Family holiday time!


Wonder hubby and I both turned 40 this year and we’re celebrating with a big overseas holiday with our boys.

We met last century while backpacking in the USA, went back there to get engaged and also honeymooned there so we have a bit of a soft spot for that big old place. We love to travel but just didn’t find it appealling with babies or small children so have hardly been anywhere in the past decade!  We realised a few years ago that this year would be the perfect year to hit the road again so we’ve been planning this trip for so long it’s hard to believe we’re actually going now.

We’ll be on the road for most of April, starting in Hawaii, then heading over for a road trip from Los Angeles to Arizona and back again in a great big circle. We’ll end the trip by doing all the big theme parks in California and we’re all so excited!

I will attempt to be in contact occasionally but can’t promise anything. This is a family trip after all. Have a wonderful month.

Cheers,

Genna

Serene Silhouettes at sunset

Serene Silhouettes Wood $42.95 or Clear $33.95

I adore silhouette stamps and these are one of my favourites. They’re just irresistible. And I love stamping them in black over colour. The possibilities are literally endless.


This series of cards was made for my Catalogue Launch back in September so I thought it was time I shared them with those who couldn’t make it.
 THE PRINTABLE PHOTO RECIPE CARD IS AVAILABLE TO MY NEWSLETTER SUBSCRIBERS. Subscribe for free today and let me know you’d like this one.


I loved the first card so much I had to keep playing and made a couple of other variations using a different stamp and some Daffodil Delight grosgrain ribbon and the Itty Bitty Banners stamps and framelits (below).


If you like what you see leave me a comment to let me know.

His Awesomeness Stamps

Would you believe that his awesomeness had never stamped before? In five years of me being a demonstrator I don’t think he’s ever put ink to rubber, let along make a whole card by himself.

Well that’s all changed now. And here’s the proof!

It was Mother’s Day in the UK yesterday and since his mother is visiting from England he decided he should mark the day in style. And because I had some lovely ladies over for a class and had all the supplies out he took us by surprise and joined us at the table. It was certainly a novelty and caused much amusement.

But… although we mocked, what he created was rather impressive. It might have been based on one of my designs but the work was all by his own fair hands.

 

And it was very much appreciated and enjoyed by his mum. And that’s what counts. Mr Awesome strikes again!

I’m sure the Wonder Husband would appreciate a few comments on this one – go on, you know you want to.

Cheers

MARCH CLASS – Easter Goodies

Easter is early this year so it’s time to get making those little gifts and treats for the occasion. In this month’s class we’ll be making a card, a gift box and a yummy chocolate flower:

  Thursday 7th MARCH

8pm – 11pm

NARRE WARREN

$20 per person OR $10 with discount*

OR

Friday 8th MARCH

10am – 1pm

NARRE WARREN

$20 per person OR $10 with discount*

Children able to entertain themselves in the next room are welcome!

OR

Sunday 10th MARCH

2pm – 5pm

NARRE WARREN

*ALL CLASS ATTENDEES CAN GET A $10 DISCOUNT ON THE CLASS FEE BY PLACING AN ORDER OF $100 OR MORE ON THE DAY

The Tri-Shutter card features papers from the Birds of a Feather pack. And when it opens out there are some hidden surprises!

The mini milk carton is made using the Big Shot and is just perfect for filling with M&Ms or mini eggs so you can give just a small amount of chocolate  –  making it a great choice for those not wanting to overindulge or for the kids who’ll be getting bucket loads from everyone!

 

And finally, an elegant single ‘flower’ that’s good enough to eat! 

This project is my newly designed version of one I’ve been demonstrating at workshops lately (see below) – which was inspired by my friend Kathryn Manglesdorf from Adelaide.
