Had a coffee...good to go...I've been tagged!!!

I was tagged by Bronny Carpenter and have worked how to do the link thing so here we go....

Apparently, the rules which you must abide by if you are tagged are:
1. Link to your tagger and post these rules.
2. Share 7 facts about yourself: some random, some weird.
3. Tag 7 people at the end of your post and list their names (linking to them).
4. Let them know they've been tagged by leaving a comment at their blogs.

So...7 things about me:

1. I have a Bachelor of Applied Science degree in Food Technology but have never worked as a Food Technologist!
2. I did work experience for uni at the Sara Lee factory here on the Central Coast....many a cheescake went to the seconds shop as a result!!!
3. I am an only child.
4. I lived in Wagga all of my school life, living on the Central Coast is the next longest time in one place.
5. My favourite place to be is with family and friends....after that....Lord Howe Island!!!
6. My favourite colour is green and all its hues
7. My favourite dinner is Chicken Korma - thanks Ally!!

And now...who to tag....Jasmine, Ally, Kendall, Jo, Lisa, Georgina and Cheryl. All wonderfully creative and inspiring.
Have a great day xoxoxo

Celebrate a Friendship

Well this is my card swap effort for this week....having a fantastic time swapping cards each week with two gorgeous and creative friends Ally and Bronny.

It really is lovely to receive 'happy' mail each week and makes me sit down sometime before Wednesday each week and be creative...how cool is that!!! What is also very cool are the beautiful cards I have received in return....creatively gifted these girls xoxoxo

Must say though...don't know how I missed the Ribbon Originals section in the SU catalogue for so long and why I have only just discovered the stampin wheels!!! I will be going through the new catalogue with a fine tooth comb!!!

Thanks lovelies for being wonderful friends and always a creative inspiration xoxoxo

Something Special

It amazes me how many very clever card-making minds are out there. I CASEd the design for this card from Marelle Taylor who is one very switched on lady. I love her creations and eagerly await news of updates to her blog to see what she does next!

I made these cards for two very special ladies I have become good friends with recently - Kellie and Jacqui. It really is nice to sit and make a card with someone in mind and then have the pleasure of sharing the end result with them. Thankyou for your beautiful friendship, may we only grow stronger in it the longer we share it. xoxoxo

One for the girls xoxo

This is a card i made for my beautiful friends Ally and Jas...CASEd the basic design from Ally but changed a few little things.
I used Rose Red, Certainly Celery and Apricot Appeal card, Rose Red & Certainly Celery ink, the Butterflies and Blossoms roller, small flower from the Delight in Life gift set and the butterfly outline from the Love without end set both of which are no longer available unfortunately. However these elements could easily be replaced with similar things from other sets that are out there. The ribbon is from the sweet shop range.

Ally and Jas - Thankyou for being such wonderful, giving friends. I love, love, love our Monday mornings together.

More Gorgeous Grapevine...

Colour variation on a theme with the Gorgeous Grapevine stamps, using the weathered background again with Creamy Caramel card & ink, Cranberry Crisp card, ink and ribbon. Really love my background stamp...who knew they were in the catalogue!!!

Card for Matt

I made this card for my wonderful friend Ally's husband when he went back to "school" for his job and had an exam on the very first day!!!!.

Have used the Gorgeous Grapevine stamp set from Stampin' Up, Weathered background stamp, Always Artichoke and Bravo Burgundy card and inks.
