New storage!!!!

Pin It

My collection of stamp sets has slowly been growing and my piles have been getting higher and wobblier!
I don't really have the best space available to put them and I've finally had enough of the messiness (see pic below).


I've been look around for some new storage and I saw this on ebay that I thought would be just perfect!! How cute would this be painted white!!! But I think it's going to sell for quite a pretty penny.


So Mum got me thinking that there may be something else out there that would be suitable. So we took a trip to Ikea today to see what they might have that would work.
I'm so glad we did because we found a very cute white stand that is just perfect!!!

We spent the afternoon putting it together and arranging all my stamp sets on it.

So what do you think??

I think it looks much neater!!!
Now to find some time to make some cards :)

Credit where credit is due!!!!

You all remember the card I made here as a thank you card for my lost package. Well I also made one very similar to give to my BFF and I totally forgot to give Adele and Lisa credit for it!!!

We made a very similar card at their catty launch party a few months back now. It was their card that gave me inspiration to make the others.

They are both great creators and Adele just got Top Pick at Just Add Ink this week - so pop over to their blog and check it out.

Thanks Adele and Lisa for giving me such wonderful inspiration!!!

Hugs and Kisses to you both

Kiki Cupcake

Pin It

I've had a little quick play with some of my new things and came up with this little cutie!!!
I just adore this little cupcake Kiki from C.C.Designs , isn't she just the sweetest?

I'm a huge fan of pink and chocolate together!

It was nice to make this card, no sketch or colour challenge - I just did what ever I felt like!!!!!!
I really like challenges as sometimes I feel swamped for choice so they help give me direction but it's also nice to let your mind wander.

Do you enjoy challenges or do you like to make cards with your own inspiration????




I've used:
Paper -Very Vanilla, Pink Pirouette and Chocolate Chip DSP
Ink - Copics
Stamp Set - Kiki Cupcake
Other: Glitter, Pearl, Buttons, Twine and Nestablilities

Order from America

Pin It

I've been waiting for a little while for a big package of things to arrive from America. I ordered a few things since the Australian dollar is doing so well. It arrived while I was away so it was like Christmas when I got home!!!

I got a new tool caddy from Amy Butler, goodies from Paper Tray Ink and C.C.Designs - can't wait to start using it all :)



Sorry this picture is poor quality but I was in such a rush to unpack it all I all most forgot to even take a snap.

I hope you have all had a lovely Monday.

Lost Package

Pin It

Last week my BFF sent me a HUGE parcel of Stampin UP! things, I was soooooooooo excitied to be getting a whole stack of new products.

But it wasn't delivered on the day it was suppose to be, nor the next....... we were both worried.
We contacted postal service several times to find out where the package had been delievered, but to no avail.

My heart was broken, no new products and several hundereds of dollars down the drain. It was now 5 days after it was to be delivered so I had come to the conclusion that I would never see it.

That is until a WONDERFUL person from 2 streets over knocked on my door - package in hand!!!
Apparently it had been delievered to her house by mistake. I was OVER THE MOON!!!!

So I decided to make her a little Thank You card and pop it over to her house with a bottle of champers.

Here is what I made.


It's not often you find honest people like that these days and I am so grateful that there are.
So again a big THANK YOU to this amazing lady.


ps I'm headding down to Canberra to see my BFF this week, which I'm totally excitied about!!
Unfortunately I have to do some work for my day job while I'm there too and that means no crafting for nearly a week!!!!
