How time flies

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 pic from my first Advisor & Friends workshop in November with a few lovely Sydney advisors who came along to scrap for the day with me. It was such a lovely relaxing day.




November was truly a busy month as we had a stall at the Penrith Papercraft Fair.  It was a busy weekend meeting lots of lovely ladies who love scrapbooking, card making and papercraft.






Thank-you to the ladies who ran the stall with me, Julie Parry, Antonietta Carruthers and Melissa Haithwaite.  It was a great event to be at to start meeting new people here in NSW.




This was our stall for the three days of the Fair, with lots of things for people to look at including the current join offer from CM and some new tools on offer.  We are always amazing at how many people we meet who didn't know that Creative Memories has been back in Australia since Nov 2015.  We were so happy to share with them that Caleb Hayhoe had brought the company, has it debt free and thriving and bringing all the CM products back that we know and love.


We had a Make and Take table next to our stall this year.  Our classes were:

* Crafty & Cozy Christmas Cards
* Speed Scrapbooking - Foldover Page Recipe
* Merry Little Christmas Project Recipe




Now that I'm getting settled here in NSW I am looking forward to sharing on this blog some ideas, pages I create and projects that I am doing to help get you inspired on your own projects.

Keep watching this space and don't forget to Subscribe to my Blog to keep updated with my new posts.

Until next time...Happy Scrapping!

Stunning Starburst

Image
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 wit...

June Whats New at Creative Memories

Image
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?...

Themes are a Dream

Image
How would you like co-ordinating Album covers that match your album theme? Well CM have just that, but for a limited time!  These album covers are only available til the 17th December.  The themed packs (paper and stickers) will be around for a little longer, but if you want the album cover I suggest you order now to avoid missing out. Anyone who know's me will know how much I adore my cats.  They are our fur-babies and are such a big part of our life.  So it will come as no surprise that I have ordered the Catitude Album cover. I can't wait til it arrives this week. Check out some of the other fantastic Albums and Themed Packs on offer. Which one is your favourite?  I'd love to hear your comments below!
