OK it's a new year and time for a few new things to try!

So let's take a quick look at the Basic supplies you will need and how to use wax stamps to create beautiful wax seals.... Read more →
Join me as I learn to use my brand new Cricut Maker machine to create DIY tabs and titles for my planner. These are all projects you can make with your Cricut Maker right out of the box, all you will need is a little vinyl in the colors of your choice. The last 18 months have been challenging (I think we can all agree) and have made me realize the absolute importance of self-care, something I've been pretty awful... Read more →
Recently I was lucky (so so lucky) to be sent a fabulous box of the most amazing metal castings from Mitform, as part of their Toolbox program.

So let me tell you a little about these Mitform Castings and show you my very first project using these beauties. TO start with these are... Read more →

You guessed it - we are going to alter and Up-cycle some paper flowers, because no-one likes to have random flowers hanging about that you can't use! Keep reading and we will take a... Read more →
Just a quick little clip today, I thought I'd share how I change the colour of paper flowers that aren't quite right for the project I want to use them on. This technique is wonderful, as not only is the colour coverage excellent but it also makes the flower more durable - so it's great for projects that may get a bit of wear! Now there isn't a whole lot to this technique so I won't fuss about creating photo... Read more →

Hello from sunny Queensland! I've recently been bitten by the Washi Bug (no settle down Mum this has nothing to do with laundry!) and have started collecting a few rolls. First thing that struck me though, is that I was going to pretty much need one of every colour if I was going to be able to use it in my very colourful and usually never-the-same-colours-twice projects. Dilemma - because in March (I hope) we will be moving into our... Read more →
