DO NOT FAINT!!!! But I am creating a new post on my blog...to be honest it did take me a while to remember how to do it though. I thought I would just pop on here quickly and let you all know I am still around. I have been teaching full time for a while now so my time has been limited....hence no posting for months....Anyway as you have seen I have put some recent cards, pages and gifts I have made, cased and received over the last few months up for you all to have a look at. I will also put some photo's from retreat which we held a few weeks ago. Thanks to all of you who came and made it such a great weekend! Especially my twilight gals!!!

I hope all of you are fantastic! I am....it's only 10 sleeps to the Incentive trip at Noosa so can't wait!!!! A very welcome holiday!!!

FIL's Retirement Card
This is the Cd Card I made for my Father in law as it was his retirement on the weekend. Inside was a Cd which contained a photo show of his life etc.. which I love making for people!! He loved it and I was really happy with how the Card turned out.

I used the Apple Cider papers which are in the Spring Mini with Close To Cocoa , Really Rust and Choc Chip cardstock....Added a ribbon and a bit of hodge podge to make it more manly and voila!

These are a great idea for Xmas...If you are giving someone a Cd then why not make the cover yourself....

Sorry Rob!!! I just realised you were poking your head in as well on the photo with all of us!!! PS. I love that comment you left on Shelli's blog about Vern...too Funny

If you guys didn't realise Shelli Gardner who is the Cofounder and CEO of Stampin' Up! has her very own blog....Go and check it out....
