Tamsin showed me these great little backpacks before Christmas. I made a couple up for my children's teachers, filled them with choccies. They made great little end of year gifts for them. You can find the template at http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/resources/tutorials/backpackbox/
They look great in our Kaszazz School Days papers too.
Cheers, Tina
The weather here in Adelaide has been so warm, we had a record attendance in our swimming pool yesterday, at one time there were 19 heads bobbing around the water. My youngest son is a keen fisherman & has been nagging me constantly to go out fishing on a boat, so on Saturday I booked my partner & I, plus keen fishing son onto a Fishing Charter for the day. We had a lovely time, here is a picture of one of Tyler's catches.
We caught a variety of fish, this was Tyler's catch of the day, a GURNARD apparently they can be eaten but the have many poison spikes on their body. He kept this one for show & tell :)
We'll back to craft, below are some of the creations I have created over the holidays.
A very simple but beautiful looking card using Perfect Pearls above.
This is my version of Workshop 2H528 World Traveller Scollop Clock, I just love this. This workshop is created by Genevieve Payne. If you are interested in getting a group of friends together, pay a one off fee each for the workshop, all product supplied, I can teach you how to make this clock. Please contact me for more details.
These are the Christmas Cards I created this Christmas for our family.
Cheers, Tina
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL X
Hope you all had a fantastic time over the Christmas break.
I spent a few days camping at Rapid Bay after Boxing Day & attended 2 weddings, which were lovely. I have taken many photo's, so I am looking forward to getting back into routine & back to craft.
I would like to say a personal thankyou to all who gave me handmade christmas cards this year, they WILL not be going in the recycling bin, but treasured for ever x

While I was staying at Pam's on the weekend in Mt Gambier I bought the current issue of the "Better Homes & Gardens" magazine. The current issue has a number of paper/card projects you can make. These hearts were one of the designs & they were so easy to make. Perfect creation to make with our Kaszazz Christmas papers.
I created this card by shading & colouring the stamped image & card with pearlescent chalks. The photo does'nt really show it up but the card has a beautiful shimmer to it.
All products used are Kaszazz & I can order them for you. If you have any questions please contact me.

Hi All,
It's great to be posting on my Blog, it's been a few weeks since I've been here. Sorry about that!!
I have just returned from a "GIRLS ROAD TRIP" on Monday with fellow Kaszazz Consultants Margaret Lante & Lisa Hughes. We drove 500kms to Mt Gambier to spend some time with Pam Kuhn. We stayed at Pam's & had a wonderful time meeting other Consultants/Customers from Mt Gambier.
It was so nice just to getaway & spend some time with beautiful company, great wine, lots of lollies, chocolate & of course craft!!!
Thank you Pammy, Richard, Kyle & Amy for your hospitality xxxx
I have been creating over the past couple of weeks, but I have been keeping a little "secret squirrel" as I have been making gifts for people. I can show you some pictures of them now.
Below I created post-it note covers & monogrammed each gift with the receivers initial for a personal touch. They are such a great little gift to hand out to friends. I made them up to replace a christmas card by writing my little christmas message on the inside, on the first post-it note.
I created this star decoration by embossing the "Swirl Tree Large" Stamp with stirling silver embossing powder.
I will post two more of my recent creations tomorrow.
Cheers, Tina
I would like to formally WELCOME SANDY (Sandra) to my team. Wishing you all the best with all things "KASZAZZ"

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.
Cheers, Tina
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
Check out the ATC's I received last night at Team Meeting. So cool!! Well done girls, great Halloween creations!!! Already looking forward to November's ATC's. Get your thinking caps on :) it's -

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.

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.

Yesterday I had some creative fun with friends. A lovely new friend of mine Kathy Wilson showed me how to do teabag folding. I had never done it before. Although I found it not "my cup of tea" LOL had to say it :) pardon the pun... it is always nice to learn new things.
I created the cards below, hope you like them.
Teabag folding is a form of origami, the development is credited to Tiny (pronounced Teeny) van der Plas, who as a practitioner of origami developed the technique in 1992, as a papercraft art for embellishing greeting cards. It uses small square pieces of paper bearing symmetrical designs that are folded in such a way that they interlock and produce a 3 Dimensional version of the underlying design.
Cheers, Tina
This months Team Meeting ATC Swap theme is Halloween, here are my creations. Now girls I still want you to be suprised when you receive them!! :) Can't wait to see what you all come up with.
Cheers, Tina
Hi Everyone,
Here are some of the creations I have made over the last few days. I am finding time is a little more precious at the moment & haven't had a chance to do as many Blog War projects as I would like. Check out my participant list to the right of screen, to seen if any of the other Blog War girls have been able to get any creations posted. If you have any questions regarding my creations below, please ask. All products used are Kaszazz & I can order them for you.
Cheers, Tina
Below - Embossed Vellum with opalescent embossing powder on the vellum (just beautiful), & thick clear embossing powder on the seahorse.
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.
Cheers, Tina
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
