Sale-a-Bration is Nearly Over

Only a couple more weeks before Sale-a-Bration comes to an end.  If you want to see what all the fuss is about have a look here.

Here's another card from the class a couple of weeks ago, have I told you I love the Everyday Enchantment papers yet?

Its been a lovely long weekend here in Melbourne and whilst it was three days at home for the Sadler Gang - it was a peaceful and restful one.  We went to see Melbourne Heart play on Saturday night with some friends, ate Souvlaki's and Cold Rock ice-cream (well the kids did, I stopped at the Souvlaki!), I caught up on some gardening and even managed to clip and wash the two dogs.  I had a visit from my best friend on Friday night and I had a lovely chat with my mum on Sunday;  the kids have just 'chilled' (read .... played xBox or worked and partied!). Even the laundry and housework are up to date.   I am really appreciating it's the simple things in life that make me happy and contented.

My husband is home tomorrow for 12 days - he's on a course here in Melbourne - it will be great to have him home again.  Then he goes back to Sydney for just a week and half as then its Easter and we are going away to Raymond Island - yay :)

Happy Labour day and keep tuned for more inspiration.

Sale-A-Bration Class

I had a great night helping some lovely ladies to create some cards using the Sale-a-Bration goodies - it was great fun and I think everyone had a great time.

This card was inspired by one I found on the net (if you know where let me know so I can leave the appropriate acknowledgement please) - I loved that it included all the ribbons, brads, papers and the lovely Outlined Ocassions set.

Sale-a-Bration will finish at the end of this month so if you are wishing to place an order please let me know - for every $100 spent you will receive a freebie from the Sale-a-Bration catalogue - or hold a workshop and receive even more freebies.  

Happy stampin!

Happy Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's day everyone - I hope you are having a lovely day.

I have to confess that I am not 'big' on the whole Valentine's day thing but it does give me an opportunity to make a card for my lovely husband.

I've used the Sale-a-Bration DSP Everyday Enchantment and punched hearts using the Heart to Heart and Small Heart punches (I keep meaning to buy the Full Heart punch - I often reach for it thinking I do actually own it but I don't LOL).  To emphasise their shape I have 'daubed' around the edges of the hearts with Soft Suede ink.

Once I had attached all the little hearts to the Very Vanilla Top Note die cut, I then 'squished' it using the Square Lattice embossing folder.  I then cut around the score lines and added a Cherry Cobbler Top Note die cut to frame it.   A Cherry Cobbler Tulips Frame and some Very Vanilla Seam binding finished it off with a sentiment from the Teeny Tiny Sentiments set.

Its very girly but is there such a thing as a male valentine's card?  

Happy Valentine's day to you where-ever you are - and yes Sads that includes you mwah
