Prima Roadshow!!!

Wow, what a fantastic day I had down in Cairns on Thursday last week, at the Prima Roadshow! Thanks Scrap therapy, www.scraptherapy.com.au for bringing out the fabulous Prima teachers!
I'm pictured here with Sharon Laakkonen, whose work I was quite familiar with. She was our teacher for the day, and she is the Design Team Coordinator for Prima Marketing, www.primamarketinginc.com
We made mini albums using canvas pages. We coloured them with distress inks and spritzes, & I learned how to use the beautiful Prima flower ranges to their full potential. The gorgeous papers we used are the Prima Pixie Glen range, I am so in love with them, I made a layout with some of the leftovers! I loved it!!! Will definately have to incorporate a few ideas into my Kaszazz projects!

And here is the lovely album we made!!! Just have to decorate with pics now!

Card and a Half extra challenge # 5

Well, have just snuck this entry in for the extra challenge this month over at Card and a Half. Click on my title to go straight to the challenge info.
We were asked to make 2 Christmas cards using the same papers, but with two different looks! I have used mainly Kaszazz products, with the exception of a flower and brad.

New papers & Kaszazz clock stamps.

Here's a layout I loved doing with some fussy cutting of some new no name brand papers, and a few clock stamps from Kaszazz!

More Kaszazz workshop projects

I have been busy over the last month doing up some more projects to run as workshops:

Discover Flourish layout, the 2nd page has a hinge so you can hide some more photos and journalling underneath!!!
2H592 Funky Friends collage

Contact me to find out how you can attend a workshop or about the products used in these layouts!

Wow, I have just received the October newsletter from Kaszazz, and it is jam-packed with great things!

The 1st being a fantastic new release of more TIM Holtz products- RANGER INK DISTRESS STAINS! You may have seen these already advertised in the magazines. They come in the form of a dabber bottle and can be used in a variety of ways. More to follow for info on these, they will be released before Christmas!

The best bit……. For the rest of October, starting from Today, Kaszazz have released a huge list of products, 50 in total that you can double up on for FREE! Buy one get one FREE! There are some large ticket items in here, such as the Black Share and Tell albums, D-ring style! (We always need these!) The Funky rub ons and alphabets and numerals, and if any of you have the EZY Press machine, there are some dies on the list too. (Why not confer with your friends and go halves, these are big ticket items you may have been putting off!)

Here is my entry and a pic of where my colours came from for my inspiration...I bought a pressie for a friend while we were away in Mission Beach last week, and loved the colours the shopkeeper wrapped it in, so made my card to match, thanks for the sketch! All products used are from Kaszazz!

A few piccies the lovely Laura took on the day of Team Training Day!

Team Training Day!

Well Dave came home last Saturday- which coincided with me running my first ever Team Training Day for Kaszazz! He took the kids off to stay a night at the New Ramada (previously Treetops), in town. My TTD went well, but it was a very long day!!!I had 7 ladies attend, I think they all had a great day! I met up with my family at around 6.30pm and we had a great night!Here is one of the new projects we created at TTD, using the brand new September released products which you can view here shortly!It's workshop no 2H972 TIMELESS PAGE AND POCKET PIECES. It was a great excuse for me to scrap my Mum and Dad and my brother and I when we were very young!So glad to get these memories down!There's also another workshop page I created recently, the 2H729, Romance and funky blooms layout! Let me know if you would like any info on how to create these pages or attend a workshop..

On the countdown!! Scrapping every now and then!

Well, we have just over a week to go before we see Dave! It's been 3 long weeks. The kids have started to really notice his absence, thanks goodness for skype though! So with me being the sole parent in the house for the last few months, I have noticed an absence of time for my craft. I do fit little bits in here and there, but it's always around other things like work, dinner, readers, homework, stories, frightened little ones in the night, and the list goes on!!! Not to mention: mowing the lawns, looking after the swimming pool and gardens, umm!!!! I'm sure there is more.....So my blogging has slowed down a little too. But here I am to show you a couple of things I have managed to fit in! These are a couple of the Kaszazz workshops I have done up, ready to teach! Girly stuff again, Poor Jack is going to start feeling a little rejected if I don't get some boy projects happening soon!!!

The first one is a page and card workshop, 2H844- You can look these up on the Kaszazz website in the workshop catalogue by the way!!!
The 2nd one is the Cheeky rub on page and pockets piece!
On the countdown now, only 8 more days till TTD, (Kaszazz Team Training Day!!!)
