What a FABULOUS weekend!

Hey everyone!

Yep! That’s right I had a fabulous weekend at the craft show! I met a whole heap of new people, not just customers but also other stall holders. I forged some awesome friendships this past weekend and it was very exciting!

Here is a few pics of my cute little stall

Next year I will have a bigger stall with room to play and show some techniques to some people! I must admit it was a learning curve and I can only improve it from here!

I have gone Art Journal MAD!!

Hey everyone!

Yep! That’s right I have officially gone MAD! When I start something new I have trouble moving onto something else, until I’m sick of it that is. I have two more Art Journals to show you……I hope you like them!

I love these books. They are so easy to decorate and your crafty side can just go wild!

Here is a closer look at the pink one-

and of course the blue/grey one-

This is the first time I embossed onto DSP. It’s no different to embossing on cardstock, but I just love the mix of the pattern and embossing. Like double imaging if you will. I used the big bloom out of the Fifth Avenue Floral SS and clear embossed it. It looks absolutely beautiful in life. I might even keep it for myself….hehe!

Oh well heaps more to do for the up coming craft show….so better get moving.

Another Art Journal!

Hey everyone! I’m so very excited right now. Some of my closest friends are taking me out tonight for my birthday. We are going to the Plough Inn for dinner and then meet up with some more friends over at Laidley for a get together. It is going to be sooooo much fun!

Today though Tina (one of my co-conspirators for tonight and also one of my downlines) and I had an absolute laugh stamping and crafting for the craft show I will be doing next week. Tina has been a little out of the craft circle of late and was getting the hang of it again. We have belly aches from all the laughing. Here we are with our daughters who so kindly made us some of our own crowns, just to prove we are the queens of craft. LOL!

Of course I wouldn’t let you go without seeing that art journal I promised you in the title…

I decided I wanted the chipboard cover to be my base. I love the simplicity of it…don’t you? The only ink used was on the feet of the owl. The rest is DSP and Rub-ons. Too cute!

Well I’m off to get ready for tonight.

Inkspiration Sketch Challenge #15

Hey everyone! It’s Friday all ready, can you believe that?! I know I’m having difficulty thinking that. I’m also having difficulty believing that there is only 8 weeks exactly until Christmas. I have my daughters fairy Birthday party to organise yet. I have the cake and venue organised, but we need to invite some people to this shindig or it will be a little quiet at the party. Not too mention my daughter will be very upset. So today I think I will start designing a beautiful fairy invite for the 20 kids on her fairy list….LOL!

Anyway onto this weeks challenge-

A square sketch challenge! The last time I did one of these I decided next time I would do a scrapbook layout……well it’s next time and here is my creation-

I have not done one in a while, and I’m happy to say it has sparked my interest again. So you might see some more pages from me soon.

• Stamp Set- Baroque Motifs, Best Yet and A Rose is a Rose
• Cardstock- Chocolate Chip, Riding Hood Red, Kiwi Kiss, Bella Rose DSP and Whisper White
• Ink- Riding Hood Red, Chocolate Chip and Kiwi Kiss
• Accessories- Scallop Circle Punch, Circle Punches, Kiwi Kiss Corduroy Buttons and Linen Thread

Don’t forget the rest of the DT-

• Makeesha
• Cindy
• Amy
• Renee
• Chantelle
• Sarah-Jane

I finally get my new phone today. My Nokia I have now is getting a bit old. I was going to get an iPhone but ended up deciding on the Blackberry Bold. It seems to have exactly what I need. Also I will be keeping my current number so contact details will not change. Guess I will be playing with that today as well as the fairy invites!
