Another quick post to share some LO's. These were all created for DownUnder Direct and displayed at the SIA.

These two were for the stan
d.



This one was for the DownUnder Direct Team entry. We all had the privelage of using the gorgeous wedding photos belonging to Deb & Andy.


That's it for today. In the middle of an OTP and my fingers are covered in dried glue. Blech!

Thanks for coming......xxx

Just a quick post to share some of the projects I created for the DownUnder Direct stand at SIA. These were all made using the fabulous Crafter's Companion. This compact creation station is a dream come true for cardmakers and crafters. It makes everything soooo....easy!

One of the cleverest projects I have ever made is this hidden panel card.




This one was the too cute "Squash Box".



This was a fun little gift box/card that I made where I used the Spellbinders Labels at the handbag flap.


This was a gift box that literally took about 10 minutes to make. Way easy!



I'll be back tomorrow to share a couple of the LO's I did.
Thanks for stopping by.......xxx

As promised, here are some cards that I created for DownUnder Direct to display at SIA. All of these cards featured Spellbinders Dies & Bazzill.





And this was an invitation I made also featuring Spellbinders & Bazzill


Tomorrow I would love to show you some of the cool projects using the new Crafter's Companion. They were a heap of fun!

Thanks for stopping by....xxx
