Kristina Werner Challenge #49

Time for another Kristina Werner Challenge and I just love the colours this week.

The pattern in this fabric is so 'in' right now and although I wasn't all that in love with it when I first started to see it around, I have definately learnt to love it. In fact, due to Stampin' Up!'s current catalogues section on Style Watch I have taken quite nicely to the 'Retro Fresh' style and already have 2 of the stamp sets - 'Good Friend' and 'Trendy Trees'; as well as the On Board 'So Tweet' in my collection and endeavour to have so much more!!! I believe Retro is making a come back!

So back to the challenge, I have definately followed the Retro style this week and as you can see I have used one of the On Board pieces and a stamp from the set 'Good Friend'. I also experimented with a new punch from the 2009-2010 Ideas Book and Catalogue called 'Heart to Heart'. I love that it gives you the choice of 3 different style hearts. I punched some of the hearts out of some new DS Paper called 'Good Morning Sunshine'.

Hope you all enjoyed my efforts this week.

Happy Crafting

Cheers

Alison

Kristina Werner Challenge #45

Time for another Kristina Challenge.

This time it was totally mono chromatic and I had the perfect reason for it. My neighbour is getting married in a few weeks and the theme will be all black and white. So when I saw this challenge I thought it was obvious what I needed to do.

As you can see I have used Crystal Effects to give the hearts a 3D, smooth and shiny look. It is o'so touchable too.

(Sorry about the orientation - but it just wouldnot up load in landscape!!)

I received a set of stamps from the new 2009-2010 Ideas Book And Catalogue this week and just couldn't wait to use them. I have used the dual heart stamp with the Happy Future sentiment but this doesn't mean it has to be used for a wedding/love theme. It could very easily be used for a girl theme etc.


The set is called Greatings Eight Stamp set and contains pretty much what the title suggests. There is a stamp for every occasion from Birthdays to Fathers Day, which makes it a great value set and will be priced at only $49.95.


I have also had a sneak peek at 8 other new items and have also got all the new IN COLOUR range of card stock and papers. I am as happy as a pig in mud right now. If you want to join me for a rumble in the mud then contact me today to book a workshop. Don't wait too long though. April is filling up fast as there is school holidays in this month and not to mention EASTER.


Also, don't forget to get your orders in now for the retiring list as by 31st of March they will all be gone and I certainly would hate for you to regret missing out on them.




Can't wait to hear from you. Cheers Alison.

Kristina Werner Challenge #44

Hello again all,

I know, I know. I have been a super slack blogger. Man I would have thought that I would have been more organised now that the kids are back in school but I think I am busier than ever. Anyway, I have found time to put a card together for Kristina's challenge but I must confess. I used this colour challenge to make my very good friend, Sophia's, birthday card for tomorrow - HAPPY 40TH SOPHIA.

Here are the colours;


And here is my effort.



The photo may not be a very good one but I must admit the colours look great together. Thanks again Kristina for yet another great set of colurs.

Cheers for now.

Hi all,

So sorry that I haven't blogged for a while. I have been a bit busy with school stuff and also making a plague for a friend of my mum's It turned out quite nice so I will post a photo of it a little later.

But right now I have the current Kristina Werner challenge to show you. Here are the colours she gave us this week. As you can see she has used Kiwi Kiss which we don't have here in Oz so I have substituted with Old Olive.

Kristina Werner Challenge #41

Hello all,

Here is my contribution to Kristina's current challenge.



I actually made this card a while ago now but felt it applied to this challenge perfectly.



I actually love the combination of blacks, reds and whites together but I am not always brave enough to use them.
Anyway, enjoy and keep being crafty

My First KWerner Challenge

I decided today to do my very first online colour challenge from Kritina Werner Challenges. I have admired other bloggers work when doing challenges for quite some time now so I thought I was up for the challenge today too. This is the image and colours that she gives us a challenge to go and get creative.



This particular lady, http://www.kwernerdesign.com/about/, who sets this challenge is such a talented crafter. I signed up for her newsletter today and just can't wait for it to arrive.
Anyway, here is my attempt at her current challenge.

Tell me what you think!
