March - Monthly Calendar Challenge

Hi all,

Well, I am leaving it super late to get some challenge entries in! This one is for Susan's Monthly Calendar Challenge for March. This month's theme was Autumn, and you can check out all the details here. Although I am leaving it really late, there might still be time for you to join in, but if not, I'd love to see you join in next month! It's such a fun challenge.

I can tell you that the upcoming Autumn/Winter Mini Catalogue has some great autumnal products... which I don't have yet :) and I was wishing for them while doing this month's calendar page! I settled for the Lovely as a Tree set and attempted to add some Autumn colours to the branches. The calendar template is once again from Cat on Splitcoaststampers, you can find it here.

In my part of Queensland it doesn't feel like Autumn yet, everything is green and lush from all the rain and it is still hot and muggy. The nights have been cooler though so before we know it I'm sure I will be complaining about the cold :)

I will be back later with my other challenge entry - hopefully in time to play along!

Inkspirations Sketch Challenge #19 - Bella Rose Birthday

Hi all!


I actually have a challenge entry to show you - finally got a chance to do Keesh's latest challenge, Inkspirations Sketch Challenge #19. Here is the fabulous sketch:

And here is my card, a birthday card for my lovely cousin:

I have stamped the presents from 'Happy Moments' onto various Bella Rose DSP and popped them onto a large metal-edge tag. I saw this set used with the metal-edge tags a while back but I can't find the site again! I love how the 1 3/4" circle punch fits the tag so neatly for my background image.

The rest of the DSP is also Bella Rose and I have used Chocolate Chip double-stitched ribbon and taffeta ribbon for the knot, and jumbo silver brads to finish it off.

You only have until the end of March to earn this stamp set for FREE with a $100 order, as part of Sale-a-bration - contact me if you'd like to place an order, or for more information!

Supplies (all Stampin' Up!)
Stamps: Happy Moments
Cardstock: Pink Pirouette, Riding Hood Red, Chocolate Chip (textured), Whisper White, Bella Rose DSP
Ink: Chocolate Chip
Accessories: Chocolate Chip double-stitched ribbon, Chocolate Chip taffeta ribbon, large metal-edge tag, jumbo silver brads, mat pack, dimensionals.

Thanks for visiting,
Genelle.

Busy, busy...

Hi all,

Firstly I must post a belated 'congratulations' to the catalogue party winners! I hope you are enjoying your new freebies!

I will try to get some new photos on here tomorrow - I have been very busy which is good work-wise but haven't had any time to stamp for fun or do my favourite challenges! I have been doing a LOT of stamping though so hopefully I can put some pictures up.

Enjoy the miniscule remainder of the weekend :)

Monthly Calendar Challenge - February

Hi!

Here is my February calendar page for Susan's Monthly Calendar Challenge. I am really enjoying doing these 6" x 6" calendar pages. This month's theme was Love and Romance, and you can check out all the details by clicking here. There's still time for you to join in!

I love all of the traditional romantic gestures (flowers, chocolates, dinner and wine) but one of my favourites would have to be love letters and cards! I have stamped my 'Sent With Love' Gorjuss Girl with Jet Black StazOn and coloured her with my blender pens, inkpads and white gel pen. My favourite dandelion heart stamp (from 'A Happy Heart') has been stamped in the background to tie in with the border. I also love rhinestones, so I have wrapped a clear rhinestone brad around the ribbon.

Supplies:

Stamps: Sent With Love (Gorjuss Girls by Sugar Nellie), A Happy Heart, Short & Sweet

Cardstock: Pink Pirouette, Regal Rose, So Saffron, Whisper White

Ink: Pink Pirouette, So Saffron, Rose Red, Regal Rose, Creamy Caramel

Accessories: Love Sparkles Simply Scrappin' Kit, clear rhinestone brad, Pink Pirouette striped grosgrain ribbon, dimensionals, Calendar template by Cat, scallop edge punch

Thanks Susan for the challenge!
Back with another post in a minute,
Genelle.
