Inks & markers - Baja Breeze, Chocolate Chip

Punches - Scallop Oval Extra Large, Oval Large

Sorry if Iforgot anything as Its been a while.

I'M BACK

I have finally returned. I am constantly reminded that I haven't blogged for over a year, so I thought I would give it a go again. So much has changed for me since I was last here. The first change is that I am now a Stampin up consultant. I have used these product for years and just love them. Everything coordinates and the stamp designs are to die for.


The other major change in my life is the big move. This has been going to happen for a long time, as I'm sure my friends can remember. It was all I talked about for a long time, this been that if no one knew it was too easy for my husband to change his mind. We finally bought our house a year ago, then took 9 months to very very slowly move our many many belongings. This was supposed to have been the easy option as it was only 4 hours away, but thankfully hubby thinks that we should get removalists in next time. Yeah!!!


I finally have my new craft room up and running. I have the double garage, but still wish it was bigger. I think that I will always feel that way because my craft gets spread out further and further. I will take photos soon and post them. Any layout suggestions are welcome as I'm still not happy with the layout.



I have been card making recently, but most of my creations are cased as I'm just not feeling very creative at the moment. I would like to thank everyone for posting their creations as this is inspiring me.




For my Dad's 60th Birthday he got tickets for a hot air balloon ride. So of course I had to match it with this stamp. I cased this card from the talented Teneale Williams. You may notice the colour combination. I wonder what my favourite colour combo was last year. Unfortunatly the photo quality was not very good, my camera died soon after.

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.
Stamp: Cowboy Kid (Stampin Up)
Card: #9750 Madero Beach (neutrals pack), #4500 Bazzill blue, #4223 Pinecone Bazzill
Ink: #TIM19527 Vintage photo distress ink, #72329 Chocolate Ancient Page,
#4542 Aquacolor Crayons (48), #4421 Mini round fasteners, #1292 Magic Mount, Twine

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.
Stamps: Father's Day, Father's Day Tools, Aussie Barbie (Stamp It)
Paper/card : #4223 Pinecone Bazzill, #4463 Typhoon Bazzill, #9750 Madero Beach & Kraft
