I is for.....

[Mandy]

I think we were up to Ion this, anyhow, we'll soon catch up

Ink, Iris Folding, Inspiration - and Inspirational people/crafters

[Merry]

Great minds think alike I have been thinking about this and wondering where we were up too.

Iris Folding I really enjoy. My first few were just using strips of magazine pages. I like the surprise of it all as the back section you are working on is not that attractive with all the strips and tape. Turn it over and magic there is a picture and quite often curves. Yes, that gets me everytime....you layer up straight edge paper and get curves. I will have to think of some more 'I's

Imagination.....

I don't do much with ink, not sure why really, always promising myself to get into it, goodness knows I have enough stamps etc. but not sure whay or how.
Always enjoy the iris folding as Merry says that first look is always amazing.
And always plenty of inspiration from our clever ladies on Craft Mad.

I is a hard one - imagination is good, I love to use mine and also inspiration - I take that from the things around me - usually the garden, although it does really help working with such wonderful stuff And, the inspiring creations on CM too, I keep thinking that I'd like to do something like the pink challenge Kerry organised this month and pick a gallery card a day to make up.

Ink - I reckon I use more computer ink with digital images then stamping ink. I've also recently got into creating my own transparencies and these come out beautifully on our laser printer. It's a shame they don't work on the colour ink jet though - just have to use my friends huge colour laser to create coloured ones. I did think about trying the transparencies in the ink jet to see if I could create my own rub ons. I reckon though that the ink would come right off before getting a chance to use it on any paper.

I for incredible. Thank you so much for the incredible papers and extras I won from GNI. The papers are sure to Inspire some beautful cards.

[Mandy]

That is good that you liked them Jan, nice to inspire too, you can see why I love my job so much (well, most days anyhow) have fun and can't wait to see what you come up with. I am totally behind on the gallery again, hopefully, the beginning of the month will be slightly quieter than the end.

Mandy I can see why you love your job with all that craft stuff but I am sorry to say I didn't win the GNI goodies it was Tracey. I am off to see what you sent her it all sound very nice I might even scrounge some of her. I think last month was a hard one Merry sent me Tracey's card swap I was hoping they would have arrived in the mail today probably tomorrow now. I have been in town all morning glad to get home I might try a nanny nap Kaye often talks about them I'll see if they help
one get more energy.

Maybe we should change that to a power nap Jan seeing as how we are still so young. The doctor told Ron he recommends a 10 minute nap for everyone no matter what age during the afternoon......so he thinks he has a perfect excuse now.....doctors orders.lol

[Mandy]

Sorry Jan, well done Tracey - you Gympie girls confuse me - lets just say the create and chat nights are super fun trying to guess who's talking

I'd be super worried about taking a nanny or power nap especially in the afternoon - there's a real danger I'd sleep right thru to morning
