You Rock!

I made this card for my daughter Olivia who just turned 8.  She love the colour green and love's this stamp set from Stampin' up! (a retired set).  I added stitches on the skull as she too has recently had stitches on her head and hoping she would see the funny side to this.

Magazine Appearance

Thanks to Doreen's story about how we meet on the internet we both appeared in UK's Cardmaking & Papercraft Magazine Issue 92.  The top photo is when Doreen came to Australia and we finally got to meet one another for the first time as we have been interacting via the internet and the second photo of us is when I was lucky enough to go to Malta last year and visit Doreen.  Doreen is a lovely person and very welcoming and we connected instantly and our passion for crafts is equally matched.  I feel very fortunate to have meet her and Doreen has a cool website with amazing cards that she has designed.  I keep telling Doreen that she should publish her designs in a book and that I will be the first in line to purchase it-still waiting Doreen.  You can check out her gorgeous blog here.

Tim Holtz Die-Cut

 

I made this for my 13 year old niece and was using the combination of Stampin' Up! punches and Tim Holtz Die-Cuts and distress inks as well as some stickers to complete this card. Lots of fun and the Big Shot is a must for any craft addicted like me.

Community Centre

The last two weeks I have been working on several workshops at the Community Centre in Hoppers Crossing.  We worked on a Hanging Scrap Page, I took some photos of one of the classes to share.  There were quite a few long nights preparing these workshops but all was worth it to see the smiles on their faces.
