Crafting With Friends

The best thing about cardmaking and papercraft in general is getting together with friends to share ideas and create.  For the first two days of this week that's how I spent some of my day.

Fiona joined me on Monday and we managed over four hours to create 9 Christmas cards and get Fiona's 2 Petal Party 6x6 Albums put together and the decoration started on those.  With a change of simply scrappin' kit we managed to change the look of my Christmas 6x6 album completely.

Cathryn joined me yesterday morning and before we'd even started creating she grabbed this card out of her bag to show me.

What a great use of the single 'Birthday Wish' stamp from the Spring Mini Catalogue.  Make sure to get your order in before 30 November if you want one of these.

While browsing through the new Summer Mini Catalogue we found a card to use Cathryn's 'Heart to Heart' punch, one that I don't have yet.  Here are our cards: -

Using the same supplies and the same inspiration we still managed to each create a slightly different card.

Then thinking of the need to make even more Christmas cards we adapted the design to create this one using the large and small star punches.

If you would like to see the Stampin' Up!® card that inspired ours Email me to be sent a copy of Summer Mini Catalogue.

By the time you read this post I will have been to the dentist to get a tooth crowned and will be on my way or have been to the boys' school to do library duty and after school I'll be off to the pool for their swimming lessons.  I'd much rather have been at home crafting with Fiona and Cathryn.
