This week Julia took the class and this is what we made: It’s called a Sour Cream Container. This one uses… Read More »
Hi there I have finally got around to making a card for this months challenge over at the NZSU blog. The challenge was to include ribbon somewhere on your project. I’d seen a bow ages ago which is made using a brad (here) so thought – now is the time to trial it. The instructions were really… Read More »

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 »

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. I don’t have any baby stamp sets (this will change come 1 April) so… Read More »
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. Now I know this set has been retired for awhile but I will never part with it. I think it’s great for all ages and has… Read More »
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 »
Hi there Over at SU Only Challenges this week they’ve gone green – any shade will do. I’ve gone with Pear Pizzaz and it’s Dynamic Duo – Garden Green.

Hi there I’m sitting here eating my salad (still trying to think it’s summer) but I should be eating something warm as I’m feeling cold – never mind. The challenge this week at JAI is to CASE Nikki Spencer. I checked her entire blog and picked about 6 I’d like to CASE but have narrowed it down to… Read More »
Hi Over at the NZSU blog I gave everyone a challenge – to use the big shot for a card or 3D project. So I thought I’d better enter it myself! I make the birthday gifts for all the staff at work and this year I am making a variety of boxes and filling them with chocolates… Read More »

Hi there Thought I’d do a quick post while eating my late lunch! It’s a beautiful day here in Auckland & we’re trying to make the most of the sunny weather. Our neighbour has just had a knee operation and I wanted to send her a card so have used the sketch from TST and the colours… Read More »

Hi there Wow two posts in one evening! I’ve had this sketch sitting on my desk to complete for a few days then realised it closed in a few hours so had to create this quickly. I just received a new order on Tuesday that had the Postage Punch and Fresh Vintage stamp so thought… Read More »
