Vintage Artistry Cards

Hi Lovelies,

The wonderful Linda has joined us again to create some seriously stunning

cards with the 'Vintage Artistry' collection from 49 and Market.

Linda designed and taught these three amazing cards a few weeks ago,

and the ladies were nothing but impressed

with how they turned out!

These papers are just perfect for fussy-cutting as there are so many

flowers, ferns and leaves to embellish with!

To continue with the vintage theme of the collection, Linda distressed the papers and fussy-cut elements. This step is optional, yet it adds an extra element to these stunning cards.

As always with Linda, a card is never truly finished without a sweet little something inside.

Linda used stained muslin, jute twine and a fussy-cut

butterfly to complete this card.

Linda's second card features a coordinating envelope embellishment to

store an eclectic of fussy-cut elements and distressed muslin.

How sweet!

Anything could be added to the feature envelope depending on your taste.

It's all about layers and fussy-cutting when

it comes to Linda's cards!

Here's a little peak inside.

A few strips of patterned paper, muslin and

fussy-cutting to finish it off.

The final card focuses on more of the green tones from the paper range by using

green card-stock as the base and a few hints

of Tim Holtz distress ink.

Every piece of paper has a purpose; even the barcode.

Linda used this piece as a sentiment with a bit of stenciling and distressing to complete.

Linda's cards are just stunning!

Keep your eyes out for her next class to join in the fun.

In the meantime, come down to the Scrap N Patch to pick up the

last of these gorgeous papers before they run out!

A magical day at Franz Josef and Fox Glaciers

Today was our planned helicopter ride to see the glacier and have a snow landing. We were a tad worried as the weather report the night before was not all that encouraging. We had a bit of a slow start and checked in at the flight desk at 10am as requested. The advice was, the flight would go ahead - however with the changing weather conditions the snow landing would be determined on a minute by minute basis. If the landing was scrapped we would have additional flight time added to keep our trip to the same length. Honestly we were just happy to be able to take off. Safety briefing done, the loading crew led us to the helipads. They were pretty cool. Looked a little like landing pads for space craft. The pads are made from the rocks that make up a large part of the landscape of the area. We were given our assigned seats and Thomas (our pilot) got us sorted and...

Final wrap up of our NZ visit

We have had an amazing time visiting the South Island, and also a few days in the North at Wellington to mainly visit the WETA workshop. On Saturday the 29th Nov we flew up to Wellington for a few days to have a look about and visit the WETA workshop. Wellington did live up to its reputation of being windy. Its a nice city built around a harbor. Most things are easy walking distance from the city centre. We took a few walks along the harbor. Elizabeth wanted to try what they call white bait. It looks like worms with eyes. It was cooked with egg. Neither of us were a great fan of this. We took the cable car up the mountain to see the sights and buy more souvenirs :). Our main objective was to visit the WETA workshop who have lots of special effects and prosthetics used in films such as LOTR. The shop was amazing with lots of expensive models but also prints and other items at reasonable rates. We had orders from family for few things and we also purchased a couple...
