I'm BAAAACK!!

Well, long story short, we didn't get to go on our cruise. Not happy Jan!! All things happen for a reason, and one day we will find out what the reason was!! Okay, enough complaining.

One thing it did mean, is that I got an opportunity to do some more craft.....YAY!! There are some fantastic bundles available in the new Occasions Catalogue. I LOVE the Petite Petals one, especially!


Bit hard to see in this photo, but the top right of the card is cut on a diagonal and the flowers are hanging over the edge.

I also had fun trying some of our different DSPs Watercolour Wonder and Sweet Sorbet as well as trying a couple of different techniques.






I also had a couple of birthday cards to make:




So all in all, not quite the fortnight we had planned, but still productive and mostly enjoyable!

Until next time.

Cheers

SALE-A-BRATION and OCCASIONS CATALOGUES ARE HERE!!

SALE-A-BRATION




Sale-A-Bration is Stampin' Up!'s biggest sales event and the best time to be a customer! From 28 January-31 March, there are so many ways for you to get involved whether it's through shopping, hosting a party, or joining Stampin' Up! 

 

 

 

I think this is the best time of the year, a FREE product with every $90 spent!! How good is that? To top it off, if you want to host a party during this time you can earn an extra $50 as the host and still get a FREE product for every $90 you spend yourself!! I LOVE this time of year!!!!

To make it all the more exciting, our new Occasions Catalogue is also available now! I wanted something from EVERY page!! 




Please contact me if you would like a catalogue,  to purchase anything or would like to host a party. You can also order online any time, day or night by using the link on the side.

This will be my last post until the 21st February as we are going on our first trip overseas!!! We are off on a cruise to New Zealand (I've never been overseas before, unless Phillip Island counts) and if I get a chance I will add a photo or two, but I am not sure if I will have the opportunity, so it may have to wait until the 21st. I'm sooooo excited!! I can't wait!!

Until next time.

Cheers

Welcome


Wow! I can't believe I have my own blog! What a challenge! To start with, I will only be blogging once or twice a week and I will be learning as I go, so please have patience with me. 

I guess a little about me would be a good start

I am married with two adult children and am 'Gran' to three gorgeous grandchildren. To round out our household, we have a Ragdoll cat named 'Miss Muffett' and a Labradoodle named 'Ricky'. My husband and I decided to retire in April 2013 and I now have time (well, some anyway, who knew retirement could be sooooo busy!) to focus on my card making and scrapping.

I have been a Stampin' Up demonstrator since July 2010, but until now, have really only been a hobby demonstrator (although my good intentions were always to have a thriving business). I have been lucky enough to attend two conventions (can't wait for the one in Melbourne this year - maybe you would like to come too!), and three regionals. I feel so happy to be part of the Stampin' Up! family! I truly cannot think of a better or more caring company to work with.

Here is a scrap page of my gorgeous grandchildren.




Gorgeous grunge

I used Sweet Sorbet DSP; Crisp Cantalopue, Whisper White and Coastal Cabana cardstock; Crisp Cantalopue, Pistachio Pudding, Coastal Cabana, Island Indigo, Smokey Slate and Crushed Curry ink pads; Yippee-Skippee! and Just Sayin' Stamp Sets; Decorative Label punch and Deco Labels and Starburst Framelit Dies.

Until next time

Cheers
