What a year!

Hya,




How has your weekend been? Mines ok. I have had the chance today to get some fruit and vegatables from a friends allotment. How good is that. They taste so much better than the shop bought ones, also saves a fortune.

Oh my goodness, I have been a Stampin' Up demonstrator a whole year. and what a year it has been. I have met some lovely people and made some great friends. I have to say a 'BIG' thankyou to my stampin' up mum Julie. She has been there and answered any daft questions i have had along the way. I wouldn't have been able to do all i have without her help.

This week has been exciting for stampin' up demonstrators. We have been given a sneak peak at what the new catalogue has in store for us this next year. There's alot of nice goodies for us to be able to order on the 1st of october.

So on that note i will show you a card i was asked to make for an order. I used one of my favourites the 'Crazy for Cupcakes'. It is a great set and versatile for any age group. I used some papers for backing which are old retired papers (Sweet Always) but work perfect with this set. The lovely ribbon used is Choc Chip Satin Ribbon which is retiring, boo hoo.

I know you can't see very well but i put glitter on the cherries to make it more girly. I wouldn't be me without abit of bling.

Right, I suppose i should go and do the boring ironing.

Have a great week,

Classes

Hya,

Sorry for the lack of posts this week. I hope all is ok in crafting land. What a week i have had. I have had 2 classes on this week, lost of studying to do too. I can honestly say it doesn't come naturaly to me, but by hook or crook i will get there.

I wanted to say hello to my new ladies, Marilyn, Jean and Lindsay. We had a great evening making a Crazy for Cupcakes card. A good time was had by all including me. The card stock was Regal Rose layered with Close to Cocoa. The lovely cupcakes are coloured in again using the blender pens and inks and the ribbon is Choc Chip satin ribbon.

My other ladies who came to a longer class yesturday at my home, did a birthday tin and made 6 ish cards to go in it. It was very warm here but you cannot stop creativity when it's in full flow!!!

Here is a small selection of some of the cards Lynne, Carol, Irene, Terry and Pam came up with. I had asked them to make different cards to mine which at first sent them into a frenzy but here are the some of the results.

The kit we used ws the sunny days scrappin' kit. We also used Temping Turquoise, Pink Passion and Pumkin Pie cardstock and ribbons.

So now you see how busy i have been.

That's it for now. Thanks for looking. Have a good week.

crazy for cupcakes

Hya,

I hope your week is ok so far. I'm glad it's a short week. It gives us something to look forward to an extra few days off work.

Today is the birthday of Sarah, my Stampin' up colleague. I thought I would show you the card I made her.

Again i have used the crazy for cupcakes stamp set. I love this set and never seem to tire of using it. The colour combination is choc chip card stock with regail rose layering.The ribbon is choc chip stitched grosgrain. just perfect for this.

That's it for now.

Sarah, i hope you have a lovely birthday.

crazy for cupcakes

Hya,

Happy monday to you. The sun has started shinning and it's certainly putting people in a better mood.

I wanted to show you another card that I have made for another good friend of mine Angela. It's her birthday next week. This time I have used the stamp set Crazy for Cupcakes. It's a sweet little set that I have used quite abit.

The colour comination is Regal Rose cardstock layered with Choc Chip cardstock. I enjoy colouring the cupcakes, it's like they come to life as you add more colour. The backing layer is from the Sweet Always papers that unfortunatley have already retired. sorry! The ribbon is also stitched Choc Chip ribbon. The sentiment was used from a different called Cheer and Wishes.

I also was happy today as I have bought the Boyzone cd - Brother. I love the track they have released - Gave it all away and I look forward to hearing the rest of the cd.

Well time to go. Have a good week.
