So where's the cards Heather?? lol First up..... I'm so pleased with the way this card turned out, you'd think the background pattern is a Designer Series Paper wouldn't you?,  but No! it's stamped using the Verdant Garden Stamp set , lined up (quite easily) on the Stamparatus  (how cool!!)  I do love green colours Next up is this card, Ive been so keen to use this new stamp set and dies Tasteful Textures Stamp set , although the dies don't feature on this card (just wait a mo) I do love the fact the saying just fits into the Pretty Label Punch and oh my goodness the ribbon is so beautiful!! it's called Rococo Rose gathered ribbon .  I also think the Detailed trio punch works beautifully

I'll show you a little snippet...  Anyway that's not what I'm here for today, I'm here to show you how to put together your "tag" card, the tag is what I send you/ give you on your bag when you receive your order, then I pop in some other bits to make it into a card. So..... here is the tag you'll be receiving: And here is the end card The tag is cut out of the card to begin with, and the Stitched Rectangle Dies are fabulous in that they give you the stitched look on the outside and the inside (gotta love that) and there's heaps of them in the pack - well 13 seems like heaps! lol Anyway moving on... I have then stuck in another sheet of white behind the

Hi Creators, Well it's all over red rover for another year!  but I thought I'd share a few of my photos with you.  I was blessed to have Rosalie (with me for the whole show) then Renee on Friday, Cindy on Saturday and Rose on Sunday.  Thank you to all of you I certainly couldn't do the show without you! Also thank you to all of you who came and said Hi, entered our door prize, (which was won by Christine from Heathcote), and joined us for classes and chats.  I always find it so special getting to connect with so many different people with interesting stories and ideas. Here we go with the photos.....  Rosalie, Renee and I set up on the Wednesday (Yes, it went for 4 days this year Thursday to Sunday, and looks like they're going for the same again next year!)   So here is the stand looking relatively pristine before the crowds lol then with some of the crowds......

Hi there Creators, Well officially we'll be into the new Annual Catalogue, so I can finally start using some of my new goodies! lol, so guess what?.... Card 1: New colours and new stamp set (what a combination!!) this set is called Daisy Lane, although I keep thinking Penny Lane (umm Beetles keep coming back lol), so I'm introducing the new colours Terracotta Tile, Seaside Spray and Pretty Peacock in this card (nice aren't they?)  and yes I spy a new ribbon too (eek so exciting)  Conveniently enough this stamp set happens to coordinate with a punch I already have (yay), the Daisy Punch, but wait there's another punch coming for the smaller daisy too (can't wait to get that one too!)  Have to admit this next set wasn't my favourite... till I started playing around with the dies, Ohhh, I'll just leave my comment at that! lol  the stamp set is called "It starts with Art" and the dies are called Arts and Crafts dies Oh and it comes as a bundle y
