January 2023 - Happy Arty Crafty New Year - Salvaged Finds in Art

Its so good for the soul and our planet to be buying less, reusing and recycling, sharing with others and visiting Op shops. There is so much joy and satisfaction felt from making something out of preloved things, finding a worthy home for that little thing saved from so many years ago (whether its a button or page salvaged from an old book). Use the old with the new and simply create more art!

Distress Dylusions and Dina - Sept 2022 Update

Today is a new day, full of new ideas, new designs and new arty essentials! It is Saturday, 24th September 2022 - and tonight (or really early Sunday morning for us), both Dyan Reaveley and Tim Holtz are going live, introducing their latest creations along with amazing samples. 

For those who are new to Tim's world, he has a live video stream in Youtube every Saturday night (our Sunday morning) which is recorded and saved on his Youtube channel for always ... it is entertaining, informative and fun!

September arrivals from Dylusions by Dyan Reaveley include Couture Stencils, Shimmer Paints and large Black Grid Dot Journal. The colours are beautiful. Buy now or watch their spaces for another day, the choice is totally yours :) Love new arty treasures! 

Dyan's other fantastic sets of Dylusions stamps include the purrfectly adorable Mr Boo (Dyan's Cat) having a sleigh ride on a large stamp that is big enough to fit across a whole page! The reindeer and sleigh are split into 2 stamps to enable us to fly around corners or across the middle of a spread easier :) How cool is that! The adorable birds and elves / gnomes set called "Just Robbin Along" is here too :)

Almost Here from Dyan and Dylusions ... (fabulous Alphablock, stitchery and leafy stamps, plus Shimmer Paints and Shimmer Sprays (both in Squeezed Orange and Mushy Peas) are due to land within 1-2 weeks (therefore late Sept or early Oct 2022) as they're already on their way!
