THANK YOU FOR FOLLOWING …

It’s probably very obvious that I am relatively new to all this online stuff.

I have had a Facebook account for a little while … so that I can be involved in some Stampin’ Up groups and follow friends with more skills than myself.

This whole website thing is very new but incredibly exciting.

I’ve been looking at My Stats to see where different people have been looking at my blog from – and it’s amazing – Australia, UK, USA, Canada, Brazil, New Zealand, Germany, France, Portugal, Mexico, Indonesia, Sweden, Spain, Kenya and Italy (my favourite country outside Australia)!

This is almost as good as travelling!!

And, I love to travel and have been very fortunate to experience many of these countries.

Welcome to everyone who pops by … I hope you enjoy what you see.

Please contact me … I would love to hear about where you are and what you enjoy doing craft-wise ….

And to the very brave followers of my blog … thanks for jumping on board … I would love to know more about you, so if you are keen – contact me … we could become friends …

VALENTINE’S DAY … COUNTDOWN

With Valentine’s Day only a month away, I thought I’d start designing some cards.

The lovely new products in the Occasions Catalogue make it very easy to create cards for the one/s you love, during this romantic time of the year.

For these cards, I chose very simple layouts and used the new Happy Heart Textured Embossing Folder, Hello Life stamp set and one teeny heart punched from the Confetti Heart Border Punch (the rest is for another project not quite finished yet) …. along with a little bling from silver Glimmer Paper and elements from other products from our current catalogues.

I hope you’re all starting to prepare something special for your Valentine …. don’t forget to share.

SOURCES OF INSPIRATION …1

Intended to get this post done yesterday … better late than never!

One of the first places to get great ideas and inspiration form is any one of the Stampin’ Up catalogues.

With all the design talent working at SU … I love seeing the different ways the products have been used.

I confess that I love CASEing lots of the catalogue ideas.

Sometimes I even get creative myself and take an idea and tweek it to make it ‘my own’.

Please share any of the catalogue ideas you have used as inspiration – I would love to see them!

Here are some cards CASEd from the latest Occasions catalogue and Sale-a-bration brochure … can you find the pages they came from?
