SmashFolios & back to school

Andrea from Scrapbook Outlet came to the rescue in time for Katya's birthday - sending me one of each of the smash folios so I could choose one for her. I love them all and have big plans for each and every one e.g. one is for 'me' and one is for our trip to the North Island last year. They make great gifts too. I could make one...but at under $30, I don't think so.

I have been 'back to school' for a couple of weeks now (we started back a week and a half before the kids started) and this year is off to a great start. I'm trying to do school stuff from Monday to Friday - not weekends, from 8-5 most days with some exemptions at Report writing time, parent teacher interviews etc. But mostly if it isn't done in that timeframe it possibly isn't that important in the scheme of things. I have a great group of students in my class this year - newbies again, love their keenness!

Balance is good and what one needs. Hard when you're a teacher I know. How's the cave going?

Love the smash books, great idea....

New Grad

This month I used the 'Sunshine Vibes' bundle to create this layout for the Stampin' Up Artisan Design Team. Using die cuts to create stencils is a favourite way to create backgrounds for my scrapbook layouts. This bundle allowed me to do this and then to back some of the die cuts with in colour DSP. Puffy hearts and fussy cut flowers add dimension. If you live in New Zealand and don't have a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator already and want the supplies I have used, please visit: https://laramoss.stampinup.net and head to the shop to look for: Sunshine Vibes Bundle Mini Alphabet Dies Florals in Bloom DSP

Stampin' Up! Artisan Design Team - applications are open!

I am half way through my year as an Artisan Design Team Member with Stampin' Up! and applications are currently open for Stampin' Up! Demonstrators to apply. I have enjoyed this opportunity, the creative experiences, the teams I get to work with and the lovely supplies we are given (always exciting to see new design briefs and what arrives in my Artisan boxes). Over on Instagram, the current team is running a hop where we are all documenting in some way, what it has meant to be an Artisan. Look up @scrappykea to check out the links to the rest of the teams projects. You can see my project coming together and hear me talk a bit about the Artisan Journey in this video : If you live in New Zealand and want some of the creative supplies I have used in this project, please head to: https://laramoss.stampinup.net/ Supplies used in this project: Two-Toned Cardstock: Secret Sea, Cloud Cover, Darling Duckling, Summer Splash, Timid Tiger Designer Series Paper: Turtle-y C...
