When is an owl not an owl?
When it's a cat!
This clever idea is one shared by a fellow consultant, Doris Taylor, at a recent consultant crop day. Having a tendency to crazy cat lady behaviours myself, I couldn't resist making up a couple for this card. I plan to send it to a lady I have recently met - I know we are going to become firm friends.
To create the cat you need the August Stamp of the Month, What a Hoot (S1408).
This gorgeous stamp set can be yours for just $5 when accompanied by a $75 order or $27 full ret…
My clever team
My team of consultants, known as the Dazzling Duchesses, get together once a month with consultants from another team to share creative ideas. We participate in a 10 for 10 Swap. Each of us brings 10 of the same thing ( a card, page, border or embellishment) and swap them for items made by others. I find having a collection of samples to share with you, my lovely customer, is so helpful because our teams have great ideas that they teach me and I can pass on to you.

Embossed accents
I have a new toy! My little green Cuttlebug is proving to be so much fun to hang out with. It works with the CTMH embossing folders to add a textured pattern to flat papers. There are 5 folders to choose from. Take a look at them here. The folders will work with other brands of embossing machine, I just like this one because it is so compact and easy to use (and I got a great deal on it because I'm a consultant).

Try your hand at spraying ink
I took a group of consultants away for a weekend at the end of March. This was a mixture of fun and product training. We tried new techniques and learnt lots from each other about using a range of Close To My Heart products. One product I really enjoyed playing with was the Spray Pens, a pack of 3 is just $5.50.
You simply mix a few drops of re-inker with water in the tube of the pen, screw on the lid and spray some paper. You can vary how fine the mist is by changing the distance away from t…

Balloon Ride WOTG
Today's pages were created by my daughter, Kathryn. She is a no frills scrapbooker. Her pages need to have lots of room for photos and there is always a long story to be written.
The layout featured in the Balloon Ride Workshop on the Go Kit suited her style perfectly.
Aussie themed gift wrap
My husband is re-turning 21 tomorrow. Seems like only yesterday he returned 21 last year! I am excited to celebrate with him and our family but I'm also excited to have a reason to play with my NEW stamp set, Hoppy Birthday (D1597). This is one of 5 sets of stamps released EXCLUSIVELY for Australia and New Zealand by Close To My Heart. You can view all 5 sets by clicking here.

Flower Pot Card
Enjoy the Little Things! What a great motto for life. We are surrounded by so many beautiful blooms in gardens and parks at the moment and this stamp set reminds me of that.
A few years ago, someone clever made a flower pot card at one of my workshops and I always planned to do one but never got around to it. I have a friend who is going through a tough time at the moment and thought this little card may brighten her day.
It didn't take long to make. I watched a video that gave me all the in…

I'm on Cloud Nine
I LOVE being a consultant because I always get to play with new products before they are released to you! In January 2014 you too can get your hands on the Cloud Nine cardmaking kit. Create 10 cute cards (2 each of 5 designs) using three sneak-peek accessories from the upcoming Idea Book, a new D-size stamp set, and exclusive papers. I am in love with the Teal Shimmer tape and the spotty Washi Tape.
