To the Moon and Back!
I love this stamp from out of the May Stamp of the Month set - "You've Got a Friend".

This card was made with Ariana paper to give it a "girly" look....it would have been perfect for Mothers Day this past weekend.
Spend $75 this month and you can purchase this May Stamp of the Month set for only $5....you would also qualify to buy the National Scrapbooking Day "Free to be Me" Paper pack for another $5....that's almost $50 worth of product for only $10.

Crazy for Base and Bling!
I have to admit that I am absolutely CRAZY about our new Base & Bling pendant pieces. I am having so much fun making these and teaching others, I could seriously sit around and make these necklaces ALL DAY LONG!
So, here's how it works: you choose your chain (Antique Gold or Antique Silver) and your matching pendant (square or round); you pick out an image to put in your pendant (we've got over 120 to pick from--the "storyteller" images are shown below); you stick your image in the pendant (you may have to trim if you're using a circle pendant), add a blob of Liquid Glass, then add a glass cover (use a damp rag to immediately wipe off any Liquid Glass that squirts out); wait 90 seconds and wipe off the excess liquid glass with a baby wipe; let it dry and add the charms of your choice. THAT'S IT. It is a beautiful gift idea that you can make for under $14!
Of course the fun does not stop there – see the beautiful card you can make to present this necklace as a gift!
So, you can buy the components for these necklaces at VERY affordable prices through my website: http://susanwilmot.ctmh.com.au, if you're local, you can attend one of my "jewellery bar" events and make your necklace for only $14! What a great gift idea! And a fun mother/daughter activity!
Email me on wilmot@cia.com.au to book into a Jewellery Bar Event or to book a custom class at your place.

Thanks {big time} Lollydoodle!
Here's a great little card created with two fun & funky products available this month! Lollydoodle B&T Duos paper and April Stamp of the Month - Balloon Talk.
Using Sorbet cardstock as a base, the bottom half of the card was randomly stamped with the empty balloon talk "bubble" in co-ordinating ink. A strip of Pear cardstock was punched using the Scallop border punch and the "zip strip" from the top of the B&T Duos was added. A piece of Lollydoodle was adhered to the top half of the card and the "thanks {big time}" sentiments was stamped in Cotton Candy Exclusives ink adhered to a small piece of Jubilee cardstock and propped up on 3D foam tape. Two small strips of the reverse side of Lollydoodle paper was cut into banners and added to the base of the card along with a few Epoxy Bubbles.
I hope this inspires you to create some fun all occasions cards with this fun stamp set!
