Hi Everyone

WOW - it's December and Summer has started.  I can't believe where the year has gone and it's only 24 days till Christmas - Woot Woot!!!

Here's the last month of our Calendar Project - my December page.

As many of you know, I love Penny Black and these lovely cling stamps by Mo Manning are favourites.

Here I have used Little Elf Finn (40-088) and Little Elf Mim (40-089) and have them swinging from some ferns cut from the Magnolia Doo-Hickey dies.

I have coloured my Elves with Copic Markers - E00, E11, R20, E31, E35, E37, R27, R59, G21, G24, G28 and the baubles were coloured with YR23, Y21 and Y000.  After cutting out and adhering the Elves to my page, I added glitter to the baubles and fir trims on Finn and Mim's clothes.

Have a wonderful day
Happy Stamping

Calendar Project - November 2013

Hi Everyone


It's time for me to show you my November calendar.

As November is the month of 'Remembrance Day' on the 11th, I took my theme from there and used the Penny Black 'Field of Poppies' 4308K and stamped it 3 times.

The images were stamped on Bazzill Creampuff using Memento Tuxedo Black and then coloured with Copic Markers R02, R05, R27, R59, G21, G24, G28, Y21, YR23 and E35.

In the centre of my poppies, I added a badge that I purchased last November but removed the back from it.

I layered the card on Bazzill Leapfrog, Sunbeam and Pomegranate.

Happy Stamping

2013 Calendar Project - October

Hi Everyone

Happy October and Summer has certainly hit Brisbane.

Here is my first calendar page for this year.  I started with a Bazzill Creampuff background, layered with Beetle Black and then lastly a layer of HP Colour LaserJet paper.

On the HP Colour LaserJet paper, I blended Peeled Paint and Faded Jeans Distress Ink pads.  I then stamped the Hero Arts Lotus Background with Versamark and then dusted with Perfect Pearls - Pewter.

I cut the letters for OCTOBER and covered with Distress Stain - Pewter. 

The butterflies are from Darkroom Door Butterflies stamp set with Archival Jet Black and coloured with Distress Markers - Faded Jeans, Chipped Sapphire, Scattered Straw and Wild Honey.  After I adhered them to the page, I applied some Chocolate Pearl Pen down the centre of the body.

Happy Stamping

Calender Project - August 2013

Hi Everyone

Our Calender Project continues this month with the second of Chery's pages - August.

Cheryl used the wonderful Hero Arts Garden Bouquet stamp set to create this amazing page.

With a base of black card, Cheryl added a layer of white card and stamped the French words from the Stampers Anonymous Papillion (CMS106) stamp set using Versamark and dusted it with Perfect Pearls Sunflower powder.

The coloured cards are coloured with Distress Ink Pads - Wild Honey and Spiced Marmalade.  Cheryl then stamped the French words with Versamark and dusted it with Perfect Pearls Sunflower powder.  Cheryl then stamped the Garden Bouquet on the 3 pieces of card using an Archival Jet Black ink pad.

A wonderful addition to our Calender Project.

Hi Everyone

Our Calender Project continues this month with Cheryl's July page.

Using the Darkroom Door Seashells Stamp Set (DDRS055) and a mix of brown ink pads, Cheryl stamped the seashells out, cut them out and created this mix.

Layered on pearlescent card and dark brown card, this is a lovely card which could be made into a card.

May 2013 Calendar Project

Hi Everyone

Our calendar project continues this month with Linda's May page.

Linda's new favourite stamp pad is Hero Arts Bubblegum dye ink pad and created this page using this stamp pad.

Using Penny Black's Glory of Modesty (40-206), Linda stamped the left side with the Bubblegum ink pad.

On the right side, Linda stamped Glory of Modesty with Versamark on white paper and embossed it with clear embossing powder.  Linda then coloured the flowers by blending the Bubblegum ink over the stamped image.

The flower in the centre is Hero Arts Three Dotted Flowers (CG291) which was stamped on white card with Versamark and embossed with clear embossing powder.  Linda then coloured the flowers with the Bubblegum ink pad and Distress ink pads for the leaves.

Calendar Project - April 2013

Hi Everyone

I have just spent a fantastic day crafting with my friends Cheryl, Jennifer and Linda, eating lots of ... well, I'll call it 'craft food' (Biggest Loser might have another name for it), making cards, chatting and more chatting.

This is the first of Linda's Calendar being April 2013 made using Graphic 45's Bird Song papers.  Linda made a combination of blue or red and here is the blue version.

Have a fantastic April and Happy Stamping.
