Last day for Sale-a-Bration and Spring/Summer Mini...

A friendly reminder that today is the last day to earn something for free, from Sale-a-Bration (SAB).  Click here to view them. And, if there was anything from the Spring/Summer Mini that you wanted, then it's the last day to order from that too!  Click here to view the mini. 


Here are two cards that I made with Sally while we were down in Rotorua for our Stamp Camp, earlier in the month. We've used the gorgeous Everyday Enchantment designer paper and the coordinating Enchantment Brad and Ribbon pack, which are both from SAB.

It's another beautiful day here in Auckland today. The sun is shining for the 6th day in a row!  I've been for my run, walked my little man Oscar and am about to start making some samples for my Autumn/Winter catalogue launch tomorrow. I've still got one spot left for tomorrow and a few for Tuesday night, if you wanted to come along. 


I had an amazing farewell last Wednesday, which was my last day at the school where I was working. I received beautiful flowers and gifts, had a yummy morning tea and felt so humbled by their generosity and kind words. I'm also very grateful for the many friendships I've made there, over the years. Luckily, I live next door to the school, so I'll be sure to visit when I can. 


Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

Easy Events meets SAB

This was the project we completed at my last class. It's a cute little box which is very easy to make (thanks to Julie Davison) and is home to four little note cards measuring 3" x 3". I've cased the cards from Crafty Clare who does a lot of clean and simple which is perfect when you've got a card or two, to make in a hurry. 


For the first card, we used the sponging technique. It could be used for Valentines Day, a wedding or an engagement. The little bird image fits perfectly with the Large Heart Punch. 

I've mounted my messages and images separately on the wooden blocks for the whole set,  which gives me more freedom and I can change the messages around to use with whatever image I want. 

The flower punch from the Itty Bitty Pack is used for these little 3D flowers.

A 5cm square piece of card stock can easily be turned into this scalloped mat with the Scallop Trim punch.  Quick and easy.
