Team training continued...

Just a real quick post to share the swaps from the team training the other night. I had to laugh it was the first thing the girls wanted to do when they walked in my door even more important than playing with chocolate - the theme was to use a Sale-A-Bration set if you had it.

So Clare & me played along & Debbie made a really cool tag card which is just such an awesome idea to use up those scraps of designer paper lying on your desk.

from Debbie using those "scraps of Afternoon Tea DSP"


and my effort I cased this from Tracy Harp on SCS - when I saw hers I thought what a cool tree! I knew you could punch the flower out in the SAB Polka Dot Punches set but hadn't realised that this stamp Tracy/I've used could also be punched with the scallop circle punch (duh) - this would make a really cool tree on a scrap book page too. I added the wee bird from Live Your Dream stamp set too

So even though we're small a great effort by all & hopefully the whole team maybe able to make the next meeting plus we have a new team member Sally Williams from Massey East - so a BIG welcome to the WOW paperKRafters to increase our ranks.

A sweet thank you

2 challenges in one here not that I'm very happy with my effort but have 4 hours to pack up for a 5 hour scrap (plus pizzas) & I haven't got the foggiest where any of my gear is (this is normal though).

Trudi from NZSU blog has challenged us to make something with a Sale-A-Bration set (SAB) & Janet from my SBS sisterhood has challenged us to make a card with no DSP or embossing & to use our stamps to make background paper - this is easy.

I've chosen Botanical Blooms as I love 2-step stamping & I needed to make a wee thank you card. There are 4 SAB sets again this year to earn for FREE - more details about this promotion can be seen HERE.
