Ahhhhhh... back to the challenges.

This month's challenge over at Inkurable Stampers is "Shabby Chic Christmas". I got to admit I had to google this one! Of course I know what shabby chic is but all I could conjure up in my mind was pink and green. So thats what I did.

My ATC was mounted on pink card stock. The background was from Webster Pages with sponging around the edges. I stamped the christmas tree (from Stampin Up's Lovely as a Tree) in pink pirouette tipped in wild wasabi and added a little sparkle. Not sure where the word JOY came from. Added a little silver charm and some velvet ric rac and a distressed pink star on top. All up I was pleased with the results. Anyone want to do a swap????

I'm a little rusty...What do you think??

It's been a while. The creative juices are seeping drip by drip into my poor parched soul! I love Christmas!!! Squeal!! What better time to get back into it with some gift tags. You have to forgive the photography.

I'm sorry!

Where we stayed

I'm so sorry I've been neglectful. Life is just getting in the way. In a good way of course. Even just thinking about what has been happening to me in the last few months is scary. Where to start......Firstly I've moved house, next comes my holiday to Vietnam and to throw into the chaos I'm still going to TAFE and now I have to do some work experience in several restaurants to gain some knowledge from working in the industry. How crazy does that sound! I'd like to share with you, just a few, some photo's from my fantastic holiday with 3 of my girlfriends to Vietnam. It was the best time ever! From the time we got picked up in the Limo (Julie's surprise) to the end. We stayed in a gorgeous place called Hoi An, did a cooking school, ate fantastic food, saw beautiful art and shopped! All in one week.
