    Kirsty – you overachiever, you!!! Those two cards are making me flip out! They are so cool!!!!

    I love the hot air balloon and the way you made your sentiment and the pretty papers you used. The result is so delicate!

    And that Christmas card… All of the elements work together SO great!!! I really like that big striped ribbon and it looks fab used on this card.

    Wow. Color me impressed! :D

    I just love your two cards that you made using that awesome sketch. The Sweet Slumber paper was one of my favorites last catolog. I was sad it had to end. I have been following your blog for a little while now and I just love all your projects. I am more of a scrapbooker and have recently been into cards but I don’t do so well at creating them on my own. I can knock out an original page but the card is intimidating…LOL…go figure. Anyway I have been venturing out more and sketches really have helped me. Sorry I didn/t mean to be so gabby, chalk it up to summer vacation and I have 7 kids and they are ALLLLL home…lol…you have a great day and I look forward to seeing more of your cute cards.

    Great cards! I have all the supplies on your sweet slumber card, but would never have thought of such a creative way to use them!

    Love both of these cards, they are totally awesome! I adore sweet slumber papers, so that is my fav, but you made the santa set look so much more appealing than in the catty! TFS

Hi, I am a Independent Stampin' Up! ® Demonstrator in Gatton, Queensland. I'm married with four beautiful children, Sean, Jemma, Akayla and Darcy. I absolutely love scrapping and cardmaking and try to do both as often as possible. With four kids that's probably why I'm 6 years behind in my photos....lol.
