A flying visit

Well hello, I used to be so good at updating, but now i have a new hobby. Something that is a comlete waste of time, but a challenge and compelling at the same time. I have a virtual farm, on facebok, called Farm Town.

But I thought I would pop in and show you a cute journal I made for a friend for her birthday. One is of it with the front plastic cover, and then the next is with the cover open. I love these for to do lists, party planning, or anything really. i also made a matching card.

The family are all good. We went to Werribbee Zoo last weekend which was great, and then we went out to montezumas mexican with the birthday girl and her hubby and daughter, it was delish and a lovely time.

OK i must get back my farm. LOL

Oh I don't think I have mentioned that i am no longer an ENJO consultant. I needed a rest after 2 and half years. So I have a mountain of new and barely used ENJO for sale if anyone is interested, just leave a comment or email me.

Cheers

A new special

OMG I am way to busy working on my farm on facebook to blog, soo sorry, LMAO.

There is a new Stampin" Up special though..

You could be a happy hostess - just get a load of the promotion for June/July!

During these two months, any workshops that reach a total of at least $600 will earn the hostess an extra $40 in free merchandise. This is on top of the already great hostess benefits at this level (ie. a free Level 1 or Level 2 hostess stamp set plus $70 worth of catalogue goodies).

Contact me today to make your workshop date.

Ok, I have to get back to my farm, hehe.

No time to even check Google reader, aaaagh!

Last chance

..........to become a Stampin' Up! demostrator for the bargain price of $150. Whether just for your own personal discount, or to make a career out of it, or anything in between.

It is also the last chance to get a free designer series paper set of your choice (when you buy 3).

Here is a quick card I made using the cool set, totally tools, and some paper from the designer series paper, Urban Garden. It is all ready to add a sentiment to, whether it is thanks, happy birthday, thinking of you, or happy fathers day.

Just drop me a line if you want more information, or call of course.

Give me a yell, if you are interested...

Challenges

I have had heaps of fun doing a couple of challenges set on one of our Stampin' Up! groups.....
This 1st one was to be male, take 10 minutes, and feature a circle. My circle turned into an oval. OOps. This is a great stamp set for men. You can use it for thank yous, and birthdays, or fathers day. All those times you have trouble thinking of something for the man in your life, all you have to do is pull out the 'totally tools' set. I have also used a cut from the Urban Garden designer series paper, and our current in colours.


This next one wasn't a challenge, but i had all of the stuff out and leftover paper i thought I would make a card for my girlfriend who is having a birthday next week. This was one of those rare occassions when you have something in your head, and when finished you go, 'oh I really love that' and 'gee that was clever idea'. Which occured when I decided to tie the linen thread around the grosgrain ribbon to make a super cute bow.
This layout was then done for a sketch challenge. I had to drag out some old photos (I love that about a challenge, as sometimes you don't have what suits the theme of the challenge), and the papers, again Urban Garden, were perfect for our Fiji honeymoon pics. All of the products in this layout are Stampin' Up! (oh except the title, thanks thickers). So for the not quite converted, yes you can scrap just as beautifully with Stampin' Up! TFLOk I better put the washing on, I have been meaning to do it all day. Mark is off to the footy tonight, so I plan to relax tonight with a movie and maybe do a layout, as I am working tomorrow night. Enjoy your weekend.

Cheers Kaz

Hi there,.

all is good here in the Yates household. I am still doing the same - working and trying to fit in some play. Mark had a little break from his training schdeule, but has started running again because i think he is bored senseless. He is also very happy with the Cats at the moment.
Harry is getting nervous about starting school, as we have started talking about it, he can't comprehend it is still 8 months away.
Emmy is day time toilet trained for a week now, with only 1 accident day.
Here is the little treasure enjoying a play. This was done for www.rememberwhen.com.au
for a sketch challenge. Tricky colours, but i think it works.

Ok I must stop watching crap on Foxtel whilst hanging out on facebook. It is stealing my sleep away.

A couple of layouts

Hi all, I thought I would pop in and share some layouts I came across in my tidy up tonight. They were in a pile, awaiting a date , they were completed at the retreat I did in November last year, I am pretty sure anyway. The first one is my SIL at her 30th in Geelong last year. We all had a really fun day.


The next one is of Harry and his cousin Bain, dressed as spiderman. They have such fun playing together, although in this picture you can tell it is the end of the day, they were both tired. The paper is Kaisercraft.

Then this one is of Emmerson and our dog Taffy. Taff is the most amazingly placid dog you will ever come across. She puts up with alot from the kids, who love her to bits. I love this picture, it is so tender. Emmy is not always so gentle with Taffy. This layout features ALL Stampin Up products. So for those out there who didn't realise it, we have more than just inks and stamps, the creative world is endless at Stampin' Up!

Ok Night, sweet dreams xxxooo

have a Great weekend

Hi there on this chilly friday night. It has been raining a little tonight, which is a relief, because it has been threatening to all day. I had a lovely couple of red wines with the girls from work. Above is a layout I did for a colour challenge back in April for Remember When Paper Company. it has a white strip on the right, it isn't cut out.

I wanted to share a card I made last week for my lovely friend Sarah, and I made a second one for my dear cousin Amy who both had birthdays. I uses Stem Silhouettes again, it is a very cute and versatile stamp set. Boring old me used Urban Garden designer series paper. I hope you both had a wonderful day.

I am planning on a slow day tomorrow. Some laundry and clean the damn toilet probably, that is such a chore, because I know it will be yuk again within the day, LOL. I have been hunting down bunk beds for Harry, so we will have a spare bed for mates when they stay and when we have house guests, as Emmy can then go in with him and the guest can have Emmy's room. I found one I love, but it only comes in white, and today i discovered a local guy who should be able to make it from a picture, so i am hopeful he will be reasonably priced and I will be set.

I just watched Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants 2, which is a nice leighthearted movie. i need to go to bed now. Emmy woke at 0530 this morning and was not interested in snuggling for a little nap in mums bed. I am working tomorrow night too, so best get some beauty sleep.
