New stockists....

Been busy this week making and packing a large card order for my new and first interstate stockists Lush Creations.


I am so excited to be working with Amy so if you get a chance, head on over to their site and have a look around or if you live locally to Hilton, WA pop into their shop!




On a different note, it must be getting ready for wedding season because i now have three clients all getting married on the same day! I have been terrible at remembering to photograph my samples before i send them out (can i claim pregnant brain?!), but this time i managed to snap a few, this sample hot off the craft desk and heading out to a lovely bride-to-be...

My Creative Space.....

i can't even tell you how long it has been since i cracked out the guillotine and filled the studio with lots of yummy colourful paper scraps - way to long. With card stocks dwindling im trying to do a few nights a week in the studio cranking out some new cards. Trying to stock up before i get too pregnant to want to move (only 14 weeks to go people!). Already got the serious baby belly thing going on - the muscles aren't quite as strong by number 3! And still driving the hubby nuts by asking him to move half the furniture in the house around for me..... hehe


So anyway, in my space today im playing with some lovely girlie prints like these....



Watch this space for some new designs! More creative peeps HERE.

My Creative Space..... All about Dad

With fathers day fast approaching i am working away at some fathers day cards to get out in time for September 5th for all those wonderful dads out there....


In my creative space today i am loving my Craft Robo die cutting machine, which is my best ever Flea Market Find! I picked it up at a craft car boot sale about 18 months ago.

Normally i am a bit wary buying electronics second hand but this one hasn't missed a beat and i use it constantly. The software can take virtually any image trace it and cut it out on paper, cardstock or vinyl - no expensive cartridges that only have a limited number of pictures/shapes.


so this is my work in progress, ill be posting some in the shop later today (which is looking sadly empty ATM - but im working on it!)

Hope everyone is having a wonderfully crafty day!

Catching up....

Well we made it through out bush camping weekend with all limbs still attached. We had a fabulous time despite the -5 degree temperature on the last night! BRRRR..... Maybe we should have rethought bush camping at Warwick in the dead of winter! LOVE being in the great outdoors though and thought id share some pics from the weekend...













Well i had a quite a few projects on the go last week that i haven't had a chance to share yet.

These invitations for a client that i managed to snap a few quick photos of before i ran out the door to deliver them...





Also some custom cards being sent off:




and you might remember me mentioning the impending arrival of some sewing books that i was getting for my birthday.....

Well they arrived this week! So keen to get stuck in to them....



i even managed to squeeze in the first project from 'one yard wonders' before we went away.

I have been meaning to redecorate Miss B's room ever since she moved into a bed. It is still decorated in nursery colours, So i made a start by revamping this photo board using the first project......



and the result
