Curtain Call #45- All good things must come to an end!!

Welcome back for another Curtain Call Colour Challenge, this week act 45 brings along a fabulous colour palette!! Again,  unfortunately here is Australia we don't have all the colours yet, this week I have subsituted Elegant Eggplant and Wild Wasabi.

This week is the changing of the guards, so to speak, at Curtain Call!  The current Design Crew's final week, moving out for a new dynamic Design Crew and guest designer next week, including some very familiar names to wow you with their creativity moving forward!

I must say that the last 6 months have been very exciting for me (occasionally challenging!) , to be a part of something totally wonderful.  I have thoroughly enjoyed my time in the Design Crew, to work with and be inspired by some very talented ladies.  Without this opportunity I would not have met you all, not to mention finding Miss Chupa in my own backyard, it really goes to show how small the world is.  I will still be popping into see what you are all up to, I wish you well for the future, may your worlds grow bigger too!!

Stacey, The Design Crew, the guest Designers and all of you who have contributed to Curtain Call each week, I sincerely THANK YOU. 

Congratulations to the new Design Crew, a fabulous and very inspiring group, I can't wait to see them in action on the Stage!

anyhoo, back to the task at hand- Act #45

Clean and Simple 103

I have finally managed to fit in some Christmas cards using the Clean and Simple 103 layout.  I was given a day off from work on Monday (I think it was granted due to hard labour!!) and decided to spend some time with my friend Ange and our crafty stuff!  With Robyn's Christmas Card Challenge in mind we set to work quite quickly to maximise our time!  I think I ended up making about 9 cards, taking my christmas card total to 19, I did use some of my UFO's (un- finished objects) from last year and one from quite a few years ago!

I will post them soon.   Here are a couple.
