Ooooh, I love those! So nice to see something coming out that's not vintage or that looks like everything else out there. Brave to originality!

Can't wait to play with the new items. When/Where will they be released?? Fingers crossed they will be out in June/July when I am back in Oz ... if not just pack up AliceMcK's suitcase in August when she comes to visit me in Singapore!

The design process. . . .

As simple as it may be, designs have to start somewhere. I often just jot down a really simple drawing (and I mean simple) on scraps of paper, or when I am really good I draw in my design book ideas of new things and suggestions for products. I do this so I don't forget as I have a short memory for ideas, well there is so many just floating around. It is not unusual to have scrap of paper knocking around the keyboard of my computer to jog my memory for a few weeks before I put it to work to become a real product. BTW any bit of paper is fair game for a drawing!

Here is the process of the "Birdie" and I know ya'll are gonna laugh, but here it is in 4 steps. Now my dear arty friends my scrappy friends have asked me to make these birdies so no laughing cos I might find out you have done these on your latest ATC's or something. Now they are not made yet, maybe in the next 2 weeks, but please getting things manufactured sometimes has it's pitfalls and I may not get these back for a month......oh and they are coming in two sizes......wings are separate as well. best, JVO

"Holy Cow"

I have just been checking my blog and "holy cow" there are 87 comments!!! Some lovely comments as well. Hey you guys thanks for your support, it means a lot to me. After all I am just wanting to make new stuff so I can play with it myself. I do make things I want as well and a lot is from suggestions or should I say nagging! LOL.

Well because you are all so faithful I would like to offer the same prize 3 times so that gives you a one in 30 chance of winning instead of one in 87, so tomorrow Deb will pick a winner....

Good luck to you all and I am noting Jen and Kelsey's pre-decline (LOL!), and I nearly forgot, Wendy C from NZ you are in the draw ( I know you had trouble posting!).

thanks, JVO

Win something New from Collections

I know you guys have been looking at my blog, so as a reward for “someone” I thought it would be nice if I gave away a sampling of Collections new products. Available really soon at some store near you........
I made up this little “Art Box” and filled it with some of the new chipboard pieces that were manufactured this week. There are still a heap more products to come - all will be revealed soon.....
So, post your name on the comments and I will get Debbie (she is the wonder girl who packs my stuff and whistles, “one power ball and I’m outer here!” LOL)to draw out a name. They will win a pack of lovely little new bits, some of what is shown here!(not the sample tho) I have been working hard the last few weeks getting new products designed and made and I really hope you like them. There is something for all, papercrafters and scrapbookers alike. I will draw the winner out sometime next week..... you only need to enter once, good luck.
PS, the little box is part of the new.........but you have to make it up yourself!
