Stampamajig

Hi everyone. This is a Stampamajig! I really like the name of it. It is a handy little gadget to have around. If you like perfection you will like this tool. My next workshop is October 20 and you can come along and try this for yourself. It starts at 730pm and you will make a project and can practise this for yourself. I'm at 37 Lady Douglas Way, Karratha. Contact me on 91 431 573/0418914293. The cost is $5.
This month Stampamajig is turning 20! There are some great stampsets to be had!
Have a great week and happy stamping.

Spring Fever

Hi everyone. How are the school holidays going? Everyone, except Deb can answer that! Being in Broome excludes you Deb!
I have been going mad with cleaning, organising and just have labelling to go! My craft stuff has been sorted, the good stuff saved and the not so good ditched! I've moved all my craft stuff out of the lounge area into the alcove behind breakfast bar. Hopefully this will improve my creative flow. Certainly makes the lounge look more spacious.
Happy Birthday Stampin'Up!
Well, I'm off to see what else I can clean out or throw out!

Stampin'Up! Regional Event September 13th 2008


Yes, don't fall off your chair! I finally downloaded my photos tonight from last weekend so I can publish them here!! The pink card on the left is 3 little cupcakes made from the tab punch. You fold them in half. I then punched doublesided paper for the top of the cake to look like 100's 1000's and highlighted some of them with crystal effects and dazzling diamonds. Thanks for your great idea Sherylee!
The surfing santa is a slider card using the word window punch. A bit complex to explain but I think it was on Tami White's blog that Annette told me about. Thanks Netty!
The scrapbooking page was made using the spiral punch. Love that punch. I stamped the letters using versamark on basic black cardstock and the big deal alphabet and cut them out. The embellishments were also made from punches - the scallop punch. You punch out the image then stick onto a post-it note and punch it again. I used the black journal pen along the left and bottom side to journal about this day.
The scallop card was made using doublesided paper. A circle is punched out using the 1 3/8 punch, then the slit punch is used to create the scallop.
The other scalloped image was a boo boo! I was a bit tired and grabbed the 1 1/4 circle punch and the slit punch wouldn't fit!!! So I punched another circle and then trimmed it a bit to make a little mini album! Cherita pointed out if you were trying to do this you could use a tab punch and it would be a lot easier! Very true and I will try this now I liked the outcome! I decorated the spring flowers paper with the 1/2 pearls from the fab Pretties kit, stick them on with crystal effects.
The other card with the fish from the Life's a Breeze I used the slit punch again to make the waves. I've used crystal effects to make the fish glisten which you can't see here.
Well, hope you are still awake! If you would like more info, or would like to order any of the things I've talked about then please leave me a post!

Christmas Cards


Hi everyone. Sorry its taken so long to post again. My computer has had problems with a spyware virus but all good now. Thanks Paul!
Well the Christmas stampastack was on Thursday night with 6 lovely ladies coming along. We got through 4 cards. Here they are. If you would like to buy the materials for the cards including a stamped image, please email me or leave me a post through here. Three of these cards were cased from splitcoast stampers and were modified slightly, the fourth was taken from the ideas book and catalogue.
If you haven't already seen the new minicatalogue let me know and I will get one to you asap...Take care and happy stamping.
