6x6 Scrapbooking on the Central Coast

I love scrapbooking 6x6 pages -they come together so quickly! Today's page is very simple and I think that I might turn it into a 12x12 page to finsish it off, but this is it for now. I'm just loving the Walk In The Park DSP from the Spring Mini!

Just a reminder that the Spring Mini Catalogue products are only available for another 5 weeks. If you'd like to see these products and have a play with them yourself, why not contact me today to book an in-home workshop and earn yourself some great products FOR FREE!

Stamps: None! -uh-oh, check my temperature!

Papers: Walk In The Park DSP, Sahara Sand

Simple Handmade Christmas Card #1

Christmas is just 9 weeks away! Have you made a start on your Christmas Cards yet? If not, today's card may just be a lifesaver for you. Handmade Christmas Cards are so special for the recipients. To know that someone cares enough about you to spend time making a card for you by hand is so touching! As the artist, you might find that it's very time consuming to make a large number of cards to ensure everyone on your Christmas Card List is going to receive one of your handmade treasures. But, it doesn't have to be that way! Today's card is really simple and quick to make, but it looks fantastic, doesn't it? I CASEd this card from the PaperCraftsMag website. It appealed to me because of its simple design (I knew that would make it quick to replicate) and also because it is just so cute!

Cardmaking meets Stamping Techniques

My poor, neglected blog! I do apologise for the long break between posts. This time of year is crazy busy with family birthdays and events for us. Thankfully the celebrations are over and hopefully I will now have more time to get back to regular posts!

Today's card is CASEd from a Stampin' Up! publication exclusive to demos. I love the simple beauty of this card and the colours are very "me". The main image is stamped using household bleach (a really simple but very effective stamping technique).
