Happy Scrapping

Wow, how did we get to be in Dec 2019?  This year has just flown.  My life got turned completely upside down since May this year when Michael and I decided we were moving to NSW to be closer to his family. After 4 years of running my Creative Memories workshops across Adelaide I have now passed them on to my trusty team to look after and here we are in Sydney.  It has taken a while to settle in as some of our things were still in storage for a while, but now that everything is here I can start the process of finding homes for all of our things and getting my new Scrapbook room properly sorted. I am so blessed with an amazing space to run my workshops from home.  After having to pack my car up for workshops at Moana, Glandore and Enfield for the past 4 years it will be lovely to be able to put everything in my rooms and know I can just shut the door at the end of the night.  I can't wait to fill this room with lovely ladies chatting and scrapping away for many hours. Here is a

Creative Memories have just released their new June product and I'm excited.  How fresh and bright do these papers look.  I've ordered the entire bundle and can't wait to have a play and show you all what i create with them.  You could use them for Summer pages, which to be quite honest, we are probably just getting around to printing out now in our Aussie Winter.  They could also work well with spring flowers, fun and funky birthday parties and so much more.  The pretty pastels would work well for little girl pages, and the funky bright stripes, chevrons and dots would work well for boys, especially with the new Playland punches which includes the new dinosaur punch. Planning a trip to the USA soon, or maybe you have been recently.  Well this Star-Spangled album coverset and matching Red White & Blue Star Spangled paper pack would be perfect for that album. Haven't been to the States?  Think this paper is not for you?  Think again?  The bright reds and b

In March, Creative Memories Released the Starburst Punch.  It arrived on my doorstep the morning I was leaving for our Summer Retreat which meant that I got to un-box it in front of my customers at the Retreat, which was a bit of fun.  I had already seen how you could make a border with it on the Creative Memories Blog - here is the link for you to follow how to make the border:    6 Simple Steps to a Stunning Border I recreated this and taught the girls how to make the border, but then when I had a chance to play around with it I discovered that you can make corners with it...in fact you could make a whole square border around your page with it if you want.  The green and purple colours really worked well together too. This is the page I created at our Retreat, with photo's taken on my Instax Camera there on the day.  Buy the Starburst Punch now....click here I'd love to hear what you are creating with this punch.  Share

Back in December 2017 Creative Memories released the Imagine Collection.  I was so excited when I saw the Album Coverset as it was perfect for my Disneyland Album. I couldn't wait to get this whole collection. My husband Michael and I went to Disneyland in 2012 and it was absolutely magical!  Since this Imagine Coverset was released I have been wanting to get started working on my album but things have been busy with moving house and lots happening in my business.  We were getting organised for our March Retreat and I thought it was about time to get started.  We then had a Virtual Crop that gave me lots of inspiration and I am now about a third of the way through.  I have loved putting this album together as I've been re-living the trip. I can see myself pulling this album off the shelf to browse lots in the years to come. This is my opening page for the album.  The photo was one that came with the package we got of shots taken from photographers around
