Okay so I know it’s been a long year with this catalogue so I want you to start getting excited about what might be coming in the new catalogue and maybe feeling a little sad about the sets that are going so we are going to have a competition.
The retirement list will be released on Sunday August 1st but before then I want you to email me a list of 10 stamp sets you think will be retiring. What’s the point? Well we are going to see who can guess the most retiring sets correctly and the winner will get to choose a free stamp set on me from the New 2010/2011 Catalogue (valued at up to $29.95)
Here’s the rules:
- You must email me by no later than 9:59Pm (WST) on the 31st of July or your guesses won’t count.
- The competition is only open to Australian Residents
- Third and most importantly you can not list the three sets we know will be retiring from the Two Step Fabulous July promotion.
- Please include the page number that each set is found on to make announcing a winner easier.
When you have assembled your Top Ten Last Chance List you can email it to me at hcarruthers@live.com or call/sms me on 0406 057 751 and give me your list.

Live with kids is crazier and busier than I ever thought it would be and consistency with this blog has always been my problem.
I’m considering ending this blog and just moving everything to my DBWS (by the way have you checked it out lately things are a changing over there and there will be more changes in the coming weeks so bookmark it and don’t forget to check out my blog over there) I’m not making the change just yet and you’ll get plenty of warning before I do, but I want you to know it might be in the works.

Project Number Four

Is a box that can hang from a door handle. Well it’s a door hanger box I guess, I’m not really great at naming things. Now I have seen similar things done before but from memory that started with an actual door hanger base and we’ll be making our own.
1. Start with the door hanger itself by cutting a piece of Apricot Appeal cardstock 9cm x 21cm. Decorate with the chick hatching from the egg out of the A Good Egg set. Using the 1 3/8″ Circle punch push the 9cm side (at top) into the punch as far as it will go and centre it. Punch then use scissors to make a slit to the outside of the cardstock.
2. Make the box by cutting a piece of cardstock 14 x 21cm. Score on the 21cm side at 1cm, 6cm, 15cm & 20cm. Score on the 14cm side at 8cm & 13cm. (I will upload a diagram soon so you can see what I mean.)
3. Assemble the box and stick the door hanger to it. Decorate the front with a 2 inch x 19cm designer paper strip. A Chocolate Bunny stamped in Versamark onto Close to Cocoa cardstock and cut out and a Happy Easter greeting from the Greetings Eight set punched out with a 3/4″ circle punch.

Is a 6″ x 6″ scrapbook page to celebrate your Easter Memories.
1. Start with 6″ x 6″ Certainly Celery base, stamp the flowers from A Good Egg set in Certainly Celery ink over the bottom third of the page.
2. Cut a piece of Barely Banana cardstock to 5 1/2″ x 4 1/4″ and use as the mat for your photograph. Attach to the left of the page.
3. Stamp the Bunny Rabbit from Greetings Eight onto Whisper White cardstock in Barely Banana ink, punch out using the 1 3/8″ circle punch. Mount onto a Bashful Blue Scallop Circle and onto the page at the bottom.
4. Write your title in the top right corner and any extra journaling below.
just a quick note to say

Project Number Two
An Easter Card, I’d like to think this card could be given to anybody, young or old to enjoy. I have to admit to also being proud of the fact that my darling husband thought the bunny looked just like a real chocolate one and good enough to eat.
I don’t have a pdf of instructions for this one so I’ll list them out at the end, I clear embossed the Bunny rabbit to make him look like a chocolate bunny. Mmmm chocolate! LOL!
Here’s a detail view of him:
And here’s how to make your card:
1. Start with a piece of Chocolate Chip cardstock that is 26cm long by 10.5cm high, fold in half. Scallop the front edge using the Scallop Edge punch.
2. Cut a piece of So Saffron cardstock 11cm x 4cm. Stamp Happy Easter from the A Good Egg set in So Saffron ink in the bottom left corner of the strip. Attach to the card front from the fold.
3. Cut a piece of Old Olive cardstock 7cm x 4.5cm and place on the card front overlapping the So Saffron strip.
4. Take a piece of Close to Cocoa cardstock and stamp the Chocolate Bunny (Summer Mini Catalogue) onto it using Versamark ink. Sprinkle with clear embossing powder and remove the excess then heat set with a heat tool.
5. Using paper snips cut the Chocolate Bunny out and attach to the Old Olive cardstock piece on the card front.
It’s as easy as that. Don’t forget we are in the last week of the Summer Mini Catalogue and Sale-a-bration, so this is your last chance to get your order in as some of these products will likely never be seen again.
You can order by sending me an email at hcarruthers@live.com or Phone/Text to 0406 057 751
