A Pocketful of Joy

Wishing you a 'pocketful of joy' and a very happy Christmas Day!  

I had the most amazing surprise when I finally got to looking at The Stampers' Sampler Autumn, 2012 issue and found this two page spread of my Christmas pockets!  

Happy Christmas everyone!

The Stampers' Sampler Cover Girl!!!

This was in the mail yesterday... that's my card on the front cover.  What a thrill!!!

and a two page spread inside!

I have so much news to share from the past month or so, and I'm nearly on holidays, so I shall catch you up on what's been happening in my little world really soon! 

April in Paris

'Eiffel Tower'

As mentioned in a previous post I've had the thrill of discovering one of my 'Just Say Moo' samples on the cover of The Stampers' Sampler. I thought I'd post some close-ups of this and the other two Moo's I submitted for this challenge at Stampington.





All the gorgeous rubber is from Oxford Impressions 'April in Paris' plate.

'Mode'

'Prince'

Theme Thursday - 4" x 4"

When I sat down to create this 4" x 4"piece for 'Theme Thursday', I decided that I'd only use products within easy reach. So things found on the table or the floor next to me were the only options... it helped me make quick decisions. Mind you there's still a lot to choose from, even when I cut it back to only things in easy reach. Perhaps I should take a photo of my floor! You'd be amazed what I find there!

All the gorgeous stamped images are by Stampington.



Speaking of Stampington, it looks like I've got a piece on the front cover (top right hand side) of The Stampers' Sampler August/September issue. I haven't received my copy yet... can't wait to see which pieces they chose to use for this issue.

Tea House and More!

'Tea House'

One of The Stampers' Sampler's June/July '09 challenges was 'Fushia Frenzy' - creating with the vibrant colour - fushia! I created a house shaped banner using layers of fabric, vintage sheet music and some whimsical images by Character Constructions. I really love the floral fabric used in the middle section of the banner and it only cost me 10 cents - what a bargain!

And then I had a huge surprise to find a two page article called 'Matching Packaging' featuring some work I created based around a brown paper bag.

See the sweet, innocent image by ARTchix Studio! I think he's gorgeous :)

As you can see, my photos were literally taken just before I packed them up to mail them to Stampington. Actually, truth be told, I'd possibly already packed them and had to undo it all to get a pic! It's always a mad rush at the end for me :)


Thanks Fiona - Matching Packaging wouldn't have happened without you!

Sephi has a gorgeous card in the 'Polka Dots on Parade' section and Jo has a stunner in 'Fushia Frenzy' too. Congratulations girls!!!
