HELP.......

Hello lovely ladies.
Well it has been quite a while since I last blogged. Like everything and everyone life really does take over and before you know it 2 months have passed us by with a blink of an eye. The Maher household has been quite busy of late, we have had great friends of ours visit from Canberra, hubby has had his 30th birthday bash and amongst all that both of us have been working out of town quite a bit. Hubby has been in Home Hill and I have been about 30km from Greenvale at the Lynd Junction, we are building 21km of road (I am an Project Administrator for Watpac) so don't personally get on the end of the shovel but do all of there paperwork, and boy is there some paperwork sometimes I think it would be easier to get on the end of the shovel or be the stop go girl...

So apart from working non stop and hubby's birthday over I now have time to concentrate on events that I have planned for the next half of the year and one of those events is my 30th Grrrrrrrr. I am slowly accepting that I am not going to be in my 20's for much longer but gosh it's hard. So why not go out with a bang hey, and nothing better than a PARTY. I know I'm a little early (30 in November) but I actually got a little excited yesterday and started on an invitation for myself. I really liked how it turned out but it is missing something off the front and this is where I would like you guys to come in with your creativeness. Can you please help me, I am thinking a sparkly 30 down the bottom corner or party... not quite sure.Please tell me what you think!

Anyway, lovely ladies have to get back to my jobs, going out with my bestie that I haven't seen for about 2 months later today.

Take care and hope to be back here soon.

Kylie.

Excitement.....

Morning all,

Wow I am totally gobsmacked, my little ol' card that I submitted in for Makeesha's Sketch Challenge has won. I am still trying to pick myself off the floor, it's very exciting to see your name and your designs on other demonstrators web pages and that they have taken the time to come visit my little piece of the www.

Anyway, sometime ago I entered a card in a Mojo Monday sketch challenge, and adored it so much that I have made a wedding set out of it. Each week I will show you a piece of the set. But for today I will start with the Wedding Invitation, a little bright for a wedding but with all white linen I think it wouldn't look to bad. You will get 1 invitation per Rose Red CS (outside) and you will get 3 invites out of the CS and DSP in the middle. So here it is and also a reminder of the card that was my inspiration.

Supplies: Stamps - Fifth Ave Floral

Card Stock - Rose Red, Pink Pirouette, Kiwi Kiss, Vellum, Whisper White, Raspberry Tart DSP

Accessories - Crystal Effects, Daubers, Pretties Kit, Clear Emboss Powder, Heat Gun

Pocket Silhouettes Invitation

Hi all.

I thought I would share with you a very easy and cost effective invitation. I love making invitations and actually I have made quite a few sets of them, I made my own wedding invitations, my sister-in-laws wedding invitations also her hens party and my other sister-in-laws baby shower as well as my past work's Corporate Invites... Wow, come to think of it I have done quite a few.

I have used Pocket Silhouettes and also Please Come stamp sets accented with Raspberry Tart DSP on Pink Pirouette base with Blush Blossom and tied it off with White Grosgrain Ribbon that I dyed with my dauber and Pink Pirouette ink (I think I have just found my new favouritist technique - daubing). And also I have stamped my vines into my Whisper White envelope so the whole set matches.

I hope you enjoy and see what you can create using this simple but effective template
