Been Productive!!

We had a birthday in the house!
Locky turned 11. (Where has the time gone) :0(
We now have another budding film director in the house as he got a video camera for his birthday, mind you he had to put part of his own savings towards it.
He had a couple of friends sleep over to celebrate,, but I don't think there was to much sleep involved,,,

Locky out for the count at about 11.30am the morning following the sleep over(had to be quick with the camera and my little machine doesn't really like taking shots indoors)


His mate Sean out for it on the other couch at the same time.

Hope you all had a wonderful break over the Easter. I did!! Still got the non Easter Bunny believers up at the crack of dawn for the egg hunt. Well actually Easter Bunny whispered in my ear at the crack of dawn 'we better do the hunt before the sun melts the eggs'. Now we can't have melted chocolate in this house. LOL

Erin getting into the spirit of things.

Even got some creating done.

A work in progress.

Rick painting his monsters for a War Hammer army,,,
For the first time in a while we got some creating done side by side.

Got a 12"x12" Tile canvas finished for my sister's birthday.






This one was done a couple of weeks back using the new Collections Inchies,,,would hate to have to cut inch square tiles out. I'm getting a thing for inchies (1"x1"squares). The tiles on the canvas above are about an inch and a half so I'm going smaller!!!!




So it's been a productive week, even got a class sample made. So I'm happy, I'd be even happier if the housework fairy paid me a visit.LOL
Take Care

Been Shaped Again!!!

Shaped; computer jargon, meaning we have used up all our downloads and are waiting for the new month to start.
The computer is on a go slow :0(

This always happens to me!!! The one who uses the computer the least! LOL I've been told by the boys that it will be back to normal by midnight tonight.
Apparently I have 35mins to upload some pics before the computer runs slow again so here goes. Less talk more pics.
I didn't get time to take a lot of good pics of the samples made from the new Collections products for SIA 2009, really only got sneak peek shots, when I get better shots I will share again.
Supa Letter embossed on the Cuttlebug embellished with the new wings.

That's it for now.
Have a wonderful Easter break and stay safe.

More Eye Candy

Another quick post
If you are after any of the new Collections products contact your local paper craft store to see when they have their orders arriving.

For your chance to win a sample of all the new products, check out Maxine's blog.

The background paper is part of the new Baroque papers, new scrolls and flourishes from Collections.

Where do I Start??

Well SIA has come and gone. What a huge few weeks Julie Max and Myself have had. I think I'm going to sleep well tonight. (that's if I can turn my busy creative brain down to get some sleep). I know we have had some of you hanging out to find out what we have been up to.

I met some beautiful people at SIA, some very creative souls, some old friends, got the chance to put some faces to names I knew. It was fantastic. Our feet hit the ground full speed as soon as we landed in Sydney, we got straight to work.
These photo's are not the best, I almost forgot to get the camera out, but here goes.

Pre set up


Part of the Display





Beautiful ladies, Tenaha, Rhonda, Julie, Ngaire and Evana


The Make'n'Takes were a great success again this year




Barbara and Nicky's (hope I got your names right girls)


Sherry and the girls that helped make everything run smoothly (sorry girls can't remember your names, just know that one of you wasn't really a scrapbooker LOL,)


Beautiful creative soul Teresa


The Geraldton Girls


Carol Wingert, the international guest tutor and speaker, such a sweet, inspirational lady.

It's getting late and I can hardly keep my eyes open, thought I'd better share some eye candy. I hope to get back on here tomorrow to share some more.

Once again Julie from Collections has come up with inspirational product to use in our creations, I can't pick a single piece I can say is my favorite as I love all of it.

3D Boxes. The start of about 20 new products.







need to get some sleep will be back as soon as I can to share so much more.

The creative juices have been over flowing, I love what Julie has come up with, yet again and can't wait to be able to share with you what we've been up to. Only just over a week until SIA (Scrapbooking Industry Australia) Trade show. Once I'm back, I'll be able to share what I've created and how it all went.

Some News

Finally some news. Max and I have been creating up a storm. We are now officially teaching classes around Perth and beyond. We only just decided this a couple of weeks ago, mainly because what we were planning, has to go on hold until after the end of this financial year. Its all good though.
So if you like what you see on our blogs, ask your local paper craft store if they have any of our classes in the pipe line. Over the next couple of weeks we will post where you can find us. Or you can always pop me an email.

You know what this means though????????????? I don't have much eye candy to share, because everything I've been creating is for classes and for Julie from Collections.(although a sneak peek here and there wouldn't be a bad idea). I think her nick name might have to be,,,,,,,,, 'the Queen of Chipboard' LOL. Her new products to be release at

SIA

at the end of this month in Sydney are brilliant, they inspire me so much, you've got to see them. She has popped a couple of peeks on her blog.

This one made by Max.


This one made by Julie.


I will share more real soon.


Well if you are a fan of Maxine's blog also, you may have notice a blog post,,,,,,,OMG!!! we scream,,,,,, she blogged. If you didn't know and you want to head over there, be warned,,, you may need some caffeine, it's a long one. Love you Max!!! And oh!! I'll bring you some toilet paper and teabags on Monday *giggle*.
We certainly have been spending night and day together, I've been there so much, that Pippy my loyal toy poodle comes too, she's been there so many times now that she knows here way around which is no big deal, except she is blind and mostly deaf and doesn't bump into things. It has been a blast, even though we are exhausted, we will be back at it on Monday.
Well I babbled on a bit,,,,,,,,,,, not as much as Max though. *smile*
Till next time,
stay safe

Hugs
Audrey

Still Full Speed Ahead

Just a quick post to Hi,,,,,,,,,,'Hi'!!!!!!!!!
Working my butt off at the moment. It's still all good, exciting really, so each time I feel tiredness and motivation creeping in, I nudge my way forward.
Apparently there is a buzz around that we are (Max and Myself) opening a shop,,, that would be a dream come true but alas it isn't so. So that rumor can be put to rest :0)

As usual I am in a rush but thought I would share some eye candy till next time.
Sending Love

Busy, Busy, Busy...

Times flying again,,,, I've been so busy, creatively, so it's a good thing.
Max and I've been working on new classes, so stay tuned for when and where, I've been making samples to take to SIA.
My domestic Goddess is on holiday, but poor thing, she will have her work load cut out for her when she returns, LOL.
Unfortunately I don't have a lot of new creations to share, but will definitely have some sneak peeks very soon. Thought I would share one of the pages from my 'She' journal. Mmmmm,, may have to think about doing this as an online class, let me know what you think??



And these shots are of Suzanne's journal completed, who took the class with me a few months back. It was brilliant to see how different all the girls books looked as they were coming together at the end. I absolutely loved teaching this class. For those other girls who took the class I would love to see some of your photos of your beautiful journals.




Suzanne went to town with her amazing journal and I loved it.
