Australasian Stampaganza Blog Hop

Welcome to the Stampaganza Blog Hop!

If you've landed here from Shaunna Richards' Passionate About Pages, you're in the right spot.

This month the hop features some of our favorite stampsets. I've chosen 3 sets to feature today!

First up, we have Happy to be Friends.

This set was one of two released early to consultants at our Australasia Convention 2014 and I love it! There's 17 different images to use which makes it so versatile! It is one of my "desert island" stampsets.

I paired it with Charlotte scraps here.

A quick color change and it blends perfectly with Fundamentals.

Next is Treats of Friendship. If you've been around me for any length of time, you'll know I kinda have an obsession with coffee.

So..... when this set was introduced, I had to have it! Who wouldn't love getting this cute little coffee card in their mailbox?

Yep, I even made a coffee date layout using this set and Penelope papers.

I stamped the coffee cups multiple times on different papers, fussy cut them into pieces, and pieced them together to get this look.

Lastly, we have Springtime Wishes.

This set was used at our Australasia 2015 Convention for our creative sessions. I absolutely love it! More sentiment and flower options to add to my collection! If you notice the blue outlines, that means there is (was) a Thin Cuts die cut set to match. It has sold out completely! I used the two to create this card.

There you have it, my 3 most favorite stampsets. What stampsets have you had your eye on but haven't yet purchased? Stampaganza is the time to do it!

Sangria Blog Hop

Welcome to the Sangria blog hop!

If you've landed here from Shaunna's blog you're on the right track.

My project for this hop is this stunning advent calendar.

If you open up your copy of Annual Inspirations 2015/2016 to the Sangria section, you'll see that this calendar is an extended version of that gorgeous quilt block page.

If you have a copy of the Reflections how to book, you can easily duplicate this project with just a few more squares, some stamping, fussy cutting, and some embellishing!

Not only does this use up lots of scraps, it's also a great project for using with our red magnetic display frame! Simply pop it in the frame and use a base&bling pendant (glue a magnet to the back using liquid glass) to mark the days leading to Christmas!

The idea with this advent calendar is to have a nice title page for your Christmas album, and a reusable advent calendar for years to come! If you don't have the red magnetic display frame, you can slip this into a page protector and pin to a cork board and use a dry erase marker or washi tape to mark down the days.

You don't have to use Sangria to make this calendar (I've recently finished another in White Pines and it'd look great in any CTMH paper packet) nor does it have to be an advent calendar. You could easily tweak this to be a perpetual monthly calendar or a birthday party count down, or any other count down you can think of!

Materials used: Sangria paper packet, trimmer, versamat, spritz, scrubber, blocks, 14" ruler, inks (cocoa, pomegranate, eggplant), stampsets (handwritten print, holiday cheer, hand lettered Christmas), gold foil tape, clear sparkles, pink enamel gems, nonstick microtip scissors, colonial white cardstock, Reflections how to book, adhesive.


Up next is the beautiful Denise!

Times they are a-changin'.

Hello my lovelies!

With the new Annual Inspirations Book almost here, the way I'm running my scrapbooking workshops is changing. Previously I was using the Workshop on the Go kits and I've realized that they are bit intimidating for some of my customers. So... I've decided to change things up!

Starting in September with my Sangria Scrapbooking Workshop, we'll be using the Make It From Your Heart book and scrapping our way through, one paper packet at a time. Scrapbooking needn't be complicated or fussy or hard. Scrapbooking is supposed to be fun!

Each workshop kit has different items included, and all kits make 4 pages (2 layouts) with plenty of paper and goodies leftover to create several more projects. There are 3 kits to choose from: Basic, Better, and Best.

The basic kit is just that, basic. It includes all the papers and instructions needed to do the pages. No stamping or embellishments are included in this kit.
The better kit includes 2 full packs of embellishments to take your page to the next level.
The best kit includes your own copy of Make It From Your Heart, a block and an ink pad for even further customization and embellishment.

Basic - $25 includes: Sangria paper packet, extra cardstock bases, full instructions, nibblies, and workshop fee.
Better - $35 : includes basic kit *plus* Poppy Twine and Gold Sequins.
Best - $60 : includes better kit *plus* Make It From Your Heart, 3x3 Block, and Eggplant ink.

I highly recommend getting the Best kit, it's the best value and you get quite a bit of goodies to further your stash along. From October, you'll need to bring your own copy of Make It From Your Heart to each scrapbooking workshop (as copyright prohibits photocopying).

I'm so excited to get this new change started! Bookings for Sangria Scrapbooking open 12am September 1st and close promptly at 7pm September 8th.

Register your expression of interest now and I'll send you the booking details at 12am September 1st!
