INDIGO NATIVITY!
Is life busy for you at the moment? I think we are all starting to feel a little time-pressured with Christmas preparations and shopping and the end of year activities. Well, if you are feeling that way then you will understand my absence of late. I am starting to tick off some really huge projects on my ‘To Do’ list so I think things are getting a little clearer – although I haven’t done a lot of Christmas shopping yet so I won’t speak too soon!
Anyway, enough of my rambling. You are here to see what fantastic, exciting creations I have been doing. I can’t guarantee all that but here is a card I created a couple of weeks and I hadn’t shown you yet.
The layout is from a card I had filed away for a few years but thought it would work here. The little nativity scene is from the ‘Best of Christmas’ set. (This is a great little set for $25.95 with some great images in the set). It is stamped on Whisper White and then I cut a circle on the Island Indigo card with the Circles Framelits. I embossed the card with the Snow Flurry Embossing Folder and added a few Rhinestones. The greeting is from Teeny Tiny Sentiments.
Thanks for stopping by. I do appreciate your visits to my little corner of blogland. I really don’t need to talk to myself here!
Stop by again soon,

A SPECIAL WEDDING CARD!
A little while ago I shared a Wedding acceptance card. You can see it in this post here but here is the card if you missed it. For that card I used the colours from the Wedding invite.
Well the big day arrived yesterday. I thought I would show you the Wedding card now. Once again I used similar colours for the Wedding card and I have also used the new circle Thinlets. Unfortunately the lighting wasn’t great to take photos as we have had lots of rain lately. It was so nice to see the sun shining for the wedding day yesterday. 🙂
I have used Baked Brown Sugar and Crisp Canteloupe. The gold circle behind the label and on the heart is using the Gold Foil Sheets and I ran them through the Big Shot with the Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder. The “Mr and Mrs” is from ‘Label Love’ and was embossed. It has a nice shine to it. It’s just a shame that you can’t see that to well even in the close up! I have used the ‘Venetian Romance’ DSP.
Here is the inside. I just decorated on the back of the circle. The space to write on was under the extended flap.
I hope they like the card. It was a lovely day to celebrate with all the family.
Ok, just a quick wedding snap. It was a bit emotional! But such a lovely setting.
The thunder rolled in and it looked like rain but it passed us by!
Here is my Great Niece Jakayla, Carlie and my Niece Megan.
Thanks for visiting. The sun is out again today so I guess one must catch up on some washing! See you soon.

MERRY MINIS CHRISTMAS
Happy Thursday to you. I made this card a couple of weeks ago. This was CASED off Pinterest and was originally done by Tamara from tamaraspapertrail.blogspot.ca. I thought it was a bright, fun card to make. Something different to what I have been creating lately. I used the Artisan Label punch though where she used the scallop square punch. The little punches are from the Merry Minis Punch set. Aren’t they cute!! Lots of ways to use these little punches. The base card is Whisper White and then a layer of Real Red and then Whisper White. The greeting is from ‘Wishing You’.
Thanks for stopping by. I have lots more that I have been creating. Just to find the time to take photos and I can share them with you.
Come and visit again soon. Don’t forget to say Hi though and tell me where you are from. I would love to hear from you.

SO MUCH FUN WITH THE ENVELOPE PUNCH BOARD!
Two posts in one day but I can’t help it. I am having so much fun with the Envelope Punch Board that I JUST HAVE to show you what I just made with it. There are lots of fun little treat holders in the blogosphere if you look around. I came across this cute little one yesterday and had to make it today. Check it out!
For my box I used black cardstock and wrapped around some ‘Modern Medley’ DSP. The “For You” tag was stamped from ‘Chalk Talk’. I die cut a Melon Mambo label from the Chalk Talk Framelits and then ran it through the Big Shot with the Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder. The box measures 12.5cm x 3cm.
I found this cute box on Pinterest and went to the blog. You can find the tutorial for it here on Jen’s blog. This was for a chocolate treat holder. I am not sure if our size chocolate bars fit in this. I will have to investigate that one. After I finished this box I searched out some ideas around the house for some little gifts that will fit in it. It does fit the ‘Summer Roll’ bar and fits 6 mini Hershey Chocolate bars. For the young girls it will fit 2 little eye liner or lip gloss sticks. I think you could find some other low-fat ideas for this little box.
So have you got your Envelope Punch Board yet??? You have to have one you know. Contact me if you need to order one and haven’t yet got yourself a Local Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator.
Maybe I should try and make some envelopes with it now!!! LOL

