Cute Cute Cute Tote Bag GSD

I created this file tonight to save myself having to cut and score totes with my trimmer. I love them and plan to make them all the time, so using my Quickutz Silhouette will save me literally hours! This file will work with any cutter that works on GSD files (Craft Robo and Silhouette both do).

I hope this helps others! I've test cut it and it's perfect. Fits the standard A6 cards like a glove!

This is my first GSD file creation, so I would really appreciate your feedback. If anyone has trouble with the file, please feel free to contact me and I will endeavour to help you.

You can download the file here. The password is "cardlover".

In sharing this file for free, I ask that you please DO NOT share it with others. Please direct them here to my blog where they can download it themselves. Whilst I did not come up with the idea to make card totes myself, I did spend hours creating this file. If you do download, please post a comment and let me know what you think of it!

Edited To Add: Here's a pic of a tote I made this morning. So happy with how it turned out!

A card for the Mr...

I had so much fun making this card for my husband. I used SU!'s fabulously gorgeous watercolour paper, and OMGoodness!!! I'm never going to watercolour on Whisper White again! The WC paper gives SUCH a beautiful finish. I am very much in love with it! I've always been apprehensive about watercolouring, being so NOT an artist myself, but with the WC paper, it just worked. Do yourself a favour and try it! I promise, you will not be disappointed! The card is a CASE from the IB&C, page 130.

Stamps: Summer By The Sea and Warm Words.

And the Sizzix goes to...

A layout for Kaylah

I created this layout of my niece, Kaylah, yesterday. The layout is cased from the Idea Book & Catalogue, but I've changed the colour scheme. It turned out better than I had hoped! I don't usually scrap with such bright colours, but I think this came together well and really suits the pics.

Stamps: Garden Annuals wheel, Big Deal Alphabet

Cardstock: Whisper White, Real Red, Garden Green, Tempting Turquoise, Pink Passion and Yoyo Yellow.

Ink: Real Red, Garden Green, Tempting Turquoise, Pink Passion and Yoyo Yellow.

Other: I added some Kindy Glitz to the center of the flowers, as I didn't have the right colour brads.

If you would like to order any of the Stampin' Up! supplies used to create this project, please email me.

Blog Candy -Gotta love it!

We all love Blog Candy, right? I'm trying to rationalise my scrap room into a functional space, so I'm cleaning out (slowly, but surely). It's time for me to part with my beloved Sizzix. I haven't used it for some time now, since I became the proud Mummy of Jovi (the Cuttlebug), so it really makes sense for me to move it on. So, yep, you read right, today's Blog Candy is a Sizzix Machine, with converter and brand new cutting plate. The BN cutting plate is still in its packaging, so you're effectively getting a brand new Sizzix Machine. It will arrive on your doorstep in its original packaging, with the new plate and converter.

To enter in the draw for this fabbo prize, simply leave me a comment here AND sign up for my free monthly newsletter (sign up box in right hand sidebar). Open to Australian residents only. Prize will be drawn using random.org.

Edited To Add: Oops! Forgot to put a closing date on this! Entries open until September 15th. Prize will be drawn and sent in the following week. Winner will be notified via email and posted here on the blog. Thanks for looking!
