More Stamp Club Goodies

Last night, was the second Stamp Club meeting for March, so all my lovely ladies have made their Easter goodies, so I will now share the other two projects we created. Alongside the Top Note Quilt Card, here, they also made two more items using the Top Note Die and the 'A Good Egg' stamp set.

One was a purse, and the other a bag topper. All of these projects also included some paper piecing as this was the technique I taught this month, a really simple technique but so, so effective.

If you would like more details on my stamp clubs feel free to email me, they are held in Atwell, WA and you get all the benefits of being a hostess, without the hassle of actually hosting a party ie, I do the cleaning, tea/coffee etc and you still are entitled to your hostess sets and hostess dolllars - it couldn't be simpler!!

Didn't make it!

I had every intention of creating and posting on Sunday, but what is it they say about the best intentions..... well that's what happened here it all went wrong. How dare some unknown virus get in the way of my personal challenge, for the first time in my life I have been signed off work by the doctor, so have had heaps of time on my hands but have done nothing creative at all - I've managed to sleep the time away, which feels like such a waste but was so needed.

Anyhow here is one of the items my gorgeous Stamp Club ladies will be creating soon, we are basing our creations around Easter and the use of the Top Note Die, which I have been dieing (pun intended!!) to get my hands on! Once again I have used that very cute chickie from A Good Egg stamp set.



I'm also going to enter this into the Just Add Ink Easter Challenge if I get there in time, I'm not sure on the time difference!

Easter Pressies for Teachers

I decided that I really should start all the Easter things that I need to do, I want to make Easter pressies for all the children in both Liberty and Aedyn's classes, Aedyn needs an Easter bonnet and between them they have seven teachers - school, Kindy and daycare - so needed to make a start. I was also motivated by the Just Add Ink blog, when their challenge this week was all things Easter.

It also seemed like a good idea to play with more new toys from the upcoming Mini, this time my Big Shot came out to play. I placed such a big pre-order (!) that with my Hostess dollars, I was able to order the Pillow Box die as a freebie, and I love it. It creates these cute little boxes in a matter of seconds and aren't they gorgeous? Especially coupled with the very cute chick from the 'A Good Egg' set, I love pink and green together so was very happy with how these turned out. They'll be even better once they're filled with chocolate.
