There are 24 ladies in our blog hop today and I am stop 19, dont worry if you havent been to everyone before me yet, if you follow the links at the end of each page you will eventually see everyone's works of art. Dont forget to leave a comment to let them know you have stopped by.

Our new seasonal catalogue is all about holiday's; Christmas, Easter, Halloween and more. Today I am using a set called Googly Ghouls. Although alot of Australia don't celebrate halloween, these can be used for much more, look how cutes these little guys are. I have also used the "googlies" which are those little googley eyes, you can get them on their own or save 15% if you buy the Ghoulish Googlies Bundle.

Our holiday catalogue now goes for 5 months so if you would like one or want to order something, doesnt matter if you live in the smallest place in the outback, as long as you are in Australia please dont hesitate to contact me, delivery is the same no matter where you live.

Anyway off you hop to your next destination which is the talented Jane Norrish. I hope you have a nice cuppa and enjoy our blog hop.

The set I am using today is a hostess exclusive set called "A Cherry on Top " So many things you can do with this set, today I have made a sharker card as a little fun. This is the first time I have used this and I can tell you it will not be the last!!!

This is the complete set:

These are fun to make and the look on face of the person receiving it just makes my day. I can show you how to make these at a workshop with many different types of sets.

So now is time for you to go grab a coffee (if you havent got one already) and hop over to another member or our ESAD blog hop and that is Narelle Hoggard's little home on the web.

I hope you love this blog hop as much as I know I will.

Sunny Challenges & Creations

Hi all


As some of you know I am at home right now looking after a torn tendon in my shoulder, so I need some things to do, there is only so much T.V you can watch and books you can read, so I am teaching myself to do a little left handed stamping. Some are not bad, some not so good haha, but today's one I dont mind and have decided to enter it into a challenge over at Sunny Challenges & Creations .

The layout is below and had to be black and white.

So my take on the black and white theme is below. Of course how can you do black and white without bling, well I cant it screams bling me!!!

The bottom is black embossing a new stamp set called Flowering Flourishes, a bit of black card stock, a touch of ribbon and the bling and I was done, not bad for a right hand person doing it left handed.  Maybe I could make double the amount of cards when I am back to being two handed HAHA.

The new Catalogues is here!!!

Well Hi there everyone!!!

Looks what happens while I have been away for the week end, the two new amazing Catalogues came out yesterday.

This did not stop me taking my ipad with me and an already sorted out order. If you want to get your hands on your very own copies, email me at ratherbstamping@yahoo.com.au or call me from anywhere in Australia on (03)87114401.

You can also click on the links to the side to look at all the wonderful new products. You can also order from anywhere in Australia too with my contact details above. I will pop a few new cards up over the next two days using stampsets from the new catalogues. We have even been shown how to decorate food using our products!! Who would have thought you could have Stampin Up decorated cupcakes, biscuits, cakes and more. If you would like to learn how to do this, have a few friends around and we can make a day of it, well a few hours anyway, then you can eat what you make !!
