Kathryn's Girls Afternoon - Getting Organised for Saturday

I have been busy this weekend getting ready for Saturday's Cancer Council Kathryn's Girls Afternoon, wow I did not know how long it takes to cut up all the cardstock. I have designed five cards and one project for my guests to complete, I hope they like them as I think they are some of my best work - they are not very difficult as most of my guests are not cardmarkers of distinction.

I also wanted to share with you some more cards I received from my stamping friends the first selection are from Mary-Jane Roussel all the way from France, and look at the beautiful elephant she has created in pink - I will hang "pinky" on my front door to welcome everyone and the second selection are from the lovely Lynn Powell from Western Australia (sorry Lynn I don't know if you have a blog). I am so overwhelmed by the generosity of my "online" friends which are supporting my event and women's cancers.

Makeesha Byl - Inkspirations Inspiration Challenge #13

It's the Labour Day Long Weekend here in South Australia, so I have had some time to create this time with Keesha's Challenge. I have lost my inspiration at the moment as I am not really happy with this one but I thought I'd post it just to say I have been stamping.

Kathryn's Girls Afternoon - Thank You to Claire Daly

Look what I received from the very generous and talented Stampin' Up Demonstrator, Claire Daly last week. I have been busy finishing off packaging up all the cards in plastic bags and some were just card fronts so they are all now beautiful cards ready to sell at Kathryn's Girls Afternoon for the Council Council. She also sent me some Stampin' Up goodies to put the cards together on the day, what a wonderful friend I have made via stamping.

If you can not attend my event and wish to make a tax deductible donation, the money raised will support women's cancers.
