I have created 2 cards today using primary colours. Both very quick & easy.
This weeks theme for the Blog Wars is the "Rollagraph". Pop back to see the projects I create. Hopefully I will find some time before the end of the week to post some photo's. Check out what the other girls have been up to, Blog War participants list to the right of screen.

This weeks theme for the Blog Wars is Primary Colours. Red, Blue & Yellow.
I created with a friend of mine (Hi Kim) on Wednesday morning, within 2 hours I created the 3 12 x 12 pages below. I would never put these colours together, unless I was doing a kids birthday card :), but I really like the way these layouts came out. What do you think?
If you would like to know more about these layouts, colours or products I have used please ask. All products are Kaszazz & I can order them for you.
Cheers, Tina
I am just loving stamping at the moment & over the past two days I have put together this 12 x 12 page with a coastal theme. I haven't got around to putting piccies on it yet, we live by the beach so I'm sure to have some around suitable for it. It also needs a title... I will add that when I put the photo's on it.
Kaszazz products I used for this layout:
4448 Jetstream Bazzill, 4228 Vanilla Bazzill, Chestnut Roan, Aquamarine& Charcoal Fluid Chalk, Snow Cap Paint Dabber, Stamps: 519LB Shell small, 113LI Seahorse large, 1176LF Shell large, 1094LK Net large, 1276LA Chalk bubble small, 4028KC Texture patch, 672LH Shell border & Glossy Accents.

Well it seems I confused a few Consultants with my choice of Ellegance Vellum this week, sorry girls!! It confused me too. I knew it must have been somewhere, as I have labelled my vellum storage folder pages with Elegance Vellum. I found it today!! in a past issue of the Kaszazz Catalogue (the brown one) on page 32 is Scrapbooking - Ellegance. It includes 4635 Gold Hearts, 4636 Gold Roses, 4637 Gold Script, 4638 Silver Hearts, 4639 Silver Roses & 4640 Silver Script Vellum. These are available to view in the Current Kaszazz Catalogue on pages 40 & 41.
These vellums are perfect for creating romantic & sentimental scrapbooking pages & are full of charm, grace & charisma!
The card I created above with 4447 Gold Bazzill Basics & 4637 Gold Script Vellum. I embossed the heart stamp with 10029 Gold Sparkle Embossing powder. The photo looks like copper as I took it with the flash off, the one before with the flash on just reflected everwhere. The card looks much nicer in real life.

Hi All,
Well the kids are home for the school holidays & my whole routine is out of whack!! I haven't had a chance to get to my blog, sorry about that! Mick & I have also been busy re-sealing the slate in our house, the smell of the sealer is quite strong so we slept in the shed for a couple of nights. It's all done now & looks lovely!!
We also went in the Bay to Birdwood Run with my AP6 Valiant last weekend. I have had this car since I was 16. We have always wanted to participate in the Bay to Birdwood & this year we finally did it! We had a lovely day together, the kids didn't want to come, so it was just the two of us. Over 1700 vehicles participated.
I have managed to create of few things over the school holidays. Today I created 5 cards using gold hearts vellum & leaf nouveau design adhesive with gold glitter. This would be great idea for a 5PQ. Ellegance vellum is the Blog War product this week.
Below is a great new product released by Kaszazz - Hinged Ring Album 12 x 12 School Days.
I have put this great new kit together I just need to finish my journalling. I just love having Reece's school years in review, years 1 - 7. Everything is there for you in this kit to put it together. Priced at $39.95, a great keepsake for the years to come. Please contact me if you wish to purchase one. I can post it out to you.
Cheers, Tina
This weeks Blog War (PoW) product of the week is Design Adhesives.

I will just have to tell you about them for now & post my creations at a later date. Pop back & check them out.

Hi All,
What a week!!! I created the invitation below on Monday & the days have just got away from me.
The kids have gone on camp this week, one left on Monday, back on Wednesday & the other left Wednesday & back today. I think they would have really enjoyed the week apart from each other. I've had painters in the house painting all the main living areas Monday - Wednesday. So you know how it is, furniture everywhere!!! All finished now though, looking beautiful. It's so nice to have a colour change & freshen the house. LOVE IT!! I have been creating but not all of it has been for the Blog War, so I do apologise for the lack of Blog War creations this week!!
Below I have added MORE pictures of creations from the ladies who attended our Creative Getaway. Hope you find them all inspiring. I definately have.
KASZAZZ SEPTEMBER NEW PRODUCT RELEASE!!!

