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

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!!!!

PLAY DAY and CATCH UP

I'm having a PLAY DAY tomorrow with my good friend Carolyn.......it's been wayyyyyyyyyy too long since we crafted together......

I've been having fun the past few weeks crafting some cards for family birthdays coming up....

...........................and one more......using the

Fiskars Interchangeable Border Punch -  " LACY DOUBLES "....I double punched this strip to get this gorgeous pattern....I had some Cloud 9 Stickers in my stash that I added along with some Kaisercraft Pearls.

....and just to be different ....a Place Card using my NEW Butterfly Punch and Decorative Frame Stamp from STAMPIN UP...I like to off set punched out shapes and put some 3 D adhesive underneath.....

I need to get some Photos printed off soon so that I can scrap them.....it's been ages since I scrapped the grandkids.....so I'm looking forward to that when time allows...

It's a busy time around here at the moment with the WATERGARDEN SEASON!

Bus Groups are now coming up every day.....and the weekends have been busy....

Punch Crazy at the moment

I've been a bit punch crazy the past few weeks when I get some crafty time to myself!!

Here's another CHEERY CARD I created using the following FISKARS TOOLS!

Thanks to STAMPIN UP I have some wonderful cheery cardstock,papers & Ink Pads to play with also!!!

Hope to get crafty again later today!!!!

Getting out in the garden for awhile today.......need to cut back some roses and do some much needed weeding.............................then working SUNDAY at the WATERGARDEN!!

In case you missed my earlier Sneak peek Video from the BLUE LOTUS WATERGARDEN....here it is again......ENJOY!!  Make sure your sound is turned up!!!

                           Hope everyone has a great weekend!!!

Fiskars and Stampin Up - great combo

I have had some wonderful HAPPY MAIL this week from both STAMPIN UP and FISKARS so I finally had a play tonight with some of the fabulous goodies to create this fun birthday card for my great niece Kimberley who turns TWO today......

We are attending her party this afternoon......

I must admit I had such fun playing with the NEW FISKARS INTERCHANGABLE BORDER PUNCH - BANNERS AWAY....and the NEW CARTRIDGE for my FISKARS EVERYWHERE PUNCH- BURST....I thought these two punches complimented each other on this card.

Next I used my NEW STAMPIN UP Four Frames Stamp and Melon Mambo Ink Pad to stamp an image on white cardstock.

 The sentimant is also a STAMPIN UP stamp that was given to me by a friend....thanks Pam!

I used the Tempting Turquoise Ink Pad for this as I thought it looked great against the background cardstock........................also from STAMPIN UP.......thanks guys!

 I then punched out the image with my NEW STAMPIN UP Punch - Decorative Label

I love how STAMPIN UP have these co-ordinating stamps and punches.....just fabulous!!!

Paper is from the Stampin Up - Designer Series Paper

Cardstock is from Stampin Up - A4 Smooth Cardstock

Clown and flower embellishments were in my stash......thought they looked cute and added some more colour......

                                    HAPPY BIRTHDAY KIMBERLEY!

I can't wait to play some more with these fabulous tools.....that arrived today!!

.......ok.....I've played around a bit more with Kimberley's Card...just wanted to get a Number 2 on there with a Butterfly as she loves Butterflies.....and she is turning 2

So I used my NEW Stampin Up Ink Pads - Tempting Turquoise, Daffodil Delight  and .......Melon Mambo along with my NEW Stampin Up Butterfly Punch

It probably is a bit overloaded now with Embellishments...but hey.....this is for a Child's Birthday....so I'm sure she'll love all the little touches.....

Now I just need to wrap her present and I'm ready to PARTY!!!!!

                        

       Have a  lovely weekend everyone!!!

gotta' love Happy Mail from " Stampin Up"

 This wonderful box arrived today from STAMPIN UP...thanks guys!!!

Ooh can't wait to play with all these fabulous products.....I've already ripped open the two Punches...Butterfly and Decorative Frame..............LOL!  Love how these punches have a lock on them for storing and travelling with them.....fabulous idea!

Hope to have some time to play later today.......I have a few fun projects in mind.....thanks to Sophie for sending these to me.......

Have been catching up on housework today after working the past 4 days at the WATERGARDEN.....hubby did his hamstring on Saturday....so I have had extra shifts of work.

Rod is at the Specialist today ..................re-his kidney stone.....hope all is well...he's having a bad trot to start the year......Health Wise.....

Looking forward to catching up with Carolyn and Jim tomorrow for lunch and then taking them around to the WATERGARDEN.....and SAM(grandson) is coming up for another overnight stay tomorrow afternoon.......

This pic was taken October 2010 the day that Carolyn and Jim headed off around Australia in their HUGE BUS

They have flown back to Melbourne for a few weeks and then they fly back to Perth to continue their Adventures around Australia.
