Yay! I've finally made it to my first post. My girlfriend Tracey in Busselton has encouraged me to start my blog so that we can share photo's of our children and our stamping and scrapbooking creations. We don't often get to catch up, so this will be handy. Well that's the idea anyway. My aim is to add something at least once a week. If I get the chance to do more, then that will be great.

My mum and I went for a drive down to Busselton last week with the kids to see Tracey and her mum at the shop. We spent 5 hours browsing at paper, embellishments, embossing machines, scrapbook pages and everything else that you could imagine. Not to mention all the talking that went on. We also purchased quite a bit as well. Spending the day in the shop filled me with so much inspiration, it was so exciting. But as luck would have it, I have been unable to transfer any of my ideas onto paper as I have spent most of my time cleaning up my stamping room. Oh well.

I do have something I want to share though. -My neighbour came across the other day and showed me a poem that she wanted decorated for her good friend to go with a gift that matched. This is what I came up with. I wrote the poem and stamped on whisper white card. The backing is bravo burgundy. The stamp set is "Wild Roses". I stamped the bud in Bravo burgundy and the leaf in mellow moss. The buds have also got a little sparkle. A bit hard to see in the photo. I added a little bit of dazzling diamonds. Then to finish off I tied some organdy ribbon with a tag. There we go. Luckily my neighbour loved it, and asked me to do some more.
