Sometimes, Mistakes turn out OK!!

Here I am, back from Qld after spending a wonderful week with my sister Gwen.  Gwen spent hours with me, teaching me different techniques and ever so gently trying to guide me in the right direction!! 

So now left to my own devices, I decided to make a card that will knock your  socks of so to speak.  I started with a sketch, some designer paper, ink pads and stamps.  This card was going to really have the WOW factor. 

Now keep in mind that I am very new to this, so my supplies are extremely limited.  Every morsel of designer paper and card stock has to be used.... I can not afford to waste a thing!! 

So sketch in hand,  I decide on a nice 6x4 inch card, .... that is where my well laid plans finished.  I for whatever reason cut my card the wrong way, but knowing I couldn't waste anything, I continued on and this is the result.... a bit strange, but I think it turned out ok.  What do you think??

A Few of my Recent Creations

This is an arrangement of the first cards that I have made since becoming a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator. Over the next few days I will write a little on each one and list the items that were used to create them. I hope you will come back and have a look. Cheers for now, Maggie.

My Very First Post

I have always considered myself to be pretty cluey when it came to computers and the internet... but at the same time, I know when it's time to leave it to the experts.... I am not one of those people to fiddle and try to fine tune things if I don't know 100% what I am doing.   Saying that.... I was just about to leave this blogging thing to other people!!  For the life of me, I couldn't figure it out... it was quickly heading towards the too hard basket. 
This morning, it is quiet, so I turned the computer on, had a bit of a surf... checked out some really nice stamping sites and wondered why on earth can't I set up a blog.   So back to old Mr Google I go, typed in Blogger.... went to the first site... and BINGO... here I am!!  I can't believe it! 
Oh I still have a long way to go.... I have to figure out how to get pictures up, how to add buttons and all sorts of stuff.... but at least I am here!!  So hopefully,  the next time you visit... I will up and running at full capacity.... so until then, I will bid thee farewell!!
