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

New Catalogue not yet arrived

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. I have been told that there are some fantastic new stamps as well as lots of accessories all to go on sale from October 1st.

I am getting ready for the Papercraft Show at Derby University this Sunday. If anyone is attending, please do pop over and say hello and see all the samples that we have come up with. There will be demos throughout the day so, if you have a question or fancy having a go at stamping, just let me know.

As a special promotion, order the new 2008 - 2009 Stampin' Up! Catalogue at a special price of £4.00 and receive a voucher for £3.00 off a single order, which is valid until the end of the year. The Catalogue will be sent to you in the post. You can order this at the show on Saturday, at a workshop that you may be attending over the weekend or by e-mail.

There will also be a prize draw on Sunday with at least 3 prizes to be won.

Sorry I dont have any cards to show you, there are 6 in the making but they wont be finished until tomorrow.

Offers from Stampin Up

Here is the list of all the products that will be retiring from Stampin Up, amongst them are some of my favourites. When they are gone, they really are gone. If you havent noticed, the prices on this list are all reduced.

The hostess sets on the list will not be available after 30 September.

The good news is that with all these items going, it is making lots and lots of room for the new products, which will be available from 1st October.

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
