Autumn Days

I hope you’ve been enjoying the bits from Convention I’ve been posting. Today I’m taking a break as its another Sketchy Saturday – Utah Divas Sketchy Saturday that is :)

This is this weeks sketch …

Now I thought to myself that I hadnt really changed anything on Carol’s lovely sketches for a while so it was time to alter it in some way so I rotated it.  Sorry Carol couldnt help myself once I realised!!

I have to say I loved making this card!  As soon as I saw my lovely friend Lisa making her Convention swap card I knew I had to make one with a grassy theme.  I knew what I wanted to do once I saw the sketch and rotated it – I just had to find a saying to go with it. So after searching the Idea Book & Catalogue I found one that I think fits.

Here is my card ….

I’ve used the wonderful Autumn Days stamp set. Now when I first saw this set I thought  “oooooo I like that” but then thinking about it wondered if I’d use it much but I’m happy to say that yes I do use it a bit. Its an awesome set for those man type cards and also ones for doing landscape stamping too. The Pheasant that comes with it is rather nice too!

The sentiment I used is from the Dreams du Jour stamp set – another I wondered if I’d use much which I have!

The patterned paper comes from the Autumn Traditions Designer Series Paper pack.

This is a very simple card to make and I’d really love to show you just how easy it is so ring me or email me to book your demonstration in! June and July are already filling up so you’ll need to be quick! Or why not sign up and become part of my Stamp A Latte Team and I’ll help you with your launch demonstration and you get to keep the sales and the bookings!

Now its time to skip along to the very lovely Max’s blog to see what she’s made. You can also check out all those on the Sketch Design Team over at the Utah Divas International Blog.

Diva Sketch Birthday

This weekend is a special Utah Divas International Sketch as it also happens to be our lovely Sketch Queen Carol’s birthday!

So Carol wishing you a doubly blessed birthday for today and may you be blessed with lots of love, presents and cake! Make sure you have an extra piece on my behalf!

Now as I’ll be at the Stampin’ Up!® Convention in Sydney next weekend and Miss E has her best friend’s birthday party to go to I thought I’d make this card for Alanis now.  Means I wont stress on Wednesday night when I’ve realised I haven’t done it!

Now Miss E and her friend are going through a ‘not pink’ phase so this is why we’ve gone with orange and red which are Alanis’ favourite colours.

Recipe
Stamps: Party Hearty, Sweet Little Sentiments
Inks: So Saffron, Real Red, Only Orange, Pixie Pink, Summer Sun
Paper: Pumpkin Pie, Whisper White, Washington Apple
Accessories: Real Red Brad, stampin dimensionals, mat pack, paper piercing tool, circle scissor plus, snail adhesive.

I do hope you like the card. I quite like it even though these are colours I wouldnt normally use but I do like the Washington Apple DSP and should really use it more – its suitable for both male and female cards and projects.

I still have lots to get done before Thursday and am really excited to be meeting alot of lovely demonstrator friends I’ve made through the ESAD-SU group and some I’ll be meeting for the first time this year.

Thursday night is the Manager’s Reception – this is for all demonstrators of Manager level (me) and above to meet the staff from Head Offices in Australia and New Zealand as well as Shelli Gardner (CEO and Co-Founder) and the team from the Home Office in Utah.

Then Convention kicks off early Friday morning and finishes on Saturday night with the awards dinner.

Its all very exciting and really not sure I can wait another 5 sleeps!

Now its time to skip onto the lovely Max’s blog - Max is actually the lady who started Utah Divas group many moons ago and is very blessed as she works at the Stampin Up! Home Office in Utah, USA.
