You can never have too much happy Mini | Celebr8

Hi Everyone Kerrie here with a super cute mini tag booklet that I created by folding just one sheet of patterned paper. This little mini works best with double sided papers but you can still create with single sided. You can add pages if you like too but I have just added tags that I will pop some photos on. This is a great mini whe you want to showcase a small event or just some of your fav photos

I have used the Loving You collection from Celebr8 it is an older collection but your local store may still have some in stock 

 Happy Creating

We know you are going to be as excited as we are with these 4 amazing tutors and their wealth of knowledge and creative genius they will be sharing with you all at Creative Inspiration Live 2020. REGISTER NOW FOR CREATIVE INSPIRATION 2020 Jowilna Nolte I started my paper journey officially in about 2000 as a shop assistant in a specialty paper store in Sandton, Johannesburg, South Africa after having studied Pastoral Psychology. Whilst I have been playing with paper and creating my own masterpieces at home for friends and family since the age of 10, the shop environment added the vast knowledge of handmade and imported paper as well as the common commercial types of paper. I also started teaching card making, stamping and altered art in store at the time. Traveling abroad to trade shows like Paperworld in Frankfurt, Germany and CHA in America gave me an even broader insight into paper and its many uses. This prompted a keen interest in stamping, especially in the craft industry where scrapbooking seems to be my favourite. I have since gone on to be editor of two scrapbooking and craft magazines as well as being a contributing editor to several other craft magazines currently on the market. My work has been published extensively in local magazines and on the internet as well as in international publications such as Somerset Studios, Take Ten magazine, and Catch Up Issues. My love for publishing and sharing ideas, tips and techniques shifted me onto another career path and saw the publication of my first book in 2008. My second book was released in December 2010 and has been on the 4th best seller in South Africa since its release. In less than three months it has been sold out and is now in its second print. Scrapbooking has been a natural extension of my love for card making and stamping that also accommodates my love and passion for photography. I currently teach regular classes and host workshops around the country that mainly focuses on different techniques and stamping, and how to incorporate them into your scrapbooking and card making. I currently design for various distributors in South Africa to promote their products and teach scrapbooking classes weekly as well being on various international design teams including Couture Creations. Creating can be a wonderful journey and therapy making sense of things where life cannot, and I have tuned my life into this philosophy. Visit Jowilna's Blog by Clicking Here Cariena Basson My hometown is Jeffreys Bay, South Africa. I own a Scrapbook Store there, that turned 10 years old this year (2019) I have been teaching Scrapbook classes for 10 years. My passion is paper, ink, stamps and just enjoying what I do. Preserving memories is important to me, so everything I do on my layouts, are done to showcase those precious moments. Coming back to teach for the 2nd time at the Couture Creations Event in Brisbane is an honour. I am super excited to share what I love with everyone. We are going to have so much creative fun! See you all in February ♥ Visit Cariena's Blog by Clicking Here Lucy Campeanu Lucy is no newcomer to the stamping and scrapbooking industry with 12 years designing and making her own stamps under the name Lucy’s Stamps. Traveling all over Australia, New Zealand and even America to teach classes in stamping and scrapbooking. Some of those designs are still being made today. Lucy is passionate about art and teaching people to develop their own creativity. There is a moment when you create something beautiful or learn a new technique that gives you a rush of satisfaction. Lucy has spent the years after selling Lucy’s Stamps, dabbling in many mediums. Some of which are plasma cutting, painting in watercolours, oils, alcohol inks, stained glass, silversmithing and even making a sword in Glastonbury at a forge. Travel journaling and art journaling have become a passion which led back to wanting to design stamps, papers, die cuts. Lucy enjoys taking her hand painted papers, and stamps designs from a concept to a class situation. Living in the beautiful Northern Rivers NSW with her husband Gino. Her style could be described as eclectic, as each new yummy product she finds, brings new exciting ideas and projects. Alcohol inks and stamps are a passion. She believes creative play is good for the soul. Visit Lucy's Blog by Clicking Here Jo Simons Hi! My name is Jo-Anne Simons (tho most call me Jo) and I live in Perth Western Australia. I’m a stay at home mum to 3 teenagers/young adults and happily married to the love of my life all of whom feature heavily in my work. About my work – I love to create layouts and cards. I would describe my work as clustered, clean and pretty. My projects are quite structured with lots of layering, clustering and dimension Although I love to dabble in mixed media – I tend to always come back to my clean simple style. Scrapbooking for me isn’t just about memory keeping, it’s an outlet to be creative and just unwind from the daily stresses of life. I don’t really follow any rules in my papercraft – as long as I enjoy the process and am happy with the end results, then that is all that matters! I am extremely grateful and humbled to be a part of Creative Inspiration Live 2020 and cannot wait to share with you my passion for paper and all things Couture Creations!

Craft & Quilt Fair Recap | Adelaide

#kerriegurney #craftandquiltfair

Oh my goodness I have just realised I didn't share with you all my adventures in Adelaide for the last Craft & Quilt Fair of the year...

What an awesome end to the year as Guest Papercraft Artist for Expertise Events Craft & Quilt Fair

Adelaide is such a pretty city filled with such lovely people.

starting with the beautiful Adriana Bolzon who met me when I got off the plane and then whisked me down to Grange Beach for a lovely lunch followed by a walk along the jetty before dropping me off at the Showgrounds to set up for the last time

My trip to Adelaide was very social having dinner each night my  "show" friends and with those I have met through my time with Couture Creations and through teaching over the last 20 years in the industry.

I didn't take many photos as I was busy enjoying the company of friends but here are some of the highlights

Miss Chrissy and Erika getting their groove on with the morning dance

my beautiful flowers from the lovely Amanda Baldwin (I totally forgot to get a photo of me with Amanda)

I also had a visit from the fabulous Natalie May 

My Make & Takes for Adelaide 

me teaching a card  class

 the beautiful Jacarandas in bloom on our walk to dinner

Craft & Quilt Fair Christmas Party Santa and his helper Cracker

last day of the show i come in and all my displays have been turned around ...see below to see which naughty Guest Artists did this

 I just love these two ..they have made my year on the road so much fun ...we are forever friends the awesomely talented Svenja and the very awesome Miss Chrissy who has the most amazing passion for all things vintage and loves to share her love and passion
If you have the opportunity to take a class or watch a demonstration by either of these two ladies make sure you do you will come away so inspired

So happy to catch up with all of these super talented and super lovely ladies
Amanda Baldwin, Jane Tregenza, Denise Boddey & Adriana Bolzon

time to pop on the high vis one last time and pack down ...also my last time to see the beautiful Erika both sporting our beautiful scarves from Miss Chrissy ..scraves make high viz so much more appealing don't you thik?

 I finished off my trip to Adelaide playing tourist with Adriana what a lovely day we had even with the 38 degree heat

and then a walk around Hahndorf  followed by lunch

meeting some locals :)

the beautiful Old Mill



thanks again to everyone who took one of my classes at the Craft & Quilt Fairs in 2015 I loved every minute of my time as Guest Artist and am so very thankful to Judy, Gary and the whole Expertise Events Team for a truly wonderful year.
