Big Day Out Swap

Well I'll be having a great time by the time you read this post :-) at a Stampin' Up! fun day.
The first photo is my swap card, I hope they like it! and I can't wait to see what swaps I get back, so excited to be meeting everyone in real life rather than just online x

The second 2 photos are a specail vintage set I've made my lovely upline Paula Dobson because she's driven me up to Auckland and her folks are putting me up and she's lovely- waving at you Paula xx

No doubt over the next week I'll be sharing some of the cool stuff we got up too.

Masking Challenge

Wow- your White on White entries last week were all so pretty.
Our next Craft Room Challenge is here and Esther has chosen a technique challenge-Masking- I use this technique a lot, but for this card, I've just done simple masking to create the hills, and to mask the hills when I used a big Pine tree Stamp to create the little pine trees on the hill.
I have to confess that after our polar Antartica weather last week- with snow in our neighbourhood like that not seen for 70 years- I've been inspired to start my snowy christmas cards :-)

Here's some photos of the snow at our house last week, soooo pretty.

You can just see the roof of my studio- looking all snowy.


And I love how the trees look covered in snow- here's a corner of the garden.

Just Add Ink #81- Colour Challenge

Bron has chosen this really pretty Colour Combo for this challenge- my card also has a slight Indian feel which I just love :-) I've clear embossed onto Very Vanilla, then sponged and over stamped. This new Stamp set Delightful Dollies is really versatile and pretty.

Details:
Sneek Peek- Delighful Dollies
Clearly for You. French Foliage, Oval all.
Organic Grace (retired)

White on White

Wow, we are already up to challenge number 6 at Craft Room challenge Nikki has chosen the theme- White on White and the DT have made some gorgeous creations make sure you check them out and join in the fun.

For my card I've added texture with an Embossing Folder, disressing and stamping the main image with glitter- I think this is a perfect wedding card for that specail couple.

Just Add Tearing, Distressing...

I'm thrilled this month to be a Guest Designer at Just Add Ink the ladies are there are a talented bunch. For my first challenge of the month it's Just Add Tearing, Distressing. Which is right up my street. I've created this Bon Voyage card for a dear friend and work colleague who as we speak is now enjoying the European Summer!

Happiness is....

I'm joining in the fun at The Paper Players again this week- there's a sketch from Nance. This is what I've come up with.
Have a great week everyone, and remember that happiness is often to be found in the simple pleasures of Life, like the scent of a rose.
