INKspired Blog Hop - Best Thoughts

12 July 2015


INKspired Blog Hop & Sentimental Sunday

Welcome to our 20th....yes 20th blog hop! You may have just hopped here from the amazingly talented and beautiful Lissa.

If you have started here please hop all the way around to see all our creations and leave a comment. If you do, you could go in the draw to with some blog hopping candy! Teneale is kindly giving away a stamp set to one lucky follower who hops all the way around and comments too.


Our blog hop is held every other Sunday, with sketches created by Teneale.


Sentimental Sunday is something I created for my blog and it's the day of the week I like to recognise someone special in my life. Last week I used this stamp set, Best Thoughts and I really wanted to use it again for the beautiful hydrangea and the sentiment "the best is yet to come".

I made this card for my Mum who has recently retired. It's always a bit daunting to move forward and close one door, not knowing what opportunities are behind the next one, however I know for Mum that the best really is yet to come and I'm sure that next chapter will be the beginning of a new and exciting adventure!



Next on the hop is Marlene with an inspiring birthday card I'm sure you'll love!


Thanks for stopping by...remember to hop all the way around and leave a comment.

INKspired Blog Hop - Flower Patch

22 March 2015


Welcome to another INKspired Blog Hop. You may have just arrived here from my beautiful friend 
Lisa, I loved her take on this sketch using the Butterfly Basics stamp set.

This weeks sketch created by Teneale had me thinking up an Hawaiian themed card, because this week I EARNED MY 3rd STAMPIN' UP! INCENTIVE TRIP .... TO HAWAII! Yes, I am screaming it! Yes, I am super-dooper excited and yes, I would like to thank YOU my blog followers, customers, team, family and friends for all their support.

My biggest supporter (and extremely patient) husband and I jetset off in May, so stay tuned for my Hawaiian adventures and more tropical themed papercraft!


Here is this weeks sketch:


I used the Flower Patch stamp set and the 'thanks' from the Another Thank You stamp set, both from the main catalogue. I thought both were very fitting for this weeks challenge!

Next on our Blog Hop is my super fabulous and talented friend, Marlene.


Thanks for hopping by,

INKspired Blog Hop | Painted Petals

22 February 2015


Welcome to our INKspired Team Blog Hop. You may have just hopped here from my friend Lissa.
Teneale Williams creates our sketch challenges and this week I just had to use my new stamp set, Painted Petals.



Next on our blog hop is my awesome, creative friend Marlene with a nautical theme on this week sketch. 



To me, (and I am sure many others) Stampin' Up! is so much more than stamps, ink, cardstock and pretty papers. It's like being a part of a worldwide family. I have been blessed to meet so many amazing, inspiring, truly beautiful people through this, what some would call crazy hobby! There's two I would like to thank this week.

Firstly, thank you to my dear friend Denita who lent me a punch recently when I was hours away from home at a class! And for always welcoming me with the warmest hugs. xo

And also, to my friend across the miles, Michelle Last, who sent me the most divine, pretty bracelets and the best English Breakfast Tea a girl could wish for! The photo doesn't do them justice on how pretty they are. Thank you Michelle, I absolutely LOVE them. 



Thanks for hopping by,

Inkspired Blog Hop - Indescribable Gift

11 January 2015


Inkspired Blog Hop #9

You may have just hopped here from Lisa, welcome to our ninth team blog hop. 

Here is this weeks sketch inspiration:

This is my first card for 2015. I was fortunate enough to get to my craft room with Mehgan on the last night before she travelled home to the US, so all of the design work was a team effort..thanks Mehgan for choosing the colours, the stamp set, the DSP and the rounded corners...ok, so I should take no credit for this card...I did make it! :)


I am in L.O.V.E with the latest Occasions Catalogue, it's so yummy. This stamp set is called Indescribable Gift and I have coloured it using the Blendabilites alcohol markers. 


The next member on this blog hop Maree.
