A big thank you...

... to everyone who came to our Girl's Night In fundraiser last Saturday night. We had a great night; lots of stamping, creating, eating yummy food, and lots of people walking away with prizes. Together we've raised over $750, so again, thanks so much to everyone who attended or donated in any way!

One of the games we had was a guessing competition. How many stamps do you think are in the basket? Any guesses?

Prizes Everywhere!

My dining table is literally covered with prizes - all these prizes that Stampin' Up! have generously donated for us to give away at the Girls' Night In fundraiser this Saturday night. If you'd like to come along but haven't RSVPed yet, please let me know as soon as possible! It's going to be heaps of fun, and someone has to win the prizes... why not you?

Girls Night In

You’re Invited   to a

Girls’ Night In

 

In honour of World Card Making Day, but even more importantly Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Carolyn, Ruth & I are teaming up to host a Girls Night In Craft Night. It should be heaps of fun, and all the proceeds will go towards the Cancer Council.

…How Will it Work?

 

On the night you’ll get to make some cards, tags and a 3D project. You’ll get to take home everything that you make, but all the proceeds will go towards the Cancer Council. There’ll be lots of games and prizes on the night as well – Stampin’ Up! have donated a huge boxful of stuff that we can’t wait to give away. Anyone can come along – whether you’ve done craft like this before or not!

 

Sounds like fun? Then come along! Even better, get a few friends together to form a table so that you can spend the evening with some of your favourite girl friends, helping out a good cause together!

For You

Each month the Stampin' Up! team that I'm part of, coordinated by Jayne Mercer, makes cards for Camp Quality. Jayne designed these cards and I tried them out in a few different colour combinations.

It's been hard to think about anything this week apart from the devastating fires in Victoria, and the tragic loss of life that's occurred. My thoughts, tears and prayers are with the families and communities who are effected.

Cards for Ronald McDonald House

We had a fantastic time last night. As it was World Card Making Day, a few of us got together to make some cards for Ronald McDonald House. The 5 of us completed 80 cards, as pictured above. A huge thank you to Kim, Jodie, Julie and Eunice for giving their time and money to make the cards - sorry about the diamond background stamp!

One card was aimed at kids, and one at adults. The penguin card uses "Wild About You" and "Be Happy", and is done in Tempting Turqouise and Pixie Pink - we were aiming for bright and happy! The floral card uses the "Looks Like Spring" stamp set, with Marigold Morning, Old Olive and Cranberry Crisp cards and inks. We punched out the little flower centres with the Spring Boquet flower punch.
