I had my first play with our new Water Colour Paint set today and it was FUN!    I have opened the lid of the paints several times but I've been too scared to have a go.

After chatting to a couple of consultants at our state training day yesterday I was encouraged to just try something small and easy.

A card is a good first project when trialling new products.  A card is a good first project when trialling new products.


I simply painted 3 shades of blue across a piece of white daisy cardstock, let it dry, stamped on top of it and then trimmed it down.  It's…

The Zoe Workshop on the Go features colours in our Whimsy range.  They are soft and help to make your photos 'pop' on the page.  This page highlights  our time in Waikiki, Hawaii as part of the Incentive Trip I earned for Mike and I in February.  It's where surfing came from!

Carborders - What's that all about?

sept-2-pages-page-007
I share a love of paper, stickers, bling, inks and stamps with card makers and album makers.  We are often all creating in the same room at a workshop.

One of the things I love to do for my customers is offer the opportunity to try new products via a Make and Take project.  I'm always in a dilemma about whether the project should be a card or a page border.

So, I put my thinking cap on and found a way to make something everyone can use!  It's called a Carborder. We begin with a 4" strip of cardsto…

Bunting Title Scrapbook Layout

CASEing layouts is one of my favourite pass times! Why strain my brain when someone else has done a fine job?  What's CASEing you ask?  C.A.S.E stands for 'Copy And Share Everything'.  Whenever you copy someone else's layout, you are CASEing it.

'Four Squares' Scrapbook Layout

sept-2-pages-page-007
Creating texture with embossing folders is so easy!  It transforms plain cardstock into something wonderful.  In this layout I started with 3 plain cardstock colours (Whisper, Bamboo & Lagoon) and one Paper Fundamentals (Bamboo) sheet. I cut 4, 2" squares from each piece and used a variety of embossing folders on the plain cardstock.
