Fridge Decoration.....

I found these cute little round tins online, and thought that they would make fantastic window box style magnets for the fridge.  I've just today given them to Megan from Gone Dotti (see sidebar for link).

Here is the first one, using Play Date DSP, monkey from Fox and Friends and tree from Four in a Row.

 Old Olive and Chocolate Chip.  I have raised the money up on a stack of 3 dimensionals and the tree on 1.  It's a bit hard to see the effect in the photo.

This one uses the same sets and DSP, but a different sheet and hence different colours.

Regal Rose and Tempting Turquoise

This photo gives you an idea of how high the tins are - the punch is the owl punch.

This one uses the Good Friends set, with the retired Walk in the Park DSP.  I've stamped the sentiment and butterfly onto acetate, so that the pattern of the DSP shows through subtly.

This one shows the dimension better.  I've raised up both the sentiment and then the butterfly higher again.

And another one with retired DSP, but it matches the stamp set. 

Same retired DSP, butterfly from Cottage Garden.

Inviting......

Thought I'd share with you a set on invitations that I've made up for the Gone Dotti Shop at Paddington.  (see link on my side bar!).

They feature several of the stamps from the new set called Inviting.  I have to say that while I am a die hard wood block lover, there are times when I am really appreciating the clear block option, and this is one of them.  Believe it or not, the image below has 3 individual stamps from the set laid out on the clear block. This allows you to stamp the entire image at once, maintaining the same distance and arrangement for all of the invites.

The little bags that I have made to go with the invites are to be used as little 'party bags' and they are just big enough to fit in a few little treats.  Just the way to end a party!  And I love being able to co-ordinate my thank you's with the invites.

Stamps: Inviting, Perfect Punches

Card stock: Kiwi Kiss, Cameo Coral (both retired), Whisper White

Ink: Rose Red

I've Gone Dotti.....

If you live in Brisbane, you'll know about the wonderful and unique shopping that is available on La Trobe Terrace in Paddington.  Well, at number 200 is a fantastic shop called Gone Dotti, owned and run by the very talented Megan.

It is with much excitement that I can now announce that I've Gone Dotti........in that I am selling some of my hand stamped items in this amazing shop.

Here is the gorgeous way that Megan has displayed my cards - very cleverly in a picnic basket.

And I'm even featured in the front window display, with a selection of bird cards (showcasing the Good Friends stamp set).

Gone Dotti sells only handmade gifts, and the shop supports over 50 local artists.  If you are in the Paddington area, please pop in, say hello to Megan and tell her that I sent you.  Make sure you take your wallet though, as there are soooooo many fantastic gifts there.  I can see my Christmas shopping being very easy this year. 

Happy Stamping.....Manda
