Farewell to the Summer Mini

I made this card as a farewell to the Summer Mini Catalogue. I have really enjoyed this catalogue and will be sad to see so many things go.... Grunge Rock, Presto Patterns Designer Series Paper, Itty Bitty Buttons, Itty Bitty Punch Pack......

This card uses all of those things including the Pinking Hearts Border Punch which you can use as little flags instead of hearts as i have done here in this card. I have also used the Bitty Buttons which are such great value. I find the best way to stick them on is with Crystal Effects as you can then see straight through them onto the cute little image you have stamped below.

You have until 8pm tomorrow night to order something from the catalogue if you still want to. And don't forget the great Autumn Mini Catalogue is out friday, if you would like a copy just email me at Christies_stamps@yahoo.com.au


Make sure you check back friday because i will be participating in an Inklings Blog Hop and we will have some great projects to show you from the new mini catalogue.

Mini Easter Basket

That's right. It is time to start thinking about Easter. This is a cute little Easter basket i made recently. It uses the BigZ Ovals Die and the great Square Lattice Embossing Folder (sob, sob, it will no longer be available after this month!). This mini basket will fit a small egg inside like one of the eggs you get in the carton of chocolate eggs. It is a nice 'little' gift for someone.

Presto Patterns Scrap Booking

Don't fall of your chair because i have been doing some scrapbooking lately! I really like the Presto Patterns Papers in the Summer Mini Catalogue and they are due to be gone soon so i couldn't pass up the opportunity to use them for scrapbooking.
This first page is a series of photos i took a while back when my husband was playing his guitar and my kids (or daughter firstly) came up and sat next to him with her little guitar. It was too cute.
I really also love the Grunge Rock stamp set which i really hope gets continued over to the next catalogue. It is really great for teenagers and males which is something alot of people have trouble with!

Presto Patterns Wedding Scrap Page

This is a page i made recently with a couple of wedding photos. I have not scrapped any of our wedding photos before but this Presto Patterns Paper just screamed wedding to me. I tried to use the colours of my bouquet to inspire the colours of the paper flowers. I have sponged the colours Not Quite Navy and Night of Navy in the background and these colours were inspired by my bridesmaids dresses.
