Announcement

Life has a way of going pear shaped at times and that is what has happened for me on a personal level.  As of the end of April 2014, I have decided to resign as a demonstrator from Stampin' Up!, please understand that this is in no way a reflection on Stampin' Up! - I have always been proud to use their products and to represent Stampin' Up!  So from here onwards, I will continue posting my craft/project creations using Stampin' Up! products but not as a demonstrator.  Should you wish to purchase any of their products, please do visit the main Stampin' Up! website.
In the next couple of days, I will be revising and updating my blog page.  Thank you for visiting and who knows, may be life will throw me another curve ball and things will change AGAIN!!!

First 2014 Craft Projects!

It has been quite a while since I've posted!  This has certainly been a very long holiday!  But I'm back into the swing of things and I am getting back into crafting mode!  As mentioned in my last post, there are some new exciting things coming soon from Stampin' Up! - the 2014 Occasions Mini and SAB - these will be launched on 28 January 2014!  So keep a look out!

Here are two projects I've just recently completed and thought you'd like to have a quick look.  The first one is 3" x 3" Typewriter note cards with a box - this idea was posted on Papercraft45 - I just love this site as the projects and tutorials are amazing!

For the next project I used the Giggle Greetings Stamp set and the inspiration for these cards I found on Printerest.  I just love the different sayings on each stamp!

Happy New Year!

Wishing all my blog readers a Happy New Year!  There are some exciting things coming this year from Stampin' Up!  The much anticipated 2014 Sale-A-Bration and the 2014 Occasions Catalogue!  These two great events will be launching on 28 January 2014 - so keep a look out!

Ladies Night Christmas Shopping Market

I know that it has been quite some time since my last post, but I've been crazy busy over the last couple of weeks preparing and creating craft products to sell at my daughter's Ladies Night Christmas Shopping Market which was held on Friday, 15 November.  Once again it was a very successful night for me and I hope for the rest of the other stall holders that were there too.
I would like to send out some thanks to some of the crafters in blog land who were the inspiration for some of the products that I made, to name a few - Brenda Quintana (Advent Calendars, Christmas Trees and Santa Hats), Calla Lily Studio (Card-in-a-Box), DO Stamping (gift card holders) and many others.  Here are some pictures of what was available on my table.

 

 

 

 

I am now preparing for my final Christmas Market which is to be held on Saturday, 7 December down in Browns Bay!
