Happy Sunday Everyone!

Just over a month ago I was approached by the Royal Australian Air Force if I would like to donate anything to their raffle. Of course I said Yes!

Seeing at it was mostly defence personnel purchasing the tickets, and I wasn’t sure if they would all be as crafty, I decided to make something for them rather than just sending them some product.

Kaisercraft had just released a wonderful collection called “Remember Me” which I thought was perfect for an Anzac Day raffle. 

I created a canvas (I forgot to take a photo!!) featuring some of these papers in the background, then I stamped the beautiful Donna Downey Poppy Stamp on to it. Using a mask of the stamp, I texture pasted the poppies in red to really make them stand out.

I then also made a paper bag album.

Tags can be pulled out for journaling.

Good Morning!

Hello!

Last week a new tool arrived in store, and for all those Sew Easy users this is a must have!

Do you love using your sew easy to create sewing holes or the stamps to create stamped straight lines? How about making perfect circles with them?

Have a look at this short video which explains it a lot better than I could…

We have the large mat (12 x 13″) and the circle adapters in store now. They are also available online {here}.

There is also a short video on our website featuring project life 🙂

I end up putting items in boxes to tidy up and stack the boxes up and then when I need something which I THINK I might have I either can not find it or can’t be bothered looking through the 5 or so (ok 20ish or so….) boxes to find it so don’t use it.

Take Washi Tape for example. I have around 20 rolls of it in a draw on my desk – but out of sight = out of mind! 

Ever since I have started using the WeR memory keeper tape dispensers I use washi tape a lot more.(so does my daughter…but hey its there to be used right?)

That brings me to my new craft room – I will finally have my own space to spread out all my scrapbooking items instead of sharing the dining table with the kids. But I need to make the most of my space and have everything easily accessible and make it look neat all in one!

So I started an online search and this is what I found: 

There are some great ideas here! My head is spinning with ideas now…. I think a trip to Ikea is in order – I just LOVE their storage items (see bottom photo) and I think draws will work best for me. Although I am rather partial to all the jars and would love to organise my flowers, buttons and ribbons into colours…. but who knows in my busy life how long it will stay looking that pretty!?

How have you organised your craft room? 

We have placed a pre-order and it is available on our website,{here}  we will not be able to post the items till the end of April when it arrives in Australia.

If there is an item out of stock on our website – please e-mail me and I can add your pre-order in with my next order.
