ADDINKTIVE DESIGNS

Hi there.  I have just come back from Stampin' Up's! South Pacific Convention on the Gold Coast and thought I would share with you the Swaps that I made.  Helen and Nikki S will need to 'look away' as I haven't mailed theirs yet :)  1. CASE-ing the Catty Team Swaps I'm not a fan of mass production and like to mix things up a bit, so all the CTC Crew Swaps are done with different colour combos, all taken from the Colour Coach .  I've lost my bit of paper that lists the combos I used and will attempt to try and recall them from memory until my little notepad turns up.    Perfect Plum, Rose Red and Marina Mist Pool Party, Island Indigo and Calypso Coral  Pink Pirouette, Cherry Cobbler and Wisteria Wonder  Hello Honey, Tangelo Twist and Pool Party  Blackberry Bliss, Soft Sky and Lost Lagoon  Bermuda Bay, Crisp Cantaloupe and Soft Suede  Sahara Sand, Soft Sky and Wisteria Wonde...

Just popping in to let you know that I have a handful of swaps for the Brisbane SU Convention.  My lovely up-line, Sharnee , (photo below) has kindly allowed me to send some along with her.  They're nothing flash but just a few e-cut cards like the samples in the above picture, as I don't have much spare time these days to be 'fussy'. I'm also open to swap via snail mail, after Convention, if you don't get a chance to find Sharnee amongst the 700+ people attending this year.  Oh I wish I could be there to join in the fun ... but am really looking forward to attending our son's graduation ceremony instead! Hopefully, I'll catch up with a few of you in Melbourne later on in the year! Have a blast!!

I am preparing for a craft night at my place tomorrow as some ladies from church are coming around to make something for Operation Christmas Child.   I thought a little post-it-note holder would be a great gift to pop into each box.  So tonight I did a test run using the theme challenge from Just Add Ink which is to Just Add Something New and the gorgeous colour combo from Dynamic Duos #24.    JAI #139 and DD #24 - Little Friends The newest purchase for me has been this cute set from SU called, Little Friends .  I coloured the stamped image using Pool Party, Soft Suede and Blush Blossom Stampin' Write Markers and an Aqua Painter.    I love the colour duo for this week. For this sample, I have turned the post-it note holder so the pen is at the top and attached 3 magnetic strips of tape to the back so it can stick to a fridge or magnetic white board. There are a few great tutorials out there for post-it-note holders but I rea...

Leafy Easel I've been itching to get back into my craft room and actually make something after such a long break!   The CASology Challenges have always caught my attention but it has taken until Week 14 to finally get around to entering (sorry, Melissa).  I love the idea of a cue card with one word as the inspiration and this week the word is LEAF .   My leafy easel card ticks all the boxes for the challenge criteria.  However, my take on the CAS style is a little 'out of the box' as it is the background that actually provides the necessary 'white space'.  Anyway, technicalities aside ... I finally made something and that makes me happy!  :)  

 Doily Butterfly I love the versatility of 'Washi' tape or masking tape for card making.  This card uses one of the gorgeous butterfly stamps in SU's Papillon Potpourri Stamp Set with matching butterfly punch, a paper doily and some strips of tape. For these 'teen rock' birthday cards, I used a strip of musical masking tape as a 'banner' for the stamped elements. Just to let you know, my good friend, Natalie , has a selection of my cards for sale at   A Beam of Beauty on High , 34 High Street, Launceston, TAS. Thanks for stopping by,

After a lovely break, I finally have a couple of cards to share and what better way to get me back into 'the swing of things', than to enter them into the latest challenge at Dynamic Duos. Cherry Cobbler is the colour for Week 22 and I have teamed it up with Very Vanilla for both of my cards.   No. 1 - DD #22 - Nestled Bird   No. 2 - DD # 22 - Butterfly Easel Card Thanks so much for stopping by!
