Carina Christmas Card Workshop

I had a fantastic time on Sunday at our Carina venue for our Annual Paper Angels Christmas Card Workshop! (There will be more photos to come once I receive them from the other demonstrators.)






We all had a ball making our cards and giving out raffle prizes. We raised over $700 for our charity (Mater Mothers Bereavement Support Program) in the raffle tickets alone!
The raffle prizes were amazing - huge baskets of Stampin' Up! product including punches, cardstock, inkpads, Pretties Kit, stamps and more!

There was also a card competition with first prize being a Simply Sent kit valued at over $80!

You'll also see more photos after our Pine Rivers venue this coming Sunday.

If you are interested in attending, we still have a few spots available at our Cleveland and Macleay Island venues on the 1st and 9th of November. Contact me ASAP to book.

More scrap challenge cards

I managed to make a few more cards using my pre-stamped images and scraps.


I looked for scraps large enough to layer my images onto. I then coloured my images with the matching inks and an aquapainter. I also tried to find matching ribbons where possible.

You may notice I used Kraft cardstock as the card base for most of them. It goes so beautifully with ANY colour combination.

Scrap Challenge

I have a big pile of scraps building up in one of my drawers. I've set myself a challenge to use up as many of the scraps as possible. I also have a lot of pre-stamped images so I've added that into the challenge too.

Here are some pics of my scraps and images:



I've started trimming the images down and layering them onto scraps of coloured card stock. Once that is done I will start making them into cards.

Do you have lots of scraps and/or images that need using up? Send me a pic of your scrap pile and some cards you've made with it. I'll post pics of my faves here on the blog.

Here are some cards I made last night with my scraps and images:
