BACK TO SCHOOL

I am sorry that I am not posting any school related projects … this is, sadly, about me being BACK AT WORK!

For those of us in the southern hemisphere, we are about to begin our new school year … and if you’re a teacher, like me, you know what we’re preparing for.

So … it is with great sadness, that I mention that I might not be posting too many things over the next week or so!

Please drop by just in case I have decided to ditch my ‘homework’ and be creative … I hope to surprise myself and create some of the projects that I have been planning.

SHELTERING MANGO TREE

I have been in awe of all the wonderful cards and projects being created using the Sheltering Tree stamp set, from the Occasions Catalogue.

For a while I wasn’t sure how I wanted to play with it.

As I looked at all the Autumn/Fall inspired ideas, I was drawn to the palette of orange … Pumpkin Pie, Tangerine Tango, Tangelo Twist and sort of, Calypso Coral.

Then I had my ‘aha’ moment …. mangoes.

For those of us lucky enough to live in Queensland, we know that mangoes are out and about … and if you like them, you have had mango juices running down your chin and hands. (If you live in the Northern Hemisphere – you are not yet ready for cold, refreshing summer fruits!).

If you’re unlucky enough, they are falling off a neighbour’s tree and getting very, very ripe in this hot and steamy weather.

So … here is my take on Sheltering Tree …

P.S. This card was photographed on some Pumpkin Pie cardstock … it’s really not that ‘orange’.

THANK YOU FOR FOLLOWING …

It’s probably very obvious that I am relatively new to all this online stuff.

I have had a Facebook account for a little while … so that I can be involved in some Stampin’ Up groups and follow friends with more skills than myself.

This whole website thing is very new but incredibly exciting.

I’ve been looking at My Stats to see where different people have been looking at my blog from – and it’s amazing – Australia, UK, USA, Canada, Brazil, New Zealand, Germany, France, Portugal, Mexico, Indonesia, Sweden, Spain, Kenya and Italy (my favourite country outside Australia)!

This is almost as good as travelling!!

And, I love to travel and have been very fortunate to experience many of these countries.

Welcome to everyone who pops by … I hope you enjoy what you see.

Please contact me … I would love to hear about where you are and what you enjoy doing craft-wise ….

And to the very brave followers of my blog … thanks for jumping on board … I would love to know more about you, so if you are keen – contact me … we could become friends …
