My son was invited to a party for yesterday and I was so excited to find out he was having a spider cake. I had just found this design on Deann Oliver's blog. It was first time to use the sweet treat cups from SU and I love them.

Lost Mojo

Sorry I have not been posting lately. I have sort of lost my mojo. Hopefully all will be well soon and i will continue crafting and creating. When the rain stops I will get out and photograph some of the creations from the last month. I am no longer a Kaszazz consultant but will continue to use their products.

Team Training Day

Yesterday I went over to Dysart for a Kaszazz Team Training Day. These Days are for consultants to view and make cards and scrapbook using the brand new products. We had a fun day, laughing, talking and crafting. Below are 2 of the items we were able to make.

The scrapbook pages are from workshop #2H369. These pages were created using some of our new "School Days range".

The cards above are workshop #2H368. These are using just two of the many new stamps in the September New Products Release. I can't wait to put through my next order, although my bank account is probably already sweating. There are some many fantastic new stamps, and products that I just have to have.

Flower pot

Here is another card that I created for the 'TTD'. I have made quite a few of these cards but have always used other products. This one is made only with Kaszazz products. I will make another one before i submit it as I want to make a few small changes. The cards below are some other samples of flower pot cards i have made. The stamps I used are from http://www.papersquared.com.au/

I first saw the flower pot card on a friends blog using stamin up products!!

Funky Forest

As soon as I saw the design adhesives from the Kaszazz July New Products brochure I fell in love. Especially with #10127 Funky Forest. I have submitted these designs into Kaszazz to be accepted as a workshop, so I'll leave the 'destructions' for another time, or hopefully soon you will be able to contact your local consultant and they will be able to run the workshop themselves. Fingers XXX.

Cowboy Kid

Christmas and New Year really must be a fun time if you want to go by all the birthdays. We have 5 parties this week. My son loves Cowboys so when i found this stamp set I had to get it sent from the US.
I have coloured the image in with Water colour crayons, and used distress ink and sponged around the edge. Make sure to use permanent ink to stamp with when you colour with aquacrayons, as your image may bleed. I usually use Ancient Page or i use colorbox and emboss the image. I have raised the star to make it stand out.

Card: #9750 Madero Beach (neutrals pack), #4500 Bazzill blue, #4223 Pinecone Bazzill

Fathers Day

Here are some quick Fathers Day cards that I whipped up the other day. One day I will be organised that I will have cards made in advance so it's not a rush job 3 days after they should have been posted.

I used some old Stamp It stamps for this out of my stash. I sponged around the edge of the stamped images to soften the look.

Birthday Candle

This is an old card that I made when I first got my Cricut. I cut out "b r t h d a y' using the Don Juan cartridge. Instead of the "i", I stuck some ribbon down and tied a candle in place. The letters and the edge of the coloured card are highlighted with #4016 Crystal Ice Stickles. The card I used is #6230 Bazzill Basics Bling assorted.

Frangipani

I made this card for a friend who loves frangipanis. I cut the card out with my Jasmine Cricut cartridge. The letter, flower and egde of the yellow card have all been outlined with #4016 crystal ice stickles. I have placed a pearl bead in the centre of the frangipani.
Card - #6066 white 8 x 8, #4498 bazzill yellow, #4501 lemonade bazzill
