What have I been doing?

Well the calving season is well behind me now and AB has finished, and now I am out of the cowshed YEA!!!!! I have found time to stamp and I even took attend a class where I was a participant and it was great. I teach a card class once a month and I was fortunate to be able to attend a craft morning with these wonderful ladies. We did what is called a reversed canvas, really easy loads of fun and very messy ink, glue everywhere.
I also entered some paper crafts into the local A & P show and got 1st, 2nd and 3rds, in 3 catergories which was fab. Also took out the Banana Cake competition. Alexander my nearly 7 yr old has been busy also at the A&P show coming 1st with his cupcakes and also took his lambs Harry and Hermione. Harry was a laugh, but Hermione was the winner on the day coming 3rd Best Pet Land and 3rd Best (fancy) dressed, the theme was recycling. I will place some photos of Alex and Hermione on here soon.

RIP RAMBO


It was with regret that I had to get our 16 yr old cat Rambo put down today. He all of a sudden couldn't use his back legs so I rushed him to the vet's, they said that a blood clot had gone through his heart and was in an artery going to his legs. No recovery so I made the decision to have him rest with Blackie forever.

Time for a Renovation - A Colour Renovation



















Well this is a little late in coming but two posts in one day. Stampin Up have announced world wide that BIG changes are afoot in the Colour Families, and they have allowed us to share this great news with all of you. With these changes Stampin Up are striving to stay up to date with all trends that are out there.

Our new colour palette will consist of four colour collestions: Subtles, Brights, Neutrals and Regals.

Here's how it will all work:

25 of our current core colours will stay

10 of the current and past In-colours will now become core colours - (Melon Mambo, rich Razzleberry, Pacific Point, Soft Suede, Tangerine Tango, River Rock, Riding Hood Red, Pink Pirouette, Baja Breeze and Wild Wasabi)

5 brand new colours will become core colours - (Daffodil Delight, Early Espresso, Cajun Craze, Cherry Cobbler, and Marina Mist)

New In Colour Programme

As part of the Colour Renovation, Stampin' Up! are also making some changes to the In-colour's. Each year we will have 5 NEW In-colours, and they will remian for two years (instead of the current 1 year), this will give us all more time to enjoy the colours that we grow to love. So in September we are getting 5 new In-colours that will last until 2012, and in september 2011 we will have another 5 new incolours. That means that this year we will have 5 In-colours, but every year afterthat we will have 10 In-colours to choose from ( the previous year's plus the new one's).

As we make way for some exciting times we also have to say goodbye to some old favourties, we have 30 colours that are going to be retired. But if you need to stock up on any of this cardstock please e-mail me yogi.johno@farmside.co.nz and I can place an order for you.

I hope that you are as excited about this as I am.

Go Green - Recycle

Well I've left it until the last minute to do the "Green" challenge on Swap sisters. The challenge was to alter a recycled item, be it an egg carton or anything that we could astamp on. The possibilities are endless but my DH gave me a box that had recently been emptied of its small alochol bottles and I thought this has potential. So I covered it, sponged it, stamped it and then added punched butterflys to it. Then I thought it just need something else so what do we have alot of in the house at the moment but added an EASTER EGG and of course CHOCOLATE.




STAMPS: Vintage Vogue, Butterfly Prints
CARDSTOCK: Very Vanilla
INKS: Rich Razzleberry, Soft Suede, Old Olive
ACCESSORIES: Butterfly Punch, Recycled box, and CHOCOLATE

I really enjoyed taking up this challenge and if you would like to join Swap Sisters just send me an e-mail yogi.johno@farmside.co.nz
and I can invite you. Once you have seen the things on Swap Sisters you will have no other place to hang out.
