Having a rolling good time!

Well today is the last day of Convention! I wish that I had access to a 'puter while I was away to keep you updated...... but you'll just have to wait.... or check out the blogs of other demo's who do have access....LOL! Today we have more classes and another general session and tonight.... well tonight's the night, as Rod Stewart would say! The big annual Rewards and Recognition Banquet! Well won't it be nice to see 500 people all dolled up and having a great time!

Anyway that's about enough of convention. This is the third lots of cards I made to swap. I really don't like the colours but thought I'd use up some Haiku DSP that I had. I used rollers to make these quick cards. I find that rollers are fantastic if you are in a rush, as they make the best background stamps and fill space just nicely. I made two slightly different cards, for a bit of variation.

I'd just like to say a special Thank you to my friends Julie and Kylie for all the help they gave me in making my swaps. You rock!


Card: Tango Tangerine, Old Olive, Very Vanilla
Ink: Tango Tangerine, Old Olive
DSP: Haiku

Till next time, happy stamping...

An unusual card for me!

Hello my friends!

Well as you all know I am not really an orange person. Not that I dislike it, but I generally choose not to work with it. On this day I was sending a gift of yummy Tim Tam biccies to a Tim Tam virgin. Yep, I was going to try and convert her.

Anyway I thought that I'd use some DSP as wrapping paper and a little bit of ribbon. Now since the wrapping was going to take a whole sheet, I decided to use something that I wasn't overly attached to. So out came the Haiku DSP and I then had to make a corresponding card. Honestly sometimes I think, I work backwards!


This card was actually really quick to make (or would have been if I didn't stop halfway through to chat to some of my online crafting buddies - Hi Jules, Hi Tanya). I stamped the wheel image onto Whisper White and it looked a little bit stark, so I used some daubers to run some Kiwi Kiss over the Kind words.

This was the first time I had used my Boho Blossoms punch which I received for FREE last year during the Holiday Extravaganza promotion. It was so quick and easy to make these flowers and they look great. Expect to see more like this in the future!
