Just Add Ink #48

This stamp is from the Welcome Christmas stamp set, and in 5 days, we will be celebrating the birth of Jesus! The image on this card is a heart-warming reminder of time spent together with families.
Don't you just love the new satin ribbon? Its so luxurious, and gives a lovely finishing touch to your cards. And I'm loving the Jolly Holiday designer papers too.

For the next 2 weeks, this is the sketch that Just Add Ink has given us to play with:

Welcome Christmas Cards

I love the Welcome Christmas stamp set! It is a great Christmas set because it includes images and words. So you only need this set and you have Christmas sorted!
These are CASEs from a couple of cards out of a set that Alisa Tilsner designed for the "We Stamp For Lara" fundraiser. Alisa designed a couple more cards and created some wonderful instructions too :-)



The weather here in Auckland has been very hot and sunny. Summer is here!

Summer Mini Catalogue Launch

The Summer Mini catalogue is so excititing! Here is the bookmark that we made at my launch:




I saw these bookmarks on Becky Roberts blog, who has made some really gorgeous cards and projects with the Aviary stamp set.

I always like to give a little gift to my customers at the end of the year. This year was no different, so I made each of them one of these boxes which hold some Cadbury Chocolate Favourites!
The front of the box is inspired by the very talented, Jenny Moors, who made some similar cards.



My ladies were treated to this beautiful Black Forest Gateau, which I ordered form the Cheese Cake Shop:
