stamp sets: Flight of the Butterfly and ???

I have a fantastically easy card coming up in my next post to show you, so I hope you drop in again soon.

Till next time, happy stamping...
