Hopefully it's still Wednesday in America

I know the USA is behind us (in time) & thought we'd been given an extra day BUT in reality Janet posted the SBS challenge #4 a day earlier, not that we could post our entries a day late. I think they close on a Wednesday, which is why I hope it's still Wednesday in America even though it's Thursday in NZ.

Well to cut a long story short the latest challenge from my blogging sister Janet was to create a birthday card with 2 embellishments on it - tough eh!! We got an extra point if we used her colour combo of Real Rust, Elegant Eggplant, Basic Black & Old Olive. You can see Janet's card HERE.

Well in my very limited crafting time this week I could not get this combo to work but have used 2 of the 4 colours, 2 embellishments (ribbon & silver brads) & eek last stuff up - nearly a birthday card, though sure I can push the boundary with the saying friendship.

So I may be late & may be got 3/4 of the challenge requirements but it was a quickie & I've blogged another day.


Stamp set/s: Petal Prints, Wonderful Words
Ink: Elegant Eggplant, Blush Blossom, Old Olive marker
Card stock:Elegant Eggplant, Blush Blossom, Very Vanilla
Other: Silver brads, dimensionals, 1/2" circle punch for ticket corners, olive organza - retired :-(


CYA all tomorrow - happy stampin' until then.

The reasons I was MIA

as promised Hannah & Morgan with their cards for mum & dad using Oh So Lovely & yes lots of Kiddiglitz & lots of punches

November is National Blog Posting month....

well that's what my upline is telling us - she's challenged us to post every day!!!

She's started the ball rolling by launching her new blog - she's moved from Blogger to Typepad & it certainly looks groovier - so CLICK to check it out & say hi whilst you're there. She's also got a Christmas card challenge going so check that out too & enter - gotta to be in to win.

Well I'm missing inaction or MIA as I'm house sitting & being "mum" to my best friend's Donna's children & have only been busy making 90 kits for the Creative Inkers team Christmas extravaganza this coming Saturday. We are also fund raising for the Woman's Refuge so hopefully will be a successful day all round.

The girls made some Welcome Home cards for mum & dad tonight & they were looking quite professional until I started chatting on the phone - oh well sure mum & dad will love them & Morgan & Hannah had a great time which is what it's all about. Will post a picture when I get home tomorrow - yah one more sleep to go before I get back my own bed, my crafting stuff & my 2 cats.

Talking about girls check out my niece Poppy's blog (she's aged 12) - all about her animals. Cool blog name too Popstar's World.

Be back blogging for real tomorrow but have managed day 1 of challenge - 25 to go.
