So we are into September now and I’ve started on my Christmas cards. It may seem early, but I know from experience how time can creep up on you!
So far I’ve managed to use up the remnants of last year’s papers and I’m very pleased with the results:
I’ve also done a bit of work on another design new for this year:
I’m looking for new papers and new inspiration now. What have you seen around that you like? Are you getting your plans in place for Christmas?

After much anticipation (well, in our house anyway) I am finally able to announce the new addition to Just Jane … soy wax candles.
Candles by Just Jane
These are something we have made at home for some time now, but after several friends commented on how lovely they were when given them as gifts we finally decided to give them a go as a part of the business. It’s very exciting although a little daunting too.
The candles are made of 100% soy wax and for now they are all container candles – hand poured into lovely glassware. In the fullness of time we will expand the range and we hope to introduce pillar candles eventually. Soy wax is a completely eco-friendly product and sustainable which makes chosing candles made of this vegetable based wax an environmentally sound one. I’ve included below a little chart which shows the differences between burning a regular paraffin blend candle (what most mass produced candles are made from) and a soy wax candle.
Paraffin vs Soy Wax Chart
My candles are all hand poured by me and made with love.
And the really great thing about them is that they can be decorated and personalised to suit your requirements! The baby bulbs make ideal bonbonniere/placecard style gifts for weddings and special events and the larger ones are great for gifts for those special people in your life.
Baby Bulb Candles - Decorated
We are starting small with just 3 styles but as the business grows so will the range.
I would love for you to visit www.justjane.com.au and have a good look at them. I even have a store set up where you can order them online and then I’ll be in touch to discuss the finer details.

Well, here we are starting the 8th month of 2011 – where has the time gone?
Just Jane has undergone (yet another) facelift and my entire branding has changed. Hopefully it’s an improvement but only time will tell. I’ve done it all myself – websites, facebook welcome pages, Facebook profile pictures – so no doubt there will be lots of little hiccups as time moves on!
I’ve still managed to get some fresh designs launched for this year. I’m particularly loving the black and white one, and hopefully so will my clients! Here are the piccies of all three for you to check out
No Strings Collection
Love's Dream Collection
Gilded Cage Collection
I’ve got some other news too, but will save that for another day.

Hello all!
I have just released my latest newsletter – time flies and it was rather late going out! However, to make up for the delay between editions I’m running a competition in it this month. You’ll have to read the Newsletter to get all the details but here’s a tantalising sneak peek …

Mmmm … now what could it be?
Sign up here.
Here’s the link to this month’s.

Love's Dream Collection - www.justjane.com.au
Rich red shimmer cardstock and handmade polymer clay hearts give this new invitation set a dreamy look. The set is not quite ready for full display yet, but I couldn’t wait to show you the pictures!
I made these mini red hearts quite a few weeks ago now and they’ve been sitting in a box on my desk begging me to do something with them. And then after weeks of hard work on revamping my websites and having no time to get hands on creative … inspiration suddenly struck! I love the floaty effect of the hearts leaving the tag. I love the deep richness of the red shimmer paper. And I love the simplicity of the overall look. I’m especially loving the font, Dobkin Script, at the moment too! What do you think?
The added beauty of this collection will be that the colour of the hearts can be coordinated with the bride’s choice of colours – we don’t have to stick with red … what about gold … or silver … maybe fuschia …
Here are some links to other red and hearty gorgeousness:
Colour Theme – Red from The Bride’s Diary website
Pandora Silver Charm - currently on sale at 63% off!!
Red Heart Lollipops – great idea for a favour
Red Heart Candles - Another favour idea?
Red dresses - I would not necessarily recommend buying a dress off the internet however. Do thorough research and due diligence.
Red wedding cakes – just look at all these beautiful cakes! A google search for ‘red wedding cakes’.
I’d love to see your red wedding pictures.
