Dinner

Well I had a great time with my "downline" that is I joke that Danielle is really my 'upline' because she knows more than me and Tania is my UP upline! Anyway regardless of SU titles (which is really beside the point) I had a lovely time stamping and talking no end with some really great girl friends! I DID manage to make a card!! Here it is!! And it loosely follows this weeks Just-Add-Ink challenge!

JAI17 Blog Hop

What a cool idea to have a blog hop linked with this weeks Just-Add-Ink challenge!! Well done team! I have to say that I fell in love with making paper beads!!! Thanks Bronwyn for your beautiful card and for inspiring me!! I wish I finished my card in the daylight because it is so darned hard to photograph and do the card justice at nighttime!! And I'm not at Danielle's to get her to photograph it for me :) !!


Main Card: Rose Red, Kiwi Kiss, Black Tissue
Ink: Whisper White
Paper Beads: Raspberry Tart DSP

Friends

I got together with my friend Narelle last night to randomly make cards. We decided to do the JAI16 challenge. I was quite challenge frustrated and put out that I had to have Pretty in Pink with Ruby Red (thanks Dan!). Narelle on the other hand made an amazing card!! Anyway even though I didn't leave Narelle's till after midnight and I STILL hadn't finished my card, I dreamt about it all night and got up and finished the darned thing!! Anyway Narelle...this one is in honour of you!! I had a great night stamping and chatting!!

A little challenge frustrated!

Well I saw this weeks Just-Add-Ink challenge and thought "this is a boring sketch, this will be a sinch!" (Sorry Dan..) Well I have been so frustrated and about three cards did NOT work and I can't believe I am passed my bedtime entering this challenge!! Oh well sucked in Es...shouldn't have been so high and mighty!! HEHEHE!!

Just Add Ink....Challenge

So I took this weeks Just Add Ink challenge quite literally....just INK no coloured cardstock. It is quite something to ONLY use ink!! I botched up the first flower but I always tell my customers it doesn't matter! So I forced myself not to start again! Gotta practice what I preach!

JAI10 Challenge

I have entered Just Add Ink challenges previously but never via my blog. So here goes! I love the colours in this challenge...i might even be falling in love with cameo coral! Well maybe not quite but anyway! My Dad remarried last January and I never do scrapbook pages but hey it IS a challenge! So here is my effort!
