Vintage or Modern Your Choice!
July 27, 2010
I have been playing with the different Memento colour inks this week. I used rich cocoa and tuxedo black to see what the outcome would be.
So here I used the same colour set of Copic Sketch Markers on both the Gertie’s and the result was quite dramatic.
You can see by using the Rich Cocoa ink as the base turns Gertie very vintage and when used with Tuxedo Black as the base it has a more sharp modern look about her.
I am still new to the Copic markers so the colour is a little flat and needs more highlighting but I guess the more practice the better you become. I am loving the Copic markers the detailing and how you can blend colour together is absolutely amazing.
Here I have used a stamp from Stamping Bella’s Lulu Collection which isn’t available for sale online. But if your interested in purchasing from this collection please send me an email.
Thanks for stopping by.

All Smiles for the Love of Copic Markers
June 2, 2010
A very good friend of mine has been raving about copic markers. At first I thought yeah there a “nice to have item” but… I could live without them. BUT I was wrong I absolutely NEED them and can’t live without them.
I initially ordered my first set of from an overseas sight and was really excited that I could find a supplier. To my dismay they were OUT OF STOCK!!! and when they finally had them back in stock I was no longer allowed to purchase the product as you now ONLY can purchase them in the country you live in!!
Today was a good day, I have finally hooked up with a local supplier and have placed my 1st order with them today....YEAH!!!
So the good news is I now able to sell copic markers to all those that also “NEED” these awesome products.
So if you need the copic markers let me know and I can see what I can do (all smiles)
New phone, New Determination!!
May 25, 2010
It’s been awhile since I have posted anything, I had struggled to take photos and then sit down in front of the notebook upload and add news, it was all to hard.
But now I have a phone with Internet access (sadly not an iPhone) but a phone none the less.
I am so excited, I should be able to post on the run…well that’s the plan.
I have so many things I want to share with you. Watch this space.
My website is getting updated and with it a brand new store!! You will love it.

Prima Flower Challenge
March 29, 2010
Using Prima Flowers
I came across this gorgous scrapbook layout and just thought how beautiful it would look with one of my professional shots of my little girl Hayden. So I went online and bought all the materials needed to re-create this page. A very expensive page indeed…..never mind all worth it (I hope).
I can’t wait to get all my goodies and show you the finished layout.
