Happy New Year!

Wishing everyone a very happy New Year.
Christmas has been such a busy time and I am looking forward to starting fresh in 2013.

I wanted to share the New Year's card I made for my friends in New Jersey. I love this set of stamps which are part of Stampin' Up!'s  Sale-a-Bration starting soon.

Have a great New Year!

Sue.

Warm Winter Wishes

Thought I would post the winter seasonal card I made for my US friends. It was hard to find a design that would not look too much like a Christmas card.

Also don't forget Tuesday night card class is on this Tuesday 11th. Contact me if you would like to come.

Hope to see you there.

Sue.

Last Night's Card Class

Here we are all having fun. As you can see there was a lot of creativity and concentration going on. Some of the girls couldn't make it but those who could had a great time.

Thanks girls see you on the 11th December.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Have just posted this off to our friends in the States. Hope it gets to them on time.

No peeking Kathy!

Sneak Peak

Card Class - Tuesday 20th November

I had such a good time at the Heartfelt Stampin' Event on the weekend with my friend Megan. Lots of fun and ideas. I was so inspired that on Sunday I spent the day getting the card designs ready for my stamping class.Thought I would post them for a quick peak at what we will be doing.

There is one more but I thought I would keep something as a secret for the class.

Can't wait! See you there.

Workshop

Another big weekend/week… on Sunday my friend Kim and her daughter Elizabeth held a Stampin’ Up! Party, which was great fun.

These are the cards we made at the workshop.

The mum’s made the card using the Mixed Bunch stamp set and punch. The daughters made the card using Papillon Potpourri stamp set and punch. We used the new Floral District and Twitterpated designer paper and some new ribbons. It was a lovely afternoon and we all had a great time.

Thanks again girls!

Sorry for the delay in sharing the news of the new Stampin' Up! Catalogues but I spent the weekend in Melbourne at the Paperific Expo...wow what fun!

Talking about fun...they are finally here!

The 2 new Stampin' Up! catalogues and they are filled with so many wonderful new stamps sets, colours, embellishments and so much more.

The Annual Catalogue will run until the 30th of June 2013 and the Holiday Catalogue will finish 31st January 2013.

There is something for everyone so be sure to take a look.

 Annual Catalogue                                                      Holiday Catalogue

The catalogue is always so much better in real life than on a computer screen, so if you'd like your very own copy to keep by your bedside, there are a few ways to get your hands on one:

Would you like to get both catalogues for FREE? All you need to do is either -

1. Place an order for at least $100 during September. I will include your catalogue with your order

 or

2. Book a Party and not only receive the catalogues but also great hostess benefits.

Have fun looking at all these yummy products and Happy Stamping!
