When I do a demonstration for a hostess I bring along some kits for people to make their own card and it’s quite often that I have left over kits.  These kits of cut up card and ribbon tend to sit on my shelf and never get made up.  But today I decided to do […]


My monthly Stamp Club class is something I look forward to each month as it is so great to catch up with the girls and they truly have become my friends.  It’s class time again tomorrow and this is the card we’ll be making. It uses the big shot to cut the top note, little […]


I needed to come up with an idea for a Mother’s Day present for the girls in my youth group to make.  It needed to be simple and inexpensive.  This is what I came up with. Doesn’t it look impressive!  I found the idea at “Love, Paper, Scissors. Bug Art Design”.  Obviously I couldn’t afford […]


It was my sister’s birthday this week and I went my my mum and another sister to meet her for lunch.  We had a lovely time and so did my 3 yr old son and his 4 yr old cousin.  They loved playing in the water fountain that were near the restaurant but somehow they […]


Valentines Day of course! Well, I must admit that I’m not really a valentines person and I have never even made a valentines card.  But I sat down today for a little bit of craft time and thought I’d try my hand at a few “challenges”.  I checked a few blogs that I visit regularly […]

Once I started making it however I realized it wasn’t fiddly and that it was infact very easy.  You […]


Paper Tole

08Aug09

I have a confession to make, I secretly love paper tole.  Paper Tole is the technique of layering multiple copies of an image together to form a 3 dimensional version of the picture.  Sometimes it can be a bit cluttered and too grandma-ish (no offense to any Grandma’s reading this) but the time and skill […]


I had my first class at home yesterday.  I think it went quite well apart from the fact that it took 3 1/2 hours!  I didn’t realize how long it would take.  I guess the fact that my tape runners ran out and we had to cut double sided tape off the roll really chewed […]


The new mini catalogue is a great friend (lol) but in the new Spring Mini Catalogue there is a beautiful stamp set called Great Friend.  I promised I’d put some samples up using mini catalogue items and here is the first one. For this card I have used Not Quite Navy, Old Olive and Baja […]
