Congratulations Card

Hi everyone, Don't you just love it when hubby asks you to make a special card for a work college and you ask when would you like that? Oh tomorrow would be nice!! Arrr.... okay darling!! Geez if only I could whip up a card in 10 minutes (that's how long he thinks it takes) LOL. Anyway this is the card I managed to create in about an hour, I had lovely Prima products sitting on my craft desk (thanks Sherry) that I had left-over from cards I had previously made, so I grabbed a few things and played!! I hope you like it and so does the recipient, my hubby thanked me and was happily unaware of all the fuss!

Maybe I should ask if there are any other special request coming up so I can get a heads up! Happy creating! Jane

Darkroom Door set of cards

Hi everyone, I was very fortunate and honored to be asked by the owners of Darkroom Door to be the guest designer for February. I had so much fun creating all the cards, I especially enjoyed creating the aquarium scene using the accordion book with the tin box, I would change a few things looking at it now, but otherwise I'm still very happy with how it turned out. Here is the link to check out my creations! Darkroom Door Blog I also made a set of cards with Darkroom Door seaside filmstrips and wordstrips for 'Cardmaking, Stamping & Papercraft' Vol 18 No 2 on sale now!! Here is a link for that, CraftLovers. I created the background using embossing powders, foil and gauze, you will have to buy the mag for the instructions he he.

Thank you once again Darkroom Door, I loved using your stamps and creating with them, I have quite a collection now and of course you have just released more and I spotted a doily set!!! Off I go and shop!! Thanks for looking Cheers and happy stamping Jane

Closing shop and creating a studio!

Hi everyone,

As many of you may know I have closed my shop, small as it was I just couldn't manage that, my job at the magazine and the many classes I teach elsewhere. It was a hard decision but one that had to be made, I will cherish the many friendships that came about from having the shop and I know I will keep in touch with all the ladies!!

I have just started redecorating the double garage to make way for my Creative Studio!! YAY!! A place just for me to create, play and enjoy!!

This is a photo of a morning tea I had a few months ago, just to give you an idea of colours and interior of the shop! The ladies present are (starting from the left) Robby, Jo, Bev, Lenore and Julie.




I do hope my studio will still be a place of fun and lots of get togethers with craft minded people, I'm sure it will!!

Will keep you updated, back to the painting for me!!

Cheers

Hi everyone,

I thought I would give you the link to check out my first Design Team assignment for Pages2Scrap as I'm really excited about the cards and the great team I'm on. You can contact the shop and buy the supplies as they have them in a kit, but there isn't a lot left so be quick! I have just finished my second DT kit and I fell in love with it!!

Anyway... do yourself a favor and have a look! :-)
