Mothers Day Class

Come along to this class that has been especially designed around Mothers Day. This layout is just gorgeous mounted in a 3D frame or else on a 12 x12 canvas. I'm sure your mum (or you!!!) would love to display a special keepsake of someone who means the world to them, proudly on their wall.

Using stunning papers and embellishments by Prima, along with some Kaiser blooms, your kit will be packed full of goodness such as vines, birds nests, bling, Shabby Chic Treasures, lace and flowers.

You will need a 5 x 7 landscape photo, adhesives including glue, tape and foam, distressing tool if you own one and scissors.


Class will run Friday 4th May from 10.00 - 12.00. Get in quick. Limited spaces due to stock availability.

Call the shop on 5222 1449 to secure your spot.

Farewell My Beautiful Friend xoxo

Monday was a day I had hoped would never come.  Hearing the news that my friend had passed a week earlier was devastating, although inevitable.  I had hoped and prayed that it was all just a bad dream.  Because why would God take such a beautiful, loving, caring, funny (if not a little sarcastic), young vibrant mum.  None of it makes sense and I'm sure never will.

Back in October when she was diagnosed, her world began to shatter.  I was there at the hospital on that awful day, to see my Neurologist, when she told me the news.  WTF??  No way!!!  My doctors told me she would be ok.  Young, healthy, got it early, only one tumor. How wrong were they?..... Three months on her life comes to an end and we are all left heartbroken and asking Why?

The one thing I will never understand is "Why should her beautiful children grow up without their mum?"


I made this canvas for her to take to Melbourne for her first surgery... so she had her kids to look at every time she opened her eyes.  I know I did everything I could to help her.... but the only thing I really wanted to do was make it all go away.

RIP NIK.  YOU WERE TRULY ONE OF THE BEST!!

Polly Scrap Kits Layouts

Last month I purchased the kit from Polly Scrap Kits.  It was great not to have to pull out any products other than the paint and just create.....  When I scrap usually I have to select stuff from the shop for classes or else select what embellishments I want to use for my Kaiser work.  Whilst I like selecting my own stuff it was nice not to have to.....

Here's what I created and still have quite a bit left... however its kinda scattered thru my scrap mess right now.




These photo's were taken at the Geelong Show in 2011.  Everytime we see these trampolines the kids want to have a turn.


Happy Scrappin'

Stampin Up!! Displays




This is the very first layout I have created using Stampin' Up! papers.  The only thing that wasn't Stampin' Up! were the thickers.   I have only done parties before where we have made cards but perhaps now I can teach layouts.  The paper range is from the Sale-A-Bration catalogue Everyday Enchantment.  The bonus is it is a freebie for all orders over $100, or you might prefer one of the four stamp sets on offer.  I spent so much the last month or so I have got nearly all of them.... oops.  But they were freeeee.

Here are some cards I made with the same range......



Everything except the buttons on the cards were by Stampin' Up.  

If you are interested to learn more about Stampin' Up! or host a Demonstration I can be contacted on

Happy Scrappin!!

KAISERCRAFT

Hi there,
Long time no see.  I look at my blog often and see that I NEVER update it....... where are the blog fairies when you need them??

I just have a little bit of exciting news I wanted to share......  I have been asked to design for the Kaisercraft Workshop Magazine.  Woo Hoo.  How did that happen??  Everyone is always at me about subbing to the mags and I've just been happy cruising but when Mel asked me to do some stuff for them I just had to say yes!!!  Look  out for my work from December. 

I am also joining Stampin' Up this week!!!  Wow I've got a lot on.  Hope I've still got time for washing and cooking LOL.

Cheers for now
