New Paper goodies

to show off from my last SU Class with Bronwen. Love these classes. Each month I learn new techniques as well as enjoying a coffee n chat with the lovely bunch of ladies who attend.

Two new cards and a gift card holder from a envelope and a small box to put a gift in, they were all fun to make.
 I have given in and am trying out the SU Project Life system for Scrap-booking to see if I like the change from my normal Scrap-booking technique. Still waiting for a BBB to arrive with some goodies I want to use but so far so good. The Project Life form of Scrap-booking can be a much simpler way of Scrappin' and a lot quicker if you have lots of pics you want to organize into albums and be done. Embellishing the pages can be done as little or as much as you prefer.
I think I will be happy to use both techniques in my Grand-children's albums I am doing but need to get a few more pages done to see if I can incorporate the new with the earlier pages. Will share a couple of them when done.

And while I am on a roll

and catching up with my blog updating....
I wanted to pop up a couple of pics of what my niece Dahna made on a visit to me during the school holidays. Dahna is very artistic so it wasn't hard to keep her occupied in my craft room with stamps and paper, she enjoyed making a gift for her Mum's birthday and I had a great time showing her how use some of the new toys I have accumulated, it was fun having somebody to play with for a couple of days, lol. Thanks so much for your company Dahna, it was lovely having you visit.

Dahna did a great job of the dvd notepad holder and card don't you think.

Not a lot of Craftin'

going on here at the moment, I have lots planned but it's just not happening yet, may get to start on a few things tomorrow. Last week I did get around to making a needle case and pincushion for a niece who is doing a little bit of crafting. She is sewing together some cute little felt hearts for some of her friends for Christmas gifts and she is such a sweetie she gave me one of her samples as a gift.
So I had been wondering what I could do for her in return and realised that if she was going to be a serious crafter she would need some tools of the trade. I think she will like these as they are pink and purple with sparkles and butterflies, what more could a 11 yr old girl want for her Sewing Box.

ps. a tutorial for the needle case is a freebie available here from a friends blog, thanks heaps Khris.
