Grand Vacation Achievers Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to our Grand Vacation Blog Hop for November. This blog hop is to celebrate those who have earned the Mediterranean Stampin' Up! Grand Vacation this year and also showcase our creations with you and share our love of Stampin' Up!.

The theme for this blog hop is 'Seeing 3D' and thought I would share my table favours that will be giving to all my team girls on our last team night of the year, being held next week....yikes....I might be in trouble for not keeping them secret!

Pink - Bling - Glitter - Christmas - Chocolate

What's not to love??

My Stampin' Up! team name is 'Tickled pINK', so it's only appropriate that I have a pink poinsettia flower and not a red one. I also added glitter to the edges by running the Two-way Glue Pen along the edges and dipping them into Dazzling Diamonds. I have tried to capture it in the photos, but sometimes photos just don't do the justice our creations deserve! These little gifts are just divine...if I do say so myself! ;)

You can view and purchase any of the items I have used for this project below from my online shop by clicking any of the pictures.

Global Design Project - CASEing Brian King!

#GDP012

This week the challenge over at the Global Design Project is 'CASE the Designer'.

Far Out!!! *insert clammy hands, sweat beads, heart racing - enter craftroom*

Does anyone else ever feel this way? Did you all feel this way when you CASE'ed my card a little while back? Oh my, the anxiety of CASE-ing one of my favourite people in the world, Brian King.

I'm not kidding, it was tough. But there is three things (and many more) I know about my close friend Brian: 1. He likes layers 2. He likes clean and 3. I know he thinks this little penguin from the Snow Place set is adorable!

So I set to task to give his gorgeous penguin card the justice it truly deserves. And I will say I am happy with it too. Isn't this little guy just dapper?

I really enjoyed making this card. The best part about creating something for someone, is that you think of that person the whole time you're making it. Not only was I CASE-ing my friend Brian, I was also making this card for him too! He has been such a huge support not only to the Global Design Project, but also with his friendship and I am so blessed to call him my friend. 

The best part about this stamp set is that not only is the set just too cute, but it comes with matching Framelits, so no fussy cutting! Yay. 

Thanks for stopping by, I hope you enjoyed my Global Design Project creation this week. Be sure to go and admire our amazing Design Team and also play along with us this week too!

Global Design Project - Christmas Tree

This week over at the Global Design Project our challenge is a Theme challenge and one of my favourite things to celebrate, Christmas. I know you will LOVE all the project the Design Team have created, you will be blown away and so inspired to get Christmas crafting.

I decided I would share my handmade Burlap Ribbon Christmas Tree, finished off with Gold Glimmer 3D star. I made it using a foam cone purchased from Spotlight and used pins to secure the looped ribbon pieces. I will say it was a labour of love, however I am loving the results as it sits in elegantly on my coffee table.

Thanks for stopping by, I hope you enjoyed my Global Design Project creation this week. Be sure to go and admire our amazing Design Team and also play along with us this week too!

INKspired Blog Hop - Timeless Love

Hello!! I am excited today. A few reasons.

1. It's our 29th INKspired Blog Hop, you may have just hopped here from my bestfriend Kabrina, she amazes me every week her creations. Please make sure you let her know how fabulous she is!

2. My super beautiful cousin (in-law...well, she's still mine, even if she is related to my husband) is celebrating her birthday today and even though I'm not with her, she knows how much I love her and how grateful I am she is on our lives. Happy Birthday Karen, hope you managed a sleep in and are being suitably spoilt.

3. Today is Sunday in Australia and I am currently in Melbourne, having tea and toast with my beautiful team. Yesterday was the latest Stampin' Up! event called Onstage Local. We had a WOW of a time! Lots of screaming and squealing and by WOW...I mean we really couldn't stop saying WOW, WOW, WOW!! I can't wait to until I can share all the new upcoming goodies that are soon to be released. Stay tuned. You will be WOW'ed too!

Here is our latest sketch created by Teneale, and I will say that I did struggle at first until I remembered my Stampin' friend Jessica Williams say 'Timeless Love' is her favoutite stamp set, so I decided to dig it out and see what I could come up with!

I will return in a couple days to show you pictures from Onstage Local in Melbourne and the fun we had! Moving onto another one of my favourite crafters, Barbara. I know you won't be disappointed with her beautiful card this week, make sure you let her know how amazing she is.
