Challenge the Designers





A new feature in this edition of the newsletter. This month the Designers were challenged to:





"I'd love to see some getting back to basics layouts - just good design principles without eye-catching embellishments which compensate for a multitude of sins IMO. Pages like: cardstock only more than 3 photos 100 words or more of journalling handmade embellishments using only CS or PP (things like tags, journalling boxes, paper piecing, punchies) hand cut title I could list a gazillion things! And I'd really like to challenge one very clever, very skilled, very creative designer to have a go at using the above list on just one page without it looking cluttered or busy. Now that's a challenge. "





Check out what the Designers have created HERE in the Gallery. And now Michelle has challenged the users of the forum HERE so make sure you check it out and see what you can create. There is a surprise prize pack up for grabs.

Ribbon Bags

Hopefully by now you have seen these bags in the Shop!

What a fantastic innovation... keeps all your ribbons in the one place and keep them out of the dust.

I have just spent the last two days transforming this:

Into This:

I must admit loading the bag up was a big pain in the butt - but well worth the finished result. These ribbon purses hold over 200 ribbons - amazingly I thought I would have filled it... But I still have room for plenty more... I think I need to invest in some different coloured ribbons though!

The first shipment of these bags have sold out... Supplies have been restocked so don't miss out on the next lot!
