Hi, welcome to January 2010, a new year, a new fresh start and we starting off the year with a bang!! I have uploaded 14 fantastic new designs on our website..I just love them, have been trying to do hearts for ages and now we have made a start. Can't wait to start playing with these, they are great for scrapbooking pages, card making and off the page.
More cards as promised. These two great cards are from Judy in Sydney. She loved the sleighs when she first saw and went home and cam up with this great idea. Our sleighs have been highlighted with gelly roll glitter pens and snow has been added to the base. The presents are leftover stickers and recycled old cards, they look great filling up the sleigh. The scrapmatts words have also been highlighted with gelly roll pens and then glossed with dimensional magic. Can't wait to see what Judy comes up with next!!
This fantastic card was done by Vicki, from Sydney. She has used 4 trees and offset them on top of each other, very clever. Vicki has used the Gelly Roll Glitter Pens to colour in the trees. Vicki's top matt has been embossed on the cuttlebug machine, to give texture to the trees. Well done, I am always impressed what these ladies can do. More cards to come from our ever clever and creative ladies.
Exciting new Lamp Posts designs have just been uploaded to our website. Just perfect for all those photos of a European Holiday or on a card with flowers and vines twisted around them. These are great for vintage photos and designs. Am feeling generous and I will be begin lots of give aways for the coming year..so stay tuned.
Well hasn't this year gone so quickly. Christmas is so near and there is still lots to do. Here are pictures of our new Christmas sleighs, they come in 2 sizes and a variety of colours. I have embellished them with Gelly Roll Pens and on the picture on the right tow of our new words 'peace' and 'believe' have been added on, how cute do they look. Don't know if you can see the one in raw, I have cross-hatched gold lines in the Metallic Gold Pen, click on it for a larger view.
WOW, just had to share. Shirley T. bought these at a recent Paperific Show in Melbourne, Shirley has used one of our frames, flourishes and butterflies and has cleverly coloured them in using the Sakura Gelly Roll Stardust Pens, which give a great glitter finish.
Shirley also wrote to me and said..''I'm totally in love with your new chipboard range..including the Sakura gelly roll markers, I've created htis fantastic layout using both products and couldn't be happier with the results.
Thanx so much for having such amazing products at even more amazing prices...Hope you like my work'.
I love your work Shirley, hope the magazine publishes your work..
These 2 fantastic layouts have been sent to me by Marion M from Victoria, they are just great. The word 'racing' has been done in counted cross stitch, very creative Marion, I just had to share with everyone. We have just returned from Paperific in Melbourne, last show for the year, now we start planning new designs and working out the show schedule for next year.
