Adding a simple Extraordinary Mrs Grossman's Sticker to a plain white gift bag gives the bag that added personal touch for someone special..........these stickers shall be ranging in Spotlight Stores next month.....so keep an eye out for them.....I have added the butterfly sticker to the other side of this bag.......
...and the fresh daffodils are out of our back garden.........nothing like a vase of freshly cut flowers to brighten up the home!

I love to make cards while we are at our HH in Paynesville so I was in my element on the weekend playing around with some Mrs Grossman's Stickers and some Cloud 9 Foil Trimmed Alphas..........
I also used the new Fiskars Adhesive Tabs and Fiskars Adhesive Foam Strips for a bit of a 3-D look under some of the Foil Trimmed Alphas ......and under some of the matted Birthday Cake and Candle Mrs Grossman's Stickers.
It also meant I got to play with some Pink product for a change......and I so love that!
Lately I have been punching a lot of things with the Fiskars "threading water" border punch.....so I have used it on some of these cards as well...and then inked the edges.....and the thing I love most about the two new border punches...."threading water" and "leave it to weaver" is that they punch through Bazzill.....gotta' love that!
They are much stronger punches!

I have had fun the past week finishing off an Altered Canvas using some of the gorgeous Cloud 9 Vellum Flowers.
With my Dad's Memorial tomorrow I have been thinking a lot about him the past few weeks and the wonderful memories keep coming back....no more so than his love of the "GARDEN" .....my Dad loved planting plants and loved to nurture and care for them. He often said that the garden is where there is always LIFE! He got so much pleasure from "gardening" and he loved to share his knowledge with others.
Something that he has passed on to his own children.....and now we all have lovely gardens that we also cherish and care for......thanks Dad!!
So here is my Altered Canvas to share with you all......the pic was taken by me last year at his funeral. I have chosen to combine Cloud 9 Vellum Flowers, Mrs Grossmans stickers.....aren't they just the cutest stickers? ....I have also included some Cloud 9 Raindot frogs from the Baby Boy Range....oh and some rub-ons from the Cloud 9 "Be Loved" Range.....I haven't quite finished it as I think it needs some sponging around the edges with green paint......but this is what I've done so far.....(click on the pic for an enlarged view)

I'm a little late here but thought I would still share what I did for the challenge over the weekend :)
I think this is a real *in-the-moment* kind of shot. I decided to scrap this photo of our son Elijah who was very tired after a day at the beach. We got up bright and early one Saturday morning (at 4am!), picked up my parents and went for a great big adventure! We watched the sunrise over the beach (2.5 hours from our house) then went to a nearby lagoon where the kids fished with my dad while Brett (my gorgeous dh) cooked us all a yummy hot brekky :) The kids played for hours at the beach finding shells and chasing waves - things they've only done a handful of times before in their lives. You can imagine what an exciting day this was for them!
I snapped this shot of my son just as we were winding up to go home and I think it captures perfectly how tired he was (but content too!) after such a fun day. They are still talking about it asking when we can go on a *morning adventure* again!
Here's my layout called Tired Baby??? (sorry the picture quality isn't all that great with it being so wonderfully rainy but I hope you get the idea!)
See that checker board border above the photo? That's a Mrs Grosman's Baby Boy Design Lines sticker and the cluster of little chipboard shapes to the right are pieces from the Heidi Grace Only Time Journal Prompts Punchboard which I am totally L-O-V-I-N-G at the moment! You have to get your hands on this stuff - makes for VERY easy funky and stylish layouts! Here's a little close up too:
Why not try a challenge today to help kickstart your scrapping passion?
Love & blessings,
Lus x

Have you seen the Mrs Grossman stickers in K-Mart.
Oh so cute and very easy to use. I made these cards last night using scraps of patterned paper and cardstock. A little bit of ink, a printed or handwritten message and you have a card finished for a birthday or other occassion. These stickers are perfect for big and little kids. Simple cards like these are great for the kids to make whilst on school holidays. A few stickers and your patterned paper and cardstock scraps, and the kids will be amused for hours.
Cheers, Dawn

It's amazing how some "happy mail" can inspire you to create.......yesterday I received these Mrs Grossman's stickers in my mail from FISKARS.
How cute are the flowers with the faces........aren't they just the gorgeous little faces........well I thought so.......and I have been trying to finish off a little Scrapping Clearly Album from Kylie Tout that I had ordered ages ago.......using the gorgeous Autumn pics I had taken in Bright recently.....so off I went to play......and here is what I have done so far.....I just need to add some more rub-ons and a little more journaling......I so needed to just play today......needed to get my hands working with product again......as lately I have spent way to much time working and not playing!!
I also have some ideas for cards with these Mrs Grossman's stickers and some OTP projects in mind....these stickers shall be available through Spotlight stores around August.
......feel free to leave a comment below and I'll RAK 2 sets. I'll put all names in a container and draw a random winner tomorrow night......... xoxo Lyn Dwyer

Hi everyone,
Did you know that FISKARS have also acquired some Mrs Grossman's stickers?
Have you seen any around? Try looking in K-MART..........and they may be found still in some LSS I believe! These stickers have been around for a few years...........
Recently some of our Victorian Demonstrators were given some of these to play with........we shall also be sending some out to some of our Ambassadors to play with soon.
Here is what Cindy Hearty came up with........aren't they just beautiful......to think that you can be so creative with stickers........thanks for sending these to me Cindy! Cindy is such an enthusiastic FISKARS Demonstrator and we love her work!!
This particular range of Mrs Grossman's sickers are not yt available in K-MART but thought you might like to see how Cindy has turned these blck and white stickers into something quite special!
other themes are availabel though.... xoxo Lyn
Hasn't she done a wonderful job?
So keep your eye out for some Mrs Grossman's stickers.......and have a play with some colouring in.....yes......nothing like getting out the water colour pencils we all brought a few years ago and put them in our stash...LOL! .....so go get them out and why not pop into a K-MART store this week....they are ranging quite a few themes with these stickers......
xoxo Lyn
