well then....

...it's the last day of May & I haven't posted here all month! Have had a couple of weekends away for the Otago Playcentre Association - Napier for a Promotions Meeting & Rotorua last weekend for the Annual Conference. Have been enjoying Playcentre this week with lots of exciting learning happening for children - we enjoyed some walks in the Queenstown Gardens -one particular day we had a blast in an amazing pile of leaves - parents & children really enjoyed the experience - the ducks enjoyed bread that we picked up from Gardens Novotel -breakfast left overs - on the way up to the park. The three below are some of our 4 year olds looking up Lake Wakatipu on our way to the Park! Now these fascinate me - printers blocks - photo taken at the Naseby museum - I see these and think about how much technology has changed - to go up a font size with these babies you had to use a whole new set! the time involved!!!
Can you see the fear?
Queenstown Gondola.

My dare entry for the last No. 8 wired dare - have you checked out the current dare - go the photos LOL.

And congrats to Vicky & Trina who joined the SBO design team earlier this month - some exciting things in the pipework.... not to mention Vicky's baydee that needs to hurry up & be born!

There are some changes happening at SOF too but I'll leave them to Sally to announce!

May must have been a good one as my friend Nik (who I run regular scrap retreats with in Bannockburn) has started a new venture - so check it out!

ok, must go do some real work!

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

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...
