A makeover and a giveaway
Good evening,
I thought that it was time to give the old blog a facelift…and I have done just that (well my talented hubby did actually). I love all the white space and clean lines.
Anyway, onto some exciting news…
You have probably heard that another Online Card Class called A Cut Above is starting next week and I am super thrilled to say that I have been asked to be one of the Guest Designers in the class – alongside some other very talented women!
Join Kristina Werner, Jennifer McGuire, and guest instructor Nichol Magouirk for a jam-packed, creative die cutting class – A Cut Above.
Are you a die cutting expert or do you consider yourself a novice? Do you prefer a traditional die cutting machine or would you rather use your computer to design what you’ll be cutting? Or maybe you’re just not sure! Never fear, we’re here to help! Join Kristina Werner, Jennifer McGuire, guest instructor Nichol Magouirk and many great guests (including me!) for A Cut Above, as they show you the ins and outs and everything you need to know about the various die cutting systems.
You’ll leave class with the knowledge of numerous tips and creative techniques for using the Big Shot, Vagabond, Cuttlebug and Grand Calibur with various types of dies and embossing folders, as well as the Silhouette Cameo. The first half of class will be devoted to traditional die cutting methods and the second half will be focused on the increasingly popular Silhouette (Cameo, SD, and original Silhouette). Simple to complex, beginning to advanced – we’ll cover it all!
This three-week interactive class includes free downloads (including from guest artist Ali Edwards), BIG prizes, galleries, a Q&A forum and lifetime access! Class runs April 16 to May 7, but content will be available for a lifetime. Go here for more info and to register.
Giveaway
So who is up for a giveaway…or 3?
If you would like to be in the running to win a place in this class, leave me a comment on this post by midnight, Thursday the 12th of April (Australian Eastern Standard Time) and tell me what time of the day you do most of your crafting. I’ll choose 3 lucky winners at random. If you have already registered for the class and win, you will be given a refund.
Until next time,
*SQUEAL* That’s SO exciting, Marion! Congratulations! They’re lucky to have you! LOVE your new blog look too. 🙂
Congratulations Marion! Very well deserved! I love your work. Thank you for the chance to win a spot in this class. It would be so great for me. I am still very shy around my Vagabond, and have been looking for a good excuse to buy one of the new Silhouette! What better way than to tell myself I need it for a class giveaway I won. Heehee!
It seems I forgot to answer the question too. Can you sense the excitement? I do most of my crafting mid morning; while my youngest is at special ed preschool. Gives me a couple of hours of craft/me time, three days a week.
Oops… I didn’t answer your question! I got too excited! lol I’m a night owl for crafting. I really wish I was a daytime person!
Love the new blog facelift Marion! and thanks so much for a chance to win this fabulous online class.
I would so love to take this class!! I usually craft very early in the morning – 4a.m. to 8a.m.
Oh lately it seems my most productive time is Sunday afternoon after all the chores are done I do love a productive late night spent crafting until 3-4am but that doesn’t always fit with work& school.
PS I love the new look!
Wow- looks like a great class.
On weekdays I craft after dinner when I can and on weekends in the morning and sometimes afternoon. I have to work it in around a full time job and two kids!
Hi Marion! I found you from Danielle’s blog and glad I did 🙂 I have just received my very first die cutter woohoo!! I would love to win a pass to this class to learn some insider tips….I do most of my crafting in the afternoons and weekends…whenever I get a chance! Thanks for the chance to win 🙂
I usually craft during the weekdays when my husband is at work. I have a cricut but would love to get another device for my scrap booking ! Thanks for considering me and having this contest! Have a great day!
I’m definitely a midnight crafter:) I’m more of a night owl as it is, but between family and job, night time is my only real free time. Every now and then I sneak in a early morning Saturday session.
Thanks for the chance to win the class!
How exciting to be part of that amazing class! I am much more productive in the mornings. Thanks so much for the chance to win a spot!
I get my crafting done on Sundays mostly–sometimes in the evening, but not very often. I would love to win this class!!!
love your new blog design. Thanks for the giveaway.
Congrats on your guest designer spot Marion! I do most of my stamping during the day, it seems my creativity fades as the day goes on.
Wow, I’d love to win a chance at this class! I’ve wanted a Silhouette for years, then recently realized I’d need a traditional one for embossing folders and the like. What’s a girl to do? 🙂 As for my crafting, I should get more done during the day, but I usually do my productive work at night, when my husband is at the gym!
HELLO!
I do MOST of my crafting after the KIDDOS go to bed, so sometime after 8pm until 10:30.
Thanks for the chance to win a spot in the class!
