Stamps Ahead

One of the benefits in being a Stampin'Up! demonstrator is that you have access to a wide range of templates that are available on their demonstrator website. Here is an 'easy as' 6" x 6" scrapbook page using the template as well as just Urban West rubons - no stamping needed. Enjoy. Margaret Images: (c) 1990-2008 Stampin'Up!

Back in August, I wrote that I was making christmas cards for a fellow stamper to raise funds for the Hemophillic Association, well Marelle has sent me one of her cards as a thank you. It is great to get mail from friends and family in Australia and overseas. Thanks Marelle. Images: (c) 1990-2008 Stampin' Up! (r) Images: Marelle Taylor

Tonight, I am participating in a cyberchallenge with my SU group, The INKlings, Alana is setting the challenges tonight, it is also her birthday - Happy Birthday Alana. Our first challenge was a colour challenge using Bali Breeze DSP from new mini - alas I have not got mine yet, so I pictured what a hotel in Bali would have hanging on their wall. Here is my contribution. Images: (C) 1990-2008 Stampin'Up! (r) Artwork: Margaret L Crawford The second challenge was to do a scrapbooking page based on a card sketch found at SCS . I turned the sketch around to fit the picture taken last week on LiJiang River, Yangshou. I had had my photo taken by so many students at this early stage of the trip, that for this one I decided 'model pose'. Well all week students would say 'model pose' it was fun and a good memory.
