The results of my Stampin' Up! Training Day

Hi Everyone, I just wanted to show you a couple of pics of a photo album made from cardstock and the 'I wish' scrapbook kit from Stampin' Up. I learnt how to make this at my training day on Sunday and if you are interested, I'm thinking about arranging a class for this too - it would make a great Chrissy gift. Anyway, here are the pics and don't forget to let me know what you think...

Thanks for looking, Richelle

Christmas is coming...

Hi All, Christmas is coming up very quickly! Who can believe that it's already July... With that in mind, I'm planning some Christmas Card workshops so stay tuned for the dates and I hope to see you then! Remember, if you can't make it to a class, why not rope in a few friends and I'll come to you! Thanks for looking, Richelle ps: the Spring Mini Catalogue will be launched on Aug 1st and it has some new Christmas stamps that are just gorgeous! I'm planning my first ever official Mini Catty launch too so there'll be another date for some fun stampin' R&R :)

Well I had a great afternoon with some of my S/Up demo friends today.. Thanks girls :D

Anyway this is a pic of my swap card for the day... Lee-Anne set us the challenge of using Chocolate Chip, Very Vanilla, Kiwi Kiss and Red Riding Hood. I wasn't sure where to start with these colours but am pretty happy with the final result!

First of all I had this, which I wasn't very happy with...

So I stepped my card by added a some extra layers of card,some shading and changed the size of the card to make:

Baby Bundles

Hi All, Lately I've taken to reading a website by Andrea Walford, a Canadian S/Up demo... One of the recent tutorials was for a baby card and this is version I made.

I've used a stencil cutter for the oval shape and my S/Up circle punch to make the face. The card colour is Ballet Blue and I've sponged the clouds in Whisper White ink. The face and highlights have been freehand with the Black S/Up marker and I've added a little Crystal Effects too.

Now don't go too far, as there's more S/Up news to come! I've just used up my quota of tv entertainment for the girls this morning so I'm off to play mum for a while - lol :) Thanks for looking, Richelle
