Cheeky Meeky has landed!

Well this has been in the pipelines for a while now and Cheeky Meeky has now finally landed! (still a few minor technical issues to deal with).  My blog is now under the new name of "Cheeky Meeky - designs of a crafty girl in a material world".  This is my new business name and label and I will be using this blog and my Facebook Page of the same name as platforms to promote and sell my crafty creations.  I am still a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator and I will still be running my paper craft/card making classes on a monthly basis in the new year 2012.  I will endeavour to post photos and instructions and/or information about the things we make in the classes as well as links to other cool things that I have found and love also.

If you see something that I have posted that is for sale and you LOVE it, email me or click on the 'place an order' tab at the top of the page and fill in your details and a brief description of the item for sale.  But don't delay as all of my items are hand made and will therefore be unique and even though you may get a similar product, no two items will be the same.

Well I'm off to bed now, but keep a look out tomorrow for some new photos that I will be taking when the sun is up!

Creative Mess

We are now in the down hill slide to the end of the year - full steam ahead!  I have been busy creating 'stuff' and messing up my craft room, then tidying up my craft room to run a stamp class, then I promise myself to keep it tidy this time!  But THAT never happens *sigh*.  One day I will post a before and after photo so you can see what I'm talking about haha.

Last month in our Stamping Class we created these cute and simple 'bag in a box' using my favourite DSP from the 2011-2012 catalogue "Cheerful Treat" only available as hostess rewards (so host a party and get some of this cute paper for free!).  If you click HERE it will take you to a tutorial that will give you all the measurements I used to make ours.....they are quick and easy to make and would be great stuffed with sweets to give to the kids teachers for end of year.

Don't forget the cute little 'To Do' lists we made last month also would be a great gift - very simple and if you don't have the top note die you can use any shape, including just a rectangle.  Use a word window punch to cut the opening for the note pad (punch once, then slide along and punch again to make the hole longer).  I found my long shopping list style note pads from Bargain City at Westfield Chermside.  Decorate however you like and you have something very useful with a personal touch to give away.

For all of your supply needs contact me to place an order or to get some ideas or help on any project you may be working on....

Enjoy your creative messes until next time,
