Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas!!! Seems like so long since I've written anything on my blog and in reality, it has been over a month, so my apologies to anyone who may have been having a look for an update. Anyway, we're now over the manic Christmas week and what a week it was! We've had 3 christmas meals with family (which included a last one today) plus we went out for tea with a group of friends on Friday night. New to Stampin' Up is the Summer Mini Catalogue and starting 1st January is the Sale-a-bration Catalogue (click here to view the catalogues). The Sale-a-bration is a great time to host a workshop or place an order, as there are bonus stamp sets for each $100 you spend and as the hostess, you can receive extra sets based on the sales from a workshop. And remember, you could always have a book party if you are finding it too hard to set a date for a workshop. If you are interested in hosting a workshop or placing an order, please contact me. In the meantime, enjoy the rest of the silly season, stay safe and have a happy new year!!

And here's a Memory Box I've decorated for my friend Alissa... It's her Hen's Nite tonight and the big wedding next Saturday... The big blank circle is just where I've blanked out her and her fiance's names...... It's not Stampin' Up products but I just thought I'd share it with you all.

Hi All,

Here are some recent cards I've made using the "Pocket Fun" Stamp Set...

Update

Hi Everyone, We've had a busy couple of weeks with my daughter, Charlotte having her first birthday earlier this month and in case you're wondering, yes she was very spoilt!!! Well, Term 4 is underway, which means that Christmas is nearly upon us.. There's only 66 days to Christmas and only 41 more days that the Stampin' Up Mini Catalogue is available - if you haven't already seen it, view it online at http://catalogs.shoplocal.com/stampinup/index.aspx?pagename=shopmain&storeid=1039381 I've realised that I need to start working on my Christmas cards and also to complete the scrapbook from our first family holiday earlier this year. So its going to be my mission in the very near future to spend as much time as I can on these projects. This is, of course, in amongst the usual 'mum' and household jobs. I've been spending a lot of time in the garden the past 2 weeks and I have to admit, it looks pretty good. Most of the good work is due to the installation of our huge patio - it makes such a difference to our house! Well, I'm going to post some details on a technique called 'rock & roll' soon. I recently demonstrated it at a workshop with great success and it works for lots of different stamp sets. So keep your eyes peeled for it!

christmas cardmaking...

with the silly sesason fast approaching, i thought i'd share my first xmas card for the year..

for obvious reasons, i'm not going to post all the xmas cards otherwise my family & friends won't get any surprises..

here goes.....

Ok, its taken me a while to get back to setting up my blog... i wanted to have a lot more on it before i gave out the address to ppl... anyway, i've decided to tell everyone my blog address, in the hopethat it will motivate me to actually post some new cards.... well i can make lots of excuses, but ur not here to read them but to see my cards, so here's some cards i've been making over the past few months....




these cards are using the 'greetings galore' set, a mixture of s/up card and the ribbon is some that i had in my craft room... i quickly took this photo and didn't preview it, hence the reasonn its all wonky! :)


this card is using the 'loads of love' truck... and some of double sided scrapbooking paper


an oldy, but a goldy (meaning that we made this card at my very 1st w/shop), whilst you can't really see it too clearly, this is using the 'heartfelt thanks' set, versamark with pastels and the 'watercolour joy' wheel for the background.



a couple of cute cards made with the 'nice & easy notes' set

These are some of the first cards that i made with the Favorite Teddy stamp set, and the other goodies in the Starter kit when I joined Stampin' Up.

Introducing me!

Hi Everyone, I joined Stampin' Up in February this year as a way to share my passion for card making. I was first introduced to Stampin' Up by Lee-Anne last year at one of her workshops and really liked the products offered so I joined the Stampin' Up Team. Whilst I joined Stampin' Up for the cardmaking products, they have heaps of scrapbooking products which i will eventually gain the courage to start. I've tested the waters as they say but am hesitant to do to much scrapbooking as i fear i will never emerge once i start! :P For any information on Stampin' Up, please contact me or to view the catalogue visit www.stampinup.com/au
