Divas Charity Day – June 2023
June 26, 2023 /We had a wonderful day of creativity at our new venue – the gorgeous Tom Atkin Tugun Community Progress Hall.
I want to say a BIG THANK YOU to my wonderful Dazzling Divas Team who helped before, during and after to make this day happen 💖Â
I also want to thank Kacey Patrick who did an amazing job of catering for us.
We enjoyed a delicious lunch and a very special afternoon tea.
I’d also like to thank all our wonderful Crafters who came along and supported our event.
The day wouldn’t have been possible without you 💖Â

We raised an amazing $760 for Full Stop Australia through raffle ticket sales.
Stampin’ Up! supplied most of our prizes and we also received a generous donation from Tom Atkin Hall – four tickets to upcoming events and I contributed a few ‘Seacret’ products too.
We used the Forever Friends Kit for the projects we created.
Fun was had by all and I loved seeing the creativity flow as our crafters made the projects their own
We also had a wonderful display with a team effort of contributions, from Jan, Jackie, Karen and myself.
Thank you Robyn for my beautiful flowers and card. You are a Gem!!!!
Thanks again to everyone for your support and a wonderful day!
I am blessed to have had the opportunity to bring some creativity to our wonderful community.
Happy Stamping,

Gilded Leafing Technique
April 1, 2023 /Welcome to our Totally Techniques Blog Hop for March 2023.
I’m Angela McFarlane an Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator from Gold Coast, Australia.
This will be my last Blog Hop with the Totally Techniques Team, I’ve had the pleasure of being a guest ‘Hopper’ for the last 12 months, thanks for the opportunity to share with you.
Each month our team chooses a different technique to feature and this month we will be showcasing the various Gilded Leafing Techniques.
At the bottom of my blog please ‘hop along’ to see all the different ideas our talented team have to share with you.
The Gilded Leafing is a wonderful product and can be used in so many different ways.
I created this card using the beautiful Natures Harvest Bundle which is available in Annual Catalogue.
I wanted the Gilded Leafing to be the hero on this card. I didn’t add any extra bling as the Gold was enough.
I kept the colour palate simple and used Basic White for the card base then layered it with Pool Party, the Gilded Leafing frame and more Basic White.
It was easier to demonstrate my techniques via video.
Please watch and enjoy!

I hope you’ve enjoyed my project and hopefully learnt something new.
Feel free to contact me with any questions.

Stamping with aMac March 2023 Craft Retreat
March 20, 2023 /We just had our second three night retreat!
Thanks so much to all of the fabulous crafters who were able to join us! We had a very creative and fun filled event where we shared ideas, hugs, fun, food, drinks and laughter.
Here’s what we got up to…
There’s always lots to do behind the scenes to make the weekend special for my crafters.
Here’s a few photos of our place cards, goodie bag decorations and pillow gift decorations (which I like to spoil my attendees with).
It’s lovely to know that it’s very much appreciated too.

Everyone loves the lush green fields and the beauty of the location. It’s so pretty to look at and soothing for the soul.
In the early morning, I love taking a bit of time out to enjoy a quiet coffee, listening to the birds and observing the wildlife.
The mist over the valley is so pretty too.

Our Crafters are extremely generous and everyone who comes and stays will enjoy the improvements we’ve contributed to.
This is thanks to our very generous raffles ticket purchases and additional donations after the raffle was drawn! Thank you to all of you who contributed extra raffle prizes too! Thanks Jackie, Robyn, Karen, Toni and myself.
Since we’ve been coming to Bornhoffen, our Crafting Retreats have contributed to new fly/security screens for Hobwee Hall, which we use, and thanks to a very generous donation from Belinda S, who solely contributed new fly/security screens for all of the doors on the hall!
This has made our stay so much more comfortable and pleasant!
Thank you so much Belinda!
Bornhoffen has put up a plaque in appreciation of our fund-raising efforts.
What a lovely group of crafters we had at our retreat!
So many different crafts and so much talent. I love that everyone was willing to share ideas and other bits and pieces.
There was lots of catching up, laughter, jokes, silliness, a few drinks shared and even a few tears reminiscing about our friend Tina who is sadly no longer with us. We really miss your talent, big smile and laughter. RIP 💔 🫶
We have lots of card makers and scrap bookers who attend but ALL types of crafters are welcome to join us!

I’m so lucky to have a wonderful group of ladies who support each other in so many ways. It’s lovely to be able to spend a few days together sharing and having a fun time.
Here’s a few team pics and a few shenanigans that made us all laugh!
