A few of my favourite things... Micro Tip Scissors
Next on my list of favourite things are the Close To My Heart Non-stick Micro Tip Scissors (Z1836). I have 2 pairs because other people in the house keep borrowing them!
If you cut adhesives, these are a must have because they don't get all gooey afterwards. But that's not the only reason I love them. They

A few of my favourite things... CTMH Ruler
This one is for all my perfectionists and for those of you who can't get things in a straight line no matter how hard you try! I love my Close To My Heart Ruler (Z1471).
I use this tool on every page I create. Here is why I love it...
I use this tool on every page I create. Here is why I love it...
- The upper edge is marked in 1/8" increments which allows for very accurate measuring
- The upper edge has a metal strip reinforcing it so if you cut with a blade, you won't damage the ruler
- The measurements are shown across the full width and length of the rule …
A few of my favourite things... Versamat
My next few posts will feature some of my favourite CTMH tools. Whether you have been scrapbooking and card making for a week or a decade, life is always easier with the right tools. I have to tell you I own 4 cutting mats but when I tried the Versamat, I put all the other ones away and use this one all the time.
The Versamat (Z1279) is so very versatile! At just $20 it is a steal. Here's why I love it...

D.I.Y. Birthday Decorations
It is a long held tradition in our family that we try to avoid using commercial decorations for birthday parties. Since joining Close To My Heart and purchasing a Cricut machine, this task has been made so much easier!
We celebrated my Mum's 85th birthday over the weekend and I thought I'd share some of the items created by my sister and I.
Firstly, the cake! This was a delicious Red Velvet cake baked by my sister, Rhonda. The flowers and bling on the top were made of paper cut on her Cricut. T…

Celebrate!
The first thing I thought of when I saw the Kaboom Stamp of the Month was fireworks. For me fireworks mean New Years Eve celebrations. We had a very quiet night in for New Year last year, watching a Robbie Williams concert and the telecast from Sydney leading up to their fireworks. So, my only photos of the night are a dodgy selfie and a snap of the TV screen!

Freo Architecture
We just love walking around cities and looking up - all sorts of architectural delights await when you raise your eyes above the shop fronts.
For this layout I chose the Paper Fundamentals Basic Assortment Papers (Z1939). They have a monotone, glossy resist pattern on one side a pattern on the other. Both sides accept ink around the edges.
I accented my page with Wood Grain Washi tape (Z1930). For this effect, simply stick a little down, double a bit onto itself and then stick the next little b…

Miss Beauty
This gorgeous, ball obsessed fur baby is Beauty. She is my mum's dog but we care for her now mum is in an aged care home. Mum always says, "Her name is Beauty. Beauty by name and beauty by nature." and she is absolutely right. Beauty loves nothing better than a really long run on the beach chasing a tennis ball. If we are too far behind she will play by herself, letting the ball go at the tide line and then running to catch it just as it hits the water.
I used one of the patterns that came p…

Husbands beware...
It's hard to believe, but Mike volunteered to be locked in the stocks! The lady tour guide at the Round House and I had a really good laugh about that. Lucky for him we had a lunch date planned so I agreed to his freedom.
