Welcome and thank you!

I would like to thank all my followers for visiting my site and signing up!
It is so nice to share ideas, meet new people and simply enjoy our common interest!!

I am so excited to reach over 4000 visits to my blog....I know that is not a massive amount but to me it is worth celebrating.

I am going to put up some blog candy as soon as I get close to 5000....I am about to have holidays and will be sorting through that very messy craftroom that I posted on cricuting in oz facebook group a while ago.....and will put together some nice goodies!!!

So keep popping back!!

Today I am preparing my project for Week 3 of the Strutting Your Stuff challenge over at Scrappygolucky.com.au and the only cart I have to play with is Wall Decor and More...having fun so far.....was about to cut a little bag from another cart and then realised I had to do it "by hand"as I could not utilise another cart!!!

Here is the sneak peak...now what is she up to this time???????????????

Photo cube instructions...enjoy!!

Here is the link to a video on instructions for the photo cube cd cover box. The sound is not good but the instructions excellent. However I did not do the base instead I used some chipboard painted and cut to size. I glude the cube box onto this. It is more durable. When I tried the other way I just got frustrated and felt it was not sturdy.

I am going to make some more to have ready for simple gifts etc and perhaps some prizes to dontae for our next retreat.

The measurements are 4 pieces of cardstock 5 3/4 X 4 5/8
I actually cut 8 of these as I lined mine as well...it gives a better look on the inside if desired. These stayed plain but the other 4 I scored and folded one end a 1/4 inch, inked the edges and then decorated as desired.

There is space for some dimension but not too much, however I did place some scrap thick card in between the keep the card close to the plastic as other wise it can 'bow' back and not look as neat....hard to explain but will become clear when actually putting it together.
I was hesitant and concerned the clear tape might show up but it doesn't and is needed to keep it together.

Have fun and feel free to email me photos and I iwll put on my blog if you wish!!

Happy Monday!!

Challenge 2 Cricuting in Oz

Here is my item for Challenge 2.

Call into
http://blog.scrappy-go-lucky.com.au/?s=week 2 to see all the entries.

Most of the cuts are create a critter with some word from graphically speaking. I enjoyed this project but it challenged me..especially putting the box together, there is definitely a knack to it. I have only done this once before.
Its fun though.
I have the instructions and happy to share.

New favourite product....

I bought some perfect pearls mist and just love it...I cannot stop myself spraying everything....

even the cats if they stay there on the new setting!!!lol..I just love them though!!

Almost finished project for the challenge...check out facebook group cricuting in oz and join the group if you are a blogging Aussie crafter...different sections for different interests!!

Scrapbook Sinners....

This is a store worth a visit!!

Managed by the lovely Leonie and crew of wonderfull staff who are all so enthusiastic and willing to share and help anyone that comes in.
Enter and the atmosphere is so inviting...the store is very large, spatious and organised. There is a huge classroom area at the back and a smaller one for our cosier groups...I love Thursday card nights.

The cross section of talents amongst the staff adds to the value of a visit.

Make it your stop if passing through Traralgon. It is so easy to find, right on the highway - just up from the nursery where hubby can visit! Or near the cheesecake shop and next door to the saddlery shop with the life size horse out the front!

Now its off to play with my purchases from Scrapbook Sinners this afternoon.....shhh dont tell my husband!!lol
