Hi there Here in New Zealand we have one more week in Alert Level 4 then move to Alert Level 3. There’s not much difference between levels but it will allow for online shopping so hopefully that means we can place crafting orders again – will keep you posted on that. Today’s post uses one… Read More »
Hi there One of the downsides of being in lockdown and working from home is that the days of the week don’t seem to mean anything anymore. Instead of Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday etc they’ve now become yesterday, today and tomorrow 🙂 Today’s post features some off cuts I had from the Country Club DSP –… Read More »
Hi there I hope you all had a restful Easter weekend. Here in New Zealand we had a ‘staycation’ weekend as we are still in our lockdown. That means no ‘Sunday drives’, no shopping (other than for groceries), no going out with family or friends just staying in our ‘bubble’. So that’s what we did… Read More »

Hi there I hope you are all well and staying safe in your ‘bubble’. I’ve had a full on two weeks ‘work wise’. On Monday 16 March our company made the decision to get all Auckland based staff to be working from home by the end of the week. It was a huge task as… Read More »
Hi there Finally managed to get to the computer to share another project with you. This one is straight from the catalogue – why reinvent the wheel when somebody has already created a beautiful card? I don’t own the Tropical Oasis set but fortunately one of my team does so I’ve been able to have… Read More »
Hi there The Tropical Oasis Designer Series Paper is the perfect design to create a ‘Hawaiian’ shirt – great for a masculine card. This design was really handy as I needed two masculine cards last month for family friends of ours. I did one in a portrait orientation and one in a landscape. The shirt… Read More »

Hi there On Saturday I held a workshop with a lovely group of ladies. We made two cards and a 3D item. Both cards we made using the Whisper White Notecards and Envelopes. First up is the Painted Poppies card – you’ll have to wait a bit to see the other two projects. This design… Read More »

Hi there I don’t know about you but I often have bits and pieces (stamped images, dies cuts etc) on my desk that have been left over from previous projects. I found some of those ‘bits’ under some papers so decided to make them into a card. I think I’d been playing around with colour… Read More »
