Where have I been?

Hi!! I've had queries as to where I've gone! LOL Sorry I haven't had a chance to update recently! We've been up in Nth Qld, where I must say it is much warmer! It was lovely to spend some time in shorts and T shirts! LOL So until I get a chance to stamp again on Saturday night (got the M&M's ready LOL) here's some pics of the kids!....Townsville has a GORGEOUS strand that we've been visiting since my eldest daughter was about 2! The water park area has a big bucket on the top which fills with water then tips! The kids LOVE it!



Ryan's front tooth FINALLY fell out while we were away!

And Jasmine turned 5! One of her presents was a set of Roller blades which means she can now keep up with her older brother and sister!

Can anyone tell me how to get 4 kids to smile at the camera all at the same time?

Boatloads of Love Cards

I thought I'd share my cards that are published in the new Australian Cardmaking, Stamping & Papercraft magazine! I've only sent in two sets of cards to them and have had both sets published!...And on the front page! LOL I LOVE the Boatloads of Love set! It's fun and versatile! If you'd like to make your own Boatloads of Love cards, I've also got a special for this set until August 28th, you can see it HERE
Please excuse the dark pics...I took them last night and now my hubby has stolen the mag to take it to work! LOL

Another Christmas card.

I'm finally back with a card to share.. The card was inspired from a swap I got from Alice at convention and I've turned it into a Christmas card! The stamp set is called Baroque Motifs, and although it isn't acutally a Christmas stamp set, it's perfect for any occasion!!!

The colours are Mellow Moss, Always Artichoke & Ruby Red! The Mellow Moss Taffeta ribbon is sooooo lovely! I love how Stampin' Up! co ordinates all the accessories perfecty!

Oh and the blog candy!!! The winner is PAULA!!! Please email me at info@stampwithkim.com.au with your postal address and I'll pop it in the mail for you!

Well I have been a bad blogger! LOL + Blog Candy!

The school holidays have flowen by, and I must say I had a lovely time with the kids home, lots of sleep ins too! Didn't get much crafting done, but I hopefully will have a card or two to share in the next couple of days after I do a workshop at Karen's tomorrow!

Well there's lots going on too, and you'll see some exciting things to come over the next couple of months. I won't give anything away just yet! LOL But for now I've got Blog Candy! Oh firstly I need to say a BIG thank you to Chrissie who has graced me with a blog award and she had some lovely comments too!

Christmas is coming!

LOL Well sort of. It's only half way through the year, but I thought I'd pull out a Christmas set I didn't really use last year and have a play. I've used some of this year's Stampin' Up! In Colours - Purely Pomegranate, Blue Bayou, Groovy Guava & Soft Sky! Gorgeous colours! I also made another card with the same set but that is for my team Christmas in July swap, so I won't post that just yet.

The Crazy for Christmas set is a great Christmas set! It has this row of baubles and the wording stamp in this card, plus a row of Christmas trees and a row of presents, which you can use for birthdays as well as Christmas! Very versatile.



And for a Blog special, if you order Crazy for Christmas ($39.95) and a pack of assorted A4 cardstock in your choice of colour family (36 sheets for $14.50) You can have them shipped to you for FREE anywhere in Australia! Contact me for more information.

Well I've finally made a card. Hopefully the stampin' drought is over LOL. I was able to pull out the set Priceless today and here's the card!

Colours are Ballet Blue, Regal Rose and So Saffron

Thought I'd also use this for this month's theme challenge for
Inkurable Stamps July Theme Challenge
