February 2010 Cards and Snippets

Some stamps are instant favourites. I love these ones.

For the greeting on these sparkly cards I’ve used the SaleABration set ‘Whimsical Words.’   These fit nicely in some of our punches too for a punched greeting (the ovals work well – wide and large.)  This set works well with Stampin Write Markers too – you can do the different script styles in different colours. 

This saleabration set is called Good Neighbours. Isn’t it a cute one.

I’m loving Kraft base cards at the moment. Here’s some more Feb card featuring some stamps, rub ons and kraft bases.

Have a confession to make with this last one!  I’ve got a scoring blade and cutting blade on my trimmer and in my rush to add some decorative scoring lines I forgot which was which and sliced off the bottom of the card.  Oops!  Rather than consign it to the scrap heap I scalloped a scrap of Riding Hood Red and added this as a trim.  Think I’ll be slicing the bottom off more often as I quite like my quick fix! 

Newsletter Sneak Preview

Keep an eye out for my March newsletter for another variation on this Glitter Windows card, and for those of you who live too far away for a class, you’ll also find step by step pics of how to do this technique. 

You don’t want to miss this edition – there’s a sign up box here on the blog if you’d like to get my newsletter emailed to your inbox at the start of each month.  A great way to stay up to date with the latest Stampin’ Up news.

Family Snippets

Here’s another little something that brightens my days. 

We walked to kinder one day this week.  3 year olds notice such interesting things – I quite like our hand in hand kinder walks.  ‘Look a pineapple tree.’  (It did sort of look like a pineapple.)  On a recent walk I asked him what daddy did at work.  ‘He eats his breakfast at work in a plastic bag.’   🙂 

Meanwhile Miss Hannah seems to be getting older every time I look at her!  

Well that better be it from me today or the day will have disappeared before you get to the end of this post!  Hope you’re having a sparkly day!

Cheers, Sue
