Another Scrapbooking Page

This is the second scrapbooking page in two days and it's only the second one I have every completed. I might just have to buy a book to put them in now. This one was from Alisa Tilsner Stamps by Mail in May. I was happy with the last one and found a photo of myself that I thought would look ok.

Stamps by Mail - June

Last week I received my package from Alisa Tilsner Stamps by Mail for June and I have completed the three tasks over the weekend. I do have trouble choosing a photograph that is landscape as I have few good shots of myself but they are in portrait so hopefully one in the next two months I will be able to use. I have noticed that Alisa uses black and white photographs so I followed in her footstep and chose this one of my nephew, Jason at Easter time. This was the first time I had ever used rub ons so that was interesting.

Stampin' Up Goodies Arrive

Here are the goodies that arrived with the postie this week - oh I do like my postie! I now have all the in-colour card stock to go with the double stitched ribbon plus my first Stampin' Up punches. The stazon is ready to try out with the write makers and aqua painter (forgot to put them in the shot) so hopefully my watercolouring gets better!

I bought the escape promotion package, so I got the Circle of Friendship stamp set which I have already used to finish off a card ... I will post this one tomorrow night, again I forgot to include the love notes pack in the photo. Also I look forward to using the Sincere Salutions on a couple of cards that I started over the last couple of weekends as I knew it was on it's way.

Well that's all my spending now, until Carol one of my friends hosts a Christmas in July party next Saturday (so no checking the catalogue to add to the wish list and no looking at eBay).
