It's My Party....

This weekend I was kept busy making the invitations to Georgina's birthday. I have seen some examples of a criss cross card floating around here and there and thought I'd give it a go. I took Georgina to Michaels at the weekend to choose some paper - and the RockStar paper pack was on sale - luckily it also went quite well with chocolate, twilight and kiwi cardstocks from Close To My Heart. I also used their (CTMH's) Playful Flourishes stamp set on the actual invitation. I am posting them here - which obviously means I'm quite proud of them (otherwise I wouldn't share!!!)


The "G" was my first attempt at embossing - EVER! I totally loved it - and can't wait to have another session!

Card # 6, 7 & 8

Oops - I have been lazy - well - more like life just got in the way of my creativity - (man!) Hopefully I am back on track again now and there will be some very swift catching up going on!
Here are cards 6, 7 & 8 in the meantime:

Four More!

Kari likes to send hers in bulk so here are the latest four from her:

Card 2 - Jenn G

Card #2

I sit and I think and I play and sometimes I miss fire but when I'm done - there's nothing to beat that feeling when it all comes together and you know it's finished.

I guess it looks like I'm trying to make my stack co-ordinated - in truth I AM using my scraps - and there's a lot of this (CloseToMyHeart) paper pack in there - I think this pack makes me happy!

Show me YOURS!

Card #1

I just love it when things go according to plan!

Hot off the press from JennG:

Are you ready for tomorrow?

Tuesday September 4th is the first day of 52 days of happiness I made my cover page this morning - I was up and awake too early today!

Of course there's Prisma Glitter on it - anything I do is never finished until is has glitter all over it!

See you tomorrow.

SHOW ME.....YOURS

Oh Me Oh My!

I am SOOO excited - I am in the middle of mindless blog surfing (which are, of course, all scrapbook blogs) and I happen upon one which lists our 52 days of happiness challenge! You can see Allisons blog Stampin' When I Can here.
