Have you seen that there is a brand new challenge blog?  I love a good challenge, they get you thinking about layouts and concepts you might never have thought of otherwise!  This particular blog, TGIF is particularly special because of the amazingly talented design team they've brought together.  

The very first challenge is a colour challenge.  For this design I've used a panel of pool party cardstock, sponging it in tones of pool party and a little island indigo for interest.  This forms the perfect background for this super cute fox from the Life's Adventure stamp set.  I masked the image, then spritzed with a shimmer spray and added some Gorgeous Grunge spots with white craft ink. 


I added some sequins and a few clouds inspired by the Cupcake Builder punch.   

http://jenniferfrost.blogspot.com/I'm so glad that I got a chance to play with this stamp set again - it's on the retiring list and will be gone very soon.  I  hope you've enjoyed this project.  Head over and take a peek at the TGIF Challenge blog, your sure to be inspired!  

As it happens, I have been chosen to be the very first guest star at the challenge next week. I'm so excited to be invited to 'play' with this super talented group!!

On Saturday the 18th of February Loddon Mallee Kids (LMK) held their first fundraising ball.  I had the pleasure of creating the stationary for the event including tickets, table numbers, table place cards, menus and programs.

The committee wanted to create a very classy, elegant affair and chose the classic combination of black and silver for the theme for the ball. They wanted the tickets to really 'shine' so I gave the LMK logo a glittery silver make-over for the event and printed these on a thick shimmery white card stock which showed to advantage under lights.
The following photo is a glimpse of what the tables looked like all set up on the night. I created each table number in matching black with numbers die-cut in a silver glimmer cardstock.

The menus and table place cards incorporated matching fonts and glitter strips to the tickets with the LMK logo sitting quietly in the background.
The gorgeous centrepieces were from the Eternal Vase and Dean's Screenprinting created the silver and black drink holders for us.

It was a real treat to be involved in this event!  I hope to have the total raised from the evening to share with you soon.

With Christmas now officially behind us for another year it is time to put the Christmas stamps away for a little while. The following are a few last minute Christmas projects that I completed for this holiday session.

These gift tags were custom made to order.  The base is Baja Breeze Blue with bordering in Basic Grey and the 'Merry Christmas' sentiment embossed in silver.  I've dotted the decorative antlers of the matching Baja Breeze stamped Dasher with touches of silver glitter. The scalloped edge panel beneath the imagery was sprayed with shimmer spray to add a little extra glimmer.

I hosted the family Christmas meal this year for the first time. Instead of bonbons I prepared these little gift boxes filled with yummy Cadbury fun sized chocolates for all my guests.

I love adding a splash of shimmer to projects, such as the lovely flower featured in this month's Class by Correspondence. 



Glimmer sprays, such as the Smooch Spritz now available through Stampin' Up! are a great way to do this. But for those of us that like to do-it-ourselves, this little tutorial will have you creating your own affordable shimmer in no time!
