Fiskars Craft

Loving this SPRING weather

Just popping in to show you what I have been up to this weekend.....it's been a glorious SPRING day here in the Yarra Valley so I have been picking Lavender from our garden to dry.....I want to make more of these for pressies......my Fiskars Pruners sure came in handy...they are so easy to use!!!

I had to fight off the bees to prune the Lavender...they were having such a nice time pollenating them....

I also found this grass hopper hiding amongst the lavender flowers......can you see him? mmm check out the two bees....think they are up to no good.....LOL!

I have also been washing windows.....OMG.....I hate this with a vengence......but it's a job that can wait no longer.....we actually need to see out of them......LOL!

Arriving by courier yesterday was this package of goodies from Fynmark...product from the Fundamentals and Ruby Rock-It Ranges....

These are the supplies for my Spotlight VIP Xmas Night next Thursday in Bayswater.....don't they look yummy!!!

mmmmm.....need to get cracking on my Make'n'takes......back Monday with some sneak peeks....

So what are you up to this weekend?

Well ....................hello ..................SPRING

This is what i saw outside my back door this morning......ooh....it's a glorious first day of SPRING here in the Yarra Vallley..........what's it like at your place?

It's an outside day for me for sure....how about YOU??

I spied this Rock Orchid near our verandah.....first time it has flowered since it was given to us by a dear friend......there are only 2 flowers.....so once it multiplies we shall give some back to Jack.....thanks Jack for passing this on to us to nurture for you......that's what I love about garden lovers.....sharing the passion....sharing plants......and helping keep our world full of beautiful plants.

Did you know that FISKARS make some incredible GARDENING TOOLS? I'll be giving my FISKARS secateurs a good work out this week!

Lattice Corner Lever Punch ~ Tracy Punches her way into SPRING

Fiskateer # 6773 has sent through this gorgeous Spring Card.  Thanks Tracy....love this !!

Here is our first daffodil of pring. I don’t normally makephotos in to cards but this one just called out for some extra attention. As you can see, I have made a double mat using the new Fiskars Lattice Corner Lever Punch.

To make the 2nd layer look neat, Icut out some quarter circles and tucked them under the lattice to make the cutout pattern stand out more.

Tracy has also started to create some fun Aussie Christmas Cards using this same Lattice Lever Punch....aren't they stunning!! She has used some photos to create these cards along with the Lattice Lever Punch......

and in the next card Tracy has alternated the colours for another stunning and very original Aussie Christmas Card.......wouldn't you just love to get one of these lovely cards this Christmas!!!
