Now I've started.........

Now I've started on the christmas cards, it's hard to go on to something else.

The stamp set used for both cards is Season of Joy.  I think I'll be using this set a lot.

Both the front flower and the front tree use dimensionals to pop them off the card.  

The Invisible Frog

Spot the frog!

My husband was taking photos outside the China Pavilion at Epcot.  A lady stopped to see what was so interesting.  "Ah a frog," she says.  My hubby looked surprised, he hadn't noticed the frog he had taken a photo off, he was so busy concentrating on the lily pads!  Hence my title The Invisible Frog!

I've used all Stampin' Up! products in this layout  and really enjoyed stamping the flowers at the bottom.

I don't know if you can see from the photo but I have handwritten the journaling.  I don't mind using my own handwriting.  I know some people don't like to but I think it makes it more personal.

Techno Phobe

Technology and me are not a great mix.  I've been trying to network my blog to facebook and it's just not happening the way I'd like it to.  So back to things I can do...

This card is using Fox and Friends stamp set from the mini catalogue and the background was using the Whimsy jumbo wheel.  I stamped the sentiment from the On a Pedestal set.  So a little bit of everything! 

Christmas in August

If you make your own Christmas cards, this wont seem so strange.  This is the time to start thinking about those special seasonal designs.

However I couldn't quite bring myself to use traditional colours.  My husband doesn't think it looks very christmassy.  What do you think? 

Exciting News

A new card making class is starting at Kingswells Community Centre, Aberdeen starting Tuesday, 26th October from 1.30pm till 3pm.  The classes will run for 3 weeks and will be christmas themed.

So if you are a member of the Community Centre why not register your name and make some cards in time for christmas.  Contact 01224 741806 to sign up.

Starting Stamping

Since starting with Stampin' Up! all I've wanted to do is play with my stamp sets.  Here are a few of the cards I've created so far using the Queue Up stamp set and the Simply Said stamp set.  Let me know your thoughts....

Whole lot of Firsts

It really has been a whole lot of firsts this last month. First time I've had a blog, first time with Stampin' Up!, first hostess party, first training day, first order processed and first time we have walked all the way through the Burn o' Vat.

Can really recommend this last walk, the children loved it, scrambling up over boulders and climbing waterfalls!
