No more eating cake?

wow the retiring list is growing so fast & getting too large to keep running it on the side bar. If there is a set you're really think you love & don't want to miss out on getting it contact your demo or ME quickly - cute is going the fastest. This is a set I think is "cute" but is still readily available & great value at $43.36 (25% off) for 11 stamps. Click on the photo to see a bigger snapshot of the card.

Happy stampin'

Bali Breeze a popping & a spinning

What a lot of fun tonight at class (JanetA - I could kiss her worked out that if you trim a smidgen of the dimensional stuck between the coins - your embellishment really, really spins!!)

First project: Bali breeze spinner card

Stamp sets: Eastern Blooms & Eat Cake
Paper: Taken with Teal, Pumpkin Pie, Old Olive, Whisper White, Bali Breeze DSP

The second project was designed & demonstrated by Delys Cram & Jennifer Montgomery at my recent teams extravaganza in Hamilton - I just loved the colours - which also inspired the first card. My kit from being a demo came in handy for Judy's birthday card but never got to take a decent photo (not sure if this one is perfect either but better - click on the photo to make it bigger)
