finally back in the swing!

It's been a long time.. hopefully there are still some people out there that check my blog!! If not - well I'll have to rustle up some viewers!!
It's school holidays, and I've got kids classes on. I have two themes going - "butterflies" and "punch art". The kids I've had so far are REALLY creative, and have done an awesome job! I forgot to get pics, but have more classes next week, so will try and remember.
Here's a peek at one of the projects we are making in the buttefly class.

This is a keyring made from felt put through the Big Shot with the Beautiful butterflies die. Yep - the Big Shot cuts felt. It cuts cork and soft drink cans too - but more on that later!

I blatantly stole this idea from Bronwyn Eastley - an incredibly talented Aussie demo - along with a few other ideas too! But those I'll post another day!

Long time no post :(

I’m not sure what has been going on with my computer, but since I moved house, my computer and blogger are no longer friends :( I can’t post anything, or even look at other people’s awesome creations. I am starting to get withdrawal!! I am writing this at my parents place, to see if it will work! If it does, I will put all my pics on a USB drive, and commandeer their computer for a while and schedule some posts in advance.

I have the photos of my convention swaps (plus the swaps I received in return – but I’ll only post some because I have HEAPS!!) – but no photos of the actual convention cos I was having WAY too much fun to take pics!! Plus some new creations with new catty product.

That won’t help with looking at other people’s work, but at least I can keep working on that!!

first dance

The Big Shot dies are twice as versatile as you may think - cut out the shape, and you also have the negative to use as a frame. Perfect for this picture of the couple having their first dance. The butterflies are non-SU! - these were their place cards.

the bride

Jordan saved a button hole and pressed it, and really wanted to use it in the scrapbook. So we cut out a scallop envelope to sit it in.

Cutting the cake

The Big Shot came in handy again here - The frame around the photo is actually two top notes cout out and put together. The ribbon is non-SU! Such a simple layout, but I really like it.
