Hello again!

It's been a while sorry, I've had computer issues. Yes computer issues not user issues! While I've been out of contact I've created a couple of new classes for September. The Leafy Wreath above and a Christmas Planner Diary, that can be reused every year!!! If you'd like to make either one check out http://www.scrapbookingbydesign.co.nz/ classes.

So strange to be thinking about Christmas already! My mate next door Emma got me thinking about the festive season when she showed me this awesome book she's just got called "Sew Green" by Betz White. Great ideas for "economical" (not cheap) Christmas Gifts! I've been looking at Betz White's blog and it's got so many cool ideas! Check it out! I'm in the process of making some cool felt creations, keep checking in to see them complete.

Here's what I've been up to this weekend. I created this layout using a flax mat, pohutakawa fabric and 3scrappers NZ paper. Quite simple but I think it'll look good on the wall in my house.

August ATC Dare

Lisa's Scrapbook Studio ATC Dare Theme is METAL! I was so excited and went through my stash to find everything metal. ATC's are so small, I tried really hard to fit everything on but alas I still have some bits and pieces left. You can make an ATC too and submit it on the Scrapbook Studio website to win a prize, coz we all love free stuff and can never have too many crafty supplies!

I grew a tree in a weekend!

I'm patting myself on the back after this creation (coz no one else will). In the weekend I made this TREE or Coat stand out of MDF. I had seen a flash designer one in a posh interior shop in town for $1200 so thought I'd put a Nickie twist on it and created my own unique one! Way cheaper too!

Scrap surfing

I've been surfing the internet tonight, looking for ideas. I found some cool blogs to follow. I'm loving fabric on my layouts at the moment so loved http://www.melnunn.typepad.com/. Also thought my crafty mate Emma would like http://www.thejanellewindcollection.typepad.com/, very funky and inspirational, I must sharpen up my sewing skills.
