Hope you are ready to see some more sneak peeks of the stamps that will be released into the AnnaBelle Store this coming Friday. Today, Andrea, Tobi and I will be showing you some projects made with one of the new sets called Cherry Blossom. Here’s mine.

Be sure to stop by the ABS blog each day this week to see more peeks at the other sets and then a full reveal on Friday night at 8pm AEST with a DT blog hop and a chance to win the whole release.

Head on over to Andrea and Tobi’s blogs to see what they have created with this new set.

Thanks for stopping by,

I am back with another card for the Muse Card Club.

This week I wanted to do something a little different – so I have made a shaped card. I purchased a cute Sizzix Big Owl #2 die from a craft expo that I recently went to – and I love it! (Therese – I’ve finally used it!)

Maybe you will be inspired by making a shaped card or using an owl or some other bird on your project. It is totally up to you. I can’t wait to see how my card inspires you this week.

Here are some of the guidelines if you are unfamiliar with how Muse works.

• Use the Muse card as inspiration, explain your interpretation and link back to Muse.
• Provide supportive comments to at least 3 of your fellow member’s submissions.
• Vote for 3 of your fellow member’s submissions that you find inspiring, once voting opens.

For the full challenge guidelines go here.

Until next time,

Hello. It is Friday again. This week at AnnaBelle Stamps we have a fun theme challenge for you. Who doesn’t like polka dots?

I have to give full credit to Sue Kohler and her idea of using the AnnaBelle stamps ‘Shape it Up stamp’ set and turning it into a flower. Check hers out here. Here is my take on it.

Be sure to check out the rest of the Belles’ projects – their links are on my side bar.

And in other news, I’m not sure if you have seen, but I am one of the guest designers in the current online class Summer Card Class 2. I am super excited to be involved and very honoured at the same time. This class is really jam packed with videos and fun techniques. Check it out here.

Happy Friday Peeps!

Long time no blog! I have good reason for my absence – I have been sick! I am still not 100% and it is dragging into its third week, but this winter’s flu got me good and proper. But I think I am FINALLY on the mend, but no crafting has been done until yesterday.

This week at AnnaBelle Stamps the Belles are teasing you with sneak peeks of some stamps that will be released into the store very soon. Make sure you visit all the Belles blogs to check out their awesome creations.

Last week I didn’t play along, but TWO news Belles were introduced to the AnnaBelle DT. Please stop by Tobi and Marcia’s blog to welcome them – even if it is a week late! Welcome ladies. I can’t wait to see what you guys create each week.

My card this week was inspired by Cristina Kowalczyk. I loved this card of hers and pinned it immediately – that girl comes up with the MOST clever ideas sometimes. Here is my humble version of hers.

Be sure to check out the rest of the Belles’ projects for some more sneak peaks – their links are on my side bar. Lots of fun is coming to the store soon.

Thanks for stopping by,
