This week we also restocked our Cuttlebug embossing folder range. Kathleen created this layout using white cardstock, the Cuttlebug and stamp pads. We often get asked for different ideas on how to use the Cuttlebug embossing folders on layouts and I thought this was a great way to use them!

I had my final operation on my broken ankle yesterday. The doctors removed a screw from my ankle and I am now allowed to walk. I took my first steps yesterday afternoon, if you could call them that! However, today I have managed to walk with my crutches and have not had to hop anywhere. Thankyou for all your well wishes! As Kathleen said in her weekly email this week - I will be back figure skating in no time ;)

Jilly GG and Ngaire Bartlam also create pieces of art and jewellery and sell it through their Etsy shop The Gradum Gypsies. I checked out Jilly's necklace yesterday and think I might have to get one for myself!

I created this layout last week with Rouge de Garance papers we have instore and I also made the flower embellishment with tissue paper and paint.

It is on Saturday 27th March at 10am and we will be making 30 cards in one class (yes that is not a typo - 30 cards!). The class is FREE! You will need to purchase the kit pictured below to come to the class. The kit includes papers, stamps and embellishments from the new Kaiser La Di Da range and it is just gorgeous!

For Today - Scrapbooking Inspiration

For Today: 28th February

(Inspired by a blog post of Ali Edwards that I just came across)

Outside my window... overcast sky, trees and butterflies

I am thinking... that I can not wait to walk again so that i can clean my house. I am also thinking that I can not believe that housework is near the top of my list of things to do once i can walk again... :)

I am thankful for... so many things that i can not possibly list them all here. However, at the moment i am most thankful for good friends and family who have spent the last three months selflessly looking after me. They have given up so much to do this and it will take me a long time to repay them for their kindness.

From the kitchen... not much! i can't really cook at the moment - it took me about forty minutes to boil eggs and make myself a curried egg sandwich due to the distance between my fridge, sink and benches (throwing eggs the length of my kitchen wouldn't be a good idea and i can't exactly carry them and use crutches at the same time so you can see my dilemma especially when you consider carrying other ingredients and utensils...) so, we are living on convenience foods at the moment. i am really looking forward to a proper homecooked meal and so is Eliahn!

I am wearing... my pj's.

I am creating... a layout for Wed night class and also card samples for a class we are having in March (30 cards in one class all made with the new Kaiser La Di Da range - nice!)

I am going... to rest all day and probably watch tv shows.

I am reading... blogs. I have run out of books to read :( Really need a new vampire book!

I am hoping... that my operation goes well.

I am hearing... the birds outside and the fan inside.

Around the house... it is quiet as i am the only one here - i like that!

One of my favourite things... rainy Sunday's at home with Eliahn (was hoping for that kind of weather today but it appears that the sun is trying to come out, oh well...)

A few plans for next week... creating, catching up with Nolene, hanging out with Kate and Eliahn, counting down to my operation - it's an exciting time around here lol!! Don't let me forget though - i am looking forward to Jilly GG's first classes at Inkredible next Saturday!

A picture to share... well, two actually. these are some ATC's i made for a swap last year and i just found the photos on my computer. these are the only ATC's i have ever made and i quite liked them. i used oil pastels and stamping after Nolene taught me some techniques in class.



I decided to share this blog post from Ali with you because i thought that it could be quite a useful tool for scrapbookers. Often we struggle with journaling and documenting our life stories. This shows you how easy it can be. Just answer some simple questions about what is happening in your life at the moment and scrapbook it. It's a glimpse into your everyday life - often we neglect to include these in our scrapbooks but i am so sure that our children would love to read these kinds of snippets of their lives and their parents lives.
Have a fabulous Sunday!

NEW Technique Boutique at Inkredible

One of my favourite products to use at the moment are the Papermania Brush Markers. I use them to colour stamps with and also to colour white cardstock. You can see an example of this in the card below. I have coloured the Stamp It stamp with a pen and I have also coloured some white card in the same colour pen. I love how they match. The sparkles around the edge of the pink card are Kindy glitz dots.

Thankyou to our customers who came to our VIP event yesterday. We hope you all had a lovely time and enjoyed making an Easter basket and card! Next month we are re-launching our VIP event with our all NEW Technique Boutique. Many of you have already booked in so it is shaping up to be a fantastic day! At this new VIP event you have the choice of participating in the cardmaking session or the scrapbooking session.
