A Friends Birthday Card

Hi all, 
I thought I would just show you this card that I made for a dear Stampin'Up friend of mine 
who is leaving and going to another state to live.
It was her birthday last Friday and I wanted a card that was a bit special so that she 
knows that my love goes with her and her family.

For this card I used the new Greeting Card Kids and Itty Banners stamp sets,
Baja Breeze and Whisper White card stock,
Perfect Poka Dots embossing folder,
Basic Grey Classic Stamp Pad, 
Rhinestones, 
Pink Pirouette taffeta ribbon, 
Many Marvelous Markers, 
Stampin' Glitter and 2-Way Glue Pen, 
Bitty Banners Framelits and Labels Collection Framelits to cut the window in the card and I then used the cut out piece of white card stock for the little girl adhered to the inside of the card. 
I finished the inside of the card by adding detail to the inserted Framelit with the Paper-Piercing Pack and Mat. 
I love these stamps and I will be using them a lot more.
I think I may have a class in the New Year just using these stamp sets for cards , etc.

I hope you enjoyed this card, keep popping back to see more new designs in the New Year.
Fun to all, Gail.

Fayette

Hi everyone,
I thought I would post a picture of a scrapbook page I made using Stampin'Up! punches to make hand made flowers. I made this page for the Perth Heartfelt Stampin' Event. The flowers could be used for anything, cards, bags, boxes or anything that needs some dimension.
I have used a picture of my beautiful little dog called Fayette (Little Angel).
Fayette is my best little friend and companion, love her.
I hope you enjoy this happy and bright page quite different from my usual style.
Cheers Gail.

Scrapbook Page

Hi everyone, welcome back.

The post for today is a scrapbook page I have done for my granddaughters birthday.
I have not posted a picture as I do not like to have images on the internet also you can imagine your own photo in the place I have created for the photo.
The space for the photo is 6" x 8".
I will be posting more scrapbook pages in the future as I like to use the 12" x 12" papers in the Stampin"up! range.
The new class schedule will be posted soon for mid September.
Not long before it will be time to start our Christmas cards and decorations.
Be back soon.
Gail.
