Just Add Ink #45

Hi,
Well i didn't have to try to hard to make a card for this weeks JUST ADD INK challenge.
I have one of my very very oldest friends little boy turning 1 next week and yesterday one of my most cherish girlfriends invited me around to help make her X mas cards all day long.
So while i was in 100% card making mode i made this card.
I had such a great time and the chance to Raid my friends stash and use stamps that i don't have.
Im not going to pop a card recipe on this one cause its a mix of Su and non SU but i was so excited to use "All in the family " to make the little birthday boy on my card(and i didn't use a stamp-a-ma-jig either)
till next time
xxoo

Just Add Ink# 42

Hi,
I've been a little bit absent from the stamping world, we had to focus on starting the renovations for the outside of the house but lucky for me its been a rubbish weekend for it cause it was raining off and on so i had a little time to make this card but Ive only been able to post today,
here's my take on the challenge, i wanted to start experimenting with Xmas cause i still don't have any idea for my Chrissie cards this year. I've been dying to try to make this rosette thing that ive seen in the catalouge and a scowerd u-tube to find a demonstration
i also brayed over the embossing folder image with some ink and a brayer and then used some glitter to make it stand out to have ago at this challenge please visit Just add Ink
i hope you like

Rachel got us to use some shimmer paint which i have never used before. Its a bit hard to see but we have used on the snowflake missed with some nigh of navy ink and on the bauble mixed with some Concord Crush ink

here are the card we made with Rach

Stampin Up Workshop 16-10-2010

Whooo,
I finally had my very first stampin up workshop.
Firstly a very humongous Thank you to the lovely Rachel Jackson for running my party and just being awesome . My friends and family had a great afternoon of girly chat and card making, the conversation seemed to focus on babies as so many of my girlfriends and family are pregnant or have a baby. Not this little black duck(not yet anyway)
i got so caught up in the day i didn't take photos of everyone having fun
but i took some photos of the cards we made and i also made some gifts to thank everyone for coming
Rach made some great cards for us an i think we inspired everyone for Christmas. we also showed that there are some fantastic colors that you can use for xmas not just red and green

till next time
Rach

I have bought some candles from the $2 store and use cherry cobbler and Old Olive card stock and cut out strips of Jolly Holiday DSP , stamped a ornament from delightful decorations and poped a jewel in the middle , wrapped up in some cellophane an there you have it
