nzdares & RAK


Ok, recently there was a freestyle related dare on No. 8 wired. One of the layouts to lift was by Nic H..... My lift just couldn't be considered 'freestyle' but I love it just the same. Thanks for all the inspiration you provide Nic.
Now off to create a layout about 'my secrets' LOL. I've decided on one....... later.
I've also decided that I'm going to RAK someone for ideas for the market in the previous post - so leave a comment with your suggestions & maybe a link or two & I'll do a draw, maybe 2... from there after the 21st of April (Market day). TIA.

Fair ideas -
exploding albums, card & gift tag sets, door hangers, fudge (mmmm)

I'll keep thinking!

love that cake Lara and the layout. Fair ideas: decorated tins, paint rocks and print words on them like peace or love and joy. or the 4x4 mini canvas-painted background and a word on it. Mini survival kits for expectant mums, new home etc, include items and a list of what the items mean, like a rubberband to show you how flexible you have to be etc.

Love this layout Lara! Hope you're having a lovely Easter!!

What about a sturdy chipboard art work hanger for kindy kids. You decorated the 12x12 chipboard and have the words 'masterpiece' or 'my child's art work' on it and then 2 bulldog clips at the bottom to hang the art work from. Hope I've explained myself!LOL

How about an altered clock.
Altered journal covers. How about clipboards that are made into calendars.

You can tell i'm into altering things at the moment. lol

Lara this is a Gorgeous LO, the BG PP is beautiful against the pink cake.. how sweet!..

when I was doing Markets I used to make two items to go along side my more expensive things,
no.1.. I made Playdough and bagged it up In Clip seal bags sold it at a cheap price,
no.2.. I made small 'dampers' (I hope you know what they are..they are probably a bit Aussie.. but they are a simple yeast free bread I made herb & cheese or plain) pop them in a celo bag and tie with raffia and place in a basket, the men love them! :o)

What about making up CARD KITS? Include white cardstock (use the free stuff that comes in page protectors), scraps of patterned paper/cardstock and some punchies. Add some card sketches and simple instructions and some envelopes in a ziplock bag.
The kids could be roped in to cut the punchies out.

If you have large pieces of polar fleece you could make no-sew fleece pillows. They are really funky

maybe you could just make the pillow case without the pillow which would make it cheaper.

I have been searching the makingfriends.com website and there are some cool ideas there that you could make into kits for kids to make up themselves. You know me Lara, I love kits!!! hehe

for some reason the link keeps getting cut off, but if you go to makingfriends.com and add

/gifts/fleece_tie_pillow.htm on the end you should find the one I mean.

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!
