On the scrap front.....the last ones for 2009.

This one was made as a gift for Jhane's best friend for Christmas. We framed it and gave it to her.


Here's a couple of others I did just because....






These one's were made using the DT kit I was sent to play with by Jo at Scrap of Difference. Certainly different colours to what I was used to playing with but so much fun to play with that's for sure. I love a challenge and this kit had so much stuff in it that I was able to complete heaps of layouts. Even got to play with a stitching template for this one too. Thanks again Jo for another great kit.









Okay.. so that's the last of the layouts for 2009... have already got heaps to upload for 2010.. now to just get the organised and uploaded.

Stamp Factory Stamping Fun

With the birthday season here upon us in the Wallace household (October we had 2 kids, 1 niece,1 brother in law, and 1 Pops birthday) it can get quite busy with wrapping presents.. not to mention the cost that is involved with all that wrapping paper too !

My daughter decided this year to delay her party until the new vampire movie "New Moon" was out so she could take her friends to the movies for her birthday. We like to make up the goodie bags ourselves and each year look for some fun way to pack them. So we have been busy today making up little goodie boxes for the girls to take home with them when the leave after the sleep over. I had some cute little noodle boxes you can get really cheap from the $2 shop that were crying to be played with. Pulling out some bright Heidi Grace paper,bling and ribbon we set to work. Though the boxes weren't quite complete until we decided to play around with some stamps. Now normally I am not real keen on my kids using my stamps... mainly due to the fact you find ink in places that it really SHOULDN'T be afterwards! Though since having the Fiskars Stamp factory the kids are freely able to use the stamps. No messy ink everywhere and a clean stamp print every time ! I love that. Now I don't have to help them with the stamping.. they can do it all by themselves. I have even taught my daughter how to line it up using the Fiskars Craft mat so that she get the image in the same spot every time! Plus with having to do up large quantities of goodie boxes using the stamp factory saved so much time with being able to stamp multiples very quickly.
Here's our end results:


Off to ice the cake... mmmmm wonder how I couldn't use the stamp factory for that ??? lol.. perhaps to stamp little scalloped tags for each of the candles...

TFL, Michelle :)

A hot day but nice and cool for the crop here....

Here's the goodies that we created last weekend at the Fiskars crop we had here in Adelaide....

Mini Pyramid box.. perfect as an advent calendar box on the christmas tree

Peek a boo box.. great for giving those homemade choccies away in

Gift card holders.. for the gift that needs a bit of dress up

Christmas crackers.. my kids have decided to make these for their class mates gifts this year.. so easy and quick !

Note card basket and notecards.. perfect as a little gift for the teacher!


Was a great way to round off an exciting year here in Adelaide. Everyone was able to see a few of the new templates that are coming into Spotlight in the new year and play with a couple of really yummy punches. Lots of laughs were had by all and we all managed to stay nice and cool inside with some yummy Pavlova I had prepared especially for the occasion. Thanks again to everyone that attended and looking forward to seeing you all in the new year when we start up with the crops again.

Cheers, M x
