Mini Bliss

Life has been super hectic around the Hughes household lately and that is why I have been missing from around here.  Last weekend Georgina and I held our very first Scrap Alley Retreat and it was a HUGE success, you can read about it here.  Everyone had a fantastic time, we had a ball hosting it and cannot wait till the next one.  Then this last week I have been nursing a little boy who has been to hospital to have his tonsils out.  He is not coping the best so lots of loving and hugging has been going on around here.

But today I had a little free time and decided that in honour of my feature HERE on the Etzcetera Magazine Blog, it was time to put a new kit together.  And since I received a new goodie box from Papertrey Ink this morning, I have featured this MINI BLISS kit around the mannequin stamp set and die that I ordered.  I LOVE IT!!!!

Along with Papertrey Ink stamped images and sentiments, it features goodies from 7 Gypsies, Maya Road and Tim Holtz.

This kit is so much fun, and at only $10 it is a great bargain kit to take along to your next crop.

And even better with FREE postage Australia Wide. Head on over to my ETSY store to grab your kit while you can, they are limited.

Cheers

Dreaming of Paris

As I love a little bit of storage, I squealed with delight when I spotted these at the cheapie shop the other day. They look like books but they open up for storage.......love!

My new Paris boxes now look awesome on my crafting desk, housing all my handmade flowers, diecuts and bits & pieces that need a creative project to stick to.  Maybe if I surround myself with Paris paraphernalia then one day I might get there..........law of attraction and all!~!

My Mini Book Collection

I snapped this photo as I walked through the lounge room the other day.  I think I have a little bit of an addiction to creating mini books!

I have them stored (or stuffed now) in a vintage wire basket.  I love that the kids can pull them out and go through them whenever they want.  I am not precious about them, that is what I have created them for.

My Favourite Things - new goodies!

Recently I purchased a cute new stamp set from My Favourite Things.  I have had a lust for birds nests lately and it wouldn't go away so I went on the hunt for a cute birds nest stamp, preferably with eggs in it.  Voila!

I decided to use the sketch from the My Favourite Things blog challenge (but of course didn't get to enter the challenge as I forgot to photograph it and get it entered in time, oh well!).  I love using a sketch to get started on creating, it is always a good kick off point.

Here is my card that I created based on the sketch.

Thanks for dropping by,

They're Here!!! Yay

After a long wait, the new stamps from Ippity have arrived in my hot little hands.

I love this set and am just now busy designing the projects for Ippity Stamp Club #2.  Here is the first sample:

What do you think?  This is such a cute and versatile set and did you know with Stamp Club you get to take the whole set home with you??  How cool is that!?

I still have one spot left for tomorrow nights class at 7.30pm.  Email me is you would like to come along and take this gorgeous set home with you.  Would love to see you here.

Cheers

AWESOME!

This video just makes me Sigh!  And want everything!!
