Hi there My cousin and his daughter are over from Australia at the moment and last night we went for a lovely walk around Ambury Farm. It’s so nice having this farm on our door step in a big city. If you live in Auckland and haven’t been there it’s a great place to visit –… Read More »
Hi there We’ve had another beautiful day here in Auckland – it’s been lovely and warm and we are about to head out for a walk and enjoy the last of the day. One of the guys at work became a dad for the second time – a little boy this time. Here is the… Read More »
Hi there What a beautiful day we’ve had here in Auckland. Phil and I have just got back from a lovely 45 minute walk in the park. It’s so nice to be able to get outdoors as I’m sure the ‘not so nice’ weather is not that far off! Yesterday was my friend Debs birthday.… Read More »
Hi there Here we are at the end of another week and almost a quarter of the way through the year! I’m looking forward to a relaxing weekend as the last couple have been rather full on. Today’s cards are part of my Christmas gift from my upline Jacque. Our task for March was to finish… Read More »
Hi there As promised here are the new components for my desk at work. My previous tissue box cover used to be in direct sunlight at our old office and it faded 🙁 so I thought it was about time for a new one – especially after I’d made 5 for the ladies at work… Read More »
Hi there I’ve been wanting to make one of these business card holders for ages and I finally got round to it over the weekend! They’re from Sam Donald – a very talented UK demo. The first one is for my Stampin’ Up! business cards to sit in on my desk – I can also take it… Read More »
Hi there Here are the last of the projects from Saturday. This project was taught by Rachael and her team. It’s a cute box that holds four tags and a book mark. They’re all made using the Tag Topper Punches. There are two styles of punches – the angled tag and the scallop tag which… Read More »
Hi there I hope your Monday has been a good one – mine was pretty good. A group of us from work went out for lunch today to celebrate the Persian New Year which is called Nowruz. We have a couple of staff from Iran so it was really nice to do something from their culture. I… Read More »
Hi there What a beautiful day we’ve had here in Auckland – we’ve been for two walks which was so nice as they had predicted it would be wet today. Yesterday was our neighbours birthday so I ran up this quick card for him. After teaching this style of card at Stamp Camp last month… Read More »
Hi there Today we’ve had the Auckland Extravaganza event with about 90 ladies attending. It was a great day and everyone made five projects. This is the project that Narelle and I taught. It’s called a Matchbox Box. This is normally made using the Envelope Punch Board but I changed it so that we used the Simply… Read More »
Hi there I hope you’ve had a good week. Tomorrow I’m teaching at the Auckland Extravaganza so I’m madly rushing round getting everything together now so that I can have a sleep in tomorrow morning! This week one of my colleagues daughter has been off school with a head cold – so I thought I’d… Read More »
Hi there Today is my Mum’s birthday – she’s the BEST mum (and friend) in the world. The other week Mum (and Dad) helped me prep the kits for the Tauranga Extravaganza so I thought I’d make Mum a card in the same design. I’ve used some of my favourtie colours and products for this… Read More »
Hi there I thought I’d share with you some cards I’ve received in the last couple of weeks from my upline Jacque. It’s so nice to receive ‘snail mail’. These both feature the Note Card and Envelope set. I really love the new scallop tag topper punch – it’s so versatile and adds a quick layer… Read More »
Hi there Back again with another I made in the weekend. I’ve used Summer Silhouette which is a two step stamp set for this card – have you tried two step stamping? Two step stamping is where you image has two parts to it – in this case step one is the stem of the… Read More »
