My first ATP swap

Well I couldnt get any quicker than this for my next update. I have just finished my ATP [artist trading pins] which is the first time I have done these , for my online group Arty Oz. I hope they are ok as Im not really sure what was doing but it was fun playing. I have used collections photo fob shapes, silver embossing opals, frinkles, distress paint, pearls , silver flowers , a crafty individuals stamp with staz on ink onto inkjet tranparency and some patterned paper and I cant remember what else. Its amazing how much stuff you can use on such a small item. Anyway hope you like it.

Well hello everyone. Ive finally updating my blog. So what have I been up to. Well I entered the Freds Pass show just recently and won 3 placements. One each in Scrapbooking, photography and card making, so I was happy with that.

Im also very lucky to be involved in a online group called Arty Oz with some very talented ladies and Ive just finished a ATC swap that was to use our cuttlebug. I have plenty of dies and embossing folders so the hardest thing was to pick which one I was to use. I alway look forward to getting my swaps back and seeing what everyone comes up with. So here is my 9 that Im going to send away very soon.

Also Cindy and I went to SIA in Sydney in April for 2 very busy fun filled days doing lots of classes and learning lots of new things. We had a ball and saw heaps new stock that will be coming in the future to Stamp Craft , so check out the shop. We went to a dinner on the Tues night and were lucky enough to be sitting on the same table as Rachel Greig and her hubby Stewart and also a couple of the ladies that were teaching classes at SIA and also the editor of Scrapbooking Creations, and a couple of ladies that have shops in Melbourne. We had a very enjoyable night. Cindy and I came back so exhausted but it was well worth the trip. Some of the techniques we learnt we will showing in the shop - Stamp Craft so keep checking out upcoming classes.

Ok so I will try and make sure I dont leave it so long before I blog again so in the mean time have fun and keep creating !!!!!!!

Cheers Rhonda
