Classic Combo

Red, white and blue are such classic colours and always look so great together. Today's card features Cherry Cobbler, Whisper White and Night of Navy. I mentioned at a recent class that when you don't know what colour to put with another, you can't go wrong by choosing something from the same colour collection - and I was amazed at how many of my ladies hadn't thought of that, so I have obviously been a bit remiss in making that point!

My friend and team mate Sue let me stamp some images from Friends Never Fade at our last play day, so I had this one to make up into a card. The papers are from the Regals Collection and to add a bit of interest and fill in that visual space, I have embossed the corner using the Elegant Bouquet embossing folder. It's very subtle and a perfect fit!

I think the result is simple and elegant, but you know how much I adore Cherry Cobbler, so I might be just a little biased! LOL! Hope you like it too.

Thanks for stopping by.

Cards For Our Troops

It's only 4 sleeps now until my very special event making Christmas cards for Aussie troops serving overseas in combat zones to send home to their families and loved ones. All stations are GO! (as Thunderbirds would say!) and I've a few things still to organise, so will be MIA for a few days here on the blog.

These are the card designs for everyone to make; I kept them as simple and straightforward as I could without being too plain (IYKWIM):

We have some fantastic raffle prizes and lucky door prizes to give away, thanks to the generosity of Stampin' Up!, my upline Marelle Taylor and fellow demos Juliette Chapman, Nikki Stalker and Robyn Irving. So I am looking forward to a fun day for a wonderful cause and I'll be back next week.

Have a good one!

Cheers
