Help, please...

My husband had these sitting on his desk for so long & I finally investigated what they were??

It turns out they are a chocolate holder, of sort - these happened to have Ferraro's in them!!

How cute would they look with petals around them?

Id love to know where they can be purchased because I suddenly have some mo-jo surrounding them!!

And of course, once I find out, I'll let you know, too - Caring is sharing & sharing the love, right? 

A Little Thanks.

My youngest boy's eye was injured in a small accident at school yesterday. The nurse was so wonderful when she rang to tell me. I was juggling the need to get home in a mad rush & leave my work's Annual General Meeting, knowing that traffic was awful due an horrific accident on the road etc, etc, etc...

Jocelyn was so great, reassuring both Darcy and I, she really made us feel better about our choices. This is why I made a Chocolate Slider, using the It''s My Party DSP, Pool Party & Melon Mambo cardstock. And a bit of bling, of course!!

I used a peice of acetate to make the top balloon bouncy and then added a couple of Glimmer stars from behind each balloon, so they move when someone is drooling over it :))

The balloons are made 'puffy' by using the end of a scoring tool & rubbing it until it begins to curl up. I then stuck 2 balloons together using a couple of dimensionals and ribbon. Cute, hey?

Thanks for looking at my latest creation, I will have some new items from our latest catalogue, next time, so check in again soon :)

Kids In The Kitchen...errr, the Stamp Room!!

Every now and then, one of my 3 children will want to come in and actually make something in my stamp room. Rachelle, 14 decided she wanted to make a small gift for her teachers, after seeing an item from On-Stage 2015.

So Rachelle made 13 of these beauties, stage by stage and then happily handed them out on one of the last days of Year 8.

As the receiver pulls the tab on the right, the left peice pulls out also.

Of course, they were very well received!! Well done Rachelle, I loved having you in my stamp room, let's not wait until next Christmas before another visit, pleeease????

Spending time with children AND stamping is absolutely a win win for me!!

My Easter Gift

Wowzers, it's been a while since my last post... Work deadlines, migraines and school holidays have caused all that, sadly...anyway, back to why we are here, right :)

Our  family does small gifts at Easter, so I decided to use one of my many, many Maccona jars for one of them.  My gorgeous neice Rillie loves all things a bit freaky, so this fitted the bill, totally!!

I decorated the jar using retired Designer Paper and the Bow Tie punch, amongst others, coming up with this funky bunny to match the belly band around the jar.

And in all the yumminess of chocolate, I buried these hair ties. a bit cute, hey?
I hope Rillie doesn't think that we are only giving her a jar of chocolate, 'cos these will look great in her stunning hair!!

Getting Ready For Easter!!

I had a local school market for a Primary School on the weekend, so wanted to make sure that I had something for the children to enjoy!
I had seen lots of punch-art on Pinterest or the normal internet sites, but couldn't make them, because the punches that I had, didnt quite work...

So I decided to turn off the laptop and begin to make my own bunny. And this is how this cutie came about!

The new Bow Builder Punch makes this gorgeous little bow, just perfect for this project!

 I tell ya tho, the fishing line whiskers were very trying!! I needed to concentrate to put those under the little bunny nose!!
And the little splash of bling with the rhinestone finished them off!

Once I was happy with one little rabbit, I needed to make more, of course! So then I decided to make 40 of them..

Once each bunny was punched, sponged, glued and completely built, they were placed, front and centre on these containers that I have had laying around for about 3 years!! (Nothing like rushing into using them quickly, hey?)

I am so hoppy, oops, I mean happy with how they have turned out AND it is my design!!

I had so many positive remarks about my bunny containers, it was lovely to hear that they were received so well.

Come back in a couple of days, to see how my 10 year son came up with an ingenious way to display my containers, so that they were seen by everyone...
Thanks for stopping by :)
