Just Add Ink Scrapbooking Challenge #18 - Just Add Milestones

Well I just downloaded MDS today (My Digital Studio by Stampin' Up!) and had my first play. Since the theme was milestones this month over at Just Add Ink, I thought I would have a go at making a page about Madison's Year 12 Ball - definitely a milestone for her!

Supplies: MDS Digital Software by Stampin' Up!

And here is my second card for the Freshly Made Sketches challenge. I have flipped the sketch on it's side for this card and used the blackboard technique for my main sentiment panel.

Supplies:

Sentiment Stamp: Stamp It

Paper: Kaiser Summer Breeze 6x6 pad, Vanilla and black cardstock by SU!

Other: Stitching, white embossing powder, scallop border punch by SU!

Freshly Made Sketches #88 - Card 1

After a couple of weeks away and having been struggling to find any creativeness at all lately I finally stepped into my craft room last night (after a thorough tidy-up!) and made a couple of cards for this week's sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches.  I thought I would start off with something simple and this sketch was perfect.  I have used it in different ways on both of my cards. This is the sketch.

Here is my first card. I have used versamark with embossing powder for the sentiment, heart and border which gives the whole card a nice sparkly look.

Supplies:

Stamps: My Favorite Things

Cardstock: Stampin' Up!

Other: Dies by My Favorite Things, toffee apple red embossing powder, clear polysparkle embossing powder, versamark ink, scalloped border punch by SU!

Just Add Ink Challenge #166 - Colour Challenge

Hello friends!  So sorry that this post is very very late. But I have just returned from 10 days in Brisbane visiting family and attending the Stampin' Up! convention with my lovely JAI friends.

Here is a pic of all of us with the beautiful Shelli Gardner of Stampin' Up!

The convention was wonderful and I can honestly say I haven't laughed that much in a very long time. It really was a much needed break and I must admit, it is hard getting back into my usual daily routine.

So while I was gone, we had a new colour challenge over at Just Add Ink.  Here are the gorgeous colours:

And here is my card.

Supplies:

Stamps: My Favorite Things

Paper/Cardstock: Stampin' Up! 

Ink: Stampin' Up!

Other: Twine, rhinestones, stitching

And you have until Wednesday 29th May to play along in this challenge, so I do hope you will join us!
