Catching Up

I think it's about time I caught everyone up with the news around town...
Well, it's a big congratulations to all the new DT girls!  I know it is that time of year where alot of people get the good news and in our little gang there has definitely been some good news.  Our own beautiful Mel-Belle has been asked to join the Twiddleybitz Design Team, which is just awesome and I know she will do them proud.  And the latest addition to the Scraptivate Team is the wonderfully talents Dawn Thomas.  For those of you who aren't familiar with Dawn she does some gorgeous "off the page" projects like art dolls, journals, fabric creations and jewellery.  I am sure you will be inspired and awestruck at her beautiful creations which you are sure to see around the store now.  Now I know there are some other special guests and new members to Scraptivate and I am sure Natalie will be announcing them very soon, so hold your breath, it's going to be great!  In the meantime, if you think you would like to join the "think tank" just follow the links at the store's site and get your submissions in.  It would be lovely to see you all having a go! 

And just a quickie from me...

This is Webster's paper with a special twist!  I think is paper is just one of the most sweet children's ranges ever.  It is so beautiful and I knew as soon as I saw it I had the perfect photo to put on it.  I just love this photo of Kassidy, that little drop lip gets me every time. And the special twist?  Well, I have seen all the card makers going crazy over "it" and I decided I just had to use "it" on a layout.  This paper was an obvious choice because of the gorgeous little garland hanging from the balloons.  So after fussy cutting and 3D-ing some of those charming little vintage images I got straight into the... Flower Soft!!  Yep, I highlighted all those sweet little pastel garlands with the co ordinating Flower Soft and I must say I really like the effect. 

My next class is the Scrap-a Sketch on Thursday 24 June, 2010. If your interested call the store on 9444 6626 to make a booking.  And in the works is a great new class.  But I'll talk about that next time.

Take care of each other,

see you soon.
