Card makers and scrap bookers - Giveaway

Hello my lovely friends, I hope all my aussie friends had a lovely Anzac Day yesterday. I tried to take a day off and stayed away from the laptop for as long as I could.

I did get into the spare room which has been overrun by stock for my store and started tidying up a little. While I was at it I found some extra templates I still have from my Creative Memories Days. 

I don't need that many of each one so I thought of my wonderful supportive friends and decided I will give them away as a thank you.

To enter make sure you are a follower and leave a comment on this post. 

I will announce the winner tomorrow.

For a second chance pop over to my Facebook page like it and leave a comment there too. 

I have 5 to give away here and 5 to give away on Facebook.

I will choose 10 random winners and I am happy to post anywhere in the world. 

If you have a preference please let me know I will try to accommodate but no promises.

I will leave it open until 10am tomorrow, Australian Eastern Standard Time.

Thanks again and have a great day!

Easter Gifts

Well I finally started working on our Easter gifts last night. I am purposefully trying to reduce the amount of chocolate that we get and give as I am one of five girls and WH is one of four children and we all get together at some stage over the Holidays and exchange gifts. This generally results in enough chocolate to last us through to Christmas (or close enough). The last couple of years I have tried to make my gifts smaller but more meaningful by making a part of the gift. This year I found a great template posted by Maddie at Li'l Magoolie, if you haven't ever visited I highly recommend it. Maddie has a really fun blog with great ideas. Anyway her gift to us was a down loadable template for these great baskets and I decided to take advantage of her generosity and use her template (with slight modifications) and get started on our Easter gifts for this year.

My supplies:

Scrapbook paper

Ribbon

Chocolate for the gifts and a little for me!

(it was a long day yesterday and I couldn't keep going last night without some help)

Scissors, tags, texta, ruler This is what the paper looks like after cutting the template out.

I managed to save some chocolate for gifting to others

Fold up the sides to create a square pyramid

Tie with a ribbon and add a gift tag. Voila! Easter gifts sorted

(OK I am less than half done but I will finish the rest tonight! Gifts, not chocolate!)

Hopefully the recipients will like them! I can vouch for the chocolate eggs, they're good!
