Happy Valentines Day!

Each year I usually make my daughters a little Valentines treat and card - and this year is no exception. The only difference is that this year I've cased the ideas from two very talented demonstrators that I received swaps from at our Stamp Camp.  Here's the treat pouch made by Anna Mathieson which is simple but gorgeous and filled with a peanut slab... Chocolate and Valentines Day go together fabulously, don't you think!   

And, this is the lovely swap I received from Bron Heslop. She's used Love Defined and the cute Pinking Hearts border punch (which sadly you can't see in the photo) and some bling! I love everything about this Bron - thanks so much for the inspiration!



I hope you've all been spoilt today!

Inaugural Stamp Camp

Last weekend was so much fun. The Creative Inkers held their inaugural Stamp Camp weekend in Rotorua. A wonderful time was had by all, with lots of laughs, awesome company, too much delicious food and not alot of sleep... Oh, and of course lots of fabulous projects. Thank you so much to all those who organised it and for the wonderful demonstrations we were treated to.

Here are two of the projects we made - the first one was taught by Paula Dobson. It's a cute little Gable box with a matching card using the Sentimental Journey stamp set. As Paula demonstrated, it's the perfect size for filling with little toiletries. 

The second project I'm showcasing was taught to us by Jacque Pedersen. The card uses the lovely Presto Patterns Specialty papers which are available for a limited time (until 31 March) from the Summer Mini catalogue. It was the first time I'd used these papers and now I'm hooked. They have lovely range of patterns and there are several ways to decorate them. Gorgeous and easy to use. 

And here's a little Valentines treat bag we also made with Jacque.  It certainly has the cute factor and would be suitable for lots of other occasions including little goodie bags for parties. There are sweets in the back, which you can't see (you'll just have to trust me that they are there...).  Contact me HERE if you want to learn how to make any of these inspirational projects.

 I hope your weekend is going well :)