This weeks (PoW) Product of the week for the BLOG WAR is Distress Inks.
I just love Distress Inks & I am slowly building my colour collection. Kaszazz sell 24 colours. Bright colour options are perfect for the new vintage, stained aged effects in altered books, scrapbook pages, cards & paper projects!
Distress Inks are acid free, non-toxic, fade resistant, water based dye inks & have been specially formulated to give an aged, weathered look to papers, photos & more!
To create this layout I used one piece of each Flirty Bazzill Bling & Essentials White. I stamped "Long Stemmed Daisies" across the bottom of the white with Perfect Medium & embossed it with clear embossing powder. With "Dusty Concord" Distress Ink I distressed over the daisies using a blending tool until I was happy with the shading of the resist technique. Tore across the page over the top of the daisies then adhered it to the base page. I stamped the daisies with the dusty concord onto white & then punched out 5 butterflies & distressed their edges. I stamped all other images on the page in dusty concord. Punched around the white matting for the photo & finished with a little icestickles on the base Flirty Bazzill Bling.
With this layout I tore a scrap piece of paper to create a mask. I literally then grabbed my Aged Mahogany Distress Ink Pad & smeared it from the piece of paper (which I had positioned) over the edge of a piece of ivory 12 x 12 to create the border for this layout. So easy!!! Weathered Wood Distress Ink is the other colour I used on this page. The red matting for the photo is pomegranate from the latest SB Essentials range.
This picture is of Becky & myself while we were away at Coobowie last weekend by the jetty at Wool Bay.
The layout below I created using the following products: Jetstream & Limeade Bazzill Basics, Essentials white, Faded Jeans Distress Ink, Stamps - Swirl Frames, Chalk Small Bubble, Soccer & Carnival Alphabet.
Again.... I created the border around the layout by just grabbing my Faded Jeans Distress Ink Pad (down the right hand side) dragging it off the edge of the page & around the page stamping the ink pad over the edge of the layout. This is a great layout for a Beginner Scrapbooker to create. If you have any questions, please ask. I can order any of these Kaszazz products for you. Please contact me if you would like to place an order.
Cheers, Tina
This weeks Blog War product is Fluid Chalk. Fluid Chalk is one of my favourite products, there are just so many beautiful soft colours to suit any of your craft projects to choose from. You can find them on page 77 - 79 of the current Kaszazz Product Catalogue. Link to the right of screen. ColorBox Fluid Chalk are gorgeous inks that stamp & blend like dye inks & dry quickly on most surfaces.
They can be purchased in a number of options: individually in 3 sizes, cats eye, mini & inkpad.
They can also be purchased in ColorBox Fluid Chalk Option Pads, these are a very economical way to add 8 gorgeous new colours to your collection! Each colour plate can then be lifted out of the palette for direct-to-paper application!
Also can be purchased as: ColorBox Fluid Chalk Queue, unique, multi-coloured, nested Cat's Eye inkpads! Stack & re-stack them to create your own colour spectrum!
& ColorBox Fluid Chalk Cat's Eye Sets, each set features a Stylus Cat's Eye Adapter Set & 5 Fluid Chalk Cat's Eye inkpads in a harmonious colour spectrum! The adapter snaps into the back of the Cat's Eye inkpads for colour blending & direct-to-paper techniques.
The card above is a "Wedding RSVP" I created. Friends of ours are getting married bare footed on the beach in December. Our shell border, shell & wave stamp were perfect for this card.
If you have any further questions regarding these 3 Fluid Chalk cards I have created please ask & check out what the other girls in the Blog Wars have been up to. Participants list to the right of screen.

