Happy Father's Day

Remember the first Sunday of September is coming up real soon. Let's celebrate the men who play a special part in our lives.

I have used the Father's Day stamp from the Occasional Notes set, the Word Window Punch and some new papers and stamps from the Mini Catalogue. Need a copy? Contact me and I can make sure you get one.

Smart Storage

...in the style sense that is! Yesterday the kids got busy crafting in the garage (which is where their stuff now lives) so I sat down with them and covered this little box in the Summer Picnic papers from the Mini Catalogue.Aren't those cherries just the sweetest!? And the die-cuts from the Mini are divine!
These are on the top of the box. This will be my new home for my small Stampin' Up punches. They have out grown this little tine they were hiding in.
I absolutely LOVE the new paper in this Mini Catalogue. And if you like the covered box above, keep your eye on this blog for a class coming up real soon. Numbers will be limited so keep watch!!

Spring Mini Catalogue Launch at Narara

I have been MIA for the last couple of weeks, I know. It has been a very busy time with preparation for the Launch of the Spring Mini Catalogue and I also have some other exciting news that you can read about over here (it involves more papercrafting, yay!)

I wanted to share with you the projects that we did at the Mini Launch at Narara. Nine of my great customers and my new downline (Hi Denise) got busy stamping, sticking and creating and everyone went home with one each of these:

Popsicle Card.

The tutorial for these can be found here at Chic n'Scratch. This idea has been floating around the net for a while and I am unsure as to the original designer. But the tutorial I found is nice and easy to follow and she has some great ideas on her blog.

Takeaway Gift BoxWe used the new Apple Cider papers to cover these takeaway boxes and the new stamp set - True Friend.

We also made a Christmas Gift Card holder, which I have forgotten to photograph so I will share with you the Apple Bucket I created for display.Launch nights are so much fun and I really enjoy sharing the new goodies with everyone.

Don't forget to head on over to my other blog to see what else I have been up to.

Pinks & Browns

Yes, more pinks and browns. I love these two colours together - strawberry and chocolate....mmmmm!Here are some up close details:

This card uses the Berry Bliss Designer Series paper and new goodies from the Spring Mini Catalogue. The rub-ons are just divine and really good quality. And good quality rub-ons are always so much easier to use in my opinion.

Speaking of the Mini Catalogue, I am holding a Launch Night with some other demonstrators and if you are local to the Central Coast.....you are invited!

Something to share.

This is my new display for my SU cards. Isn't is sweet? It began life as a 'Dorothy the Dinosaur' photo album designed as a handbag. I saw it on the shelf at K-mart and immediately pictured it altered with the delicious Berry Bliss papers from our catalogue. And don't you just love the glittered letters and hat pin?!? And the flowers......sigh! Just love it all really!

{Stylish Storage}

Check out this little number:
No, it is not a handbag. Although it looks suspiciously like one, doesn't it? Look what it holds:


Yes, all my SU cardstock. How cute is that?

Have a great day!
