Priceless Butterfly Paperclips

Well, I am moved in and slowly unpacking. Who knows how long we will be here for, so not getting too settled in! I am so happy to have proper access to the internet and blogger!

I am not sure if I have posted these before, but if not, here they are! I love the butterfly from the Priceless stamp set, and thought these paperclips were just super cute!

A quick photo or two to share

These photos are a bit old, but thought I would share them seeing as I have no creations to show you!

This one is from June 2008 at Dreamworld And this one is from about a month ago sitting on Craigie's racecar!

Catchup

I know its late, but that seems like the only excuse I have these days! I would have thought I would have all the time in the world now that I have finished work, but I have not stopped travelling, doing my craft and spending time with my family since!

In saying that, I am also organising removals, cleaning the house constantly for open inspections, and trying to keep the little man in as much of a routine as possible!

In saying that, we are staying in Brisbane for a week, to spend some time with hubby, before heading back home to pack up the house and move again!

So with all that said, you wont be seeing ANY creations for me for quite some time, at least until I am set up at our new place!

I will also cut the challenges for now, but please keep checking back every now and then - I will still update every now and again.

Keep safe and happy!

Peace out, dudes!

Entries from last challenge

I know its late, but I am finally here with the entries from my last challenge. I only had 2 entries, so I didnt choose a winner, but thought I would still show them to you!

First up is Natasha (http://natashamurraystamping.blogspot.com) And the second was from Leah (http://stampinwithleah.blogspot.com)
Hope more can play along in my next challenge!

Mel's Stamping Challenge #16

Well, you knew it would be the first challenge back, that I were to choose this gorgeous pic for the inspiration!

This was taken in Canberra while was there for Convention. I swear that the locals would have thought we were MAD tourists, taking photos of treese all the time! But they were so gorgeous, and something I dont see where I live, so I took full advantage!

Anyway, onto the inspiration... Colours to use are: More Mustard, Ruby Red, Garden Green / Old Olive, Chocolate Chip and a Neutral of your choice.

PLEASE NOTE:

I am making my challenges fortnightly again, to give people more time to get their entries in, so in saying that, the due date for your entries will be 7pm, 27th May 2009. I will be away then, so I will have a new challenge posted before I choose a winner for this one.

Good luck!

My Convention Swaps

Morning all!

I am here with the swaps I had at Convention. I actually didnt photograph my other one, and with all of the awesome swaps I have been pouring over during the last week, I cant even remember what the last swap was! How bad is that!

Anyway, here they are!

And here is one of the bags I decorated for my roomies. I didnt photograph everything that was inside, but I think the girls loved them!

As requested!

It has taken me a while to upload this photo, but here it is! The infamous 'Dawson' photo!I am officially a lady of leisure now, so I will be on more often with new creations. Plus, I also have to post photos of my swaps, and the goodies I received! Stay tuned!

I'M BACK!

Convention was great - I loved spending a weekend with ladies who were as addicted to stamping as much as I was! We swapped, shared ideas, indulged in fine foods, stayed uo late talking and of course, were inspired by every last bit of the event itself!

How cold was it???? This is a photo of my poor hand, wrapped up warmly in my gloves, which until the last mihnute, I wasn't going to even take with me! Brrrr, it was COLD! Now most people who know me, and where I have lived for the past few years, I do not mix well with the cold, so it seemed like I whinged and whinged and whinged! But I made it through the freezing weekend to return home to rainy weather and my lovely warm house! Now, I want to show you this photo - not the best (my camera was playing up!) but I love it all the same! This is me and my 3 roomies - Karen, Julie and Leah. We spent a great few days together, and I was sad to see them go! I am looking forward to seeing Julie and Leah more often when we move shortly, and hopefully Karen can organise a get together for her downline in the future, so its not so long between visits!

Anyway, I will be back with more photos, but as I am home alone for a few days (yes, you heard correctly, HOME ALONE!) I thought I would take as much opportunity to stamp stamp stamp! This will only last til Wednesday!

Til next time, ROCK ON!

Non-Stampin' Up!

Here is a photo of one of the script words my mum and I have been working on! So cute, I reckon! Again, just a quick post! So much to do, and I am running out of time!

Priceless Butterfly

Good morning all!

Here are some cards I made using the butterfly from the Priceless stamp set. I realise that the papers are not Stampin' Up!, but I loved them so much, I couldnt resist! This card is a 3x3" Gift card
And this one is an A5 card. I like this one the best.

Just a quick post from me today! Still heaps to do before Convention!
