welcome to the new year

2011 is here

and with it comes the usual resolutions of 

being healthier, 

being more creative and 

being more organised

simple really

lol

if only 

part of me being organised is having a diary

and although i long for a smiggle one i do not like their price

so i have got me a simple $2 one and decorated it and made it mine

a bit of this and a bit of that

scallop circle and a butterfly punch

white gel pen and lusciously retired raspberry tart dsp

now all i need are some customers to overwhelm me with workshops

for february and march 

(sale-a-bration sets available for every $100 purchase)

so i can write them into my new diary

plus i probably need to organise classes for this year too...that is coming i promise!

anyways posts will be few and far between for this month 

(aka scheduled ones)

as me and the family are off to new zealand for some well deserved rest and a family wedding

cheers ears everyone and have a lovely new year!

several things on the go

i am creatively busy at the moment trying to try new things and play with the stash that i have. thankfully i have homes for most of them which helps hey? anyways here is a selection enjoy! this is my entry for the essential baby card swap. the theme was love so i got out all my heart stamps and went a bit berko on the card and then punched images out with a 1 1/4" circle punch here i had some fun with my one of a kind stamp set and used my cuttlebug to add some swirls more cuttlebug here but stuck to a scallop note card. the stamp is from a sale-a-bration set called happy moments some punk rock emo chick stickers (lol) stuck to card stock with ribbon and such stuff. sssssssshhhhh but i used some hero arts stamps. aren't these little christmas girls just the cutest? some thank you cards for a customer using nature's nest stamp set a thinking of you card using trendy trees.... man oh man my stamp-a-ma-jig got a workout!!!! three little words stamp set. a set i find a bit tricky to use but have copied an idea from the ib&c and quite like it okies time for bed cheers ears!
