Christmas Catch Up


Well - I certainly have been busy it has been crazy! Being a new Mum and then returning to work full time has limited my craft time to nearly none apart from producing cards for class.....here are a few I have done over the last few months....

Webster's papers and Stampin Up Stamps

Kaiser Craft papers and Rachel Grieg Stamps



Darkroom Door and Tim Holtz stamps

Watercolour


Using up scrap paper!


Wishing you all a beautiful , wonderful and safe festive season!

Watercolouring with Distress Inks

Hi Everyone. Once again I have been playing with my Distress Inks and I gave watercolouring with them a go. O my gosh! They are beautiful to watercolour with. Here is a class I will be doing with them next Thursday night.



I have used new Basci Grey papers and Sarah Kay stamps.....love how they have turned out.

Ebay and Stampin Stuff

Wow - an update for you all. Look at this pic below! OMG - I am hooked on Ebay! And also this little website called Stampin Stuff. Also all the flowers are from a shop in the UK. Aren't they beautiful?! The stamp sets are Tim Holtz which I am a little hooked on at the moment along with all of his embellishments which I got from Amy at www.stampinstuff.com.au

Inspiration

Sometimes you jump on someone's blog and it inspires you to create something beautiful. I found this blog a couple of days ago http://floliescrap.over-blog.com/ and Flo's cute little cart with the umbrella inspired me to make this card. I love it and thanks Flo for a beautiful blog!





I also learnt how to make beautiful flowers the other day too - doilies and tissue paper and Smooch Spritzers. Thanks to You Tube! :)


Hope you like!

Webster's Pages

The shop has just got in some new Webster Pages. They are absolutly beautiful. Being a card maker it is really hard to use these pages on cards without taking away from the paper so I decided to do a scrap page. Getting inspirationfrom the Webster Pages site - http://websterspages.ning.com and now that I have a beautiful subject to scrap - this is what I came up with.

Hope you like!


Must go off and do another now! :)
Cheers, Claire

Baby...!

Wow - so sorry it has been so long! So much has happened since I blogged last and so many cards have been made since too!


Firstly - great news is that I am now the proud mother of a beautiful baby girl - Ella Rose. Ella was born on 28 January.





It has been a busy and hectic month adjusting to not working, being a mum and being on demand 24/7 and also fitting in craft! But I wouldn't change anything. She is just adorable - I am so in love!

In regards to craft - I am back teaching tonight.

Next weeks cards are below. Reminder if you want to come you will need to book - http://www.craftalot.com.au/







These cards are using Ippity Stamps that can only be bought at Craft-A-Lot and only if you participate in this class. The stamps are beautiful.

Hope you like!
