I had a play with these gorgeous ribbons and came up with this layout. I used the Anna Griffin Sierra papers. I have had them in my stash for a while and finally used them!

Charity Crop update...

Last Saturday I held a charity Mega Day here in Orange, where we scrapped from 10am - 10pm. It was a fabulous day and I met some lovely local ladies. We raised $240 for Cancer Care Western NSW which we were happy with. Lots of local businesses helped out by donating prizes for the raffle or food;

These are a few of my pages (most are for future ribbon kits etc so I can't share them yet)

My 'arty' mail

I have seen these in the magazines but did not expect to receive a cute decorated parcel like this myself! Thanks Petrina! A nice surprise from bills and catalogues!

Petrina has used these Inque Boutique stamps that I have secretly had my eye on for a while! Might have to have that set!

New Basic Grey is available online now

Basic Grey are one of my favourite paper ranges -3 have just been released;

Lots of new stock is being added daily. These are a few that I have just added;

They are clear stamps by Inkadinkado. The middle image and the circle are seperate stamps so you can mix and match. I love round stamps so these are a favourite! There are bees, butterflies and great saying in the range. See them here.

Fabric fun.......

Mum came back from her holiday with LOTS of fabulous new fabrics. I know it is crazy but I love them so much I don't want to use them (I have overcome this ridiculous obsession with paper and can now use my favourites! :-))

We did agree to use some to create these funky fish, pattern from Melly & Me. Lots of different ric racs were used to seperate the fabrics. Thanks mum, they are fabulous!

My weekend ........5 cousins and lots of laughs!

I looked after my cousins for a few nights. We went bowling, ran out of petrol (faulty guage!), saw the snow on Mount Canobolas, went to a friend's house for dinner, the boys played football and saw Star Wars at the movies, the girls went to a first birthday party. I managed to take a few good photos!
