COMPETITION TIME!

Hi there Stampers, Crafters and Blog Followers,

Here's a little competition for you... there are a few prizes on offer to increase your chances of winning and sharing the Christmas spirit with you all!

It's an easy competition. All you have to do is put together a wish list of at least 5 items or cards that you'd like for Christmas! The longer the list, the more options you give your friends and family. You also get an extra entry if you are a Pawmark Facebook fan.

I do have a few wish lists already, however you are still more than welcome to enter this competition. It is drawn at random by Rafflecopter and finishes on November 30th.

As I'm only new to Rafflecopter, I couldn't figure out the refer a friend... so if you refer a friend to Facebook and/or my blog competition please get them to say that you referred them and I will have a $5 voucher available for refer a friend. Each friend you refer will be an entry, one entry for Facebook and another for the Christmas Wishlist, BUT please make sure they let me know that you referred them!

Here's the link again to a Rafflecopter giveaway!

All the best.

Keep leaving your mark,
Brooke

12 Weeks of Christmas - Week 8: A Merry Little Christmas Chalk

Hi there Stampers, Crafters and Blog Followers,

Here's one that I saw on Pinterest and I CASED it... slightly, ever so slightly changed. So love the stamp set. A great little cheaper one. I should have taken a picture of my first effort - ummm maybe not. I forgot to use my embossing buddy and well... that's one way to make you aware that Embossing Buddy is your buddy and makes your work look a whole heap better. I was one of those people that thought that I didn't need all of those accessories, but Stampin Up are proving to me that most of their products are actually helpful and save so much disappointment too! I not only used the Embossing Buddy but I also used the Stamp-a-ma-jig to make sure it was straight... love it too... There's so much to like about this card - the chalkboard theme is really a fashion at the moment. So simple. The card is also so quick to make. Oh and it jingles too!

12 weeks of Christmas - Week 7 - Merry Little Christmas

Hi Stampers, Crafters and Blog Followers,

Christmas is getting closer and closer... how are your handmade cards coming along? They're not? Well I have an idea to help you. Why not join me at my place for an afternoon of cards! We can make 4 Santa suit cards (week 6 - 12 Weeks of Christmas) and 4 of these Merry Little Christmas cards... $20! Now that's pretty cheap! 

These cards use the Merry Little Christmas stamp set and the Chalk Talk Framelits. The papers are the Season of Style Designer Series Paper Pack - 4 designs. And finishing touches - Burlap Ribbon and Baker's Twine.

A quick and easy card to stamp a stack. Looking forward to you joining us for a fun afternoon. For more details please just email me: brooke@impulse.net.au or check out my Facebook Page.

12 Weeks of Chirstmas: Week 6 - Santa Suit Card

Hi Stampers, Crafters and Blog Followers,

Late again... sorry! I've been working hard. I did my first market on Friday night. It was so much fun and was a fab way to get my name out there. A huge thanks to my friends and family for your support and encouragement, I really needed it and couldn't have done it without you all. Thanks.

Here's another really simple card, with no stamping! This one is part of my stamp a stack - perhaps I should rename it to Stick-a-stack of Christmas Cards. My plan is that you can make 4 of these and 2 of next weeks card in one night for $15. If you can't make it on the night but would really like to make the cards, I am more than happy to make the kits and send them or drop them off to your place with some instructions. Now that we're into November and all the shops have their trees up and our letterboxes are being filled with ideas for Christmas, it's a good time to get some extra special Christmas Cards together for a those special people in your life and I'm more than happy to help you do this. 

The annoying part of when you take a photo of your work is that once you see something wrong with it, that's all you can see! I'll be off to fix those crocked black "buttons"!

Keep leaving your mark,
Brooke

12 Weeks of Christmas: Week 5 - Santa Punch Art Card


Hi there Stampers, Crafters and Blog Followers,

Here's a little something from the Bendigo Show... one of my first place cards! Yep, I won the Christmas card section again with this card. That's why I simply had to share it with you. A punch art Santa that tucks under his mustache. It's actually a very simple card (once you work out the score/fold lines!) and it has plenty of room to write your message...  I love the addition on a touch of the glimmer paper, it's so sparkly! 


I have used a couple of embossing folders from my Big Shot and the scallop circle thinlit die. I will be making a few of these later on in the month, so if you're keen to join me, please let me know, it's fun making cards with other people too!

Brooke
