Hues of Happiness Collection, Hull and lots of photos

Good morning and thanks for popping in for a read.

We have just had a wonderful weekend away in Hull. It was the city of culture in 2017 and wow its a beautiful place. The reason for the visit was to see The Jersey Boys at the theatre and it was exceptional. If you like Franki Valli and his music it really is one to go and watch.

Whilst we were there we had a visit to Hull Minster and a wander around the very old streets.

We visited The Deep which is an aquarium and it was lovely. This fish kept coming over to us. There was lots to see and we went in the seethrough lift through the shark tank, very brave.

Lunch was a sit at the marina for a sandwhich and a coffee.

On the way home Paul wanted to go over the Humber Bridge, which we did. It is over 2km long and amazing. You can see for miles when you are on it.

Then we had a stop off at Lincoln Cathedral.

What an amazing place Lincoln is. So much so that we plan to return and see more of it.

We recently had a Creative Crew get together to play with a whole suite called Hues of Happiness Collection. In this collection you get a stamp set called Happiness Abounds, pretty Hues of Happiness Designer Series Papers, Blossoming Dies and 180 self adhesive Glossy Dots. There are pictures of all these below. I think it is great that you can purchase the stamp set alone, or get the stamps and dies as a bundle with 10% discount. You can also purchase the pretty papers on their own or if you like everything, there is the whole collection that you can get.

Here is a card that Sally created using part of the collection.

She has die cut out some of the images from the Hues of Happiness Designer Series Papers, added a sentiment and created a tent folded card with circle dies. Isnt it smashing. The dies fit around some of the flowers on the Designer Series Paper which is perfect for creating lots of cards.

If you wanted a browse through the Stampin' Up! shop, here is a link for it (just click on the picture)

Are you local to Derby and fancy an evening with other crafters. Derby Dabblers is taking place again this Friday night from 6pm. Why not spend a few hours crafting with like minded folk, chat over a cuppa and cake and make some new friends along the way. Please do get in touch if you would like more details.

There is just one week left to get the Stampin' Up! starter kit

This will include free ink pads, free A4 cardstock, free grid paper as well as free In Color Designer Series papers.

And for £99 you get to pick £130 worth of Stampin' Up! products to make up the starter kit yourself.

When you join Stampin' Up! you have access to on line training resources, demonstrator only online community, there are lots of groups on facebook for inspiration, help and advice. You get to join my team where I am always on hand to help, you get a demonstrator web site that is free for 2 months and as much or as little training as you want. If you would like to join to get discounts on orders that you place for yourself, that is great, you will get 20%- 25% discount on all orders you place (off the pre-vat price). Should you wish to sell some products to friends and/or family, you can do this too. You can also hold classes, parties and demonstrate the products if you wish. The choice is yours.

However, should you purchase the starter kit and then decide that you dont want to do any of the above, nothing is lost, you just get to keep the kit. There is no catch and nothing to pay back. You really dont have anything to loose. I would love it if you wanted to join my team and I am always happy to pop kettle on if you wanted to pop in and have a chat about this. If you dont live close enough, let me know and we can have an online chat. If you already know all about it, just click on the image below to take you to the joining my team link.

Here are details of events happening in The Craft Room during May, well the rest of this week but you may need to click on the picture to make it bigger.

Have you seen the new 2022-2023 Catalogue. Below is a link where you click on it and you can have a browse however, I do have a few spare paper copies in The Craft Room if you would like to call in and pick one up.

You can still order from the Mini Catalouge but be warned, this will be ending on 31st May, which is next Tuesday. If there is something that you really do want, it is best to order sooner rather than later. Just click on the image below to have a browse. Again, I do have some in the Craft Room if you would like to collect one.
