Did you know that the Teddy Bear got it's name from the 26th President of the United States, Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt.
Wikipedia says, "Roosevelt's lasting popular legacy, however, is the stuffed toy bears—teddy bears—named after him following an incident on a hunting trip in Mississippi in 1902. Roosevelt famously ordered the mercy killing of a wounded black bear. After a national cartoonist illustrated the President with a bear, a toy maker heard the story and asked Roosevelt if he could use his name on a toy bear. Roosevelt approved and the teddy bear was born. Bears and later bear cubs became closely associated with Roosevelt in political cartoons thereafter" You can read more about it here

I have fallen in love with the cloud technique that I have seen several other demonstrators demonstrate and I thought I would give it a go. I loved the rich vibrant colours of Pumpkin Pie, Rich Razzleberry, and Real Red ink pads that I used here to try out the cloud technique. It was fun and easy! I also paired this technique with the Elegant Eggplant and Water Colour paper. The stamps used were Inspired by Nature and Perfect Punches.
If you would like to try out this technique or if your interested in making this very simple yet gorgeous card please contact me on 0419 410 255 or email me!

I remember my favourite primary school teacher. She was my 4th Grade teacher Mrs. Burns, she was kind and caring and well and truly persistent. She didn't give up on me.
In Middle School I got lucky, I went to a very small school and I had a lot of good teachers there as well.
My favourite High School Teacher was Mr Meece, I thought he was a little eccentric, focused and yet loveable. All through out my schooling career I have had many great teachers. Without them I am not sure where I would be today.
When I teach my card making or scrapbooking classes I remember the kindness they showed to me when I struggled. I find a lot of joy in helping others and a lot of peace as well. I love teaching others how to be crafty!
