2012 unblogged: Sympathy cards 2

 Hello again,

well here is my second sympathy card for last year. Lots of fussy cutting but I thought the end effect would be worth it.

 

Next installment will be a few masculine cards starting with something "super" special for my DH.

 

Thanks for visiting,

Kim

2012 unblogged wedding cards Day 1

Hello there,
well Christmas kind of hit me at light speed and I never made it back here (I did make it to the beach however :). So rather than wishing you all a Merry Christmas I'd like to send you my best wishes for 2013.

I decided the way I wanted to end 2012 and begin 2013 was to try and get some of my unblogged work blogged ;). To start off with I have three wedding cards - all commissions. My first commissions in fact - which was wonderful and a bit scary too. If all goes to plan I will add some sympathy cards, a stack of masculine cards and a few other special cards in the weeks to come. So please drop in to have a look. I'll keep the chatter to a minimum, and my recipes will be a bit of guesswork but I hope you enjoy my peek back to 2012.

Here we go - wedding card 1 made for a beach wedding in Fiji I think it was.

Recipe: My best guess
Stamps: Stampin Up! (Loving thoughts) Papertrey Ink(On the farm, Beautiful Butterflies, Background basics Text Style)
Cardstock: Whisper White, Pool Party
Ink: Pool Party, Not Quite Navy, Real Red, Crumb Cake

2012 Convention Swaps

Hello there,

well I've been very happily occupied with attending the Australian/ New Zealand SU! Convention for the last day or two (big smile). In the lead up I was flat out trying to get swaps and a special little pressie for my fellow  JAI  design teammates ready. As a consequence I just didn't have the time do something for this weeks Just Add Ink challenge :( Luckily it was my "off" week. But do go to JAI and see what others on the DT have come up with for another great challenge. Since by now my convention swaps have been swapped I thought it would be a good occaision to actually post them! I made three different swaps. Here they are.

Made in three colour ways

Number two

Number three (this one was a re-creation I first blogged it here, for a JAI inspiration challenge)

In total I made 60 (not of each) and just finished them by the skin of my teeth. As to the little pressie's for my JAI teammates well I hope to blog that sometime soon ;)

Thanks for dropping by :)
Kim
