Hi bloggies!
Wow! I have some great gift / gift packaging ideas since joining in the fun at INK4U. And … I am enjoying the lovely comments and feedback on the site. It is a lovely interractive group of gals! Here is a sweet gift box with matching gift card … designed by Holly.
The idea with INK4U is to get the project tutorials (full colour PDF instructions) … and make them your own. But … I have got to say … while I did change the colour combination & stamp images … the design is EXACTLY as the original. I just felt that Holly’s was perfect … and I wanted to CASE it completely. Isn’t it just the sweetest!
I love that little gift card! Sooooo adorable!
Now … it is not too late to access these gorgeous tutorials. Even though the INK4U! session is drawing to a close … the site will be open for some time. You can still register and have access to all the tutorials PLUS great ideas & samples for each via the photo gallery. So … click on the pic below to register. You still have time to play with these lovely projects before the new session starts! A new session of INKspirations 4U! will be starting again in March.
Today is the 2nd last day of school holidays … and tomorrow we are off to Sydney to see Shane off on his Borneo Adventure! Did I tell you he is off to Borneo with a couple of mates … to work in an orphanage for about 3 weeks??? The boys will be labouring – installing tanks, building fences etc and they are also going to have the opportunity to do some Bible classes with the kids. It is going to be stinkin’ hot and humid … but Shane doesn’t seem to be worried about that!
Of course … his mum is a little apprehensive about the trip … particularly after his recent “accident“. But … I have to learn to trust that God is watching over him.
I’m sure there will be some amazing & funny stories to tell on his return. He arrives home the weekend before he starts uni again! I will miss him HEAPS! It is always nice to have him around the house. (Well … most of the time … anyway!!!
) Take care … I am off to do some pressie shopping! We have a 21st party tonight. C U all soon! Hugs xxaxx





Seeing this a 2nd time reminds me of how FAB it was 1st time around!!! the card is very cute and the co-ordinating box…i am set for so many gifts it ain’t funny!! The colour combo is so bright and cheery (cherry….LOL!!) Brilliant job Andrea (as always) ooxx
You are the bright cheery one! Hugs xxaxx
Andrea adds: You are a hoot! Laughing at your own jokes!!!
This is just so, so cute Andrea. I love the colours you have used, love the design and love those gorgeous hearts. So glad you are having so much fun with the Inkspirations 4 U team.
Will be thinking of Shane and of you while he is away for the three weeks. I love hearing stories like this, of young people with a heart for God going out and doing His work…..it’s wonderful and I know God will be watching over them while they are away. He will be with you too, dear friend and you know you can always call me if you need to.
Hope you have a wonderful Sunday.
Love and hugs

Praying for Shane today as he is off to serve God in Borneo and for his family who will miss him so much!

Andrea adds: More prayers for Shane! This does calm my fears … to know that so many are praying for him! Thanks Gabbi! Sandy coped fine with starting high school … his mum … well … that’s another story!

Andrea adds: I am feeling so slack … no motivation today … has meant no blurfing … and no blurfing meant I didn’t leave any comments for my friends. But … what has kept me going is the lovely encouragement and support of my friends … so I will be back to return the favour asap.
Love it! – this was one of many fab tutorials! My version has already been given away! And loved by the recipient!
Cheers
Sonia
Andrea adds: I love that the tutorials are soooo easy to make. They sometimes look a lot more complicated than what they really are. Hugs xxaxx
