Continue reading RETIRING PRODUCTS

It’s hard to believe that this time last week I was relaxing after my very first CATALOGUE LAUNCH OPEN HOUSE.

There were three make ‘n’ take activity stations as well as a Product Playground, where everyone could play with five different new products.

I also had a DEMONSTRATION LOCATION …where I demonstrated three extra projects using some of the amazing new products available in Stampin’ Ups! 2015-2016 catalogue.

We even enjoyed … WATERMELON WONDER cordial; CUCUMBER CRUSH sandwiches; DELIGHTFUL DIJON, Swiss cheese and ham sandwiches, MINT MACARON coloured macarons and many other goodies …

And, now that I have lots of new products to play with, I am very excited about all the classes I am planning for the rest of the year.

If you are interested in being part of these classes, make sure you contact me for more information.

Enjoy the new catalogue!

I cannot believe that it has been ten weeks since my last post … however, it has been a very busy 10 week term at school.

During this time there has been far too little cardmaking and creativity! I did manage to make it to one of the Stamp Club classes that I enjoy so much.

School finished Thursday and I am now enjoying the Easter weekend followed by another week and a half of school holidays!!

I know this might seem amazing …. but you should see my preparation to do list … that starts Monday!

So with that nasty list hanging over my head, yesterday I chose to make Good Friday the start of a crafting frenzy. The aim was to try to find my crafting ‘mojo’ and use up some retired papers to create some cards to pop away into my stash.

I am pleased to ‘announce’ that I have made 23 cards, used up some retired SU product and with the ‘Sending Good Thoughts’ card I finished half an hour ago … I have found my mojo.

This is an example of another way to source inspiration – be desperate – I started with retired Designer Series papers, matched current cardstock, selected current stamps and used a range of tools (1-2 retired) … but, I did it!

I hope you enjoy these samples from the last 24-36 hours! (P.S. spot the one card that is upside down!)

And … thank you to those of you who have checked in to my blog during my prolonged absence!
