Happy Anniversary To Me!!!

Good day to you out there in blog world.
As you read this I will be on my holidays with the kids for a week.
As the title says, it was my 13th wedding anniversary last Friday and of course I just had to make a card
for the occassion.
My inspiration came from Jenny Moore for the design of the card.

I really love the colour combo of Real Red, Basic Black and Very Vanilla.
I used the Aviary, For A Friend stamps and Well Scripted.
The DSP is retired but goes well with the colours I've used.
I am so happy I've learnt how to tie a bow and will have to show you all in a class one day.
Well I hope you all have a nice week.
When I return I will be getting together some Christmas card class. I know it's not what you want to think
about right now but if you do it bit by bit, it's not such a rush when Christmas is finally here.
Glad you could stop by.

A Little Birdy Told Me

Hi everyone.

Well I have been away for a while as I celebrated my 40th birthday on the Gold Coast, Queensland. It was a surprise put on by my husband and had a fab time. Spoilt rotten is the only way to describe it.
After coming back home it was back to reality with kids back to school and my youngest child starting this year (sniff sniff). He surprised me how ready he was for big school and that he didn't need me, so much anymore. It is such a relief.
Now I have been glued to the news about beautiful Queensland going through more devastation. They've had to brave a Cyclone going through North Queensland and though it is not as bad as they first thought, it still looks bad and it hasn't stopped yet. So we are all thinking of you at this terrible time.
Time to show what I have been doing.
I have sent these cards out to customers to inform them of our current promotion which is Sale-a-bration. This continues until the 31st March, 2011.

This is a great opportunity to earn free stamps. For more details check out my website by on the right column.

The stamp set I used is Aviary and the colours are from the Brights collection.
Thanks to those of you for stopping by and have a great day.

Thanks Big Time

Well what I have to show you today is a card that our team member Kerry Bunting came up with the idea for.
It is a Sketch Challenge and this is what it looks like.

So I had a go myself and this is what I came up with.

To kill two birds with one stone I needed to make Thank you cards for those who were so kind to send
lovely gifts for Christmas. It was also a good excuse to use the new Aviary Stamp Set. So cute.
Enjoy looking.
