Coming soon – open house!

Hello lovely people

I will be organising another Open House soon, of course it will be in a new house since I have moved!  I hope to have more details up next week but if you’d like to join my new mailing list please drop a line to krismarr(at)iprimus(dot)com(dot)au as I’ll be sending through lots of exciting Kaszazz updates shortly.

Please note if you haven’t been reading along with me,  I have now moved to my wee little hometown of Myrtleford, situated in North East Victoria and often referred to as gateway to the Alps!  I will continue to take orders from any of my Shepparton customers but delivery will only be once a month now.  I can also take orders from anywhere else in Australia so feel free to contact me for more information.  If you prefer to deal with someone in person I can put you in touch with one of the fantastic consultants close to you.

Last weekend I attended a National Team Training Day in Bendigo to see all the lovely new goodies Kaszazz has released.  Wow they just keep amazing me how much they have grown as a scrapbooking/card making company.  They are really keeping up with current trends and bringing out some gorgeous paper ranges and stamps.  It was just what I needed to kick start my business again.  Speaking of which I suddenly feel the need to go create something!

See you on the flip side

Open House ~ Fun times had by all!

I apologize for this post being so late – it’s like I just can’t keep real life and blog life matching time-wise.

Therese C. from Numurkah won the Mega Prize of over $200 worth of scrapbooking goodies.   She was rather chuffed and excited when I let her know.

The Open House and Free Make and Take was a blast, I think it’s safe to say everyone had a great time learning about the new products, sipping champas, muching on cupcakes and winning lots of prizes.  Thanks ladies for sharing the fun!  Unfortunately I was too busy enjoying myself to remember to take photos – next time I will delegate that job to someone.  I do have some to share of the projects though…the first two are my designs..what do you think?

This is one of my favorites.  I’ve used Smooch Sugarberry on the flower which happens to co-ordinate perfectly with our purple fabric flowers and funky card base.  The black and white polka dot paper is the B-side of one of our new Romance papers.

Can you guess who loves polka dots?  I just can’t help myself when it comes to this pattern!  I’ve used gold embossing on this card and highlighted with red Siren Smooch.  The dots are also a B-side, from our Merry Christmas range.  I love how most of the B-sides in Kaszazz’s paper ranges are non themed because you get so much more use out of them.

This was the project that everyone got to make – in various colours as it uses card from the funky pack.  We actually made these at NTTD and everyone was so impressed by how fantastic they look for so little effort.  Well ditto at my open house and this particular Design Adhesive – Daisy Daze was an absolute hit!  (and BTW I have the matching rollergraph wheel too hee hee).  I am also loving the new Top Boss glitters that we have, I think they are the most sparkly glitters I have ever seen or used.

Now these tags were just some playing around I did to show some of the ladies how to use rub ons, distress ink, the ink blending tool and distress embossing powder.  The tag on the right I had made before the day and it was the inspiration for the gift tags featured below.  I think I still need to do a lot more experimenting with the distress ep as I’m just not sure if I’ve got it right yet.

Now these little beauties I made to attach to the free gift that everyone received on the day.  Can I tell you how much I love them?  A WHOLE LOT!  When I started making them it was one of those “don’t know if this will work but here goes” moments.  I made them all together doing each step like an assembly line, I just kept thinking, if it doesn’t look right I’ll just keep blending and stamping until it does.  Now we all know that sometimes that can end in disaster but luckily I didn’t need to go down that track as these just came together like a charm.  I decided to use curling ribbon instead of fabric ribbon as I wanted to tie it right around the gifts like little parcels.  I think the purple gives it a bit of oomph.  And did you notice that gorgeous chandelier stamp – I have been hanging out for one for a very long time, I almost bought a non Kaszazz one but I’m still sticking to my guns about not buying more stuff until I use what I’ve got.

That about wraps it up peeps.  So what do you think of my creations?  Are you into ripping and distressing and inking all over your projects or do you prefer the clean, streamlined look?  Leave me a comment as I’d love to know if you’re embracing this current “distressing” trend or not.

Don’t forget that I will be hosting an Open House & Free Make and Take after each new product release from Kaszazz so be sure to check back here for the next dates in May and September.

I’ve got photos to share of our Kaszazz national team training day (NTTD) and I am determined to post them in the next few days so be sure to come on back!

Til next time

….Therese C. from Rutherglen!

Congratulations Therese I will be in touch soon.

Folks there are plenty more chances to win free products at the open day and you can still RSVP right up until the 24th.  Click here for more information.

I am a busy little bee getting things organised but I hope to be able to post some photos this weekend.  I just put in for Monday off so weeheeeee Kris has a five day weekend.  Yep you read that right, I get Monday off annual leave, Tuesday off for Australia Day and Wednesday is my regular non working weekday.  Bonus!  Hmm I guess now I have no excuses to to get those pictures up here and write some posts right?

Do any aussie readers have any Australia Day plans or traditions?  We haven’t really thought that far ahead (yes I know it’s only four days away!) and I don’t even know if James will have to work or not.  I think at least a bbq is order though.  I’d love to know what you will be doing this Australia Day – let me know via the comments.

cheers
