Yahoo! Santa is only three sleeps away, and I can’t wait! I love Christmas morning when the wrapping paper goes flying and the kids are all squealing with excitement over what they’ve found under the tree for themselves -  must remember to charge the video camera up to capture it all!

I thought I should try and get at least one more card up here before the big day, and I’m rapidly running out of time to achieve everything I should!

This is one that I made for Yvonne’s Summer Mini Launch - The base card is Pumpkin Pie, and I’ve used Tempting Turquoise grosgrain ribbon. That big flower is trimmed from the Bali Breeze DSP, and I used some of our circle punches to layer the centre of the flower, using some of the rest of that sheet of DSP. Wonderful Friend is from the set Wonderful Favourites, and I used the Paisley background in Pumpkin Pie on the base card.

It certainly stands out in a crowd, so I recommend viewing with sunglasses on

Hoorah!

I’ve just been sifting through the dreaded spam list, and deleted 246 spam messages for delightful medications that can assist with bedroom drama’s, or help me advertise my business, or even help me out should I be inclined to be on the ‘different’ side when it comes to activities that are not stamping related .

Sigh.

I wish the spamsters would get a life!!!

Any old hoo, I have been frantic with work, and getting ready for Christmas, so I hope my absence is excused!

Here are is a card I made using a brand new Summer Mini Catalogue set, called Big on Spring. The colours are Cameo Coral, Apricot Appeal, Certainly Celery and Tempting Turquoise. This is a favourite colour combo of mine. I’ve also used the new Lots Of Dots jumbo wheel in the background, which I think will come in handy for lots of stuff!

Hope you like it!

Hopefully I ‘ll be back soon with another creation, but no promises made…. I have a date with the image consultant…… I’ll tell you more next time!!

Bookings will be essential so I can have enough projects cut ready to go! (And enough CAKE!!) Contact me by phone on 0403 023707 OR email me at jenni.oliver@hotkey.net.au.

Here are a couple of samples I’ve made already, but there will be heaps more to come!

This one is made with the gorgeous new Designer Series Paper (DSP) Ginger Blossom, and the sentiment is from Say It With Scallops. It’s punched out with our fantastic new Scallop Square Punch - gotta love that!

Gosh what a threesome of most attractive children! Oh hang on… they’re mine! Hmmm.

For this one I used another new DSP called Afternoon Tea, and those flowers are from a new stamp set called Eastern Blooms. The Friends sentiment is a white Rub-On from the Hidden Garden set, which also has a Chocolate Chip version in the pack. Noice!

Oh! And that wide Chocolate Ribbon is new too! Mmmmmm 1 inch wide Double Stitched Grosgrain.
