Tart and Tangy

Back in mid August I received four new stamp sets and this is my first time to "play" with any of them. Thanks to Kim Gavarra, Stamp with Kim for these ideas using the Tart and Tangy set. I do have lots of more ideas to use with this stamp set but I thought I'd better do some housework as well this afternoon.

Baroque Motifs Scrapbooking Page

It's been a long time since I have done any stamping, I have had a couple of holidays and have not had any time on the weekends. I had 8 days away in Queensland, 3 night's in Brisbane including a trip to Australia Zoo home on the Irwins, (I even saw Terri, Bindi and Bob) and four night's at the Binna Burra Mountain Lodge in the Lamington National Park. Then last weekend I went to a small mining town in South Australia, Burra to have a nice relaxing time.

I have just completed a gift for Michelle Young who joined me for the five days in the Lamington National Park.

Thank You to Nerine from Stampin' Addiction

I recently entered the Beginners Challenge run by the generous Nerine, Stampin' Addiction and was lucky enough to get a wonderful runner up prize of the retired stamp set, Reason to Smile. How about that a great prize for coming second. I sent her this thank you card (I should be able to post it on my blog now as Australia Post should of delivered it.) Sorry the photos are really ordinary but I had to take it in the evening as I wanted to post it the following morning on my way to work.

It was the fourth and last instalment of Alisa Tilsner's Stamps by Mail. I have really enjoyed completing these tasks each month and always looked forward to receiving a large package each month (I seemed to always order extra items to add to make continually growing supply of Stampin' Up goodies.

Stamp With Gina! - Sketch Challenge

Here is my entry into Stamp with Gina sketch challenge. I enjoy Gina's challenges as she gives you a few weeks to prepare them as this really helps when you have limited time to stamp. (I sometimes would participate in other peoples blog challenges but they only give a few days to complete a card and when you work full time this is not possible.)

A Little Bit of Happiness

I received this stamp set as a hostess gift back in April (when I was first introduced to Stampin' Up) and I have finally had some time to use it. I stamped off seven images on watercolour paper and coloured some with my ink pads and some with write makers. The seventh card will be posted on the blog at a later date as I have used it for a challenge.
