NEW designs 29-Oct-08

Okay, so I promised you all new designs, and here they are... Just in time for Halloween we have a spider web and a haunted house.

This funky little spider web is designed to fit in the corner of your layout or card (see pic 2).

Imagine the possibilities...I see a white web covered with sparkly glitter. I also have plans to paint a chipboard spider black, cover with black flock and then add some Kaiser pearl eyes. (chipboard spiders also available from Scrapbook Lady)



And here's my spooky haunted house. It comes with a separate door.

Scroll down for the other new designs from this week (I've put them into separate posts to make searches more productive).

And if these aren't enough for you there are some gorgeous girly designs in production right now that I should have next week...think fairies and flowers :)

Jolly roger

Perfect for boys cards or invitations, or just as an adornment for your scrapbook page this detailed Jolly Roger is very different from others on the market.

Customise him by painting the individual sections with acrylic paint and a fine paintbrush; add some glitter to the diamond in his eye socket, or why not add a rhinestone for some real bling ?!

Fuschia flower

This delicate fuschia lasercut is an edited version of my hummingbird.

Look at this little cutie !

This cute little owl is our newest feathered friend, isn't he adorable ?

And speaking of owls...take a look at the gorgeous layout my friend Vesna created using my other owl.

Remember, if you use any of my lasercuts I'd love to see them. I recently saw a layout in a scrapbook magazine that featured one of my older designs. To say I was THRILLED would be an understatement - it was just like being published myself !

Pink Ribbon Day

Today is PINK RIBBON DAY. October is BREAST CANCER AWARENESS MONTH and today...October 27th...is the day when we REFLECT and REMEMBER those that we love who have been effected by this awful illness.

On the ANZ Fiskars blog we have all dedicated our time and effort into raising funds to fight this disease. Lead Ambassador Dawn Stan has fought her own battle with breast cancer, and won! Read Dawn's emotional and inspirational story here.

On Thursday night we're holding our very own GIRLS NIGHT IN. There will be fun and games, an online auction, prizes, giveaways and project shares. We'd love your company if you can make it !

CONGRATULATIONS GINNY !

Now, if I hadn't run the random generator myself I'd say that was rigged because Ginny is a friend of mine and also randomly won my last blog candy !! Personally, I think it's karma because I just won a blog candy that she referred me to :)

So...because I'm such a nice person and all *wink* I did a BONUS DRAW and got :

So KERRYN, you have also won a lasercut. With Halloween coming up I'm going to send you one of my brand new corner spider webs (I haven't even put it on the blog yet it's so new !). I'll pop a photo up later today so you can see what you've won.

I'll contact both of you girls, but if you see this before you hear feel free to email me (via the link on the right) with your postal address.

Thank you to all of you who left such sweet comments. I have new goodies in production right now, so stay tuned for another blog candy draw soon !

Meet the newest member of our flock

Meet the newest member of our flock, this lovely little owl. He has the additional pieces (shown at right) to allow you to customise him to suit yourself.

Stay tuned later in the week for pics of other new lasercuts.
