Autumn Mini Catalogue

The Autumn Mini Catalogue is available now (yes I know it hase been for a few weeks now..sorry life has been shall we say chaotic!!). Click here to view the catalogue online or if you would like your own copy just drop me a line.

My favourites from this catalogue....everything on pages 14 and 15. Love the colour combo and the images are divine.

My first project to share is a case of the card on page 14. I did this card as one of the workshop projects for a recent workshop for Grace (hi ladies).

We have used the Nature Walk stamp set together with the colour spritzer to make the collage background of the card. The colours we have used are Chocolate Chip, Marina Mist, So Saffron and Old Olive. I love that bird cage image...so sweet.

If you would like to book your own workshop and try out the new mini catalogue products be sure to contact me so we can arrange a time.

Thanks for stopping by

This week's challenge at Just Add Ink is a sketch challenge.

Here is the sketch:

My photo is a shocker and I will try and get a better one in the morning but the deadline is Midnight tonight so I didn't have a chance to wait for better light (or for the Crystal Effects to dry for that matter). So here is my entry:

The label holder is straight in real life...honest. The bird from the Always Stamp Set and the inside of the label holder have been covered in Crystal Effects for a bit of dimension and sparkle. Using it this way it would normally take a few hours to dry completely. Make sure you leave your card flat or the Crystal Effects will run with gravity (how do I know this you ask hmmm I may have had a little accident with it in the past).

I have cut roses from one of the sheets of Bella Rose paper and the other flower is made from circles of various sizes cut from the Bella Rose pink paper. I have also stamped the script stamp from the Level 2 Hostess Set Rustic Rooster several times on a strip of pink Bella Rose paper and torn and inked the edges.

The pearl in my flower centre is from the Pretties Kit and the label holder from our Styled Silver Hodgepodge. I tend to buy these things and then never use them because they are "so pretty". But I am making myself use them now and they do look much nicer on a card then sitting in a box where they won't be seen (wouldn't you agree??).

So there you have it my not quite dry yet entry...make sure you stop by Just Add Ink and enter too..you have until midnight tonight.

Thanks for visiting

Christmas In July Class

I have a cute class planned to celebrate Christmas in July this year. The class features the gorgeous "I Wish" Simply Scrappin Kit from Stampin' Up!.

In the class we will be making 3 cards and 6 tags as well as decorating a tin (complete with a belly band) to store them in. This could either be a cute gift or a fabulous way to get yourself organised for Christmas.

There is also plenty left in your kit to go home and make some more cards and tags.

I only have 5 spots for this class so be sure to book early.

The class costs $35 and will be held on Sunday 18th July at 1 pm. The class runs for approximately 3 hours.

Please note I will need payment by Friday 9 July to order the supplies.

Happy Scrappin

Just Add Ink 23

This week at Just Add Ink the challenge is to just add patterned paper. Now I love my Designer Series Papers so I knew this would be a challenge I would really enjoy.



For my card I used the Haiku Designer Series paper. The flower embellishments are made by layering different sized circles that have been punched from the paper, scrunched and inked. I have added some Felt flowers as well.

The sentiment and leaves have been diecut with my new favourites Timeless Type and Little Leaves for the Big Shot.

The Green scalloped circle is a Carousel Note from my stash of retired product.


Thanks for stopping by and don't forget the challenge is open till Midnight Wednesday so you still have time to enter.

Happy Stamping

Edited to add: My card was picked in the top 5 this week at Just Add Ink .... I am an excited little vegemite.

Bridal Shower Card

One of my lovely scrapbooking friends is getting married this month and to celebrate Mum and I travelled to Uralla on Sunday for a little scrapbooking shower with friends.

It was a lovely day and even though I did absolutely no scrapbooking it was fabulous to catch up.

I was still in a pink, black and white mood after this layout (and it won the Stamp-A-Memory Challenge..I was very excited lol).

Anyway back to the card, I have used Sale-a-bration set "Vintage Labels" together with the Mr & Mrs from "Occasional Greetings" and the damask stamp from "Friends 24-7".

The large black scallop oval is actually a diecut I "borrowed" from my Mum's stash but it fitted the wide oval punch so perfectly...obviously it was meant to be.

Here is Dannii and her gorgeous bub Cooper. Aren't the veil and bling divine.

Danni sure knows how to dress for the occasion.

Wishing you all the best for a fabulous wedding day Dannii and a lifetime of love and laughter with your man and your gorgeous little bub.

Can't wait for another Scrapbooking day otherwise I will be waiting to see all the girls in August at this fabulous event.

I was checking the SPCC blog this morning for the new colour challenge and noticed that my soccer layout made the Top 5. I thought that was prety cool. Love those cute photos of Ben playing soccer.

Thanks for visiting and thanks to everyone who has left comments for me. I absolutely love reading them and it has really made my week.

Happy stamping

February Technique Club

My monthly Technique Club has started up again and this time around I am teaching different card folds.

We started this month with an Easel Card. These cards are gorgeous as they stand up but fold flat for postage. We made our cards using a 12" by 4" piece of cardstock.

Here is the side on view of the card:

And a closer view of the card front.

Even though the Club has started I still have room for another two ladies so if you are in the Tamworth area and interested in a fun night of craft once a month please contact me for more details.

Thanks for stopping by.

Just Add Ink Challenge 3

Hi all,

I just realised that I hadn't shared my entry for the 3rd Just Add Ink Challenge.

I missed the deadline for this one but I am really pleased with how my card turned out.

It was a sketch challenge:



And here is my card:

I have used the Good Friend Stamp Set stamped on the back of my patterned paper and cut out so that I could paper piece the little birdy. He is such a cutie.

The sentiment has been stamped then punched out with the large oval and layered onto the scallop oval and curvy label punch (hello my name is Lisa and I am a punch-a-holic lol).

Happy Stamping
