Anyhow...back to today's post. You may have noticed that I have been a part of Inkspirations4U. I was very fortunate to win a pass through Sonia Garbutt....and I believe she has another promotion running for the next round starting soon. So, if you are interested in challenging yourself and having a heap of fun and gaining access to FAB tutorials...pop over and give it a go.
Some weeks back, I had the good fortune to meet the incredibly talented Sonia face to face with her 2 beautiful gals. I wanted to make her something special to thank her for giving me the opportunity to experience some wonderful things...as well as challenge myself further with pink!!! This is what I made for Sonia.....
This notebook is A7 size, but I still managed to fit quite a bit on it. The DP is a dictionary one I used for my Father's day cards here. To bring all the colours together I used my Tim Holtz distress inks in Aged Mahogany, Frayed Burlap and Vintage Photo. I also used the Mahogany on the petals of the red flower do dull down its intensity as it started out Christmas Red. The lace is courtesy of a vintage workshop I did at Alice in Paperland's some time back. tthere was a MASSIVE tub of lace that a lady had donated and we could take what we wished and donate as many gold coins that we felt represented what we had taken. Needless to say I could have gone MAD, but did manage to get some intricate laces for a very reasonable price.
Across the white flower I stamped a small script stamp from Kaszazz in Vintage Photo. To finish it off I popped in a pewter brad. The letters are in SU Cherry Cobbler. The back is very simple....
Sonia also surprised me with something amazing that I will show you in a later post.
Thanks for cruising on by and I hope that next time....it is somewhat cooler. Take care all.

How lovely is this note book! Love how you stamped across the little white flower, I've not thought to do that.
I bet Sonia loves her personalised gift.
I do so love my personalised gift! It's in my handbag and carried with me at all times.... I am having trouble writing in it though! It's just too beautiful!
It was an absolute pleasure to meet you and your kids too! I know that my girls enjoyed the experience!
I hope it's cooler for you today! I do feel for you, I ended up coming home from Sydney a couple of days earlier, as my sister doesn't have air con, and it was slightly unbearable!
Congrats on winning another pass to Inkspirations 4U! I hope you are feeling a bit more mobile, by the time it starts up again! Sounds like you and Andrea have "crafters cramp"
Cheers
Sonia