I’m an evening crafter … a nice glass of wine and some easy listening tunes and my mojo can’t help but CREATE! That, and the lighting is subdued and doesn’t show my mistakes nearly as much as a bright sunlight studio would … LOL.
A BIG Congrats to you, this is so well deserved Marion! BTW – LOVE your new look blog (might have to employ your hubby myself) and would totally love to win a place in this class! I’m a morning crafter, I’m often up super early, so am too tired at night to concentrate…. despite best intentions.
I do most of my crafting during the week at about 8-10 pm and Saturdays from 12-10pm. I’d love to win your class.
Love the new look. Now I’ve returned to full time work teaching my only chance to create is late evening when my boys are asleep. Enjoying the school holidays though – time to create in daylight!
Would love to win a spot in this class! Thanks for the chance to win
Congrats on the guest spot, and your blog look is lovely (to match your creations!) ! I would love to win a class pass, but good luck to everyone else too. These classes look amazing.
The new blog style looks awesome! And huge CONGRATS on being a part of this class! What an honor! I’m not here to win a spot, so if my name is drawn, pass me by. Just wanted to leave some love. 🙂
Congrats on your guest spot!!! I would love for a chance to partake in the class. I’m a weekend only crafter, so as long as i can squeeze it in, i do.
oh my goodness, you really deserve it!! Congratulations!
Thank you so much for the giveaway, i’d LOVE a chance to participate in this class, I really need it!
Congrats on being guest designer. I’ll definitely love to see your projects in the class.
I usually craft in the late afternoons or after dinner. Thanks for the chance to win a spot in the class.
Love your new blog btw.
what an amazing class this will be!
I love to do crafting on afternoon weekends. That time I’ll be more relax to work my way into my projects. It serves as a zen time for me, away from the busy office weekdays.
Awesome blog redesign Marion, I love it! I do most of my crafting on the weekends as I work full time, sometimes I try and fit some in at night but Saturday and Sunday afternoons is my crafting time.
Oooh I like the makeover! Very CAS and pretty 🙂
HUGE congrats on being invited to be a part of such a talented group of ladies!!! What awesome news! I’ll throw my hat into the ring to win a place by telling you that I craft at night. I try really hard to craft in the day on my days off/weekends but my mojo just won’t function until night time!
Hugs!

Thanks for a chance to win a spot. I do most of my crafting during my daughter’s nap or after all of my kids go to bed. I love your blog- thanks for the inspiration you provide!
Hooray, Marion! I am *SO* thrilled for you! Yeah!!!!!
I’m a night owl . . . starting around 9:00pm, and working til the early hours or even going through all night! Would love to do this class.
Wow …. Congratulations Marion, how super cool to be rubbing shoulders with this talented group of ladies, but then again … YOU ARE SUPER TALENTED TOO!!!
Looove the new blog look …. very much CAS, very much you!!!
Oh, yes please …. I would love to go in the draw to win a spot in this class …. I am definitely a Night Owl, would love to be an Early Bird …. but night owl, I am!
I would LOVE to take this class! Thanks for the chance! 🙂
I am an early morning person and find myh creativity at its peak around 8 or 9 Am. Comgrats on your appt. Would LOVE to be chosen for a free spot in this class. LOVE my Big Shot and my dies. Se ya in the morning. 🙂
I like your new web design! I craft either late at night or during the school day if I can steal a few minutes. It is about time that I learn to use my Silhouette and I’ve been considering purchasing a die cutter but have not been able to figure out which one to buy. This class is exactly what I need!
This class looks amazing… thanks for the opportunity to win a spot!
Count me in, I’m a total die-o-holic.
Congratulations Marion. So very well deserved. Thanks for giving a chance to win a class. I sure would love to learn about die cutting machines. TFS
What a fun class this sounds like! My fav time of day to craft is in the morning after I get back from the gym and the kids are still in school or after dinner. I’m not very creative at night.
Congrats Marion! Quite an honor!
I do most of my creating in the evening.

Oh, I’ve loved the online card classes I’ve taken so this one should be fabulous too! I’m a night crafter because I have to wait until everyone goes to bed to get the stuff out!
congratulations Marion, what a huge asset you will be to their class , but I can’t say that I am too surprised they wanted your talent for their participants- your work rocks!!
love the new look too, perfect for you! 🙂
Sounds like a great class. I do most of my best crafting in the morning.
Im a morning crafter!
Oh I can’t wait to go back to school! And I do most of my crafting when I get back from driving my daughter to school. I do, however, sneak down after dinner sometimes to play a bit!
I do most of my crafting on days that my wife wants a blog makeover. (!!)
