Get your free stamps before 31st March!


There's only a few days to go for you to get your FREE set of stamps with a $100 order from the main or mini catalogue. Why not combine the order with friends or family to make up the $100. You can choose any of the 4 stamp sets: Bliss, So Happy For You, Punch Bunch or Sweet Summer. I have been getting lots of use from Bliss (you know how I love butterflies!) and the Vintage look is very pretty. These are top quality wood block stamp sets worth at least $35 so its a pretty great deal, only available until 31st March.  





The Summer Mini will also expire on the 31st March so take a good look if anything takes your fancy, as there's no guarantee these products will return! For these cards I have used my new favourite greeting stamps Well Scripted from the Summer Mini. I think I'll get lots of use out of this set over the next few months with its Happy Easter and Wonderful Mother stamp and I love the pretty flowing font.


Hello to the ladies that joined me for my workshop on Sunday - it was such a buzz of activity and some stunning cards and pages were accomplished! The Big Shot was a hit and I look forward to sharing some of their creations on this blog.

I will be placing this final Saleabration order on Thursday night at 7pm so please drop me an email or call me on 9684 6443 (night) or 0408472510 (day).

Look forward to sharing some lovely new goodies with you soon as there is a new Autumn Winter Mini catalogue released on April 1. Contact me for your free copy. Hope you get some crafty time soon and enjoy this beautiful time of year!

take care

Love Defined Ruby Wedding Anniversary


In February my parents Rob and Rhonda celebrated 40 years of marriage, which is certainly an achievement to be very proud of. They took a holiday to the Gold Coast and Mum was the lucky recipient of a Ruby ring! When they arrived home we had a small family dinner and I gave them this card and a Ruby Red photo album filled with happy family memories. 

Card recipe
Stamps: Love Defined (from the Summer catalogue which closes on the 31st March), Artistic Etchings
Card: Cherry Cobbler, Very Vanilla
Inks: Cherry Cobbler, Riding Hood Red, Rose Red sponged on with dauber to create a mottled effect
Markers: Early Espresso for branch
Accessories:  Tope Note Die and Big Shot, Vintage Brad, Cherry Cobbler Wide Striped Ribbon, black stickers from my stash

In these uncertain days we need to cherish those we love and feel gratitude for all the goodness in our lives. I hope your day is filled with goodness and gratitude!

Take care
