Finished

I have finished Darian's school books.

I have used 'Sentimental Journey" Stamp Set, the colours I used were Cherry Cobbler, Alway Artichoke, Night of Navy and Soft Suede.

Happy Birthday Darian

Today is Darian's 15th Birthday.

Here is his card.

 I cased this from Ilina Crouse, click here to see her card.

 I have changed some of the stamps.

I have used 'Sentimental Journeys' Stamp Set, this is a fantastic set.

Great for men's cards travel layouts to name a couple.

 I used 'Word Play' Stamp Set for the sentiment.

Inside the card I used Level 1 Stamp Set 'Afterthoughts'.

The DSP is from Summer Mini Catalogue 'Travel Journal'.

 This is another card, from the same sheet of DSP but along a bit.

Better Late Than Never

 On the 24th November was our First Kiwi Stampers Team Meeting.

As per normal we did swaps, we needed to make 17 swaps.

I finished mine this Friday, ( yes ladies I put them in the post on yesterday) hopefully you will recieve them on Monday or Tuesday.

I had them almost finished but my Sentiment Journey Stamp Set (Summer Mini) hadn't arrived when I left for Christchurch were the meeting was. Paul phoned to say it had arrived that afternoon, I had left in the morning but even if I had waited I would have had time to complete them.

So now the long wait is over, I hope the ladies think the wait was worth it.

This is my swap.

I cased this from Michelle Zindorf go check out her blog it is a must visit blog, she does the most beautiful brayer work and she has over 300 tutorials.
When I first saw this on Michelle's blog, I loved the plane with the flourish and I thought of Air New Zealand and the Koru on the tail of there planes.

I have made a complete card as we have friends packing up and moving over the ditch to Aussie and I thought it would be a great card to give to them as they continue on there lifes journey.

This is the inside of the card, the stamp I have used is from 'Word Play' Stamp Set.

It is a fabulous Set, I fell in love with in the 2010-2011 Idea Book and Catalogue.

I thought both stamp sets would be good sets for card making and scrapbooking.

So what do you think are these great sets?
