Challenge yourself

2007-06-08T21:09:00.000-07:00

Here is a sample of a cybercrop challenge i participated in last night. We had 3 challenges, a scrapbook page and 2 cards.

It is always a bit scary when you do anything in life that is out of your comfort zone, but the feeling of satisfaction you get when you look and see what you have accomplished is worth the effort.

I challenge you today go ahead and try a new craft or go and get a new hair cut ( it can always grow back if you don't like it ) just step out of your comfort zone you may be amazed at how good it feels and how much you can accomplish.

I would love to hear about your ventures of a new challenge where you have stepped out of your comfort zone.

Happy Mother's Day

Here is a Mother's Day card using the poppin pastel technique.
"Images copyright Stampin' Up! 1990-2007"

contact me if you wish to learn this or any of the other techniques you see displayed here.

After a very busy week, which I think i wouldn't make it through alive!! Just turned 3 son has a cold again and I picked up the stomach bug, thankfully we are finally on the mend.

How was your Mother's Day? Hope you got breakfast in bed or were taken out for Breakfast or lunch.

My darling Husband bought me some Gerberas ( my favourite flower ), Max made a lovely flower gift at preschool and we headed out for breakfast at the coffee shop and lunch with the family so I was very blessed indeed for my Mother's Day.

2007-05-16T20:16:00.000-07:00

Here is an example of a card you could use for a thank you or birthday card.

The colours are bright and go well together and I love the use of pastel to colour the final stamped image to add a bit of difference.

2007-05-11T04:39:00.000-07:00

Wow just held my first Stampin Up! workshop and had a great night thanks to the company of 5 lovely ladies.

We made a lovely Mother's Day card and did lots and lots of talking as women do best!!
