Don't fall off your chair....

Yes it's a new post!!  Are you amazed??  I've discovered that working full time will seriously effect the amount of time you have to craft, and even more so the time allocated to blogging!  LOL.

Anyhoo.....on to the card.

I made this one up for one of Steph's down line challenges.  I really like it, and I have rediscovered the confetti white card stock that is used for the base.  Loving it!!

One of my friends recently told me that my style has changed since she met me, and she's right.  I've found that sometimes less is more, and I really think the simplicity of this card is what makes it. 

Card Stock: Confetti White

Ink: Not Quite Navy

Stamp: Razzle Dazzle, Stem Silhouettes

Other: Blueberry Crisp DSP, White Organza Ribbon, Dazzling Diamonds.

A birthday gift......

 This past week, it was my BFF's birthday.  Now that she has opened her pressie, (had to wait for the mail to be delivered), I can post the photos here to show you all. 

My latest discovery is pen holders, so I made her a little desk set, which would be perfect for her desk at work or that little table inside her front door where the keys and mobile phone get put (supposedly!!) when she comes home.

Here is the pen holder, complete with pens, and a little note book.

And a close up of the front of the pen holder.

Card Stock: Crumb Cake, Pacific Point, Very Vanilla

Ink: Pacific Point

Stamp Sets: Punch Potpourri, Teeny Tiny Sentiments

Other: Pacific Point Ribbon (retired, but blue is her favourite colour, so I had to feature this), flower punch, bird punch (though mine had been held hostage at a friends house, so I actually hand cut these ones), Blueberry Crisp DSP, Stamp-a-ma-jig.

Blueberry Razzle......

 I finally received my first order from the new SU! catalogue.  Sooooo many yummy new products. 

This first sample features the returning (Yay) stamp set Razzle Dazzle.  I've teamed it with the co-ordinating DSP Blueberry Crisp.

You'll notice the new white organza ribbon too.  Loving the new ribbon.  Look at the height this ribbon will hold.

How cool is that!!

Here is a close up of the stamped image.  I've used the Rock and Roll technique to achieve the two tone effect.  Then I've added Dazzling Diamonds.  After all you can't have the Razzle without the Dazzle !!! LOL!!!

Stamps: Razzle Dazzle

Card Stock: Whisper White,  Pacific Point, Bashful Blue

Ink: Bashful Blue, Pacific Point

Embellishments:  White Organza ribbon, Blue Ice rhinestone, Scallop and large oval punches, word window punch, dimensionals.
