I am ohhhh soooo late with this post :(
On one of the Stampin’ Up! forums I’m a member of  it had a post asking for some assistance with tutorials to sell to help raise funds to buy a new chair for a very special little boy…. so I decided to help out with writing a tutorial.  I was lucky enough that the ladies at the Helping Hudson crew let me write three tutorials…………..here’s Hudson’s story
Hudson is the 2 ½ year old son of a fellow Aussie Stampin’ Up! demonstrator, but unlike most children his age, he has had a tough little life!  Doctors realised he had an incomplete brain before he was born and as a newborn he was discovered to be legally blind.  Hudson has recently been diagnosed with both Cerebral Palsy and Epilepsy.  His mobility has been hindered severely by his disabilities, however his family and friends wish nothing more than to give him the chance to get moving on his own. Hudson needs a special Wheelchair/Walker, called a Kid Walker. This device will help get him mobile, allow him to play with his brother and sister, interact with other children his own age and give him independence in his day to day life!
This is where the stamping world really comes into play! There is a HUGE online stamping event taking place, called Helping Hudson -A Wheely Great Cause!  The organisers have been working really hard, securing support, tutorials and donations to get this event underway. There are going to be three weeks of stamping fun for you to join in – it kicks off  today and will run right through until 22 August.  
Bundles of tutorials kindly donated by Stampin’ Up! demonstrators the world over, are available for purchase.  Each bundle has 10 fun-filled tutorials for just AU$10!  There are six themes to choose from: Bags & Boxes, Christmas, Kids’ Birthdays, Projects for Men & Boys, Punch Art & Scrapbooking. There’s even a FREE bonus bundle if you buy four or more. WOW how exciting! All proceeds go directly to help Hudson.
The Helping Hudson Crew will also be posting some awesome challenges throughout the three weeks. For a small donation you can join in and be in the running for some FANTASTIC Stampin’Up! Prize packs, kindly donated by Stampin’ Up! Australia (Aussie participants only).  Also keep your eyes peeled for challenges over at Just Add Ink and Stamp A Memory too.
And we would love you to help spread the word too. Check out the ‘Spreading The Word’ page at the site for all you need to know to get the word out to as many people as you can.

There has been alot going on over at Helping Hudson, so exciting & so inspirational, you really should go over & check it out.
Here are some pics of the tutorials I wrote up for the cause
This tutorial is in the Scrapbooking bundle

I did this tutorial for the Masculine bundle.
The bundles really are a bargain & they have been written by some very talented ladies :)
So if you’d like a little inspiration & ALOT of bargain filled tutorials pop on over to help out with raising money to help with Hudson’s chair

Heydo ho how are you ging today?  It’s been nearly a WHOLE MONTH…..my oh my where does the time go?  I had made a promise to myself to get here much more regularly, but it just hasn’t happened :(  

We has school holidays, then Robby’s nanna died & we had to have a trip to Perth for her funeral (which was lovely).  While we were in Perth we wanted to take the kids somewhere special so the trip wasn’t all sad.  We went to the Perth Zoo which we haven’t done for TOOOO LONG!!! They had a ball, we did some shopping & just enjoyed time with family. 

After we got home from Perth I had to get myself organised because I was heading back down to the big smoke by myself.  I went down for a wonderful stamp camp & then headed over to Sydney to spend a couple of days with some very special ladies :)

I was very kindly invited to stay with Leonie Schroder & Lisa Ryder for a little while & took the opportunity to go over & finally meet some wonderful ladies I’ve been friends with over the internet for a wee while :)
While I was over there I made a couple of wonderful projects which I will endeavour to take pics of soon & show you, but today I’m going to show you this little folder I made AGES ago :)
Here is the front view of it

 & an open view

In the left pocket I have popped 3 cards & on the right is some little Scallop Envelopes with note cards inside, some Hot Chocolate & some die cuts from the big shot in a little cello bag.  I don’t know that I have a close up of the card, but once I finish unpacking my suitcase & find my camera I’ll take some pics & pop in here.

The colours I have used are Soft Suede & Pink Pirouette. 

Well I really must dash now, Tom is home with quite a bad cold & I need to take him to Mingenew to see the LOVELY Silver Chain Nurse down there.  :)

I will be back soon, I promise & I do think it’s about time for some blog candy because I keep getting hits even though I’m not posting.    THANKYOU!!!!

Till next time…….keep smiling :)

Well well here I am again, I hope this all goes to plan & shows up on Thursday.  I’m doing these scheduled posts because at the moment I have the time to sit & write & I don’t know if I will over the next couple of weeks with it being school holidays here right now. 

This post today (& the next couple too) is showing you another wonderufl gift I received in the mail.  Again it has been a little while since I received it & I am sorry Christine for taking so long in posting……but……LIFE, tell me, who said it ws allowed to get in the way of stamping?????? Lol

Here is the gorgeous gift Christine Healey sent me

It is a wonderful file folder full of goodies……there is a yummmmmy block of chocolate in a pouch (it’s so sweeeet), some envelopes made using the Scallop Envelope Bigz Die  & inserts to go inside them & then there is this GORGEOUS GORGEOUS GORGEOUS card .  I LOVE LOVE LOVE everything about this creation, isn’t it just wonderful :D

I have honestly not eaten the chocolate & I received it in May so I think it is now time to go & indulge

Hello hello & a Happy Tuesday to you……………I hope you are having a good one & are not too cold where-ever you ar today.  I’m feeling it a little here, so have just popped the heater into my craft room to warm it up a little so I can do some of those jobs that have been waiting for what seems like for-evahhhhhhhhhhhh

Today I have a picture of a lovely gift I was sent by the very talented & lovely Liam Pucher

This is a gorgeous little easle drawer, it has some lovely note cards inside. 

