Lyn's thoughts..........

Nice to be creating again

I must admit I am really enjoying being able to scrap my grand shildern at the moment....here's another LAYOUT for GEMMA'S ALBUM......

Thanks to Fynmark for the yummy products from RUBY ROCKIT RANGE.....NOSTALGIA!!! I sure had fun using it with my Layouts of GEMMA!!!!

I've also managed to create some fun cards whilst away in EAST GIPPSLAND.....so now I'm a little bit ahead of myself with FAMILY BIRTHDAY CARDS......sh,sh...................................

Whilst in SPOTLIGHT BAIRNSDALE I spied this gorgeous OWL STAMP and thought I'd like to play around with it.....so here's what I came up with.....once again thanks to FISKARS for the TOOLS and FYNMARK for the cards and papers.......these two companies are so generous to me.....love you guys!

I'm working on another LAYOUT at the moment....a work in progress using some TOOLS and PRODUCTS from STAMPIN UP......will share soon.....

I finally SCRAPPED!!!!

               I have finally scrapped some fun LAYOUTS of GEMMA and SAM (grandkids)

I have finished 4 LAYOUTS and 7  Cards so far this past week......so that's wonderful for me....it's been lovely to sit and craft uninterupted down here in Paynseville.

I have caught up with Family Birthday Cards for the next few months and have finished 2 LAYOUTS for each of the grandkids......I have another LAYOUT planned out and hope to complete by tomorrow.

Caught up with Kay for lunch today at the Fickle Fig.......love this place.

Back soon with more crafty shares.................off for another walk along the Foreshore to soak up some more Sea Air.

Thanks to Fiskars and Fynmark for the yummy products that I have used on this LAYOUT.

Products from Ruby Rock It Nostalgia Range,Bella Paper Boy Paperz Range,Bella Cards  and the NEW Fiskars Groovy Rainbow Interchangebale Border Punch.

 

The first thing I do when I get

a NEW Fiskars Border Punch is add it's design to my Punch Design Ring......

So I've had fun creating a FEW new designs to my Interchangeable BorderPunch Ring

This is a great way of remembering which punch designs I have.....I have also done this for my older Fiskars Border Punches and Embossing Border Punches!

It's also handy to have this with me when I'm OUT and ABOUT to show others the fun designs that are NOW available through your Local Craft Stores!

I'm in EAST GIPPSLAND this week and I've spotted some of these NEW Interchangeable Border Punches on the shelves.....in SPOTLIGHT BAIRNSDALE!

Retailers can order the entire range of the  Fiskars Interchangeable Border Punches from Wholesaler SSS ....

                                     

.....AND yes......I have been playing around with these fun punches...here's a Birthday Card I created for my son's partner.......I just love creating whilst in Paynesville...............hoping to craft more later today and all this week.

For this card I used the "Daisy Chain Starter Set " and " Groovy Rainbow " Interchangeable Border Punches and some product from the Bella Nostalgia Range.......

                                       HAPPY PUNCHING!!!!

What a fun day

It was so nice to have Carolyn up here last Wednesday......it's been ages since we crafted together. Gosh I look so tired in this pic......LOL! Looks like my hair has been through the wringer....he,he.

Thanks to to Jim for taking this pic of the two of us with our Cards.....

I was able to show Carolyn how to make a Step Card......so she happily made a few of these fun cards.....using the NEW Fiskars Interchangeable Border Punches and some of the Stampin Up product that I have here.....

We had a lovely day......chatting away and crafting.....we also took a lunch break for an hour or so....so I took Carolyn up to the Patchwork Tea House in Warburton for lunch.

Hasn't Carolyn done a fabulous job of her cards.....can you see where she used the NEW Fiskars Interchangebale Punches? She also loved using the Fiskars Everywhere Punch - BURST!

These are the two cards I created during the day..........................

Rod came home with these gorgeous flowers for me  in the afternoon.......

They are still going strong in our kitchen.....

Carolyn and Jim have now returned to Perth ! It was so nice to see them again!

I'm working 6 days a week as from MONDAY at the WATERGARDEN......4 days in the Boutique, SUNDAY in the CAFE and Thursday doing Rod's shift in the NURSERY / GARDEN SHOP....so no rest for the wicked for the next 7 weeks.......we'll be hanging out to get down to our HH in Payensville come APRIL......kids have booked the house for the first 2 weeks in APRIL....so looks like it won't be until mid APRIL before we get down there......we may even go away for a few days somewhere else ....just for a break over EASTER
