Hello again!
Gav has just organised a new plan for our internet downloads … and although we are still restricted each month … we do have a little more to play with! So … the new Gigs kicked in this month (Feb) and we also had a bonus 2G download just for the first month! So … I have been doing something that we are NEVER allowed … and I have taken the opportunity to view some video tutorials! I found some beauties … some from Leonie S’ team forum … but some I have gone searching for myself. I do have a couple more bookmarked for some new punches that will be coming from SU! – hopefully in the new IB&C in September … so I won’t add those links until they are relevant to us! You will see all the links in my left side bar – including one for the Big Shot that is coming in April & one for our Circle Cutter! I hope you find them useful! I will add more as I find them … but won’t be quite as free to view them once February is over!
So … time for a card …
Another Kaledeidoscope card! And … yes … I have almost completely used up my whole pack of papers (between several cards & my calendar.) BUT … I couldn’t resist buying another pack!!! 
I won’t be using it any time soon … but I did want to have some more because there are very few Bold Brights DSP in the SU! list … and sometimes you just want that bright funky look! It will be nice to reach for it when I am in the mood! Don’t you love these flowers that I have cut from the DSP??? And how well do they team with the gorgeous “For Everything” stamp image! Jus’ Gorjuss!!!
My two girls had a fun night each last night … Skye went off to the T/20 cricket match in Sydney with a friend from school and her friend’s Dad & brother. Now … this is not normally something I would allow on a school night … as she arrived home at 12.15am … BUT … she had missed out on going to the cricket with everyone else this year (due to her musical) so I relented and let her go! She had an absolute ball … and it was a great night … and … OF COURSE … the Aussies won – meaning an undefeated summer of cricket. 
Sheree is still in Sydney with her best friend Tabitha. They stayed overnight in a hotel after going to see “Wicked” the musical … a treat for Tab’s birthday! I haven’t yet heard from her this morning … but Skye & I are sooooooo jealous of her outing!!! I’m sure she also had a FABULOUS time!
And … me???? I went to the “Meet the Teacher” night at school!!!!!!!!! 
Say no more!!!
Anyway … I feel some stamping coming on! Promised Leonie that I would do her forum challenge … and I am trying to do some “cupcake” cards for our “Crazy for Cupcakes” stall at the School Country Fair … better get cracking! Have a nice day!

Andrea adds: If only I had the $$$ to see Wicked, Debbie! I know it would be fantastic. Sheree really enjoyed it. Thanks for stopping by! xxx
Hi Andrea, What a wonderful card. You are very correct in regard to the bright colours in the dsp.
Andrea adds: Hello Kathryn … so lovely to have you stop by! I am off to visit your blog! Thanks for taking the time to say hi! xxx
hey there. Yet another fun, bright and funky (and v v PINK) card fm the creative house of Lowcock!!!! I really like this…I think it’s the orange in the larger flowers that take the intensity of the pink down a peg or 2…
. The cricket was mega….now I have to find another vice 
. BTW….I have blogged every 2 days for the past week…is that not frequent enuf?? Heck y’day it was 2 posts in 1 day….I did a challenge…in PINK!!!! Have fun and I’ll catch you soon. ooxx

Sweet card! You know me how I enjoy bright cheery colors on my cards… and the flowers are so pretty! Spring is coming our way and this puts me even more in the mood for it…. LOL!

Andrea adds: Will pop by your blog again for some more inspiration! Always enjoy visiting! Thanks for all your encouragement and for taking the time to comment. I really appreciate your kind words! xxx
Wow – you keep making me fall in love with this DSP. Are you sure one spare packet is enough? LOL
Andrea adds: Definitely not enough … but I am trying to be good!
Hi Andrea, I saw Wicked way back in November 2008 in Melbourne (as I was away at a work Conference and had a free Friday evening). It was fantastic. As I am a demo now, will I see you at the Stampin’ Up conference?
Andrea adds: Woo hoo! I am thrilled to hear you are a demo now! And … yes! I will be at the SU! conference! Have my room booked at the Ibis. Hope we get to catch up! xxx
what a bright funky look! Absolutely adorable!!

Andrea adds: Using a bright funky paper is a great place to start! Can’t go wrong! xxx
