I have just received notification that my order has left American soil and it on its way to Australia.
As soon as it arrives I will be turning off the Distress Stamp Pad Pack, but the good news is that you will be able to purchase Tim’s New Colours Individually, they are already up on the website click here to ensure you get your colours in the first shipment.
There are still a few Distress Stamp Pad Packs left, these are excellent value under $8 for a hot new stamp pad! be quick
Hi Blogggers, Just a quick note today to tell you that we have sold out of the Tim Holtz Mega Distress Pack, we still have a few Distress Stamp Pad Packs left so be quick, our order is expected to arrive this week.
When mounting your Stamps on EzMount, save all the scrappy bits, and store them in a press sealed A4 bag.
The next time you go to mount your stamps you will find that using scrap bit for a little stamp will help prevent cutting into a large sheet.
Always have scraps of paper lying around when you are painting. You can then smooch your brush over the printed or plain paper for a different layered effect. Keep going until your brush is dry, then wash out what little is left.
What you will now have is great backgrounds you can build upon and usually in your favourite colours because who do you know who uses paint in colours they don’t love?
Well I have the most exciting news for you all today, I am pleased to announce that Christina’s Crafts has finally decided to start our very own Design Team.
There have been many suggestions and requests over the years but I believe now is the right time to proceed.
It will be a small team to start with and later this week I will be introducing you to our very first member. I have sent off a special pack full of goodies for her to create so before you know it we will have some wonderful samples to inspire you to create more.
Stay tuned, seeds are flowering down here, its humbling as well as very exciting.
Blessings Christina

Ohh I have the best news, I have located Dark Annealed (we call it ReBar) wire in 6 different gauges, and placed my order.

Hopefully it will make my next shipment which is due to leave America next week, fingers crossed, (although they are quoting 5 days shipping across america!) it’s amazing actually how long it takes for product to be shipped from one side of America to the other, over here in Australia we don’t really appreciate how far the distance is across their country and think 2 days shipping to Perth is just too long to wait!
Anyway here are the sizes, the larger sizes have been ordered in smaller quantities due to the weight, so if you are interested just send Christina an email to dibs your roll
14 gauge 12lb roll
16 gauge 5lb spool
18 gauge 50 ft roll
22 gauge 75 ft roll
24 gauge 100 ft roll
28 gauge 50 ft roll
Here’s something totally new for you
