Stamp Club Cards

Hi, I have been home a week now and as I was busy getting ready for a Craft Fair I didn't get the time to update my blog. Anyway I have just taken some photos of the cards we made at Stamp club yesterday so I can show you and also those who missed making them. I have been showing the club different techniques using Glossy White card stock so this month I did crayon resist. I love this set Growing Green so decided to use it. Also it was the only set I happened to have with me at the craft fair when I decided to design the card. Yes I am one of those who leaves things to the last minute, so the day before stamp club I am designing a card ready to teach. I used my new background stamp french filigree and the colours are Marina Mist, Pear Pizzazz and Baja Breeze.
As I had some new ladies at club yesterday I also revisited the Versamark Resist technique and they made some book marks. I had been demonstrating them at the Fair so had some left over kits.

The larger book mark is a case from one of the boards at Convention but as I didn't get the swap I am not sure who designed it.

This is part of our table at the Fair. I shared a table with my friend Richelle. It was freezing as we were near the door and the wind was a cold one. It was the Craft Thyme fair in South Perth.

I hope to show some more photos of my holiday later this week so my family can see them too.
Keep warm.

Snorkelling in Exmouth

Hi, Today I went snorkeling for the last time here in Exmouth. Mum and my cousins Graeme and Sue went down to the Oyster Stacks at 9.30am and had a wonderful time floating along on the current looking at all the beautiful fish and coral. I managed to take some better photos on the mask camera so thought I would show you some of the fish. Since it was overcast it wasn't as clear but still got some OK shots.

Once again I am having trouble uploading photos so will only show 2. I am going home on Sunday. I would love to stay longer but it will also be nice to be home with my family. It has been a wonderful holiday here with my mum and dad.

More Exmouth holiday.....

Hi again, 

Today we went fishing on the beach at sunrise. What a beautiful time to be on the beach. I caught 4 fish and dad caught a shark. It took him over 15 minutes to reel it in.

Shovel nosed shark that dad caught.

Unfortunately this Internet connection is so slow it has trouble up loading photos. I just had a phone call from my step daughter Tish and she is on her way into Exmouth so it will be great to see her and her partner Will.

Hello from Sunny Exmouth

hi there,

I know I said I wouldn't have access to the Internet while up here in Exmouth but I found out after a week of being here that they have wireless hot spot here. I am having a really wonderful relaxing time here. All I have done is socialise with my family, play cards, snorkel, go out squidding with Tom on the boat and lie on my bed and read. 

Yesterday while mum and I were playing cards with her friends it rained quite heavily so I came back to find the front part of my tent floor rather wet. The front section is just fly net. I'm living in this tent but have my meals with mum and dad in the caravan.

This is my home for 2 weeks.

We went to the beach to watch the sunset on the shortest day of the year and I took heaps of photos as usual. The fishing boats look great with the sun setting behind them.

I'm having trouble uploading photos so that is all I will show you today. 

I hope your weekend is going well whatever you may be doing. 

until next time take care

Fast and Fabulous

Hi, 

Another week has flown by. I have had a busy week. I wanted to pop in and show you some stamping before I go away to Exmouth to spend 2 weeks with my mum and dad and also my sister and brother and partners. Mum and dad have been going north for winter for nearly 20 years. This is their last year so I wanted to go up and have a look while they are there. I plan to do some snorkeling, fishing and relaxing. I cant remember the last time I got to spend a full 2 weeks with my family so this will be very special for me.

Anyway I have decided to make some covered notebooks so this is one I made today. I cased the stamped part from a friend who cased it from SCS. I have seen this arrangement a few times. I have used Elegant Eggplant for painting the flowers.

I wont have phone or Internet cover while up there so I wont be blogging for the next 2 weeks. 

have a good weekend

Today I'd like to show you this weeks Sketch Challenge from Split Coast Stampers. I love this simple sketch. I taught it to my friends at the church craft group and my stamp club this week as it was so easy but looks great. I used the technique Versamark Resist on my 2 panels and my new word stamp set Word Play. The image is from Just Believe.I also used the beautiful wings embosslits. I have used Marina Mist.

It looks great in any colour. I hope to do a few more sketch challenges.
Enjoy your week.

hello, I hope you have had a good week. This week I actually did a couple of sketch challenges. Today I am showing you this weeks Mojo Monday sketch.

This is my creation. I have used the Elegant Soiree Designer paper with Crumb Cake and Baja Breeze. I'm a little disappointed with the greeting but I suppose that is OK. I will show you the next sketch over the weekend.
