The new Spellbinders have arrived in store...well some of them anyway and they are GORGEOUS!!! If you like Spellbinders you are going to love these new ones. I know I can't wait to have a play with them! There are many more still to come but these are just my first shipment. If there is one in particular that you MUST HAVE (like all of them if you are like me!) then just drop me an email or a call and I'll let you know if I have it or if it is coming. A couple more are coming in my next order and then there will be more to come after that but I haven't ordered all of the designs, so like I said if you want something in particular let me know. At the moment I have in stock:   Labels 22 - $29.95  Tear Drop Circles - $29.95    Picot Circles - $29.95  Labels 23 - $29.95    Post Stamps - $29.95  Spiral Blossom Two - $22.95    Ironworks Accents - $32.95 

A couple of new ranges of Kaisercraft paper have just arrived in store. Just in time for you to start on your Christmas cards. The new ranges have some beautiful designs. Here is just a small sample of them. This one is Silly Season and has a beautiful mix of bright greens, red and pinks. Lots of baubles, trees and reindeers in this collection.  This one is one of my favourites - December 25th. It has a distinct vintage appearance with the darker greens, reds and browns and lots of images of Santa. And this one is Miss Nelly. Some beautiful pinks, turqoise and reds in floral designs. All these papers are just $1.25 each with some specialty papers also available and I have a few of the 6.5" paper pads available for just $10.95. These have extra designs in them and also some die cuts. Great for card making with smaller versions of the 12" X 12" designs.

The last workshop for the Trinitage Box had to be postponed due to unforseen circumstances. I will therefore run the workshop again at a later date. So if you couldn't make it  before and would like to come along just let me know. If you have already purchased a kit and would like to come along and make the box on the day you are more than welcome to do that too...no extra charge, just bring your complete kit with you.  I have yet to finalize a date for this workshop but it will be on a Sunday or a Saturday afternoon. Cost - $25 Bookings are essential as places are limited. Please email me kookacft@bigpond.com to book your place. Tea, Coffee & Biscuits will be available for morning or afternoon tea & sandwiches supplied for lunch. If you are unable to attend in person but would like a kit please contact me and I can arrange a kit to be posted to you. I will even post overseas for the cost of the kit plus a small postage fee.

Hello again,   Well it's time to announce a new competition. Last weekend was Father's Day here in Australia so with that in mind I have chosen the theme of a MALE CARD . So basically a card designed for a man. These are always tricky but we have made a few in class just recently. I hope you can all get your thinking caps on and come up with some fantastic designs again.     As an example this is one of the male themed cards that we made in class just recently for Father's Day. Remember though, you can't use a class card, you have to come up with your own idea. I know men's cards are hard but I hope that won't deter you. This competition is designed to challenge you so come on lets see what you can come up with :o)                   TO ENTER: Simply make a card, scrapbooking page or other project following the theme and give it to me, email me a picture or a link to your project. The winner will be drawn on October 1st and don&

And the winner is....... Shakerah!! Congratulations Shakerah. Your $20 store voucher is waiting for you :) Shakerah is 12 years old and made this fabulous teapot. The theme was die cuts or punching and Shakerah  used both on this project. The handle and base of the teapot are punched and the tag and roses are die cut. An amazing amount of work and effort and a well deserved win. Thank you to everyone who entered the competition. There were some fabulous cards entered and some fantastic designs. It was very hard to pick a winner with so many great cards to choose from. I wish I could choose more than one winner but there can be only one. Here are the other entries for you all to see...in no particular order...  Pam Lisa Dorothy Pam Pam Maralene Patricia Patricia Maralene Val  Val             Thanks again everyone.
