Happy Birthday Card

So I was at our team meeting today and was hassled about the fact that I am a really slack blogger so in an attempt to appease my fellow team mates I have decided to post a card that I gave to my son's teacher for her Birthday which is today. So Happy Birthday Gaby!!!



The card was made using the Big Bold Birthday set. I stamped the bottom half of the cupcake with Taken With Teal and the top half with Rose Red. I layered the card using Very Vanilla, Rose Red DSP and Taken with Teal. Using Staz On ink I stamped the Happy Birthday on the Very Vanilla ribbon.

Its a simple card but sometimes they can be the nicest. I have recently fallen in love with Taken with Teal but after using the new In Colour Pacific Point today I think that will be my all time favourite colour!!!! It is so deep but bright at the same time - LOVE IT!!!!

All right so now that I have the first card up I will attempt to put some more things up. Hopefully I can be a better blogger!!!

Stampin' Up! 2008/2009 Retired List

Well another SU! Catalogue year is coming to an end which also means that the inevitable retired list is here.

There are a LOT of items on the list this year as SU! are trying to bring the Australian market more in line with the US market which will benefit everyone I believe.

So with this in mind now is the time to grab all your favourite sets that are on their way out and the exciting thing is that this year Stampin' Up! is offering 25% off some of the retired stamps!!! There are some papers that are even discounted 50%!!!

Where Have I Been?????

Hi there,
I know I have been a very slack blogger but it has been extremely busy in our household with getting back to school and then helping out at school and just life I guess but I am now back on track. So my sincere apologies for the slackness.


this is the gift card holder I gave my husband for Christmas.


I used Close To Cocoa CS and Very Vanilla. At first he thought it was an actual wallet which was nice


I will post some more soon!!
