Cant wait to show you the new products.

Christmas is coming

Here is a card that we made this weekend at a stampin' up! party and one that I did a demo of at the Derby University.

Made using chalks, ink and card stock all the same colour. Tried it in various colours and it doesnt work in pink, honestly. Its a pity you cant see the glitter on this.

Friends Card Part 3

Viv has made this card for a friends anniversary. Thank you so much for letting me put your images on the blog

Returned to work today after my hols and I really was expecting to come home and find the new 2008 - 2009 Stampin' Up! Catalogue waiting for me but, it hasnt arrived yet. Lets hope it comes tomorrow.

Bargins not to missed at the beginning of October for the world card making day. If you would like more information, please let me know.

Home again

Holiday was so good that it really was so hard to get on the plane and come back but I did. Now I have the task of unpacking and all that goes with it washing, ironing putting things away YAK.

I think that my bathroom scales must have broke when we weighed the suitcases before we left cause when I got on them last night they lied to me (diet starts tomorrow).

Lots of new and exciting things have been happening with stampinup whilst I have been away. I hope to catch up with everything today and post all the latest information tomorrow, retired lists, new products, discounted prices etc. etc.

No cards to show you today, sorry

Another stunner

Here is another card from the talented Viv

Here is a card made by Viv using the papers that are on special offer during August. I just love the colours that have be used, great combination

QVC Day Out

I was invited along to the QVC day last week in London and WOW what a fantastic day it was. We caught the train first thing in the morning and got to London. St. Pancras has certainly changed since I was there last. Its like a little shopping mall, very nice. Taxi over to the conference centre and found a lovely pub to have our fish and chips. Then we went and joined the queue to get in. We were given a goody bag upon entering the building and it got more and more things in it as the afternoon wore on. The room we were in was filled with lots of tables from different companies, which I am sure I cant remember them all. I made 5 cards, going around the tables and met a few celebs. I was most impressed with Rosemerry Merry and the American Craft products. Dawn Bibby was there and a couple of presenters from QVC. I am sorry, I dont know their names. KanBan were there, Jolly Nation and quite a few others.




By 5.30 we were shattered so headed back to the train station, picked up a sandwich and got on the train home.

The weather was lovely, not too hot but no rain. The company was exceptional and a big thank you to Liz for asking me to go with her.

Here are a few pictures of the goodies that I came home with

Penny Blacks

A couple of cards that I have been doing over the last day or two. They are both Penny Black and coloured in using StampinUp watercolours, which are amazing. I have two sets of these watercolours and will be adding to the collection very shortly.

The swinging cats card has been cut away around the inside of the swing and the little red hearts are on the inside of the card. The roses have glossy accents on them and stand out. A pity this doesnt show on the scan.

The mice card has been stamped twice with the top image being cut out and decoupaged onto the bottom immage. The rose, tag and leaf are covered in glitter which cant really be seen here.

I am pleased with how both of these have turned out.

StampinUp weekend

What a fantastic weekend I had. Not only did we have a StampinUp party on Friday night but also on Saturday morning and Saturday afternoon. I have received so many e-mails and text messages saying how everyone had a good time. Thanks for all your suport ladies and I cant wait for the next party.

Here are the cards that we did. We also made a bagalope to put the cards in
