I won a sketch challenge!

July 1, 2009

Well the results are in from the sketch challenges I entered a couple of weeks ago, and I won one! The members of the SU demonstrators forum that the challenges were for are able to vote on their favourite entry in each category.  This is the card I created that won one of the categories:

Cards 079

I used the Good Morning Sunshine Designer Series Paper. I didn’t really like this paper when I first saw it (not really my colours, and what’s with the pears? Just weird!) but it is growing on me as I use little bits of it. I really like this particular piece from the pack and I was really pleased with how this card turned out. I also used the Fun and Fast Notes stamp set and the greeting is from the Best Yet hostess set.

Thanks to all the ladies on the forum that voted for my card! And also to everyone else who entered the challenges, it was a lot of fun!


One last Unconvention project

July 1, 2009

During Unconvention we were issued with daily challenges (actually several a day!), some “make and takes” which we were given the instructions for, and five major projects, which we were able to buy the kit with the instructions and all the materials included.

The major projects are gorgeous but very involved and as yet I have not even started any of them – but I will! One make and take that I did complete was a “Handbag Gift Card Holder” which is a super cute little card in the shape of a handbag, and on the inside is two little pockets to hold gift cards, vouchers, or messages.

I made this one with retired papers but I am teaching the girls in my Stampin’ Up! team how to make them this weekend, so I will be making another one using current papers.

If you’re interested in learning how to make them then why not let me know and I will organise a class or a workshop for you and your friends! Or better yet, why not join my Stampin’ Up! team so you can learn HEAPS of fun and fabulous new techniques and enjoy the benefits of being a demonstrator!
