Day One of Craft Alive

 We had a fantastic day here at Craft Alive at the Gold Coast Turf Club.  If you are visiting my blog as a result, welcome!!

This is me!

I was there all day so you probably saw me!

My next class is on Thursday February 25th.  It's a 'Shapes' class where we are using die cut shapes to make bright and eye catching cards.  We will make 6 cards - two each of three designs.  Envelopes are included and the cost is $25.  I run classes from my home in Burleigh Waters.

Morning class 9.30 till 12.  Evening class 7 till 9.30.  Why not give it a try?

Hey Chicks

Stampin' Up!®  has re-released a fun Sale-a-Bration stamp set and added coordinating dies.  some of you may still have the set in your stash but if not you can now buy it!

Hey Chick contains four cute images and a few punny sayings.

And now we have dies!!!  These are so much fun and add another dimension to your crafting.  Love the extra elements such as the chicken wire and the ears of corn!  And a chook house!

Here's a slimline card which is actually my Valentine card for hubby.  It was fun to prepare a whole bunch of the images and then play with putting them together.

You may have spotted a few extras in this card - a different chook?  A sack of corn?  These are from another stamp and die set, but they all go beautifully together!

Hey Birthday Chick is in our mini catalogue (page 52)

And you can also buy matching dies for it!  You can see how the dies and stamps all cross coordinate and why I (and you!) need the lot!

I have loved using that streamer die - it makes for such a fun addition to a birthday card.

Retreat Cookies!

 There is a wonderful cookie creator on the Gold Coast called at Sweet Cakes by Katy.

To thank my ladies at the end of the retreat, I have her make cookies that tie in with one of our products.  This time round I used the Playful Pets Suite and she made paw print cookies!

She makes them just the right size to fit into our mini pizza boxes.

It wasn't until after I had ordered them that I saw Katy post a pic of a cookie with a tiny bee on it so I asked to have those added.  She have me tiny lady beetles!!  How cute!

 If you would like to be on my mailing list for the next retreat, drop me a line at wheatonanna@hotmail.com.

I also run regular classes throughout the year.

Day Retreat at Lonestar Tavern, Mermaid Waters

WARNING LONG POST but LOTS OF PICS!!:  At the start of December I held a day retreat to give customers and team a day of uninterrupted time to complete UFOs (unfinished objects) and get ready for Christmas. 

The day is pretty unstructured but I provide goodies throughout the day and some make and takes that can be completed with the stamp set they receive.

Each lady had half a big round table to work on and this was their place setting.  A box of goodies!!

Plenty of inspiration with my displays of new products from the upcoming mini catalogue.

Everyone gets a lucky ticket for a raffle plus the option to buy more.  We raised $65 for Hummingbird House.

I bring along my inks and all the colours of A4 and embellishments for the ladies to use, along with all my Christmas stamp sets, dies and punches.

Do you want to see some of the projects the ladies worked on??

Throughout the day, I give the ladies pillow gifts.  I know we don't actually have pillows but you get the idea!!

I try to give useful and/or edible gifts!

These were Dimensionals dressed up with the Darling Donkeys stamp set which is FREE during SAB.

These are the mini Jingle Bells from the Christmas mini.

Our delightful circular tins were on the tables at the start of the day choc full of chocs to sustain the crafters!!  These were so much fun to make!

 And these were the make and takes the ladies completed, using their free stamp set.

It was a thoroughly relaxing and productive day with everyone getting lots ticked off their lists.  If you would like to be on my mailing list for the next one, drop me a line at wheatonanna@hotmail.com.

I also run regular classes throughout the year.
