Blae and Ivy
Last week I was cleaning up a bit in our store room and came across some of more the very popular Blae and Ivy kits we had as kit of the week a while ago.
The kit includes:
* 6 double sided papers
* rub ons,
* sticker sheet,
* twine,
* ribbon,
* doilies,
* chipboard banners,
* cherry blossoms,
* mulberry flowers,
* mulberry butterflies,
* 2 metal charms and pearl brads as well as 2 hat pins.
Have a look at what Amber created using this kit (the only other product she used is her cuttlebug to die cut some leaves).
Please excuse the bad photos… I had to take the photos inside and it keeps reflecting off the plastic – the weather has been a bit to wild and windy to put the layouts outside.
 |
| Amber ised 2 of the Kaiser pocket pages and created a Project Life styled layout. |
 |
| she also created this stunning layout from the kit. |
The total kit costs $20, Amber created 1 single layout and 1 double (with bits left over!) which equals to only $6.67 per page! Bargain!!
Hurry as these kits are sure to run out fast and will not be replenished.

October Holiday Classes 2013
School Holidays are creeping up again!
We have a couple of wonderful classes planned for the kids these holidays.
On Monday’s we will be holding classes for a local group as we did last school holidays (looking forward to seeing you all again!) The items we will be making and price just needs to be confirmed with the co-ordinator, then I will share it with you.
N.B: Age Guidelines. I have put an approximate age for each class. But that is ONLY a guide as each child is different and all are at different levels. Only YOU know your child well enough to know if they can cope with the class. All projects are in store for viewing and I will leave it up to you to decide :). I’m also happy for you to stay – if not to help them you can sit at the spare table and have a coffee.

Painting on Fabric
Someone asked me the other day if I stock fabric paint, and I don’t as they are quite expensive and it is really hard to stock EVERYTHING.
But what we do stock is a highly underused product called Fabric Medium from Ranger.
Here is the information from Ranger:
The Ranger Clear Fabric Medium is a dimensional acrylic medium that creates custom fabric paints. Just add color to the clear formula by mixing with Ranger Archival Inks, Adirondack Pigment Inks, Adirondack Alcohol Inks or Perfect Pearls Pigment Powders. Use with glitters and embossing powders for added sparkly effects, too.
Create wearable art by using the custom paints to stencil, stamp or paint with a brush onto t-shirts, aprons, handbags, scarves and more.
• Create fabric paints
• Clear acrylic formula• Add color with Ranger products• Acid free and non-toxic
As well as mixing it with the Ranger products listed above you can also mix it with any acrylic paint to create Fabric Paint.
And what do you do with Fabric Paint? Have a look at these images / ideas from Pinterest:
Also great for making custom decorated pillows! You are limited only by your imagination. For more ideas got to Pinterest and search fabric paint. Or click {here}
Wishing everyone a fantastic weekend!

Pinspiration!
Are you on Pinterest? I often get lost on there. Wether I am looking for ideas for our new house, storage ideas or craftiness.
This week I have been looking for some ideas for our new house. I will actually have a room for all my crafty items! As the room is smallish I have looked for ways that can store a lot with out looking cluttered.
What do you think of a desk like this? So easy to make with 2 book cases and a table top! Even I could make this!!
{The blogs these images are originally from are linked on the picture.}
And my favourite idea from this week is a way to keep track of your punches.
Make small white cards and punch out the shape. You can laminate this card, then keep it on a ring with your other ones. Then when you need a punch (or die!) – instead of getting them all out and hunting through just place your cut out over it and you can see instantly if it will fit! You can then reach for your desired punch or die cut.

The power is starting the flicker a little in this wild weather we are having so I had better turn off the computer!
Wishing everyone an awesome week ahead!!
Another week flown by…
Hello!
This week has really flown by again! We had canvas classes, scrapbooking classes as well as card making and a kids class. My little boy turned 6 on Friday, there was a sports carnival at school, today the kids went to a party this morning, I worked, then in the afternoon Elisa and I met up with some Arty Farty People (click here to join that FB group 🙂 – you won’t regret it!!) and now I should be getting ready for my little man’s birthday party we are holding at the park in Strathalbyn tomorrow (after soccer in the morning!).
What have you been up to this week?
The kids where face painted at the party this morning. Unfortunately it looks like little Alex will be staying slightly green as even with scrubbing I couldn’t remove the rest!! Doesn’t help that his skin is allergic to lots of things I could have possibly used to help remove it (like baby oil!)
Elisa enjoying chalking on the pavement at the Arty farty Meeting.
Our re-stock of the following VERY popular stamps arrived this week and are back on the shelf… Only $4 each!! They are not online – so if you are not in Geraldton and am interested in them please give me a call on 0408 913684 to order.
And these stamps are only $8.50 and available now as well…the 2 Christmas ones have plenty of different saying to ensure you have the perfect one for everyone!
Looking for somewhere to store your project life cards? Have a look at this great new storage solution from kaiser Craft!
And off course Kaiser have plenty of other new BTP projects as well….
All wood items are available in store.
The Project Life Club!
Hello!
Just a quick update from me… (Yes Finally!!)
For the past 2 weeks we have held a Project Life styled scrapbooking Class. We created 10 pages + the front cover and have scrapped close to 50 photos.
Everyone loved it so much we are continuing our Thursday night.
You can choose to buy the kit and learn something new every week, or just do your own thing. Either way, it promises to be a great night with great ladies and some scrapping done.
The kits will always be around the $20 mark which will include the plastic inserts, papers and embellishments that you need to complete it. Or you can pay $5 to do your own thing.
There are 2 places remaining in tomorrow nights class so give me a ring if you would like to join us.
For those opting to do the kit:
We will be creating a 2 page spread using papers from Prima Marketing, rhinestones, mulberry flowers and butterflies, washi tape as well as stamping using the awesome new stamps from Kaisercraft.
WASHI TAPE UPDATE
We have received a big box full of washi tape. All the latest designs!
Wishing you all a wonderful rest of the week!
