Less than one week to go

Knowing I had lots (oops!) of the island oasis designer series paper left (from the Summer Mini catalogue) I got cracking and made a gift back to give my SIL her birthday present in. I think it looks darling and that I have to make more! Good thing I have a few birthdays in April to celebrate.

Any last minutes orders need to be given to me by 9pm AEST. Contact me to place your order.

 

Materials used:

Cardstock: Whisper white

Accessories: Rose red brads, vintage brads, linen thread, island oasis designer series paper, 1" rose red grosgrain double stitched ribbon (retired)

Apologises for the late MMM. I have computer issues yesterday (viruses) and then today I can't open photoshop elements despite trying to repair it, un-install it and re-install it with the new virus program off and on.... It has has been extreamly frustrating around here I can tell you. I have had to result to primitive methods of editing my photos and consequently, no watermarks on photos.

 

Card sketch blog hop

Blog hopping time again with some fellow Stampin' Up! demonstrators. This month our "theme" is to create a card or scrapbook page using a Becky Fleck card sketch from Page Maps.

 

I made a card for my daughter's upcoming 4th birthday. I know she will look at the card and see the "b" and say that is my name... *Giggles*
