WOW! I had never used watercolour paper before and I cannot believe the difference it makes when using the WaterColor Wonder™ Crayons and the Aqua Painter™. You get a fantastic water colour effect with very little effort, I am so impressed. I would urge you all to take advantage of this months special 'Just Add Water' During July, spend $50 and get a family of Watercolor Wondercrayons or our Watercolor Pencils for 25% off. Click on Specials in the side bar to the left for more details. Email me to place and order. Host a workshop this month and get 10% off an Aqua Painter and a Stazon Ink Pad.

I will upload some more watercoloured images shortly.

A 6 by 6 Layout made using the 'At Home' Simply Scrappin' kit.

Many Thanks

This is a CASE of a Thank you card from the 'At Home' Simply Scrappin' kit.

I wouldn't have thought to use the Chocolate ribbon on the chocolate chip cardstock, but I saw a sample with the same combination, so I thought I'd try it and I think It works quite well.

Simply Scrapbooking Kits

This was a layout that I did at the Papercrafts Festival to demonstrate the new 'At Home' Simply Scrappin Kit and the On Board Simon Lowercase chipboard. I love the papers, the colours are so easy to match with both boy and girl photos and the chip board is a great size for scrapbooking. I love how the paper works so well with the sepia photos!

This kit matches with the Little Pieces stamp set, that's what I've stamped across the bottom of the page on the wide twill tape. I have also used the Stamp of Authenticity stamp set.

If your interested in any of these products please leave me a comment and I will contact you.

Love

This layout was done using a technique I have not tried before, shadowing!

Stamp using ink the same colour as your c/s, this makes the shadow, now, re-ink your stamp with white ink, before stamping in the white ink move your stamp over a fraction and this forms the solid image. You can also try this as I have done here, with the Stampin' around wheel.

Papercrafts Festival

Wow! What a great day we had at the papercrafts festival at Homebush today. We had a stall for independent Stampin'Up demo's.
We demonstrated lots of fabulous techniques and had make and takes for all to do.
But the best part was all the lovely ladies that we met.
Lots of ladies took home the Idea and Catalogue Book which I'm sure will become regular reading for them and a conversation piece among their friends. I hope I get to here from some of them again.
Please don't hesitate to ask me any questions about what you saw today or about anything in the catalogue that you are interested in.
Don't forget if you didn't purchase the Idea and Catalogue Book you can click here to view it online or leave me a comment and I will mail one to you for $10 plus postage.
I can always post orders directly to you!
I hope you had a great day!
