Echo Park Yours Truly - Valentine Cupcakes

A rainy Saturday afternoon.......it's CUPCAKE making time!!

And keeping with this week's ongoing Valentine theme - I prettied them up with little Hearts on Sticks.
Which brings me to my favourite item in the Echo Park Yours Truly Collection - the 6x6" paper pad:

These pads are just perfect for paper hoarders (like ME!). They have 24 pages of 6x6" papers - that's 2 pages from each of the designs in the collection. So handy for card making and for other little paper projects like these hearts. I simply cut the shapes out using a heart shape stencil and threaded them onto bamboo skewers.

Oh, and I had to 'bling up' at least one of them, didn't I??!!
Red Spotted Heart features 2mm Ruby Red Sticky Bling

Have a great weekend!

Happy Creating!

My Mind's Eye Love Me - Valentine's Card

Hi Scrappy Bloggers!
Well, I was 'subtly' reminded the other day (thanks Mel!) that Valentine's Day is fast approaching. So today I sat at my very crowded work table, moved aside a couple of Jurassic Piles of off-cuts, paperwork, stickers, postcards (you name it, it's all on my table today!!) and made a little Valentine's card.

I used paper from the My Mind's Eye Love Me collection - the 'Numbers Grid' design. These double-sided papers are so gorgeous....both sides are just love love love! The little heart is actually cut from the reverse side of that same Numbers Grid sheet.

I added a Tim Holtz Game Spinner to the heart because......well, just because I love them! And that's reason enough isn't it!

Here's a look at more papers from the Love Me collection -

And Stamped:

Love them? I sure do!! They just says Valentine's all over. And they're all available in store now.

Happy Scrapping!

Bo Bunny Zoology

Ok, so unpacking that Big Box of goodies...and I couldn't help myself.....I had to start with the Bo Bunny Zoology collection.

We all have too many zoo photos put aside to be "scrapped one day" don't we? Well, I know I do. And on my recent holiday I visited San Diego Zoo so that's about another....mmmmm....dozen.....2 dozen....lol....photos. Now this collection is just perfect! Check out the paper:

That's the 'Zebra' page. The collection features 10 double-sided prints as well as cut-outs, stickers, chipboard - even a mini album:

How cute is that!? Then to embellish your creations, there are clear stamps for the stampers...

...die-cut designs for the Paper Junkies (that's me..lol)...

Brads for the Dimension Lovers...

...and my personal favourites - TRINKETS!

Aren't they just gorgeous? These cameo-style embellishments are a great way to add a touch of distinction to your projects.

Inspired yet? You can find the Zoology collection HERE.

Happy Scrapping!

Back to Work...and the Arrival of the BIG BOX!

Wow! It's been aweful quiet on the Aunty Vera front hasn't it!?
I hope everyone had a lovely Christmas and a great start to 2012.

I spent most of December away on holidays with my family. We went to Disneyland, San Diego and Los Angeles (with a little side trip to Vegas). Very exciting! But also very difficult getting back into work mode after that. So here is a good way to kick start the year...

It's the arrival of the BIG BOX! Filled with amazing new goodies!!
Sneak peek for you...

Think Bo Bunny 'Zoology':

Echo Park 'Yours Truly':

My Mind's Eye 'Love Me':

Excited? I am!
These collections will be uploaded to the website over the next couple of days.

And I'll be back tomorrow with some more Scrappy News.
