About Me

My photo
I live in Wattle Grove NSW and I'm married to a great guy. We have 3 fur-babies, Abbey the Dachshund x, Benny the Maltese x, and Chocco the cat. I am addicted to card making, scrap booking, and OTP's... basically anything papercrafty! I'm also a mixed media wannabe. I've been card making for the last 20+yrs and never thought it would last this long! I'm also a Stampin' Up! demo. We move all over the Country and have lived in 6 states in last 13yrs!

2016 OnStage Swaps

Hi all!

It's finally arrived... Stampin' Up OnStage! Tomorrow I will be at the Hilton Hotel Sydney with a stack of other demos and SU staff. It's a time where I get to meet up with fellow demos from around Australia and share creative ideas and also participate in some training. We also get a sneak peek at upcoming catalogues and products (which is so exciting).

Each year I create "swaps" to exchange with other demos. In return I get all different ideas. Swapping is one of my favourite things to do as I get to meet and catch up with others and bring home so many new ideas and creations. Stay tuned for a blog post soon showing my swaps I get in return!

Mini hand cream holders
These are super simple to create. Start with a piece of cardstock (I used 2014-2016 In Colors) measuring 8 ¼ inches x 2 inches and fold in half at 4 ⅛ inch mark. Next, use the Scallop Tag Topper Punch on either end. I then used matching ink to stamp a couple of images from Flowering Flourishes on each side. I slotted the mini hand cream in and secured at the bottom with a staple using our Mini Stapler. Finally, I tied both ends together with a bow using Cotton Ribbon (I used Calypso Coral, Pool Party, Pear Pizzazz, and Daffodil Delight).


I love a good production line
I can't wait to tell you more about OnStage, but we are sworn to secrecy until Tuesday 19th April! Stay tuned for exciting new info coming soon.

Until next time, happy crafting!

#mattschallenge


Hello hello!

It's time for another #mattschallenge. My husband loves to inspire me to step outside the box or my comfort zone. He'll often grab an ink, a punch/framelit and stamp set and issue "Matts Challenge!". He'd love to extend that challenge to everyone and left us a post it note with his challenge on my craft desk this morning.

If you missed the previous challenge, you can find my blog post here

Here's my Periscope/Katch explaining it all.


Balloon Celebration stamp
* Rose Red Ink
* 1" square punch
* Washi tape - any

If you don't have these particular items, you can substitute any of them for what you own in your stash. It does not have to be Stampin' Up products either.



To enter #mattschallenge, you can create a blog post, post on Twitter/Instagram and tag @crozlowcrafts in the posts, or post on my FB page. Don't forget to use the hashtag! The challenge closes end of the weekend (wherever you may be)!

I will edit this post once I have completed my creation and with those who entered the challenge.

Until next time, happy crafting!