EX LIBRIS CARD FOR PATTI
One of the great things about Stampin’ Up! is the people you meet. I have made friends not just locally but in so many countries that I would not have otherwise known. I am so blessed to call them my friends. Recently I made a card for a special blog friend in the US that I have got to know over the last few months. I sent her a card and a little bit of Australia.
Before I show you the card I will show you the gift I sent her.
I forgot to take a photo of it before I sent it so I have just taken it from her blog. Sorry Patti I hope you don’t mind??? 🙂
I sent her a Tea Towel with the Kookaburra and Rosellas. I thought she might like to see the visitors I get to my garden. I didn’t realise HOW wrapped she would be though!! The tag is from Chalk Talk and is stamped in Pistachio Pudding and Crisp Canteloupe.
Here is the card I made for her (after the first one went missing somewhere between here and there).
I have had this ‘Ex Libris’ stamp for nearly a year and haven’t used it yet. (Hangs my head in shame). I inked the stamp in Pistachio Pudding and then sponged over it in places with Crisp Canteloupe then stamped it on Whisper White card. The greeting is from ‘A Dozen Thoughts’. (One of the stamps you can get for 25% off until Monday). I stamped this on a piece of Whisper White and flagged the ends then sponged the edges in Crisp Canteloupe. For the label on the card I stamped the stamp again on Whisper White. If you look at the stamp it has a label on it which is larger then our Decorative Label Punch. I cut around the inner line of the label and then sponged it with Pistachio Pudding. I added a flagged strip of Crisp Canteloupe underneath the label. The butterflies are from Papillion Potpourri. I stamped the smaller ones in Crisp Canteloupe and used a blender pen to slightly colour the centre. The large butterfly was inked in Crisp Canteloupe and sponged in Pistachio Pudding. Then I added some Dazzling Diamonds with the 2-way glue pen. It does look so sparkly in real life.
Now I received a special package from Patti. Check this out!!
Some delicious Maple Candy!! Who Hoo! AND a beautiful book of Vermont where she lives. Throughout the book she had added post-it notes with little notes of the area or where she had been. It made it so special. What a beautiful part of the world!
Then a gorgeous card.
This is using the set ‘Gently Falling’ which I don’t have so that is lovely. The ‘Just for You’ is from ‘Label Love’ and was stamped then embossed in White Embossing Powder. Finished off with one of Patti’s specialty bows. How special to receive a treat like this from across the other side of the world. You must go and visit Patti and say G’day. Stop by Patti’s Stamping Studio here.
Thanks for visiting. See you again soon.

RETIRED STAMPIN’ UP! PRODUCTS FOR SALE!
I have just made a page listing all my Retired Stampin’ Up! products. Head over there to grab a bargain. These are only available to Australian Residents – sorry!!
BABY STARS!!
I can finally get around to showing these cards I made a few weeks ago. I needed to make 2 baby girl cards. One for my niece and one for a friend of Glenn’s. So I made 2 of the same. I pulled out my new set ‘Simply Stars’. I even opened up Blushing Bride for the first time!!!
I stamped the stars over the Whisper White card using Blushing Bride and Smoky Slate. I then ran it through the Big Shot with the Square Lattice Embossing Folder. This was layered on a Blushing Bride card base. The little handprints and the sentiment are from the set ‘Baby Prints’. The grey button is not Stampin’ Up! I found that in my button collection and it matched perfectly. The little Pink Button is a retired Stampin’ Up! one (I think!).
Now that I have finished them I really need to send them before the babies are One!!! LOL
It’s a lovely sunny Spring day here. School Holidays have started so who knows what we will get up to today. Enjoy your day,
Jenny
