A CASE of copying for Fathers Day

OK, I'll admit it - not many original thoughts here!!

In the past I have been embarrassed (especially when working with Trish - the most original thinker I know!) that most of my craftwork is copied. However I have just recently discovered that copying is quite acceptable in the world of stamping, it even has it's own acronym - CASE Copy And Share Everything.

This is great news for me & following you will see why:

I have been making some Fathers Days cards (it is this Sunday 2nd Sept) & this one is cased from Trish (almost exactly!). Quite simple - abit of distress ink & the cool little fisherman is colourd with chalks.

This shirt was so cute I had to case it from here . A stamp down the bottom & abit of ribbon. Bernie wanted me to make it like a footy jernsey - cute idea, but I'm rather challenged when it comes to colouring, so stripes it is! Email me if you would like instructions on how to fold the shirt alana@ceinternet.com.au or come along to my day at Burren on the 1st Sept to make it just in time for Fathers Day.

I also thought I'd share with you some tags I made for Sam to take to school for a stall.

Here's to CASEing - I love it!

Something (not so) cute??

Awhile ago my good freind Trish set a "something cute" card swap. I started, what I thought was a good idea, then a month later I finally finished. Not sure I am happy with the end result, but it will have to do - hope they are cute enough!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Burren Junction 1/9/07

I am holding a workshop at the Burren RSL club on Sat 1st of Sept. We will be creating an album using 6 x 6 drilled covers similar (or the same if you like) as the following:

This one is a birthday book, it has a page for each month with spaces to write in family & friends birthdays. Very handy so you don't forget them - I have a terrible memory & am always forgetting.

This one is a mini album, great for when you want to scrap an event but have too many photos for one page. Also a handy present - looks great on a bookshelf or mantle.

The day will start at 9.30am & will cost between $15 & $25, depending on which type you wish to make & what embellishments you want to use. I will also throw in a fathers day card for anyone who may be running behind for Sunday 2nd.

Watch this space

12 x 12 Album

This is the cover of my favourite album (at the moment) It is an album I have started for my beautiful daughter - & yes the pic is crooked. I hadn't even noticed until my sister pointed it out - thanks sis. Anyway, I still love it, crookedness & all.

Canvas fun

Well as promised here is my first uploaded pic (2 actually). They are of a canvas table topper I made. The lovely family photos were taken when we were dressed up to go to a friends wedding, courtesy of After Image Photography, Wee Waa.

this is the back.

Hope you like it - it was lots of fun to make & has pride of place in my new buffet & hutch in our front room. It also won me a prize at our local agricultural show - very exciting!! think it was some teatowels - yippee :)

On the WEB!!!!!!!

Finally I have made the journey onto the Web!

This is where I will be sharing some of my stamping & scrapbooking creations. Hopefully there will be some people out there who will be interested in taking a look! Once I am a little more organised I will post some pics.
