Challenge #4 Southern Girls Challenge

Challenge #4 is up over at Southern Girls Challenge! The topic is GLITTER!!! Who doesnt love a bit of glitter on a card or LO!?
So go check out the cool samples put up by the DT and start creating your own card, layout, off-the-page, anything crafty.
Below is a double LO that I did last year. The title uses Thickers glitter letters. The 2 main photos are raised with foam tape to give a bit of dimension.

Looking forward to seeing everyone's creations.

Scottie Crafts class

I am running this class at Scottie Crafts next Wednesday, Nov 20th 10a.m. till noon.I have been playing with the awesome new Tim Holtz Paper Rosette die! So easy to fold! My mind is racing with other ideas for using it!

The background paper is a gorgeous resist paper from Pink Paislee which I have inked. The patterned paper is from the Webster's Pages Hollywood Vogue. I have also used the Martha Stewart pansy punch and added some cool Prima page pebbles.

Have a great weekend! x

All these great products are available in the Scottie Crafts fabulous store and from the website.

Bye for now!

Last project for Celebrate NZ comp!

For the last project in the Celebrate NZ competition at Scrapbook Outlet, we were sent a mystery product that we had to use! I cant say that I was thrilled when I opened the envelope to find a set of Kaiser wooden dolls!! Not what I imagined at all! For a start, it meant an 'off-the-page' project. Anyway after the initial "oh no!", I decided to get some positive thoughts happening!
 As Christmas is sneaking up all too fast I decided to "think decorations" and came up with this set of angels for the mantlepiece.

Actually, I am quite chuffed with them and even tho' its a tad early to start decorating, they can stay on the mantlepiece until after Christmas!

Southern Girls Challenge: 4 layers patterned paper

This weeks challenge at Southern Girls Challenge is to use 4 layers of patterned paper on your creation. here is my take on the challenge. Check out the blog, where other DT have made some lovely cards and layouts to inspire you.
Also this month we are on the hunt for a GUEST DESIGNER for Challenge # 5 on the 4th November. If you are interested in the position all you have to do is upload your layout, card or OTP project in the usual way and then leave a comment saying that you are interested in being the GD!

I am feeling very excited about becoming part of the DT at the very cool new Scottie Crafts - The Pink Store with crafts galore! They stock some of the coolest brands, such as Tim Holtz, Prima ,Webster's Pages etc. For such a small shop they have an amazing array of stock. Adrienne, Ann and Wendy are super friendly and helpful.

In my first LO, Christmas Dreams, I have cut a diecut frame, fussy cut some very cute Best Creations Inc. papers, inked some of the stunning glazed patterned cardstock and added plenty of glittery effects using Stickles and Diamon Dust on the flowers.
For anyone interested, I will be running this as a class at Scottie Crafts on Wednesday, 13th October, 10am till noon.
