A Flower for All Season - JAI 69

I have had the stamp set, A Flower for All Season, for sometime and it has never seen any ink so I was looking for a design for my Stampin' Up! Class yesterday when I went to the Idea Book and Catalogue for some inspiration and did a little case job on this one, just with a change of colour combination. Don't forget to check out your catalogue as it has some wonderful creations that you can recreate in a matter of minutes if you are lacking your mojo.

This set is very inexpensive at only $24.95 which gives you four different images. I stamped my images in Chocolate Chip (as I find Basic Black too stark) and then used lots of yellows, oranges and reds in the markers. It was great to see all the different colour combinations from the 7 ladies that attended my class.

I just noticed that the Just Add Ink Challenge this week is Just Add Fussing Cutting so I thought it would also qualify for this one.

Stamp Set: A Flower for All Season, Trenty Trees

Card: Pumpkin Pie, Wild W, Whisper White

Ink: Chocolate Chip, Lots of Markers in Yellow, Orange and Reds

Accessories: Pumpkin Pie 1 1/4" Striped Grosgrain Ribbon

Stampin' Up! Convention

I have had a busy week since I arrived back from the Stampin' Up! Convention in Melbourne on Monday but I have finally found a few minutes to share with you a few photos and highlights on the three fun filled days.

Going through all my photos I realised that we had so many sneak peaks of new stamps set that will only will be released in the new Idea Book and Catalogue so I can not share with you all these. There were many wow demonstrations and wow they were, I have already cased a card for my card class this Saturday.

All 450 Demonstrators were very spoilt as we received 3 stamp sets and Simply Sent pack and I also won a Christmas stamp set and the Framed Tulips Textured Impression Embossing Folder in the Prize Patrol which I was so excited to receive.

Yes that is me with the most sort after photos of the Convention with
