Remembering the ANZACS

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old.


Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning

We will remember them.

LEST WE FORGET..
 
 
 


REMINDER - We will be closed Sunday and Monday for Anzac Day... so be sure to stock up Friday and Saturday for your weekend requirements.

NEW CUTTLEBUG FOLDERS & T!M HOLTZ TEXTURE FADES

There are loads of new Cuttlebug  Embossing Folders and the much anticipated Tim Holtz Texture Fades being released this month and some are available now! Here is a sampling to tempt you, for more designs go to printblocks website . Phone or email the codes and descriptions through to the shop and be the first to get them.

these texture fades are designed to create a deeply embossed texture in thicker materials like grungeboard, chipboard, metal, canvas, plastic and of course paper. they're unlike anything you've used before. the random and sometimes dimensional designs of the texture fades give the effect of certain parts of certain textures fading away. ah, the ultimate texture!
