Colour Challenge

Our current challenge is a colour challenge.  And to use the colours Chocolate Chip, So Saffron and Riding Hood Red.

I had to use these colours for my first Flower Pot card, of course I had to throw in a touch of Old Olive for the leaves.

I really enjoyed making this card.  The flower pots are so sweet, I wish I had've been more onto it for Mothers Day!

So to enter the challenge you can email me a photo of your card or if you have a blog you can add your link to it below.  Have fun and I can't wait to see everyone's creations.

Punch Art

Good morning everyone,

I was filling in 10 minutes before I head out in the rain for some stamping with the m&m's and I came across this on Splitcoast.  There are three pages full of ideas on different ways of using the punches Word Window, Round Tab and Ovals.  Follow this link to take you there.

Web anyone??

Here's the update, although some of the web host places I checked out looked good.  I couldn't find one that would have anything similar to the blog roll.  And since the blog roll is the main feature here we definitely don't want to lose that.  So for now the blog will remain as it is, with the odd change/addition every now and then.

This blog is getting rather big and I was thinking it may be easier for me and everyone else if I changed it over to a web page rather than a blog.  Unfortunately I know nothing about running web pages and the only one I've really looked at is on my Mac using Mobile Me which cost $150/year.

Keep an eye out I may use their free trial and you can have a look at how it would look and work over the weekend.  I would really appreciate feedback on what you think.

If you know anything about webhosting etc please email me nzsublog@xtra.co.nz

Better late than never..

Here's Jenny's Cami card.  I really like how she's stamped the bird showing through.  And I so wish I'd ordered the Afternoon Tea DSP.  You can visit Jenny's blog Stampin by the Seat of My Pants.

Lisa's Cami Card

Tracey's Cami Fold Card

I'm a bit slow getting this card posted, sorry.  Tracey emailed me a few days ago with a pic of ths gorgeous card.  Loving the colour combo.  She's used the cami tri fold.  You can see what else Tracey's been up to on her Blog.

Inspiration - Faux Silk by Sharlene M

It's been a while since we had an Inspiration post.  I love what Sharlene has been doing with Faux Silk technique.  I must admit the first time I tried this technique, I used real tissues and not tissue paper, don't know what that technique would be called!  Here's the link to the Splitcoast Faux Silk Tutorial and here's the link to Sharlene's blog.

Blog Candy

Oops, I'm so sorry everyone.  With getting organised for school and swimming and everything going on I completely forgot about the blog candy which was supposed to be drawn last Saturday.

The winners thanks to my random number picker, aka - Baylee, the winners are Delys and Megan.

So Delys can you please email me at nzsublog@xtra.co.nz your postal address and I'll get your blog candy out to you in the next few days.

Better late than never!
