How would you like to impress your partner on Valentine's Day with a card that you created?

Just come along and have a cuppa on Saturday 31 January at 1 pm while we make the card.

All you need to do is to Email me to reserve your seat.

You just need to bring yourself and $5.00 (this covers the refreshments and card materials).

Here is a peak of the card that we are going to make.

Looking forward to meeting you.

Team Challenge No. 2

It was my turn to come up with the conditions for the challenge. The criteria for this challenge is that we all had to use the Seeing Spots stamp set and the colours to use are Summer Sun, More Mustard, Garden Green and Whisper White or Very Vanilla.

Here is the challenge photo.

Here is my card.

The cards that my Team Members have done so far are so amazingly different. I'm so glad that we are all so different otherwise life would be so boring.

Team Challenge No. 1

This is our first Team Challenge for this year. Debbie M was the lucky one to set out the conditions for the challenge.

The conditions were that we had to use Basic Black, Elegant Eggplant, Gold Embossing and a touch of Real Red, as well as using the packets as inspiration.

Here is my interpretation of the challenge.

It was just amazing how we all interpreted the challenge so differently.

Graduation Card

When I saw the card that my son received from his Aunt for his Graduation, last year, it look a bit familiar. His Aunt, Debbie M, did this card for our first Team Challenge this year. The stamp that she used, it didn't even register with me. I think that I must have seen it on my blond day. lol.

As usual my photo does not do it justice.

These cards my son received. Starting from the left we gave him that one and the other one is from his Aunt Melissa M.

The photo's are not the best as I had to take them inside because it was raining.

Again thank you all for the lovely cards that we received for Christmas 2008.

Never-ending Card

This is the card that inspired my son's girlfriend to make her card for him.

My 8 year old nephew made this card and sent it to my son for Christmas. I don't know if his Mother (Debbie M) helped him at all but knowing him I think that he mostly did it on his own. He did a wonderful job, don't you think??
