Whats happening

Well I have been to SIA, I must say its a busy 2 days crammed with lots of new things, my heads just buzzing. I am a convert to Copic Markers, I thoroughly enjoyed a class with Mandi - Lee Klinger she is just an amazing teacher she really makes using the copic markers sooooooo easy. I can see another obsession coming on. LOL

Wendy Senger was amazing she is so passionate about Tattered Angels and Glimmer mist and while I have always loved using these products I feel inspired to use them in more of my projects, I also cant wait for Glimmer Glaze and Glimmer Glam to hit our shores. I met Heidi Swapp and some really nice people from Prima and I fell in love with Darkroom Door Stamps allover again, Rachel Grieg has some wonderful new products she is adding to her range and I cant wait to play around with these, oh and did i mention that I spent way too much on new stamps, I guess I am going to be chained to my desk for months to come.

I have some exciting projects that I am about to start, but you will just have to wait to see them in the coming weeks as I create them. I am really excited about my biggest project ever that I am about to undertake, but I really need to win an ebay auction tomorrow to get started, watch this space and I will tell you more as I start to create.

I am on the way to mastering Windows 7........yay so i hope to be updating more often to the blog.

Bye for now

I thought I would try some crepe paper on this layout, I have been following Heidi Swapp and Rhonner Farrer and they have been playing with coffee filters and crepe paper which I found really inspiring. I was really happy with the way it pleated and was easy to stick down, I will definately be using this technique again.

I really dont like cutting photos down the middle, I would rather try to fit them onto one page but with this layout I could only fit the photos by strategically placing them so that the cut wasn't through the centre of Juliets face.

Happy Scrapping everyone, I hope you are all being very productive now that the nights are getting cooler, its definately scrapping weather.

Some coffee filter and patty case flowers I made with glimmer mist.

After planning to enter a layout in the Easter Show for the last 2 years I finally got around to it this year, My layout "Foster @ Family.com.au" was awarded first prize......WOOOO HOOOOOO it was very exciting to get a blue ribbon and a cheque for $50. I cant believe the amount of people who actually saw the layout and have acknowledged my win.....Thank you to all.


Congratulations to all the other winners as well, all the layouts were very inspiring. What a wonderful craft we are involved in, a craft were we get to record our memories, tell our story, to leave a lasting imprint for our future generations. This craft called scrapbooking is such a wonderful legacy not to mention the many wonderful friendships I have made with ladies I will call my friends forever. It would be wonderful to see many more entries, so that we can show those that dont scrapbook what they are missing out on. So if you are thinking about entering next year then check out the RAS website for entry dates http://www.rasnsw.com.au/


I am off to finish my SIA projects so will catch you all later.
