Repertory

Hi all it's been sooo long since I've blogged but, I have had some good excuses. We are nearly at the end of calving with only 18 cows to go. It's been a good spring. Also I had been doing Wardrobe for Hawera Repertory's The Gingerbread Lady which finnished last weekend, so with the early mornings and late nights I haven't had any time to blog let alone stamp. But wait there's more here are two cards that I did manage to get done for the cast and Director of the show. I was asked to make a card for Donald and this is what I came up with.

I did a gate fold card.

Thank you Kristina for allowing us to take up the challenge, and giving us colours to think about.

I was waiting by the computer this afternoon to see if the next Kristina Werner challenge-46 had been posted and it had been. The challenge has become a ritual for me and keeps me stamping in between working, being a mum, and doing all the other stuff us mums do everyday.

This weeks challenge had me stumped for a while as I had the base of my card complete and then I did'nt know what to put on it next but inspiration came to me and away I went again.
