Video - Envelope Mini Album

You saw this mini album a couple of weeks ago. I made a video to go with it, but have been having trouble editing & I finally got it sorted :o)

Most of the products in this video are on the Last Chance List...one of my favourite stamp sets, Playful Petals is 25% off & running low on stock, so if you love it like I do, you'd better grab it before it's gone for good!

The Pink Flamingo Designer Series paper is 50% off - what a bargain! I love this paper - so happy & girly but also quite tropical  & fun with the island flower print...it so brings back memories of the '80's when we went on a family holiday up to Hamilton Island (we lived on the Gold Coast at the time) & my sister was a bit of a tomboy & was desperate for a pair of Okanui board shorts...I can't help but smile when I look at these papers..and then frown when I realise how long ago the '80s were LOL!

Nursery Necessities, Frames with a Flourish & Life Definitions are also on the Last Chance List...with Nursery Necessities running low...I'll be hanging on to this set for a while I think, it's just so handy for baby cards & gifts.

Don't forget you only have until 31st of August to get your orders in...and you don't want to leave it til the last minute!

So, click here to place an order today.

You can also email or phone your order through on (09) 265 0555.

Introducing Stampin' Up! Clear Mount Stamps

In the Autumn/Winter Mini Catalogue Stampin' Up! has released clear mount stamps - not ot be confused with clear stamps :o)

Clear mount stamps are made of the same top quality red rubber as the wood mount stamps - so that you continue to get great impressions, but the clear mount stamps take up much less storage space, make it easy to see where you're stamping & are even cheaper...check it out!

If you'd like to give the stamps a try, come along to the Cocktails & Craft night on Thursday April 22nd at 7pm.

Email me to reserve your seat.

Valentine's Treats

Well I was a lucky lady this morning..I woke up to find some beautiful flowers awaiting me:

We'd usually go out to breakfast on Valentine's Day - but seeing as Taigy is away this weekend, we're going to have Eggs Benedict for dinner when she gets home :o)

Wayno just got a bottle of wine, a card & a little hand made gift box (which was) full of kisses - and there's a card for Ravey & Taigy too - so we're all happy.

Here's the box of kisses:

And a video on how to make it :o)

Printing Multi Photos at Harvey Norman or Norman Ross

I've got a quick video to share with you for the weekend...it's on how I get my photos printed at different sizes.

I moved away from printing at home because I wasn't getting the quality I wanted for my pages, but I missed being able to print at different sizes - because most of my shots filled the frame, so there was no room for croping to get a smaller pic.

On another note, I'm a matte girl all the way - I know its a divided field, but when it comes to fingerprints on photos, you can't beat a matte finish!

What do you think of this tip? Let me know in the comments section.

I hope you're having a great weekend - the weather is fabulous here!
