HAPPY NEW YEAR …

As 2015 draws to an end, I think about all the amazing things I have experienced, learned and shared with great satisfaction … all in all, I think my life is fantastic!

So … according to my watch, I have about 90 minutes before 2016 arrives as our new year … and I am ready to embrace it with gusto … I know what goals I want to achieve in 2016 and am excited to work for them to come to fruition, especially my creative goals!

… and so it is time to say farewell to 2015 and “hello 2016“.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

Thank you to everyone, from around the world, who has popped in to look at my blog.

I wish each and everyone of you a spectacularly brilliant 2016 filled with joy, love, friendship and success.

Hoping that 2016 brings greater peace and safety than so many experienced in 2015.

… INSPIRE … CREATE … SHARE …

… imagine what could be achieved if every person could fulfill one of these affirmations, in some small way, throughout 2016 …

HELLO 2016

… bring it on …

ANOTHER SNEAK PEEK …

So … Christmas 2015 has come and gone … and my husband and I enjoyed four wonderful days with our daughters in Brisbane. At 25 and almost 21 they are not yet too old for us to travel to share Christmas with them!

Back home and back to my craft room.

One of the Sale-a-bration stamp sets is the ‘Sky is the Limit’ … this is going to be a really versatile set for masculine cards but, as a mum with two adult daughters, this set will be wonderful for any card you want to make to inspire or congratulate someone of their achievements with sentiments including – ‘the sky is the limit’, ‘you send me soaring’ and ‘congratulations’ …

For my first card, using this stamp set, I wanted to achieve take-off … so, here is my version of a pull-tab card …

I stamped the ‘the sky is the limit’ sentiment inside this card and used an unevenly inked Watercolour Wash background stamp for the background.

… and remember, this stamp set is free when you order $90 from the Occasions or other current catalogue between 5 January and 31 March (while stocks last).

OOPS … FORGOT ONE!

The upcoming Occasions Catalogue also showcases Large Numbers Framelits Dies and Number of Years stamp set bundle ….

I love the large numbers … they are a great size for cardmaking.

I think I will be making this card in lots of different ways … but with the same sentiment …. after all it’s my birthday in two days and I have been 21 for almost 33 years!!
