Paperific

The credit card bills are coming in thick and fast now but this photo is of all of the free Make and Takes. The Collections card takes pride of place in the front, always a highlight with Jen and Julie and well worth the 90 minute wait (we just spent more on Collections stuff).

Some of the make and takes on offer were very average but I promised to bring them home to Sarah. It's cheaper to leave her at school and spend the entire Friday at the show without returning ovet the rest of the weekend. I did 8 out of the 11 stands that had them, two of the make and takes were different items from Pipedreamlink using Opals, another very popular stand.

Sarah's favourite is the pink (Stazon) stamped acetate heart.

Little Bits Class

It was a while ago now but this Liz Aitken class was the best I have done in a long while. First we made a piano hinge book and then a pendant. We used lots of Collections, German Scrap, Paper Whimsy, transparencies and bits and pieces. Teresa has a better camera than I do, check her pics - www.thetamarisk.blogspot.com. Thanks Liz, can't wait to see what you come up with next (no pressure LOL).

Lovely Teresa took these photos for me, I was getting nervous about getting them in on time (yes Vanessa, she is a tyrant). I completed my pages at Teresa's a month ago but forgot to take my camera. Teresa is the hostess with the mostest at the moment, working hard on the covers for our books and compiling all the pages that must be flooding in, the due date is 22/9. A group of Victorian die hards will be assembling soon after. I can't imagine a book project so big!

Arty Oz Collaborative Book

31 Artists contributing this year, the theme being Woman. As usual I try to think outside the square, I was determined not to use a vintage woman image, instead stamping out a beautiful vintage shoe. What says Woman more than shoes?!

House book

Aaaarrrrgggghh. Another swap I signed up for, this one was intriguing, 19 or so others have signed up too! We all have the same house template to make our pages and choose our theme. The hostess chooses 2 themes per month and we all make those pages and send to the owners. The first theme chosen was "Glass House" for Nikki. She likes reflective surfaces and mirrors so I used silver foil board and mirror tiles, I hope she likes my page, I am never too sure about what to do when I haven't done anything like this before. The words behind the door are (with apologies to Blondie) ...Once had a love and it was a gas, soon turned out had a house of glass!

another tag book page...

This one is Debra's, with the theme of Angels. The photo is not the best but I loved doing this page and hope Deb loves it too.

This... is lucky Gail's Book!

This collaborative tag book has been around Australia and I was the last to work in Gail's book. Her title page is Birds of a Feather and the last page is now Flock Together.
