The winner is...

Thank you to all the beautiful entries that we received. It  was very hard to pick a winner, however we have, in fact we have two winners.
When it came down to choosing between these two they could not choose, so luckily Liz Collett had two Paper Pumpkin Kits so she suggested that they both get one.

So here they are...

Mavis Edwards your card was so intricate, with baubles dangling on each layer. Oh my word, so much work.

Jenny Coleman, wow we just love shaker cards and this was so pretty.

We hope you both enjoy your Paper Pumpkin Packs.

For all the others that entered the competition, thank you and I wish we could have given everyone a prize, they were all lovely.

Quota Charity Craft Fair

Another of the events that I and my Paper Angel colleagues attend was the Quota Charity Craft Fair. This time in bigger and better premises. This Fair has been going on for about 12 years now and all monies goes to Aspergers Syndrome and Cleft Pals.

It was a terrible rainy day, so everyone was worried that this might keep people in their homes. Nope they came through the door in droves. We had the stall set up looking very smart





We had make and takes set up and were kept very busy, as well as having special workshops with all monies going to Quota.

Quota's new Brisbane Craft and Gift Fair

For many years the Quota Craft and Gift Fair has been raising funds for Aspergers and Clef Pals charities and I have been a part of this fund raising right from the start. For the last few years I have been on the other side of the fund raising and actually having a stallbeing a stall holder.

Stampin" Up! has always supported this charity and is continuing to do so by having it's usual stall, with a large donation of Stampin" Up! products given to Quota for their raffles.

We will be having demonstrations on our stall throughout the day and of course the usual make and takes. There is nothing better than getting your hands on some stamp, inks and paper!

Both myself and Sarina Cardillo will be taking a workshop away from our stall. All money from these workshops goes directly to Quota's charities. So if you want to rty your hand at making a Christmas Bon Bon with my favourite tool, the Envelope Punch board, make sure you book in early as there are only 6 spots on Saturday and 6 spots on Sunday.

Sarina will be showcasing our newest tool and what a beauty that is. It is the Stamparatus, an innovative stamp placement tool collaboratively developed by Stampin' Up! and a team of Demonstrators from around the world.  This fabulous tool helps anyone get crisp, clean stamped images; plus you can make multiple projects in minutes - with an accuracy and consistency that makes stamping easier than ever before.

If you would like to purchase any of my retired stamps before the Craft Fair I am uploading a list on to my business Facebook page. I will be adding more each day so keep popping back. If you are in Brisbane you can pick up or I can arrange to hold them for pick up at the Craft Fair. If you wish them posted I can check out postage costs and let you know via email or Facebook message.

Thank you for a great morning

The invite just went out yesterday and 4 people responded. I had my studio set up and each person was shown how to make a card. One of the ladies had never made a card in her life before I sat with her and showed her how to create the cards and she only took a few minutes to master it and looked like she had been crafting for years. I think she is a natural.

 

We even had beautiful hand made envelopes, donated by one of our Paper Angels. Thanks Liz Collett they looked beautiful.

I had set up 3 stations, each station had a different card. After I gave them a quick tutorial on how to create each card, the ladies set to work and made a few each of the cards at each station and then moved to the next one.

We had an absolutely fun, productive morning, all up 72 cards made, envelopes matched and packed in cello bags ready to go. 

A very, very big thank you to all that came to help. This is only the first of many, so if you are keen to help, please contact me so I can organise the next free card making day.
