Get Creative & Something A Bit EXCITING!!!

Hey all =) Stopping by today for a few shares. Something a bit different for me..cards. I am not a real card maker, my experience equals less than a dozen but from time to time, I don't mind it. Mainly as I have never quite worked out how to incorporate my grungy messy style into the smaller format. But with practice maybe I'll get there. So I decided to play along with the Nov 5th card challenge over at Get Creative...


The challenge is to use a stamp you have never used before. Being more of a scrapbooker than a cardmaker, my sentiment stamps that often pop up in my collection that come in sets never get used. The 'Thanks' stamp I have used here was from an Amercian Crafts set I purchased for the arrow and grid stamp. It felt good to finally find a use for it!

And another card I made with some scraps from a layout I created coming up for a DT assignment...



So my exciting news...


If you scroll down a bit, you will see that I am going to be one of the tutors at the Scrapbook Papercraft expo in Melbourne next year...YAY! I will be there for the full 3 days with 3 classes each day. Talk about jumping in the deep end for me!!! I have never even been to a class let alone taught one so I am more than a little petrified excited. Being in Tassie I have also never had the opportunity to actually meet ANY ( yes any!) other scrapbookers in person so I am really hoping to see some familiar faces there. If you are planning on going, I will be there on behalf of Scrapbook Creations so you will find me at their pavilion. Should be sooo much fun!! A little closer to the event I should be able to share some sneaks of the projects I have created for these workshops =)

Well that's it for me today!
Be good, G xox

  4. Congrats on your exciting news
    I can't wait to see your dt page if your card looks that awesome... An for someone who doesn't "do" cards you do them extremely well.
    I have actually just made my daughter a bookmark
    ( same size as a card) which I too found a little difficult cos of the smaller format... But she loves it.
