Distressed Little Golden Book

 

I made this up for my lovely girlfriend Michelle as per her request, so I thought I would share it with you.  It now has a swirl or 2 to go on from the wonderful Tim Holtz Range and the inside pages are done. It just needs photos. This will also be a class. So I will be interested to know who would like to do it and will run it either privately or as a Friday night class. Sorry for the orientation of the inside pages. For some reason only known to the web page it would only display the pictures this way. So just tilt you head!

Family Words Series - Torn Squares

This is a class that we did a while back but with slight;y different flowers. I re-did it with punched flowers and it has gone into Kaszazz with the family words series. The girls had a lot of fun doing this one. It is well worth the effort. Not particularly difficult either. As you can see you can get away with boys and girls.
This is still available as a class. Please contact me if you are interested in doing this.
Have a great evening.

Family Words Series - Memories

This is the first layout in a new series of classes that I am doing. The first layout is $30 and this will include a $7.95 Family Words Chipboard 12x12 pack. Then the classes will be $25. If you already have this chipboard set then the class is $25. If you choose to start the series at one of the other pages then you will need to order the chipboard words at $7.95. As a special for those who start the series from the Memories layout you will get the chipboard Family Words for $5. Hence $30 for the class not $32.95.
The aim of these classes is to help you make the most of the chipboard words and use them up. Nothing worse than buying something like this and then only using one word and the rest gets tucked away. At the same time we have created to date 4 different and exciting pages to tempt you and give you inspiration. I hope you like the following pages and are keen to book in with me to do the pages.
These pages are not available from Kaszazz at this time. You can only do them by booking with me. They will eventually be available through Kaszazz at a later date, price for the classes will be advised at the time of publication through Kaszazz.

Cup Cake SB Cards

These 3 cards are part of a series I did with my friend Sue. She came up with the idea and we played a little and decided on the 4831 cupcake / stripes SB card.
Originally all 3 were in the same card, but after a little trial and error we decided that the last card really 'popped' with the 4563 Dot / Daises SB card.
The butterflies are something I couldn't resist, I had a little fun with puffy tape on these to keep the wings up.
So this is a class that I will be teaching next Thursday at my Craigmore Class.
You will need a basic kit.
Cost for this class would be $25 if you would like to book it in, including the scallop hanging circle.































This needs ribbon and it is the wrong orientation. opps. You can see the hole. Well yes that is the top. :)

Friday End of Month - Panda Page

This page is a fun page that uses the rollergraph. This is the noodle design wheel that is one that I have always loved but struggle to find a good use for.
Well my friend Jan came up with this page and did a great job of it.
I really loved the fact that these are Christmas papers from the Kaszazz range. She has a fantastic imagination for using papers in ways that others wouldn't think to do.
Love your work Jan keep it up. :)

You will be stamping, heat embossing, paper layering, distressing with ink, paper tearing and matting. Really a little bit of everything in this page. The panda's are an optional element and you can substitute these for something different like a Chinese lady or fans on the day of the class. If you have a request let me know. I also have some Teddy Bears that would look nice.
You will need to bring a basic tool kit. But saying that if you have your cutter, supertape and scissors you will have all you need.

Time: 11 am or 7.30 pm
Place: Blakeview - email me for the address.
Date: Friday 30th April.
Cost: $25

There are a few spots available on both sessions.
If you want the evening session please be quick.
Hope you all like it.
Would love to hear your thoughts.

Boys Cards

Hi Everyone, been busy making a couple of cards. So I have put the pictures up for you with instructions. I have used my favorite Tim Holtz inks and bazzill. I have made these cards as I have a 40th birthday to go to this weekend and needed a card. I plan on adding a clear '40' to the top right of the card with the tools on it. Just have to use your imagination on that one.
Both cards are using the same principal but just different sizes and stamps. Easy enough to adapt to any theme and colour scheme.
I hope you enjoy making these cards.
If you have any questions or need to order any of the products please let me know.



For this card I used Parakeet Bazzill (4222) for the base card 9"x5". Score and fold at 4.5".
Pinecone Bazzill (4223) 4"x3 3/4"
Parakeet 4"x 1/2"
Oatmeal (9690) cardstock A5 4"x1 1/2"
and 1/2"x2"
Distress all edges of card with Walnut Stain Distress Ink (tim19534) and a sponge.
Stamp the Soccer (998LH) stamp in Peeled Paint Distress Ink (tim20233) over entire background of the parakeet.
Stamp the soccer stamp on the oatmeal card stock with the Walnut Stain.
Stamp "your the best" stamp from the mini messages friends (4260KK). Use a black gel pen to doodle the dots. The whole card is put together with 6mm supertape (1708). Basically I like to use super tape for most things because it is strong, no mess or drying time and simple to use.
Assemble the card as per the example.



This card uses Vintage Photo Distress Ink (tim19527), Parakeet Bazzill (4222), Nutmeg Bazzill (4462) and Lemonade Bazzill (4501), Tool boarder unmounted stamp (1700LH) and the 'happy birthday' from the mini messages friends (4260KK).

I hope you enjoy making these cards, I know I did!

Garden Whimsey

I had a customer ask me about one of our workshops 2H333 Bella Whimsical Tree and Card.

While she liked the page didn't want to do the card. She wanted a double page.
So I sat down last night and re did the page and instead of the flourish sticky bling I used the Friends sticky bling.
I also changed a couple of aspects of the pages.
I have not used the orchid pastel ink and kept it simple with just the dark brown fluid chalk. I felt the orchid pastel was not a particularly good mix of colours for the page and looked a little out of place.
I opted out for the spots on the back ground of the mats for simple white bazzill with ink distressed mats in the dark brown fluid chalk ink.
I cut out the left over flowers to add to the page and to balance out the 'friends' sticky bling I placed 3 rhinestones on the opposite page.
I will teach this as a class at some stage.
With the sticky bling this is a $30 page.

My Hearts a Flourish

This is a fun and relaxing page to do. It is designed to suit most themes and you can change the stamp to suit yourself.
This a a page with minimal stamping, and the tiniest bit of heat embossing, because I can't help myself.
Lots of punching, which is not stressful and lots of fun.
This is being submitted to Kaszazz. I will be teaching it as a Friday End Of Month Class.
This is a $25 workshop.
Bookings will be essential for this work shop as I will need to order in the supplies.
