So – I’ve been missing for a few days but for a very, very good reason.

We have just had an amazing swivel wall bed with shelves and a desk installed, in our second bedroom!

When Rob and I moved from Bundaberg to Kangaroo Point, we downsized from a large house to a two bedroom apartment. And, I lost my craft room.

So for the last year, I have been crafting on the dining table and have had all my supplies filling cupboards.

Now, I have a permanent place to create and store my Stampin’ Up!® supplies … and have freed up some cupboard space.

It is CLEI queen bed LGM01 and it is brilliant!

This isn’t our apartment but it’s a great photo showing you how the unit swivels around – desk by day and bed, for guests, by night. Everything stays on the shelves! And, there is so much space on the shelves.

That large piece of white, in the front, is the desk when it is collapsed.

We chose all white, just like this one.

So, I have been setting up my new crafting space.

I also bought myself a new IKEA Kallax 12 cube book case. Armed with my trusty screwdrivers, I managed to assemble it, and some sets of drawers and cupboard inserts, all by myself!

WOOHOO, feeling clever.

I’ll post a ‘finished’ photo once I’ve put everything where I want it to go.

I did manage to squeeze in one project since my last post – a gift box, using some of the soon to be released 2020-2021 ANNUAL CATALOGUE new products.

The sunflowers in the FLOWERS FOR EVERY SEASON 6″X 6″ DSP are very cheerful; as is the BUMBLEBEE card stock – one of the five new 2020-2022 IN COLOURS.

I love the new JUST JADE GINGHAM RIBBON!

The sentiment is from the LOVELY YOU CLING STAMP SET and it was perfect for the goodies inside the gift box.

I like the way the JAR PUNCH can be used to make a gift tag.

At the moment, I don’t have anyone who needs cheering up.

If you live in Australia, and you know someone who could use a little cheering up, contact me and I will send it to you to give to them, as an almost RANDOM ACT OF KINDNESS!

Thanks for popping by … happy stamping!

One of the best things about being part of On Tour Online was the opportunity to work ‘alongside’ Shannon West, Marika Laforge and Anne Marie Hile.

We met several times, via Zoom and our Facebook group, in the lead up to each of us going Live. It was wonderful to collaborate with such supportive and creative women.

Anne Marie suggested we should have our very own card swap – awesome idea!

I have just finished making my swap and will be posting them today. I used the FOREVER GREENERY SUITE but made a new design to what I shared Live.

I used all six of the core colours found in the DSP to ink up and spritz a block to colour some Very Vanilla card stock before embossing it – Soft Sea Foam, Pear Pizzazz, Just Jade, Garden Green, Shaded Spruce and Pretty Peacock – so each piece is unique.

Looking forward to sending these!

The IN GOOD TASTE SUITE is stunning.

I love the images in the TASTEFUL TOUCHES STAMP SET. It has gorgeous textures and natural elements – a feather, flower and branch. And the sentiments are perfect for that special person – and the fonts are so stylish.

I am looking forward to making more cards using the full range of the In Good Taste Designer Series Paper – 12 different designs – tiles, wood, fabric, brickwork … There are so many possibilities!

I also used the FAUX SUEDE TRIM and an ANTIQUED SLIDE. It is such a great finish.
