We Have Moved!!

For those who are still following this blog, I applaud you!! Considering I havent been here for a looooong time, I am amazed at your comittment to me!!

With this in mind, I will award you with soooo many new things, so please come over and check out at Scrapbooking Melbourne Page.  Please note, if for any reason you are looking for me, my profile page, the URL has been set at JoWeedonMelbourne and this causes much confusion...

To view the most current catalogue, have a look here: 2011-2012 Stampin' Up! Catalogue and I will be happy to help you with any questions and/or orders you may have :)

Thankyou once again for following me and challenging me to give you more ideas and treats. Come on over to my new page now...there is lots to see!!

Same But Different!

I saw this layout in Impressions, the newsletter Stampin' Up! Demonstrators receive each quarter. It is only recently that I am challenging myself to do something with what I read from it.

When I saw this layout, I liked LOVED it! Those of you who know me, realise that I need lots of colour and 'wow' on my pages, I struggle with pretty and quiet....

So having said all that, I almost completely copied  this page. I changed a couple of items simply because I don't have the stamp set or embellishments used, but I think mine still works!

Inks: Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie and Pear Pizazz.
Cardstock:  Daffodil Delight, Whisper White and Pumpkin Pie
Stamp Sets:Every Moment.
Accessories: Aqua Painter, Adhesives, Dimensionals, Rhinestone Brads, Big Shot, Top Note Cutting Die.

Well once I got the Scrappin' bug again, (It's taken me since Friday to get to the table and now it's late on Sunday..) I decided to also make a page with a different theme. I often have customers say that they either get stuck on new ideas to re-vamp a page or can't work out how to change it for the other gender for a family member..

So, here is another page, same layout almost, but different.
All I changed is the Designer Paper to Blueberry Crisp, therefore all the colours are already co-ordinated, Stampin' Up! are well known for that...too easy really!

Inks: Pacific Point andNot Quite Navy.
Cardstock: Pacific Point, Whisper White and Not Quite Navy with Blueberry Crisp DSP.
Stamp sets: Party Hearty  and So Happy For You.
Accessories: Aqua Painter, Adhesives, Dimensionals, Rhinestone Brads,  Big Shot, Top Note Cutting Die.

So I am off now, to think of more layouts...I pulled about 6 other photos while hunting for these, hopefully I will be as successful with those!

Thanks for looking, please share my ideas with friends and contact me if there is anything I can help you with in the world of scrappin' or card making...

Fundraising for Sarah Jane

Once again, Stampin' Up! are supporting the local community by providing another box of amazing goodies for Sj's Fundraising Market Day. Today I have been put my head down and bum up to begin making more wonderfull things to sell at the Market Day, in order to support SJ, her family and school.

Sj is the little girl in the photo, on the link and she has cerebral palsy, autism and an intellectual disability as well as scoliosis and hip displaysia.

Despite from all that, her smile is a beautiful one!

With her in my mind, I began today by making this:

A box that has its own 'wow' factor!

This is made with the Blueberry Crisp DSP and I am stunned with the result. I love how it came together!

It is made from one peice of Kraft 12 X 12 cardstock, 8 pieces of matching cardstock, DSP and embellishments. (Easy peasy, as a friend says!)

The gorgeous Rhinestones finishes it off with a bit of sparkle..

When the lid is open, it will reveal the internal box and a gift for that special person!

I also made another one from the Greenhouse Gala DSP but I think this one is my fav..what do you think?





 
 
 
 
Please contact me if this is something you would like to learn how to make. I can show you and your friends how to make such a beautiful box, you may never need to buy standard wrapping paper ever again!!
 
Now - onto the next gorgeous item to make to help SJ...
 
See you next time!

Clean & Simple Stamping..

Here is a card I made after looking around for cards to case..Im trying to get ready for Mother's Day, but I left my MoJo in the Grand Canyon I think...any way, Mel Sharp gave me the details for Clean & Simple where sketches are put up and you are challenged to make something from it.

It is a great way to get you moving and thinking...and more importantly, stampin!!!!!

I have used the Cottage Garden DSP from the 08-09 mini, the Manhatten embossing folder and Afterthoughts stamp set, a hostess gift. 

Thanks for looking!

Up, Up and Away!!

Did you miss me? I have been lucky enough to be jet setting with my family for my Sister's wedding in Las Vegas!  We travelled for a few weeks, visiting Los Angeles, Anaheim Disneyland and then onto Las Vegas for Brooke and Mark's Wedding, which was simple, but beautiful!

We also went to The Grand Canyon, which cannot be truly explained or fairly described...but you can see the photo of me on the edge of it here...aghghghg!!

Then we went onto San Francisco, which is completely another world again. I now have so many photos to scrap, you will be the lucky ones to see them first...after I unpack and put the house back into order, of course!

So stay tuned so you can share my adventure with you..
