It's the first day of winter here in New Zealand and it's a STUNNER so have a terrific day!

bead angels

Last night on Crafters Anonymous Kristine McNickle taught us how to make beaded angels - but my first attempt wasn't at all 'angelic' so I decided to have a go using less traditional angelic colours!

Well actually it was the only beads I had that fitted as I couldn't find longer safety pins - YES safety pins - that's what you use to make these babes! I have since got some more bits so will try and produce a 'angelic angel' soon!

thanks for stopping by!

the above was the ingredients and method for a RECIPE challenge we did last weekend on our Australian Biggest Morning Tea fundraiser. This recipe was written by Dee - only my friend Dee would put a 'toothpick' as part of a paper crafting challenge! lol I did manage to meet all the requirements - just and I made this cupcake topper!

a cute chocolate cup cake box

This was another project from our Crafters Anonymous Australia's Biggest Morning Tea event last weekend. I would call this a 'rolled box', the way it comes together is like rolling a sponge! lol I kept to my Early Espresso colour and Morning Mocha DSP. You may ask - where's the cupcake? DUH - in my tum! hehe - as you can imagine anything chocolate doesn't last long around here!!!! hee hee

fat free cake anyone???

this is a zero fat and sugar cake! hehe mind you if you put chocolates inside the box that would change that! This was the project we did with Suzanne, we made the flower out of punches and dropped a few drops of Crystal Effects to make it look pretty! AND talk about looking pretty - what about my new blog!!!! isn't it flash! Thanks heaps to Tia Routledge who gave my blog the much needed make over!

thanks for visiting

Testing New Siggy

Yep it works!!!

cup cake card

Isn't this so cute!!! Kristine McNickle taught us her version of the flower pot card at our event on Sunday. What the pictures don't show is the pull out part is like a 'a frame' so that is what holds up both the card when pulled out and while standing! I have loaded Kristine's sample below so you can see how it works - BRILLIANT!!! In the past when making this style of card I've put a 'W' in the bottom part to make it stand up but this way is WAY easier! Thank you Kristine for such a cool version!!!!!
