Tim Holtz Idea-ology & Prima Marketing

Two wonderful well known brands in the scrapbooking industry, now on the shelves at Scrap Box NZ.  I mentioned in the newsletter before Christmas, that I hope to bring you Tim Holtz and more of Prima products.  Well I've had fun sourcing them and now they have arrived.  I've added them to the great range of products that Scrap Box NZ carry.

Tim Holtz has joined together with some companies that he designs for - Ranger & Sizzix.  When you are looking for his products you will find them under - Embellishments - Tim Holtz or Ranger Mini Distress Ink and also Sizzix Embossing Folders with his Alterations Texture Fades folders.
Enter his name in the Advance Search & all his products that Scrap Box NZ are currently stock will come up.

Prima Marketing are also a favorite brand that Scrap Box NZ is adding too. SoonI'll be entering the new products that have arrived, including Julie Nutting's dolls(stamps & wooden).  Pop over to the shop and check out what's arriving.

New Year's Dreams

A little bit late in showing you this, but summer in Nelson has finally arrived with vengeance. Lovely hot days at the beach, cricket in the evening or walks around the neighborhood.  Just lovely.  All of that is distracting me from getting work done!

I was asked by a friend to make a card for her.  Well what an honor to make a card for the New Years Queens Service Awards recipient.  This Award was to Devon McLean for his contribution to Conservation.  Crimson Purple was set up to save the Pohutukawa & Rata trees.  Devon is also the Project Manager for Janszoon Project which hopes to transform the ecological heart of the Able Tasman.  My daughter was lucky enough to help release the Karariki (yellow-crowned parakeet) into the Able Tasman which she really enjoyed.

Because of Devon's involvement in Crimson Purple, I fussy cut around some Pohutukawa pictures.  I included the Karariki that shows also his involvement in the Janszoon Project and added some Green Tara leaves for dimension.  The top left hand bird is on foam tape (again for dimension) and behind the words is Green Organza Ribbon.  Really nice to be creating again.

Christmas Chaos!

It's been a hive of activity in my scrap room today. Being Santa's helper, I've wrapped the presents, made the tags, got the bits & bobs for the Stocking's all ready.  Now it's time to sit back with a glass of wine and wonder what I've forgotten!

Have a fantastic day tomorrow 

and from my family to yours 

a very Merry Christmas.
