Hi crafty friends,
Today has been a busy puppy day. All of our little fur babies have had their first needles and Microchipping. They all have a clean health record and I'm getting ready for their forever homes. On the weekend we all visited Santa and had Santa photos. That was awesome. The look on everyones faces when we kept pulling out gorgeous little Cavies one after another. Priceless! I'm getting excited for my big blog hop with Pootles in the UK. I must admit I'm a little starstruck but i've got an extra special project to share with you. That's on Sunday evening the 4th December. I still have lots more on this week as well as our super duper card class on this Friday. So, If you're in Coffs Harbour, come along and I guarantee you will have a great time.
Till next time,
Stay Crafty

Hi Crafty Friends,
Today I've taken Part in the ESAD Holiday Catalogue Favourite Products Blog Hop. It was difficult to decide on one or two faves as there are so many but here goes.
All time favourite and most used by far is the Cookie Cutter Christmas bundle. I have used this everywhere I can think of. My favourite card would be the fold out pop up card on the left. It really has that Wow factor when you open it up.
I've also made little Tic Tac characters with the Cookie Cutter bundle and Shrinky Dink earrings.
They are just too cute!
My second favourite is the Star of Light bundle. Whilst I have mainly used this for Christmas themed cards and projects, I can see many uses for it outside of this area. New Year and Birthdays are just a couple.
I hope you have enjoyed what I've made. I look forward to seeing you again.
Till next time,
Stay Crafty,

Hi Crafty Friends,
Today I've taken part in a new challenge. It's the Just Add Ink colour challenge #338
.
I've made 3 cards all using watercoloring techniques with re-inkers and watercolour cardstock. I particularly love doing this technique as every card is unique.
The first card features the beautiful dragonfly thinlit from the upcoming Occasions catalogue. I have also used stamps from it's bundle stamp set, Dragonfly Dreams.
The second card is a shaker card. I've used stamps from Totally Trees and the Square Layering Framelits to make the window.
The final card i've roughed up a bit and distressed the edges of the watercolour panel. Then I've placed another of the Detailed Dragonfly Thinlits over the top.
You may notice the splotchy effect of the watercoloring. This has been achieved by placing rock salt over my watercolour paper straight after adding my colour from the re-inkers. As the ink dries, the rock salt draws it in towards the centre, thus achieving a totally unique result.
I hope you have enjoyed my cards as much as I did making them. Hopefully I will see you all again soon.
Stay Crafty,
XO Tan
