Wonderful Life

It's been a while since I've been here- a very busy month!

The stamp launch went fantastically @ Blossies. The classes I've been teaching have been heaps of fun. All you ladies out there are so much fun to work with.

We spent two weeks down in Adelaide and got to catch up with family and teach @ Charlotte's Web which was heaps of fun. They loved the stamps- especially the Fancy Flourishes (one of my favorites too!) The Dickie Birds were an enormous hit with lots of orders for them! Since we got back I've been busy filling all the orders. If any of the ladies would like me to email them the ink info sheet, just drop me a line on my email (papercraftstudio@hotmail.com) and I'll get one to you.

This weekend I'm teaching @ Blossies again- a lovely card class that will suit any occasion and a REALLY FUN canvas class where I'll teach you some techniques to use your stamps on the canvas photo optional. This is a really fun messy class where we all get to play at being artists! there's still room avilable in both (follow the link on the right for Blossies).

Do you want some exciting news???

I've been working on new designs!!!!

I'm very happy with the new ones a great boy set and girl set, dots and the most stunning borders you have ever seen! I'll be releasing these into the world later this week with samples- soooo excited.

I'm busy working on mothers day projects and a Birthday Lo I'll be teaching next month. Stay tuned and I'll give you a sneak peek.

The free stamp offer has just been increased from $20 to $28.50 so you can get a free clear set if you desire! How does this work??? If you work is published in a Paper crafting magazine using one of our stamps and credit is given to 'Papercraft Studio', just email me and let me know so I can check it out and you get $28,50 worth of free stamps of your choice. Easy give it a go!

I'll add photos and a sneak later this week- promise!
Off to do more work,
Happy Crafting

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
