Teachers presents

It's that time of year again when I make presents for the kids teachers. For the last 4 years I've been making clipboards - two of these were for my kids teachers and two extras for another teacher. The clipboards also have their names at the bottom of them ........ the teachers who have received these use them on a regular basis........ and I've been told that they ALWAYS get their clipboards back as they are very clearly named.

You will also notice there is a little coordinating card and envelope under the clip of each board this is made from the offcuts of the Stampin' Up! Designer Series Papers. They have ribbons glued on to the boards and also at the top of the clipboards. I love how Stampin' Up! have co-ordinating products so the ribbons I used matched the cardstock............ gone are those days of visiting endless shops to try and find something that vaguely matched.

Colour Challenge

Ok so don't get too excited I'm posting again today ........ I'm not very good at this blogging thing.

Over the weekend I participated in a Cyberstamp with other demonstrators and we had several challenges we could do. The card that I'm about to post was one that I came up with, the only requirement was that we had to use Pacific Point, Certainly Celery, Basic Gray and Garden Green (hmm dust that colour off I don't know that I have used that colour much). Well here is what I came up with ................

Tri-shutter card

I thought it was time I started posting some cards on my blog. Here is a hurried creation I made today for a friends birthday. I love the bling butterflies made with Stampin' Up! cardstock Vellum stamped with versamark, then I have applied heat and stick powder and then Dazzling diamonds, the butterflies are then cut out and attached with a glue dot for the 3d effect. I've also used some Stampin' Up! chunky glitter for a bit more bling.

Any questions feel free to ask :-).

My first post ....... hopefully one of many more to come
