Hoohoo! Lots of owls today!!

Hi Everyone,

Yesterday I decided I'd better make some cards with the critters, owls and butterflies I've been making lately.

So here's a sample of some of the clean and simple owl cards I made yesterday:

Ooops didn't realise I was holding the camera so crooked  for this shot!

Be back tomorrow with some more critter cards :)

Look what the kids made!!

Hi Everyone,


Last week was my first ever kids class!! And it was so much fun!! 


This is my version of what the kids got to make... 

They were able to choose what colours they used and the sentiment... Silly me didn't think to take some pics but never mind, the kids did a fabulous job and I hope to arrange another kids' class soon!


If you have some kiddies at home or a party coming up, I would love to come and share some of my "tricks of the trade" with them, please email me for more info.

Testing out the owl punch

Hi Everyone,


I was going to entertain (maybe bore would be a better description) you with a run down of the last few days have been like here,  but maybe I'll summarise it for you:
Saturday = Craft Thyme - cold but very successful! Andrea and I had a fab day and met some wonderful people! But it was really cold!!!
Sunday = sleep in!!! till 10.15!!!! WOW!! bit of sunshine
Monday = 1st day of school hols for us in WA.... wet and cold!!... housework :(
Tuesday = day with Mum and took the girls to see about 10 piglets and 5 kangaroos that some long long long time family friends have at their place at the moment... The piglets were so funny running around playing, and snuffling for whatever they were looking for in the dirt - apparently earthworms are tasty...




Onto the real reason why you visit my blog... This is a birthday card I made last week and I'm fairly sure it was one of the first cards to find a new home.... 

Not bad for only using 1 stamp hey!! I also tracked some some thin cork to use in my owl punch... I made a stack of little owls all dressed up and at the moment, they have no place to go.... Watch out for them over the coming week :)




I also want to mention a charity auction one of my friends is arranging... Please check out the Bears of Hope Charity Auction - In Memory of Ruby x being co-ordinated by Pretty Little Things. I've donated a notebook and will be adding a few more by the wkend.


Well, that's it from me tonight here, I'm going to move one sleeping bub into her bed from the floor and the other from my bed into her own bed.... We are having fun and games with sleeping again at the moment (if anyone has any suggestions, please feel free to add them into your comment & let me know!).

My funky owl card

Hi Everyone,

Have I happened to mention how much I am lurving my owl punch!! I combined the owl from the Sale-a-bration "Punch Bunch" stamp set with 3 different circles punches and created this card...

The sentiment is from the "On your birthday" set and the polka dot ribbon was from one of last year's mini catties.

So I challenge you to make a card like this! It's super easy to case my design and it will work with so many stamps, you don't have to own the owl! However, if you place an order for $100 or more, you can receive your very own owl stamp! Remember to order your owl punch for $33.95 too :)

Thanks for looking,

Hoot Hoot!

Hi Everyone,

Another card I've made is this cutie with the owl punch and owl stamp from the Sale-a-bration "Punch Bunch" set:

Great way to use up some scrap card too!! Something I have an excess of! The branch is from the bird punch and the sentiment is from the "On your birthday" stamp set.

And don't forget, the Sale-a-bration and Summer Mini Catalogues finish on 31st March!! That's this coming Thursday (how quickly is the year flying past already).

Making notepads...

Hi Everyone,

I love multi-tasking! Lately it's been a bit quieter at night with Miss 4 working out that she can go to bed without calling out for up to 2hrs. This has meant I still can't go into my craft room at night however, I've been crafting in front the telly instead.

So I've been catching up on my shows (mainly NCIS, NCIS Los Angeles, Burn Notice, and The Good Wife) and relaxing.... I even manage to watch a bit of Macgyver with the hubby so that's earning some brownie points lol :)

And the other thing I'm loving is my owl punch! I've given it a good workout on these notepads!!

These will be on sale at the Craft Thyme Fair on Saturday 19th March, if not sold prior. Although if you really love one, I'm sure I can reproduce it for you...

Take care & enjoy your wkend! I'm off to finish packing for tonight's card making class.
