FS107 Inspiration for SgtStamper

I think I am getting into the swing of challenges, well at least I hope I am getting there. This week's Featured Stamper on Splitcoast is SgtStamper, I used this card as inspiration... Love is Like.... Embellishments!!! I changed the colours, the sentiment and went with flowers and no butterflies (shock), and dropped the glitter (shock). The Kaiser pearls were still out so they got thrown in as well...

For Sue at the Book Counter DJs Carindale

I got this stamp set from my US Pen Pal for Christmas but hadn't mounted it until today...not good!! But all good now!! I love this set and my mind is now racing... I had to go to DJ's at Carindale to collect a wedding present and the thought of Carindale, particularly the car park, was not working favourably with my need to check things off my to-do list... off I went though, and was thankfully rewarded with the now quite difficult to find skill of quality sales assistance... nothing short of knowledgeable, efficient and friendly!! So this is going to Sue tomorrow via a message that I will send to her Manager... I think it is important to provide feedback for a job well done, particularly for the underappreciated shop staff. So THANKS Sue... see you next time!!!

Colour me R

A little offering along the same lines as the previous submission for PT Release Challenge. I needed to put a card together pretty quickly for my Auntie's Birthday and the colours seemed to fit, so went with the left overs but changed the orientation of the card.

Happy Birthday Bec...

Here is a simple card, once again using my new Sugar Nellie stamp, needed to be not as girly so used same colouring technique but with purple and grey... The background is Boho Backgrounds from Stampin' Up!

Happy Birthday KathyJ

A little birthday wish for a special birthday celebration.... Here is a bright birthday wish for my very bright and bubbly bestie..... Have been saving my new Sugar Nellie stamp for this occassion, I have done some work with this in earthy colours, but flipped the box and used it with some red and pinks from Stampin' Up! This card was inspired by lucasmom in the Splitcoast Galleries.

Papertrey Day 9 Challenge

No excuse needed to create/post a card for a friend.... thanks to Papertrey's Day 9 Release Challenge.

Mr Zachary Turns 7

A nice clean card for my favourite 7 year old... I love this Paper Source Square Head Robot, and it went nicely with the Star Wars Lego that joins this card. The stickers are from very deep in my stash... and are thanks to American Crafts... had to send a little Wild Wasabi ribbon Zac's way as well!!

Papertrey Day 7 Challenge

I plan on extending my stamp collection this year to include Papertrey. This is an entry for their Day 7 release announcement. I threw in some Provo Glitter Stack paper with Glitter Thickers and QueenCo brads.

Happy Birthday Joseph!!

A counting card for my very precious nephew Joseph, he has ALWAYS loved numbers so thought I would team a few Thickers with this Paper Source Robot. I am sure he will love it but put it to the side pretty quickly when he sees the kite that comes with this card.

Happy Birthday My Little Man!!

Clean & Simple

A request for a clean and simple card for a work colleague's Mother for her Special Day. Her favourite colour is blue, not my favourite colour to work with, but came together OK with a little dash of River Rock card. I thought the lines from SU's Live Your Dream would go well with my new Making Memories letters.

Tins for the Boys

Boys like tins too, or so I have found out!! A little dash of Army on one and the other was to house paper for origami, so found some clean line stars and paper.

Splitcoast FS104...

Not overly confident with challenges, but forced myself to give Splitcoast's Featured Stamper a go this week. The Gallery of choice was BevRrrrrrrrrrrrrrocks and I chose A Good Book as inspiration.

Eboni and Brodi Turn 5

What do five year olds like.... butterflies and robots!! Here are two Birthday cards for two of the cherubs in my life... I wanted them to be bold and bright (not my usual style) so went for SU Bold Brights, mixed in with a Butterfly from Unity and a Robot from Paper Source which I picked up recently in Boston.
