Happy New Year! We are home from our mammoth Christmas holiday/adventure, visiting so many family and friends (we clocked about 3500kms all up). It was lovely seeing everyone but boy does it feel good to be home. There is no place like home 🙂

This week at AnnaBelle Stamps it is time for this month’s challenge, which is a sketch.

We are having the most beautiful summer weather here on the South Coast. It was a cool and overcast 24 degrees today, unlike the majority of NSW! At my parent’s farm in North West NSW, it was a sweltering 44 degrees (that’s 111.2 degrees Fahrenheit!) Boy am I glad for our cool, coastal sea breezes. My card today reflects the warm colours of summer.

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

Don’t forget that Andrea is having a huge AnnaBelle Stamps sale where you can save 30% on ALL stamps!

Until next time,

Hello. This week it is my turn at the Muse Card Club.

This is something a little different for me as I very rarely decorate the inside of a card. Well I think I have certainly made up for it this time. I got out my trusty punches and put them to work. Here is the inside of the card.

I used Bazzill Swiss dots card stock to add some interest to the punched flowers. The sentiment was computer generated.

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

Hi everyone,

It is time for a new monthly challenge at AnnaBelle Stamps.

I do find colour challenges a bit tricky, but once I selected some inks that matched the above colours, it all came together quite quickly. I masked off the heart and stamped away until the whole card front was covered. I added some rhinestones to some of the flower centres to add some sparkle.

Thanks for stopping by,

Welcome to another Friday Feature at AnnaBelle Stamps. This week Belles are showcasing the new Scribble Scrabble sets – Round and Round and In the Square. You can save 20% off the Friday Feature stamp sets – so what are you waiting for? Head here.

I decided to use purple – not a colour I am generally fond of, but it’s good to challenge oneself – right?

Be sure to check out the rest of the Belles’ projects to see how they have used these sets – their links are on my side bar.

Hello. It’s time for another sketch challenge at AnnaBelle Stamps. We have quite a simple sketch this month – so interpret it any way you like.

To create the rainbow chevron pattern on the tag, I used an arrow stamp from the Splat Attack stamp set. The background cross-hatch stamping on the card is BBD#5 – I just stamped it in both directions. I think I use this stamp somewhere most weeks as I love it! Tone on tone stamping rocks – in my opinion 🙂 The sentiment comes from BBD#8.
