A very BIG thank you to everyone who came to the March workshop. It was great to see everyone chatting and enjoying making their cards. We also welcomed two workshop “virgins”! For those who weren't able to attend we made these "5 projects quick" all boys cards .

Congratulations to Karolynne who won the door prize. We also had a sneak peak at the new products flyer. I will have flyers available at the next workshop.

Kaszazz Conference

Kym and I attended the Kaszazz conference on the weekend of the 14th & 15th of March. We had a great time and I have to say, I am very excited by the new product range that has just been released. We were able to sample some of the new products and made the Bella Friendship Album and the Whimsical Love – page and pocket 12x12 layout, both new two hour workshops. I will have the layouts at the next workshop for you to look out if you haven't already seen it!

The theme for the conference was Hollywood glitz and glamour and on the Saturday night we were able to enjoy a great dinner, where there we many “Marilyns” present!!! It was a great opportunity to put names and faces together and meet some of the people who have created the workshops that I enjoy teaching.

Card Swap

At our last workshop, I announced the theme for our next card swap, being Autumn.

Thank you to those who have volunteered to participate in the swap. We have had 8 volunteers to participate in the swap. This means that you will need to make 8 cards of your design. Remember to put your name on the back, so we can admire your work.

We will be sure to post pictures so you can see everyone's designs on the blog as well.

What is Card Swap? You can find all the details here! Why not have a go next month?



Hope you take some time for some rest and relaxation this week to rejuvenate those creative juices. Wishing you all a happy and safe Easter.

Hope you are all well and have had some time to get the creative juices flowing. Can you believe that February is nearly over? I don't know about you but this year seems to be going on fast forward!!

A very BIG thank you to everyone who came to the February workshop. It was great to see everyone chatting and enjoying making their cards. For those who weren't able to attend we make these "5 projects quick" cheeky cards. For one of the cards we used glitter and I think everyone went home with some sparkle in their clothes (ah the fun)! Congratulations to Alison who won the door prize.

Birthday Girls!!!

Kaszazz Conference

Kym and I are very excited as the weekend before our next workshop we will be attending the annual Kaszazz conference. The theme for the conference is "Hollywood - Glitz & Glamour". We have also had a sneak peak of one of the products coming out in a "mini" new product release and we’re excited and we think you will be too.

Come to the workshop on Friday the 20th and we'll be able to tell you all about it!!!

Card swap

At the March workshop we will be releasing the details for our next card swap. I know that those who participated in the card swaps last year really enjoyed them.


If you are unable to come to the workshop, but would like to participate please let me know prior to the workshop so I can include you.

For those of you who have not participated in the card swap, the idea is that you make enough cards for the number of people participating in the swap based on the theme provided. Everyone will then exchange their cards, with the aim that you should receive some great cards and some new ideas.

Kaszazz Customer Product of the Month

This month when you purchase a tub of daisy flowers (contains 100) for $19.95 you will receive a packet (12) of ½” polka dot brands free!!

Scrapbooking Workshop

For those of you who have expressed an interest in scrapbooking workshops, we haven’t forgotten you. At the moment we are homeless and are currently exploring venues to have the scrapbooking workshops. The Jamieson Way Community Centre is booked every Friday night. We do have some ideas and will let you know as soon as we have secured a location.

Tip for the Month

When using the Kaszazz double sided tape, you can tear it rather than cutting it. This will save time and ensure that you can get you projects completed quicker.

Well that’s enough from me. Hope you take some time for some rest and relaxation this week to rejuvenate those creative juices.

I look forward to seeing you on the 20th of March. Bye for now.

February workshop details

I would like to take this opportunity to thank those who came out in the extreme heat to the new product launch held on January 30th. While we did intend for the evening to take on a different format than our usual workshop nights, we did not plan for the mood lighting and the alfresco atmosphere. (That's code for power blackout resulting in us sitting outside enjoying the breeze) It was enjoyable to spend some time chatting and enjoying each others company.

We are hoping that for the brief time we were able to see the workshop samples that have been made, we were able to excite the creativity that lies within!!!


February workshop will be held on Friday the 13th of February at the Jamieson Way Community Centre. This month we will be making the "Cheeky Card Workshop". The Cost for the workshop is $20. These five card will include stamping with inks, paint dabbers and rollagraphing, embossing and using a range of Kaszazz ribbons to embellish the cards. For details of what to bring (if you have them) please click here.

We are sure you will be inspired by these new products.

There will be a huge display of new products, FREE New Product Flier per person, Catalogues available to purchase, 10% off all orders over $60 placed on the night, 2009 Workshop samples and further details about Cardmaking workshops, and other plans and timetables for 2009.

I will also have a range of discontinued products available for sale so bring along your extra change. (Discounted items must be cash only!)

Have your friends been impressed by the cards you have made? Do you think that they might be interested in coming along but they aren't sure about coming to the workshops?

Previous Tips of the Month

Have you missed the previous Tip of the Month? Never fear, we will have them all here for you!

• When using the Kaszazz double sided tape, you can tear it rather than cutting it. This will save time and ensure that you can get you projects completed quicker

• Always store your ink pads upside down. This will ensure the ink remains at the top of the pad ready for when you next stamp.
