Lip balm holder..

HI All, Sorry I have been slack posting I have been working most days and although I have created some items, its taken me forever to photograph and load but anyhow here is a cute Lip balm holder made with the dress die cut.

There are lots of instructions out on the web to make boxes to hold a lipstick, I wanted something quick and easy so I made a belly band and a little ledge for the balm to sit on. These would make great Party Favors for Girls birthday parties or hens nights. I have stamped the swirl from Creative Elements stamp set and the embossing folder is from the main catty too.
Hope you like it, have a great weekend. 
Happy Mother's Day to all the mums in Australia

Colour Refresh...


Announcing our Colour Refresh! We love colour and we know that you do too. Colour is fundamental to who we are and what we offer. It's important for us to stay up-to-date with colour trends so we are thrilled to share our updated line of colours, and hope you will be as excited as we are by the new possibilities!
Why now? In 2010 we did a big colour renovation and shared our plans for smaller colour refreshes every three to five years to keep our colours on trend. Well it has been three years and we are excited to announce that the upcoming 2013-2014 annual catalogue will include 10 new colours (most of which are returning In Colors from previous years)! We are welcoming back some of your favourites, moving some colours around, and introducing three brand-new colours, so take a look.
Beginning on 4 April 2013, all retiring/discontinued colour products (i.e. ink, paper, ribbon, accessories, etc.) will be available only while supplies last. This means that some products will not be available through the retired list period
So Many wonderful colours are discontinueing, I sure will miss More Mustard, Regal rose, bashful blue and pretty in pink( good for baby cards), Remember to order while there are some, stocks maybe limited.
I look forward to hearing from you today.