You should pop on over to Liam’s blog, she has some incredible tutorials over there.

Hi there, today I’m going to show you a creation I made a couple of weeks ago.  I saw this gorgeous little bird house a little while ago & thought I’d give it a go, this is what I came up with

I created a card to match with the birdhouse. I really enjoyed playing with Melon Mambo, it is such a fun colour to use.

The colours I’ve co-ordinated with it are Whisper White & Kraft. 

Here’s one I’ve created in Baja Breeeze

I hope you’ve enjoyed looking at my creations today.

I’ll catch you again soon

Good arvy to you, I hope your day is going splendidly :)

Today I am going to show you a box of cards I have created today.  I thoroughly enjoyed my bit of time I’ve spent in my craft room….the itchy fingers are enjoying the workout ;)

Here it is

In all honesty I think this is the only creation I’ve been totally happy with using Pacific Point…..hmmmm maybe I should try using it a little more, it makes perfect male cards.

Here is one of the cards that’s inside the box

The base for the card is Whisper White & I’ve used some Good Morning Sunshine dsp, then topped it with a piece of Summer Sun cardstock.  I stamped the Loads of Love image onto Water Colour paper with Staz On ink & coloured it using my Aquapainter & ink.  I mounted this onto a piece of Riding Hood Red & then popped that onto the Summer Sun.

The greeting down the bottom of the card is from the set On Your Birthday, stamped in Staz On.

I made 3 cards with the Riding Hood Ribbon with a red ute & then 3 cards using the Pacific POint ribbon with a blue ute.  I also used some Circle & some Star brads…….

I think this well be given to one of my childrens swimming teachers……I’ve got this week & next to organise another 2 gifts……hmmm what will I make, I must get my thinking cap on.

I hope you have enjoyed looking at what I’ve created today & I hope it might have inspired you to use some colours you don’t normally use?? :D

Till next time (which I’m going to schedule now so keep your eyes peeled over the next couple of days)……Keep Smiling :D

Today I’m going to show you a bag I’ve made to send to a friend.  In the bag I’ve included some cards & a little pillow box with some yummy smelling soap :)

Here is a pic of the whole set together

I’ve made a box in a bag & then I decided to make 6 cards to pop inside it.  Also I used my new Pillow Box Die that goes in my Big Shot & made the cutest little box that is home for a small soap.

Here’s the Pillow Box

& a close up of the flower

Here is a sample of the cards I included in the bag

I had alot of fun making this gift.  I know it’s going to be loved where it is going to :)

I hope you are having a great week, it’s back to being busy here atm, so stamping & blogging is having to take a back seat for a bit, hopefully i”ll be back with a little more later in the week.

Keep smiling :D

Hello there,  Baja Breeze would have to be one of if not my favourite colour.  It goes so well with many many colours.  Today’s project has Baja Breeze combined with Pink Pirouette & Chocolate Chip.

I made this set to send to a friend for her birthday earlier this year.

This is the card & pouch together

For the pouch I used the retired Parisian Breeze Speciality dsp, I just love these papers.
Here’s the pouch

And a picture of the card by itself

All supplies Stampin’ Up!

Stamps:  Friends 24-7, Whimsical Words, Baroque Motifs

Ink:  Choc Chip, Baja Breeze

Cardstock:  Parisian Breeze Speciality dsp, Baja Breeze, Choc Chip, Whisper White

Accessories:  Flower Fusion Too, Wide oval Punch, Double Stitched Choc Chip 1″Grosgrain ribbon, 5/8″ Choc Chip Grosgrain ribbon, Silver brads

These cards are so easy to make & the Flower Fusion gives the card that little more of a lift.

If you’d love to make some cards like these or even the whole set at a workshop e-mail me today on tanya@stampnchat.com & we can organise a time & date to catch up, I’d love to show you how to do these.

Thanks for stopping by today.

Hi, today I am going to show you 2 little albums I made over the weekend.

The lovely Gardenia set a challenge for us on ESAD-SU ( a forum for Australian & New Zealand Stampin’ Up! demonstrators) to make a Circle flip up album, you can find the tutorial here on Splitcoast Stampers.  I was determined to give it a go & got out a heap of papers, some cardstock & stamps I thought would all go.  I sa t down to create, cut out the circles &………………………………..nothing else wanted to happen, things just didn’t seem right.  So I sat & hashed a heap of things out before I decided to have a look in the Simply Scrappin Kits I have…….& then it all came together to create this

Now I wasn’t totally happy with it but thought oh it will do…..but I couldn’t finish with that. I HAD to make one I was really happy with & this is what I came up with…………….

 

With this album I sponged the edges a little & distressed them too.  I’m loving how it turned out!!! YAY :D

I used the Sweet Nothings Simply Scrappin kit & it made it so easy to finish this off.  In all honesty I think it took me about 30 minutes in total & then the photo’s…….I must add some more Simply Scrappin Kits to my next order & I think I’ll have to give some cards a go with the leftovers.

So I hope you are having a wonderful Sunday & I’ll be posting a challenge I’m setting for ESAD tomorrow, see you then :)
