And they lived happily ever after...

When we think of marriage, we think of romance. What is more romantic, than sitting next to your love watching the sunset together. With that thought in mind, I made this card to celebrate an upcoming wedding.

I used old olive, daffodil delight and tangerine tango to create my sunset scene. I used the sentiments from Big News and the couple and love hearts from Beautiful Ride.

Today's blog post will be a featured project on Kylie Bertucci's International Stampin' Up!  Blog Highlight  from 6.30pm AEDT. If you like my project, please follow the link and vote for me. Don't forget to check out the other amazing projects from crafters all over the world.

Little Baby - #GDP003

I find it very interesting how my mood changes what I choose to create with. The theme, Baby, doesn't often lead to someone picking up some black, white and tip top taupe DSP, but today it did.

Most people would focus on the blue, pinks or maybe even lemon colours, but not me today.

No cute images, just straight to the point with a little gold thrown in to celebrate the occasion.

So you may wonder if someone close to me is about to hear the pitter patter of tiny feet soon. The answer is, not that I know of this time. Today I am playing along with the Global Design Project challenge theme - Baby.

Once I put this card together I knew it needed a little something, so I popped on a gold button and added some white twine. A little element without being a gender choice. This card will sit in my stash waiting for the right opportunity to find a new home.

Its begining to look a lot like Christmas

I know Christmas is still some time off, but it certainly does creep up very quickly and my class attendants have been requesting some more Christmas cards.

So with that in mind I decided to get cracking on a Christmas design.

This card also gives you a sneak peek of an image from the "Among the Branches" stamp set which will be available for purchase from the 1st September.

My card today was inspired by Pals Paper Arts #264 sketch. Follow the link and you will find some other wonderful cards which were also inspired by this sketch.

Crazy Crafters Colour Combo Blog Hop

Thanks for joining The Crazy Crafters team blog hop. This is time we had to choose a combo of colours from the Stampin' Up! pintrest board for inspiration. There were so many to choose from. As it is the July/August period and this is a huge birthday time in my family, I thought I should combine creating for the Blog Hop and doing some of the birthday cards I need to do. 

This is the picture which I took some inspiration from.

This is the tenth stop in our Colour Combo blog hop line. You should have just come from  Sue Wdowik at Nigh Nigh Birdie , if this is your first stop then you can work your way to every blog from here. If you get off track at any time, the full lineup below will help you move along from blog to blog so you the full hop. 

My first creation uses the new stamp set in the 2014-2015 Annual Catalogue called Boys Will Be Boys. This was actually on the top of my wish list when I first saw the catalogue. My son loves robots and lego, so I knew I would use it. Just because the term "boys" is used in the naming of this set, doesn't mean that it can't be used for girls. This card has been designed as a birthday card for a young girl, change the colours and it could be for either gender.

Boys Will Be Boys- Inside the card

In this card I've used a combination of Big News and Garden Party stamp sets, both are available in the current Annual Catalogue. I love the pretty little images in this stamp set, you can combine them in all sorts of ways.

This is my final card for this months Blog Hop, it uses the Be the Star stamp set. The group of small stars have been heat embossed in silver, to give the card that extra little something. I also used the star punch from the Itty Bitty Punch Pack Accents, punched out some Daffodil Delight card stock and raised them with dimensionals.
