STAMPIN’ TIME CALENDAR

It has been so long since the Catalogue Launch … almost four long months!!

Since then the Holiday Catalogue has been released and I have lots of amazing new products that I am playing with … in preparation for a host of new classes that I am excited to share with you.

You can now find details about these classes on my site … in three places – WHAT’S ON @ STAMPIN’ TIME in the banner, as well as STAMPIN’ TIME EVENTS and STAMPIN’ TIME EVENTS CALENDAR in the sidebar.

I am thrilled that I have taught myself how to embed my Google Calendar into this site … not bad for someone who is a little technically challenged. The next challenge is to figure out how to adjust the sidebar to display the calendar more effectively … there is a print icon that will allow you to see a better overview of the upcoming classes.

Classes are planned for October and November … there are four main classes available to choose from:

CARD TIME

STAMPIN’ TIME

TOOL TIME 1..2..3

TECHNIQUE TIME           with class descriptions outlined in WHAT’S ON @ STAMPIN’ TIME.

You can also contact me if you want to host your own PARTY TIME for friends and family.

Looking forward to sharing these classes with you.

A QUICK UPDATE – PHOTOS SOON!

In a nutshell …
– back from Convention
– down and out for a couple of weeks with the flu (boohoo)
– still managed to find the energy to place my orders and start a little playing
– have organised my first three-four months of classes AND have posted them on my Stampin’ Up website blog

I am very happy to announce that I am hosting a 2015-2016 Catalogue Launch Open House on the last Sunday in May... and I’ve been able to send out lots of invitations … and if you are close to Bargara and would like to join me, just email me at mmmstampintime@gmail.com for details.

And, all my Open House make and takes, product playground projects and goodies are planned, cut and ready to pack … woohoo!

So – I have been quiet but busily pottering along in my craft room and have lots of photos to share very soon!

TIME TO PLAY

The first of three pre-order BBBs arrived from Stampin’ Up this morning … so I had to start playing.

(For those who have not experienced SU abbreviations before – BBB stands for big brown box – although mine was really only a MBB, it’s more fun to dream of BBBs arriving, filled with goodies).

I was able to play with the Gift Bag Punch Board in the Product Playground at Convention last week, so I was really excited that it arrived today.

I used Whisper White cardstock and a stamp from the ‘I Think You’re Great’ stamp set in the new catalogue – this was our stamp set for convention. The background is stamped in Island Indigo and Marina Mist … not using ink pads or the full stamp image … how do you think it was done?

The gift bag has a square base … not quite the way the small, medium and large bags are finished … any ideas?

You may need to join in my first Tool Time class which will feature the Gift Bag Punch Board. Check out my Stampin’ Up blog for class times soon …  http://www.stampinup.net/esuite/home/mmmstampintime/

Before my order had arrived, I was using another stamp from the “I Think You’re Great’ stamp set and the 2014-2016 in colour markers to create a range of different backgrounds (it would have been the new 2015-2017 in colours if they had arrived … soon!)

I’m really pleased with the effects they produced.

Now, here’s a little colour play I had at Convention … I wish I had taken a pile of Whisper White cardstock with me!

As you can see – it’s amazing the way different colour combinations can give the same image such variety. I am looking forward to using the new in colours very soon!
