I teamed up a few of my favourite festive craft supplies to make this quick and easy card, another take on this design. 

The Recipe

Papers/Cardstock:  Riding Hood Red, Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive, Very Vanilla and Jolly Holiday DSP

Ink:  Cherry Cobbler, plus Champagne Mist shimmer paint and Cherry Cobbler reinker

Punches:  Scallop Square and Ornament punches

Stamp Set:  Delightful Decorations

Other:  Basic Pearls - went to town with these and added quite a few!

 

Well it has been another quiet week in this part of blog land, but busy and fun filled at home.   Last Friday we joined lots of other families and took part in the Junior Masterchef Cookalong.  Hannah and Jack had fun making the yummy chocolate desserts while they watched the show for the instructions.   I should have taken a photo afterwards - I'm sure we used EVERY dish in the house! 

Must confess - we left the dishes that night and John and the kids did them on Saturday while I was off at the Melbourne Stampin' Up training day.  What a fun day.  I presented some ideas on holding a catalogue launch.  (Which reminds me - my Summer Mini launch is coming up soon.  You'll find dates and some details here:  Launch Details.)    Once that was done I could relax!   I caught up with quite a few of my Think Ink team members plus lots of other stampin' up demonstrator friends, learnt some new tips and techniques, and got a TON of inspiration.   Here's one little peek.

Lots of ideas to try out.  I'm sure half the audience went home to stock up on Shimmer Paint after seeing lots of great techniques for using it.  I sure popped some extra bottles on my weekend order.  Stay tuned for lots of shimmery creations.   I'm still working on my newsletter - it is taking me a while but is jammed packed full of ideas so hopefully it'll be worth the wait. 

Have a lovely week,

Cheers, Sue
