Newsletter and CC time at TSE

Lol – I have lumped the two of them in together, since I used the same paper range for them.
When I saw the Kaiser Sugar Sugar range of papers I knew they would be perfect for a Bazzill stitching template I had. Could not wait to pull the papers out and start stitching. I thought [...]

Chippie Highschool – Lesson one

Okay – finally got my layout for the first lesson done over the weekend. Gosh I love the way this one turned out – even though mine is not quite what it should have been. It was supposed to be holo glitter only but there were probs with mine (involving small children and loose lids) [...]

Stitching a layout frame – Afternoon Tea – by Scrap Within Reach

One of the reasons I really like Basic Grey, is because they have the most versatile background papers I know of. The soft muted patterns of what appears from a distance to be a plain colour – reveals upon closer inspection – an intricate and interesting arrangement of contrasting colours.
So I was more than impressed [...]

Naptime – Heritage Style Layouts using “Bella Bella – Bellezo”

So 123 is having a heritage month this month and I simply don’t have the photos for this (not into old photos) and tis a rare layout of mine that has a heritage look to it. But heritage it had to be – luckily for me, Wilma has in the lovely, soft papers of the [...]

Lesson 3 – Doodling

Okay – so I am soooo not a doodler. Love it when other people do it, just cannot like it on mine. But doodle I had to – since lesson 3 was all about it. The good thing was, I got to produce a layout using papers I have been dying to use – Bo [...]

This month at TSE…

Lots of exciting things are happening this month at TSE. It’s birthday month – with Mary celebrating a year of store ownership – and you get all the pressies. We kicked off the month with a great blind mini cyber-crop – what an awesome set of instructions Beth – and all month there is a [...]

Going back to school…

Chippy school that is. I tried to do this last time Scrapping Outback did a chippy school – but time and real life got in the way – so I was very excited to see that they were having another one. This time in Chippy Highschool we have lessons from inspirational scrappers such as Rachel [...]

BG Marrakesh – some tips and techniques

I am the original Prima junkie – I admit that.
I’m also a founding member and life-long President of Floraholics Anon.
But sometimes there is just not the flower you need in the style you want or colour or SOMETHING. At times like this, you need to get creative and make your [...]

More Websters Pages

Okay – so I am a bad blogger and have not posted anything up here for a bit. Sorry. Sometimes life gets in the way of scrapping.
Last month I had the great pleasure of working on more of the lovely Websters Pages papers for TSE. I must have driven poor Mary nuts asking about when [...]
