The colours used were choc chip, sage shadow, really rust and very vanilla.

July - Bloomin' with Beauty
Bloomin' with Beauty; Cardstock colours - Almost Amethyst, Lavender Lace and Elegant Eggplant.
The tutorial for the gable box can be found here.
I altered the measurements on the tutorial slightly to suit our English A4 paper, they are as follows:
Along 11" side: measurements same as tutorial
Along 8 1/4" side: score at 2" and 5 1/2"
This is a piccie of a hydrangea from my garden. The colours were so beautiful when it was in full bloom and it was the main reason that I reached for this stamp set in July.
Here is some more Bloomin' inspiration!
See you at August's meeting...
MAY - flowers everywhere!
We used Petal Pizazz and some fun colours from the bold brights family. The sentiment from Best Yet (hostess set) has been stamped in a frame from Frames with a Flourish.
Here is the template for the box.
APRIL - A challenge, Mens cards.
This card uses Cheers To You and some yummy Summer Picnic designer paper.
This card uses the tree from Forest Friends and the Fathers Day sentiment from Occasional Greetings. The background is Sanded.
More Cheers To You inspiration from my blog travels
I look forward to seeing you all on Monday or Tuesday. As usual please remember to bring the basics...glue and scissors and any other basic tools that you like to use.
I will set the challenge at the June meeting, ready for you to complete for July's meeting.
