more tarisota playing

did these last week. Loved the sparkly, clean nature of July's kit (that I got by surprise). Tamar wanted two of my LO's for tarisota talk - yeah -check these out tomorrow! Couldn't resist a little more handstitching in the Gentle Breeze LO!

Can't wait for August's kit! Bright & colourful this month.

Ethan's @ Grannys as I was down there for a Kei tua o te pae seminar on Saturday. Might see him again in a week or so. Doing an online class through scrapoffaith on Wednesday night - looking forward to it!

Up2Scrap is out - have you seen it? Another awesome job & lots of familiar names alongside layouts - congrats if you were published.

Did some cool challenges @ SBO in the weekend - while others were @ CC - had a go @ a circle shaped LO inspired by a dinner plate - check the gallery for the challenge LO's.

Best go & get organised for another workshop tonight - 'Capitalising on children's curiosity' - sounds fascinating! Seriously.

blenheim

We are currently in Blenheim. Have been doing some of the wineries - a work trip for Jase - we just get to go along! I'v been playing with some of the phaunt actions by Kylie Banks- my faves are phaunt magic instant & then beastly colour. Got the links from an online class at Scrapbook Outlet with Mandi Haynes. above: Katya on a walk in Waikari with Jases parents. Below - Harold the older giraffe at Orana Park, just before I met Vicki & checked out the stamping up catalogue. Jase & I joined a winery tour today - was a great way to meet some different people & to see & learn a little bit about some of the local wineries. Feel quite isolated without my home internet connection though!

thunderpants inspired

Here it is Karen - inspired by thunderpants! Had fun doodling. Love that I found that quote - fits the pic very aptly! Got my hands on clean & simple the sequel by Cathy Z today - such a good read so far!!! Also got a letter from Pride Publishing - they want one of my A-Z Lo's for publication in issue 44 - so exciting (just wish I live with a bunch of scrappers who understand what this means to me - but then I 'd have to share my stash!). Donna also got a letter - congrats Donna! (her links down to the lower right of my blog) To all those scrap camping - this weekend - hope it's a good one at whichever camp you are at. I'm looking forward to mine next weekend!

Cheese Rolls

Spread sliced bread with Cheese Spread (see below). Roll up. Toast in oven & serve hot. These may be frozen and heated when required! cheese spread: 1pkt onion soup; 500g tasty cheese - grated; a 400g tin of evaporated milk; Put all ingredients in a saucepan and heat slowly until cheese melts and mixture thickens. Stir well. When cool store in jars in the fridge for sandwhiches etc or put in your cheese rolls! Yep, the Up2Scrap Elite Design team has been announced - soo privileged & excited to be a part of it. Congrats to Donna , Rach , Lianne , Trina & Sue & thanks Steph & Jo for the opportunity:-) We have been in Invercargill overnight - nice to get away even if it is only for a night! We went to Queens Park & the Museum/Art Gallery today & the Art Gallery Cafe served these cheese rolls -yum! Such a lower South Island thing - but soo good!
