Harvest time...

Harvest time in our garden. It's grown so much with all the rain. Tomatoes, Corn, lettuce and sun flowers...

The kids love it and are eating more veggies!

I've been busy working on more samples and arranging classes. I've updated the galley with even more projects. After I finished the samples i found this bodice and had a great deal of fun decorating it.



I had great fun working on these canvases on friday night @ Blossies.

Here's one of the new samples you can find in the gallery.
I'll be teaching up in Toowoomba on Friday the 15th of Feb- more updates soon!

Update...

I hope you all had a fantastic and restful holiday period :)

What a mammoth effort! I just updated the gallery with 41 new layouts and cards. The top section is all samples using my new range of clear stamps! It's very exciting to be using my new designs. I've just about finished the catalog for the new stamps. I've now got 30 designs in the Gold Series- 19 of them brand new designs. The other 11 incorporate some of the most popular stamps from the rubber series. I will still continue the rubber, just expanding to clear too!

Best News: new stamp sets will be available from 1st Feb and are only $28.50 rrp. What a bargain! I also wholesale these stamps so if you are interested please contact me (businesses only), or tell your local Scrapbooking or Stamping store, I'd be happy to help.

We are having a big release demo party on the 2nd of Feb @ Blossies, so come and join us!

Upcoming Classes: Calendar Creations- 13th Jan @ Blossies, Beautiful Family (first play with clear stamps!) and some beautiful cards combining the Papercraft Studio Stamps and the noteworthy paper range both on the 27th Jan @ Blossies. Feb 15th @ Scrapbook Obsessions Highfields combining our stamps and wax- fun fun fun!. 1st march- Charlot's Web Adelaide. I am available for teaching at you local store in the southeast Queensland area, local club or papercraft event. Just contact me to discuss details.

Now that business is out of the way I can do some sharing...

Found this before christmas and just fell in love with it. She sings and dances Tip toe through the tulips''. Funniest thing, makes me Smile:)
You may wonder where my obsession with birds comes from... here's a clue from my past...
I used to spend hours playing with this little brass bird as a very small girl. It sits just so snugly in the palm of your hand and it takes on your body warmth as you hold it so as a child it almost feels like its alive- magic. I was lucky enough that when I spotted it at mums house last year, she gifted it to me. its a little bit of childhood magic that still makes me smile. Now Abbi love it to. There you go, a bit if by bird obsession.

Which is probably why I've chosen my word for the year (inspired by Ali Edwards) as FLY. A small word but it means so much to me. I can fly and make my dreams come true. A bird can get there much quicker and enjoy the view, (as a crow flies). So that is my word FLY free and be ME!

happy creating
