I decided to make a little Christmas scene – with snow and all. Very un-Australian…our Christmas’ are usually spent finding places to cool off! I wonder what a cold Christmas would be like? And snow – well I can count on one hand the number of times I have experienced snow – I think the novelty would wear off with me as I hate being cold. Give me a hot day, any day! But I am digressing…

Snow scene

I even used glitter! Another rarity for me. I think I wore glitter for the rest of the day 🙂

Just saying hello at Muse #39

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

Just saying hello

This card was inspired by a new blue and white stripe t-shirt that I bought for my daughter. It goes to show that inspiration can be found anywhere. The little bird die cut is nestled in so it has a flush finish. I love doing this.

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.

Hello butterfly

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.
