Time Flies!!!

I can’t believe it has been a year and a half since my last blog entry!!! In that time, I’ve moved twice, my eldest has started school (now in year 1) and my youngest is walking/running and talking! I think I keep expecting (or hoping) that life will settle down just enough for me to do my own thing now and then. I’m starting to recognise and acknowledge how delusional that is!!! I have two kids, a husband, church and work and I live in 2012, life is not going to settle down! And even when there are moments of being less busy, generally I’ll be too exhausted to do anything creative!

Okay, enough talk! I do actually have something to show you!!!

I made this chest of drawers for a dear friend (my upline Kirrily) and filled it with choccies and Stampin’ Up! goodies! It is actually a Christmas present, although we still haven’t exchanged gifts yet!!!!!! Hopefully, she won’t check my blog!

I found a tutorial on Splitcoaststampers for a single drawer, so I made that four times and stuck them together with sticky strip. I covered the joins and the drawer fronts, as well as the top with some Paisley Petals dsp (pg 128 of IBC). I then made two more drawers (in mini size) for the top and two ovals for the mirror. I used antique brads (pg 142 of IBC) for the drawer handles. I was really happy with how it turned out!

Another dear friend, Meighan, has inspired me to try some challenges to help get the creative juices flowing, so hopefully I’ll be back soon with another creation!

I hope you all have a lovely Easter!

Calm the Crying

I made this book for a friend's baby shower. Inside is Pinky McKay's 100 ways to calm the crying baby. I used Outline Alphabet and designer series paper to make the title and Circle Circus to decorate the inside. My friend was having her shower in Sydney but lives in Queensland and said not to bring presents, so this was a good way to still give her a present. Plus, she had something to read on the plane!

Engagement Card and Present

Here is the card I made for our friends' engagement recently. The base card is Kraft stamped with Versamark and the Baroque Motifs swirl image as well as a Chit Chat rub-on. The DSP is Bella Bleu and the silver cord is retired SU product. Quite a simple card but it looks elegant (in my opinion anyway).

I'm sorry that this is on the side but I'm having technical difficulties since we got our new computer. This is the candle I decorated for our friends, I used the Together Forever stamp set, the retired silver cord and some beads from the Pretties Kit.

Stationary Box No. 2

I've made this stationary box using the Petals & Paisley DSP which has been retired and discounted by 25%, so grab a pack today for just $8.96 before it disappears!

Here are some of the cards and the tags I made for the box. I've decorated the inside flap of the envelopes with DSP too.

And here are the Love notes with decorated envelopes;

Don't forget the stamp sets that coordinate with this paper are also retiring (Polka Dots & Paisley and Polka Dots & Petals, plus the jumbo wheel Petals), so get in quick if these are on your wishlist!

Stationary Box and First Blog Candy!

I made this stationary box for our new minister and his wife as part of their welcome hamper. I hope they liked it! I've used the Ginger Blossom DSP from the Summer Mini and coordinating cardstock. The River Rock cardstock is textured, which I think really adds something. I did try to add DSP inside the pen but it just didn't want to play nicely and I had a deadline, so imagine it with the extra DSP.

Here's a small selection of the standard sized cards I made;

And here's some of the love notes;

And finally, here's the tags;

I've used the Embrace Life stamp set (Summer Mini) which coordinates with the DSP. I used So Many Sayings (Hostess set) and Short and Sweet for the sentiments (two absolute must have sets!), I've also used the Live Your Dream stamp set (Summer Mini). I will send a little something to the person that can tell me where I've used the Live Your Dream stamp set! My first blog candy! Good luck!

Dream Afternoon Tea

This is a little note card wallet I made at the Stampin' Up! regional training last year. Isn't it just beautiful?! I'm so glad I can finally share it with you, since the stamp set (Live Your Dream) and the DSP (Afternoon Tea) are from the Summer Mini. I have a few more little things made at regionals that match these, which I'll post it the future (hopefully not too long).

Stamps: Live Your Dream
Cardstock: Whisper White love notes, Chocolate Chip, Soft Sky, Groovy Guava, Wild Wasabi
Accessories: Afternoon Tea DSP, Chocolate Chip taffeta ribbon, round metal edge tags, circle and square punches

Hope to be back soon with more creations for you!

My Album

I made this album at a team meeting last month from scratch! I'm really quite impressed with myself! I've used Outlaw Designer Series paper to cover it and the Natural Beauty stamp set to embellish it. I stamped the images in Stazon ink onto vellum and them coloured the back side with Watercolour crayons in the colours to match the DSP. The ribbon is Chocolate Chip taffeta and I've used some Hodgepodge Hardware too!

These albums would make great Christmas or birthday gifts for family or friends (or even just for you)!

If you would like to make your own album, please email me and we'll arrange a time for me to come round and teach you (and some friends if you like)!

Project: Organise

Here's a project I've been working on for a few weeks now, it was a lot harder than I anticipated I have to say! I got the idea from Kirrily's tutorial and I suggest you go there for clear, concise instructions. The only extra tip I would add is not to use newspaper to sit the pieces on to dry, it tends to stick, some kind of hard plastic surface would probably be better. The actual organiser itself is by Kaiser and comes in seperate pieces for you to decorate and put together. (I got mine at the craft show in Sydney a couple of months ago but I have seen them in Spotlight and other craft stores too.

Before this organiser all my regularly used tools just kind of sat on a shelf in my cupboard, meaning I had to keep going back to find the things I needed (very frustrating!), so hopefully this will help a lot! I've used the Loves Me paper from the 2007 Summer mini but you could use any designer series paper. Please do check out Kirrily's, she has a much tidier finish than mine! Unfortunately, mine has ended up a bit rough looking (especially with the newspaper print on some of the pieces!)

The ribbon section is great for ribbon not on rolls, I've got some Taffeta ribbon and Double-Stitched ribbon in mine. The bigger holes are great for pens, pencils, markers, scissors, aguapainter and blender pens. The other sections are perfect for all the other tools and bits and pieces! I hope this inspires you! Show me pics of your own if you do make one!

Wild Little Gifts

I made these little gift containers (sour cream/sunny boy containers) for a workshop a few weeks ago. Marelle has a fantastic tutorial for how to put them together, here. These little containers are great for chocolates, lollies or even jewellery. For these two I've used the Wild About You stamp set (pg 66), this set is really good for children and babies (and big kids too!). You can use the images on their own (as I have done for the Tempting Turquoise one), or you can group them together (as I've done for the Whisper White one).

Once I stamped the cardstock and a scrap piece for the tag, and assembled the container (following Marelle's instructions), I punched out the tag (using the tag punch, pg 142) and attached it to the containers in two different ways. For the Tempting Turquoise one, I've punched a slit in the the top of the tag (using the double rectangle punch, pg 142) and threaded a small piece of Tempting Turquoise grosgrain ribbon through the slit. Finally, I secured this with a staple (only use this method if you have already put your gift in the container!). For the second one, I've used some of the Hodgepodge Hardware (pg 144) to secure the tag and the end of the container.

Have fun with these easy little gift containers! You can personalise them with any of the stamp sets, wheels or even designer series paper!
