Just have to give this site a Plug

Hi All
just gotta share this site with you http://www.paisleysandpolkadots.com/ 
I purchased one of their kits the other day, WOW it got here so quick!!! The instructions were really clear and all the pieces were pre cut - talk about tooooo easy.
Here was the end result:

I'll definitely be going back for more - there are some really cute mini book kits as well

More sneak peaks - Kaiser workshop page

Hey all - I've just posted the following sneak peaks on Scrappers Delite Facebook page.
I had a heap of fun with this new Kaiser paper - so much so that there is too much on it for one of my usual evening classes - this will be a Saturday workshop - price and dates to be confirmed with Scrappers Delite.

As promised - More Bo Bunny

Hi All
Well, I finally finished the alternate layout using papers from Bo Bunnys' Gabrielle range - here are a few sneak peaks - So who says "You can't cut out circles with a straight border punch?"  Not me - come to the class and learn how!!!

Bo Bunny Classes at Scrappers Delite

Hey Bloggers, Guess who's been busy with the recent releases from Bo Bunny?

Just a few sneak peeks from a double layout suitable for boys using papers from the Bo Bunny BLAST OFF! range.  Classes will be held soon at Scrappers Delite www.scrappersdelite.com.au for contact details.

Stay tuned for a similar layout for girls, using Gabrielle and a mini book using Timepiece..

cheers  for now

Punches, Punches and More Punches

Hi all

I came across a very low key announcement from We R Memory Keepers about some new punches they were releasing at CHA 2011 (January)

I was absolutely gob smacked and couldn't work out why there wasn't more of a song and dance about therm.

I have ordered some and they should be available Mid-May - if you would like to pre-order - let me know - They should be around $45 but I wll firm up prices later on.

If you love die cut pages/paper they are definitely for you - check out this sample video for details:

Remember this one?

This Layout was done a while ago for a class.  Some time later when we couldn't get anymore of the paper (isn't it always the way?)  Danielle - bless her cotton socks - decides she wants to get into scrapbooking and pleaded with me to help her do this page with different papers...cue fluffy clouds and misty music....

Now what really happened, was more like me nagging the proverbial out of Danielle until she caved in and said she would have a go at one of my layouts...

Little excited me, skips around the shop picking out paper - Mama Razzi from Bo Bunny, a Tim Holtz mask was thrown in and some laser cut clock hands selected too.

This was the result.....Drum Roll Please

I think we've started something because there are a few ladies coming to Scrappers Delite tomorrow night to do the same (but different) page

Wow time has flown by!!

Well, the new year has well and truly kicked off and we've all hit the ground running. So while I am getting some photos of layouts ready to upload, I thought I would share these tutorials I've found. They're certainly making me look at my punches in a new way!

These circle cutters have arrived and they use the same blades as the Martha Stewart Trimmer

Are you planning a December Daily Album this year?

I can't believe how fast this year has flown by!!  But nevertheless, I was determined to do a December Daily album this year and, to make it easier I wanted to have it complete - sans photos - before December 1.

For those of you who are not familiar with the concept - check out Ali Edwards blog here at http://aliedwards.com/projects/

As for me, I am so excited - not only is my first  December Daily album finished and ready for photos, I 've made the album itself as well and it has been ready for over a week!!!!!

Classes Coming to Scrappers Delite

I just wanted to share these sneak peeks with you - these will be classes at Scrappers 

Delite - check with Sharon for details

 

So I thought I would take part in a challenge

I just love the Color Room - it is a fantastic place to get ideas and to stretch your creative mojo.

Here is what I submitted this week

Time is flying by!!

Well I did clean up my desk - but it didn't stay very clean for very long 

I have been busy in a more creative way so I thought I would share some pics with you 

I've finally made a new christmas wreath for our front door - it needs a bit more bling but I haven't made up my mind about that yet.  This will be offered as a private class - just drop a comment to let me know you are interested.  The paper depicted is from Basic Grey's Fruitcake range (sorry Sally, I couldn't get Wassail)

Paper Quilt Project

Hi All - while I've been cleaning up my desk I found the "startings" of a project I was inspired to do by Christine Middlecamp at http://retrospection.typepad.com/my_weblog/2010/05/the-embellished-paper-doily-part-three.html

I've managed to get hold of some of the paper doilys that were used by Christine - so I was wondering if anyone wanted to join me in completing their own Embellished Doily project?

Leave me a comment so I know to put some doilys away for you

What a Mess!!!

Ya know it is a wonder my husband doesn't divorce me - especially when you realise that this mess is in our lounge room!!!

 

So I thought this might help  - one of the new desktop organiser's from Kaiser

 

Of course - I'll have to decorate it first !! LOL
