Watercolouring Virgin! and welcome to Jodie

I saw an amazing card here using one of my new favourite sets 'Lots of Bots', I'm very fickle by favourites change regularly! I don't often CASE cards, but I was so inspired by this one, that I broke open the Watercolour Paper that has been in my stash for a very long time and gave it a go, I'm really happy with the results. I did this whilst spending some time with my new and first recruit Jodie, very exciting times, and she assures me that the watercolouring looks fine.



I enjoyed the colouring so much and found it very therapeutic that I was inspired to create a second card using the same technique. I have to say this set did nothing for me when I saw it in the Mini, but my daughter is always allowed to choose one set and this was her choice, no surprises there, having used it it has definitely grown on me!





Hope you enjoy these as much as I enjoyed creating them, and hopefully in the not too distant future I'll be able to share some of Jodie's creations with you.

More Stamp Club Goodies

Last night, was the second Stamp Club meeting for March, so all my lovely ladies have made their Easter goodies, so I will now share the other two projects we created. Alongside the Top Note Quilt Card, here, they also made two more items using the Top Note Die and the 'A Good Egg' stamp set.

One was a purse, and the other a bag topper. All of these projects also included some paper piecing as this was the technique I taught this month, a really simple technique but so, so effective.

If you would like more details on my stamp clubs feel free to email me, they are held in Atwell, WA and you get all the benefits of being a hostess, without the hassle of actually hosting a party ie, I do the cleaning, tea/coffee etc and you still are entitled to your hostess sets and hostess dolllars - it couldn't be simpler!!

Didn't make it!

I had every intention of creating and posting on Sunday, but what is it they say about the best intentions..... well that's what happened here it all went wrong. How dare some unknown virus get in the way of my personal challenge, for the first time in my life I have been signed off work by the doctor, so have had heaps of time on my hands but have done nothing creative at all - I've managed to sleep the time away, which feels like such a waste but was so needed.

Anyhow here is one of the items my gorgeous Stamp Club ladies will be creating soon, we are basing our creations around Easter and the use of the Top Note Die, which I have been dieing (pun intended!!) to get my hands on! Once again I have used that very cute chickie from A Good Egg stamp set.



I'm also going to enter this into the Just Add Ink Easter Challenge if I get there in time, I'm not sure on the time difference!
