Hi there Yesterday we had team training at Jacque’s and also did swaps. Swaps are a great way to get ideas – this time we had to use product from the new Autumn-Winter mini. For my swap I made a Post It note holder: the inside I ended up using 7 things from the new… Read More: Team Swaps »

Hi there Well I still haven’t started my swaps yet but last night I made this cute punch art card. One of the guys in our Sydney office has just got his Australian Permanent Residency so I thought I’d make him a card. I had helped him get ALL the paperwork together so it was… Read More: Kangaroo Punch Art »
Hi there Well it’s been a few weeks since I felt like doing any challenges and this weeks challenge over at Try Stampin on Tuesday is a good one to come back to.

Hi there I’ve had a great day today – I’ve made two cards! which is a big thing considering I haven’t felt like crafting for weeks. I may even do some more this evening. Friends of our have three children. Each child receives a bath towel with a cross-stitched panel on it. The first got… Read More: Happy Birthday Dominic »
Hi there Wow – I hadn’t realised it was so long since I’d blogged. I am still feeling tired and don’t seem to have much energy – I wish these iron tablets would kick in. I did however manage to do some creating over the weekend. I make all the birthday gifts for staff at… Read More: Work Birthday Gifts »
Hi there Last night I finally finished my 100 Easter bunnies for work! I didn’t realise how much work (& time) was involved in putting these together when I saw them on a blog awhile ago. But I’m sure my work colleagues will enjoy receiving them and that’s what matters. This is perfect for the… Read More: JAI #111 »

Hi there I needed a baby boy card for one of the ladies at work who has just had a baby. I’ve been struggling trying to think what design to do and found this sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches which is perfect.

Hi there This week’s challenge over at Just Add Ink was to ‘Just Add Beaches’. I don’t have any beach themed stamps so pulled out my trusty set Crab & Company.

Hi there This week’s card is for my Mum – it’s her birthday today . Happy Birthday Mum, I hope you have had a great day. This photo doesn’t really do the card justice, it’s better in real life. There is no stamping on the outside of the card – just various papers from the… Read More: Try Stampin on Tuesday #57 »
Hi there When I saw this weeks sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches I thought I’d try something different with it. Instead of it being a flat card front I’ve made it that the right hand piece opens out (once you take the band off). I cut a slot in the DSP then slotted the Whisper White… Read More: Freshly Made Sketches #26 »