This card is a great way to use up some more paper scraps. It can be created in any colours & I found it very theraputic tearing the paper. I started with a piece of double sided sticky paper which I trimmed to size. After tearing strips of coloured scrap paper, I removed one side of the double sided sticky paper sticking each piece down one at a time. Once trimmed, I removed the other side of the sticky paper & adhered the piece to Bahama Bazzill. I stamped the plane on a piece of ivory cardstock, with Prussian Blue Fluid Chalk. Happy Birthday is also on ivory cardstock stamped with Ancient Page Coal Black. I used Chestnut as the base card & hung the edge of the Bahama over the Chestnut card.
I'm off to our KASZAZZ Monthly Team Meeting tonight. Our ATC Swap this month is "SUMMER" themed. I will be back tomorrow with a picture of all the new ATC's I receive. Come back & visit to check them out.
Cheers, Tina
Todays Male card was inspired by a card I saw in a magazine. The card I saw was created in Orange, Black & White. It came to me, I would never use that colour combination, so I thought I would give it a go.
I used a number of stamps..... all from our great Kaszazz Range of course :) I collaged them, just kept stamping until I was happy with the look. I watermarked the postcard stamp on the orange bazzill. I distressed a piece of white cardstock by stamping it with coal black fluid chalk & walnut distress ink. I also used a blending tool with the walnut to give the aged appearance. "Grandfather" is from our 1651LN Family Names uncut (26) un mounted stamp set. This set covers all members of a family, you can check it out on page 127 of the Current Kaszazz Catalogue.
Cheers, Tina
This male gift card I created with a piece of 4756 Map/Chocolate from the Scrapbooking Rustic Range. These are double sided papers, so the inside of this card also has the map pattern which is shown on the front. The stamp I used is the 1700LH Tool Border. I have stamped it twice. One image I trimmed & tore down the side to give a rustic effect. The second stamped image I cut out a couple of tools separately & adhered them to the front of the card. I have stamped "Congratulations" in gold down the side, but it hasn't shown up too well in the picture.
This card is very easy to make & is a perfect little creation to make from your "scrappy" off cuts.
Cheers, Tina
Hi Everyone,
Hope you all had a fantastic weekend!! This is a catch up post for me today. Below is my other 3 cards from last weeks Blog War Challange - Embossing. I'll get them out the way before I post my first card for this weeks Challange - Male Cards. Hope you like them.
I also attended one of Naomi Elliot's workshops on Friday using the NEW Smooch product. I will show you those cards I created tomorrow, so come back & visit.
I first rollagraphed this card with 26152 Floal Florish & the 24005 Watermark Ink Cartridge. Then embossed the 4192KL Note Journal Stamp in red & stamped the daisy from the Spring time stamp set (9) with Ancient Page Coal Black around the edges. I punched 3 scallops & added a piece of red ribbon.
I embossed the 1875LI Chalk Leaves Large onto black cardstock with red embossing powder. Kaszazz has 27 different colours of embossing powders to choose from. I trimmed the card to size then added Distress Crackle Paint around the edge of the cardstock.
Distress Crackle Paint is a great way to add decades of distress to your creations in just one step - this acid free, non-toxic paint cracks as it dries! Perfect on cardstock, chipboard & more! Apply a medium coat for fine cracks & a thick coat for heavier cracks. Once cracks appear you can speed up the drying process with an Embossing Heat Tool.
I left my piece of cardstock to dry overnight, added a piece of red ribbon & then mounted it onto a black card. I have used TDC23722 Fired Brick Crackle Paint.
Two of my favourite embossing powders at the moment are our 10028 Sterling Silver & 10029 Gold Sparkle, these powders have fine glitter in them & look absolutely gorgeous once embossed. I have used the Sterling Silver on this card above, these two colours are perfect if you are getting in early creating your Christmas Cards. Please contact me if you would like to order any of these products.
Cheers, Tina
This weeks Blog War technique is Embossing. I have two little niece's & both of them have birthday's in August. Above are their birthday cards I created for them. The first card I embossed the words & the second I embossed the bear, both embossed with white embossing powder.
Page 66 of the Kaszazz Catalogue, link to the right of screen, has our full range of embossing powders, heat gun & embossing accessories.
Check out what the other girls have been up to in the Blog Wars.... Kris & Jo have been very creative. You can also find them in my Blog War participant list to the right of screen.

Gee, the days are getting away from me this week, already Thursday!! Today I have put together a card today using Perfect Medium, Pearlescent Chalks, Gold Embossing, Star punch & Stamps on oatmeal card. The chalks give this card a nice shimmer that doesn't show up very well in the photo. Any questions please ask.

This weeks Blog War Theme is "Christmas In July" It seems a little weird thinking about Christmas Cards already, but as a scrapbooker & card maker it pays to be organised early. I know alot of my friends & family look forward to receiving my home made cards now!! the pressure is on to be organised.
Today's card I have created with strips of double sided sticker paper, I have trimmed to size. Sticker paper (also known as JAK paper) comes in A4 size with 5 sheets per pack, for $8.95. You can find them on page 61 of the Current Catalogue & Project Book. I removed one side of the tape & stuck it down on to Crimson Bazzill then removed the second side of the tape, placed red & green glitter on, one colour at a time. I stamped the Friends & Tree Christmas Stamps with Warm Green Fluid Chalk onto White Bazzill, trimmed to size edged with green & mounted onto the card. I then adhered the Crimson Bazzill to a white card & finished by punching a small star from white cardstock & placing on top of the christmas tree.
MUM'S A WINNER!!!
I had a great time on Saturday racing all my son's mates at the GO KART track for his 13th Birthday. Although I did come 2nd & 3rd in each of the 25 lap races. I DID however acheive the fastest lap time of the day, 23.81 seconds. I am a little bit of a rev head!! LOL. Never gonna let them live that one down. It was so much FUN!!!
Cheers, Tina
"Red & Green" was this months ATC Theme, for our swap at Team Meeting this week. Above is the beautiful ATC's that each Consultant created & mine's on the left.
For our hands on activity at our Team Meeting, we all made the gorgeous white christmas card below, created by Cheryl Devlin. The other Green Christmas card I created, both cards using the NEW Christmas in July Stamps & Papers. Love them!!!
I received this (ATC) Artist Trading Card back in May from Julie Nankervis. Perfect for our Teddy Bears Picnic Blog War Theme. Julie has used the small, medium circle punches & a metal hole punch to create this cute little bear.
My first baby turns 13 tomorrow. Happy Birthday Reece!! Just where does the time go? Wish me luck beating him at Go-Kart racing. GAME ON!!
Cheers, Tina
