Crouching Dog Graphics

Dianne has been busy with that photo-corner punch!  Here she has used it too make flower bases (kinda!)  In this creaton she has used a few punchs, circles, scallop round.  Clever girl that Dianne!

I hope you have enjoyed Di’s cards as much as I have appreciaed having them.  Thanks Dianne.

Finally, we have unpacked into our new home.  We are now residents of the beautiful Northern Tablelands town of Tenterfield.  Dennis and I have admired this area for quite a number of years now, so when the five acres at McKees Hill finally became too much for us we decided if we were to move it would to this beautiful area.

I’m not a big fan of the humidity on the coast so Tenterfield suits us very well.  We found this fabulous house with an amazing cold climate garden (will have to re-educate myself now on the gardening front – as to what will withstand the frosty temperates here and what won’t).  The house has a great area that will become my new studio not as large as the previous one, however it overlooks the garden so I’m hoping that the creative juices will flow.

My new scrapbook/stamping furniture arrives this week end so hopefully next week will be spent unpacking my supplies and getting into organising some Christmas workshops and classes.

I must thank my downline Dianne Pickford who so generously shared her recent creations with me so that I could have new images on my blog .  Check out the one below and stay tuned because I have still one more of Dianne’s to share with you. 

I’ll be  back after the studio is organised with more of my creations and class details as well.

Cheers!

That clever Dianne has made these cute Chrissy trees from the corner punch.  How ingenius?  I do admire those people who can look at a stamp/punch/gadget that was made for a specific purpose and see other endless uses.  I’m afraid I’m not one of those  gifted people.  However Dianne is! 

Stamps:Short and sweet

Ink: Real Red, Whisper White Craft

Card: Choc Chip,  Green Galore

Punches:Photo Corners, Small Star, Word Window 

Dazzling Diamonds, Glitter

Look what this girl has made. She’s used one of the stamp sets that I’ve been drooooooling over “Party Hearty” (set of nine stamps for just $46.95) and my favourite DS paper Tea Party and created this gorgeous Trifold card.  She has used lots of pen-to-rubber on this one, but the result sure is worth it. 

Told you she’s a clever one.

I will be off air from tomorrow until Mr. Telstra decides to reconnect me.  Dennis and I are moving house and even though they promise  a 5 day turnaround on internet connections, I will believe it when I see it!  So I will post again when I can.  Until then keep creating!

BREAST CANCER AWARENESS PROMOTION

AN EXCITING WAY TO BEGIN YOUR VERY OWN BUSINESS AND ASSIST THE BREAST CANCER FOUNDATION

Everyone that knows me will tell you that I enjoy being a SU Demonstrator.  I make no secret that I initially joined because I wanted to be able to purchase quality products at a reduced cost.  However, after joining I became aware that not only could I fund my addiction to paper crafting I could make my hobby generate quite a healthy income to boot.  I’ve listed below some of the further advantages I’ve discovered along the way:

For over 20 years, Stampin’ Up! has helped women make a difference in the lives of others by simply doing what they love to do–sharing creativity, from your own home.

Now you too can become a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator and make a difference! For every person who joins the Stampin’ Up! family between 7 October and 31 December 2009, we will donate $5 to the National Breast Cancer Foundation (AU) or The New Zealand Breast Cancer Foundation.

Plus, until 31 December 2009, we’ll give you a FREE pack of Raspberry Tart Designer Series paper and a Pretty in Pink Classic Stampin’ Pad to help you get started!

If you have been thinking of taking the plunge to join SU and want to discuss this further please contact me.

Just a couple of photos showing what we woke to this morning.  The dust storm hit McKees Hill in the early hours of this morning and wow!  what a red hue has been added to everything.

looking north west note the 'girls' huddled in the chook run corner

looking west towards the incoming dust

After this has passed, who IS going to do the dusting??????

Oh well!  it’s off to the studio to create.  No sense in trying to work outside in this!   (sneaking away now to avoid having to do any housework)  Come back tomorrow and check out what I’ll be making today.

Cheers!
