Helping Hudson - A Wheely Great Cause Challenge

Well it is the turn of Stampamemory to host a challenge to help the Helping Hudson - A Wheely Great Cause event happening this month. 

The challenge is to scrapbook a moment in your life involving WHEELS - could be your first wheels, your child's first driving lesson, your very first bike, or how about some roller blading antics?

And here's my page, this is Kieran age 15 months in September 1999.  When I saw these photos I couldn't believe that I had forgotten that my lad was this small and cute ...

I made this page last week, before I knew that the Just Riding set was on the Last Chance List.  I coloured the wheels using the marker pens and punched them out with a 1" circle punch.

I have been dying to use the red floral paper from the Pink Flamingo paper set (which is currently 50% off) - and the Summer Sun and Brilliant Blue I have matched with it are both colours on the Colour Renovation Farewell List .... I couldn't' have planned it better if I had tried could I.

And here's a close of my gorgeous little lad - look at those chubby legs and rosy cheeks :)  Thank god he doesn't read my blog - he'd kill me for saying things like that.

So how can you enter the challenge .... hop on over to Stampamemory and enter your page, if you don't have a site and want to be in a with a chance to win some of these yummy prizes email me a photo of your page and I'll load it up onto the Helping Hudson Challenges site.  

Don't forget to check out the Helping Hudson a Wheely Great Cause site - there are packs of tutorials for sale including a yummy scrapbooking one - ten tutorials for $10.

  

 

  

Colour Renovation

Have you heard the latest from the world of Stampin' Up! .... the colour families are having a face lift .... yes that's right out with some old and in with some new - it is very exciting.

Now firstly don't panic .... this won't happen until 1 September when the new Ideas Book and Catalogue is released - so plenty of time to get used to the idea and farewell the outgoing colours. 

I am so excited abut these new hip (can I say hip ... is that cool?), colours and there are even some old in colours returning.  I can't wait to get my hands on Early Espresso and Daffodil Delight!  Here's the new Colour Collections Chart ...

Now for all you Kraft lovers out there - don't panic ... Crumb Cake is the 'new' Kraft .... phew!

With all these changes there are of course, lots of new items - so watch out for news of new colour kits, Stampin' Up! markers for all the Core Colours, Stampin' Pastels and Watercolour Wonder Crayons.  There is also an awesome new Colour Coach tool that will make choosing colours so much easier.

So plenty to look forward to.  I think I'll miss Ruby Red the most, oh and Taken with Teal ... I've only just started using Taken with Teal :o)

As with all changes there are often questions - please do email or phone if you have a question (0428 254 952) - only too pleased to help.

Back in a couple of days with some more Autumn Winter Mini creations.
