STAMPIN’ TIME CLASS … SUNDAY 13TH MARCH

I’ve just finished putting the finishing touches on next week’s projects …

I love to travel and when the Occasion’s Catalogue showcased GOING PLACES, I knew this had to be one of our Stampin’ Time themes.

The projects next week will feature the Going Places DSP Stack, Going Global stamp set and World Traveler TIEF [textured impressions embossing folder] … and will create a travel journal and six small gift cards.

The class has three different opportunities for those who can join us:

* class only cost of $15

* class and the Going Global stamp set for $45 – clear mount or $55 – wood mount

* class and a bundle I have put together for you – stamp set, World Traveler textured impression embossing folder and the Going Places DSP stack for $70 – clear mount or $80 – wood mount .

There is only class scheduled this month as the second class would fall over the Easter long weekend … however, I am happy to arrange an alternate date if there is enough interest.

If you would like to join us … contact me to book your place.

HOLIDAYS = CREATING TIME …

This is the first time, in 30+ plus years as a teacher, when I have not touched any schoolwork (yet) … that equates to four weeks of holidays!!

There may have been some domestic chores to deal with and Christmas preparations & celebrations … but, most of this time has been indulgently spent crafting.

After returning from a few days in Noosa – catching up with my sister and brother and their families, I have been back in my ‘craft cave’ preparing samples to display at my Occasions Catalogue event at the end of January.

I have been re-creating many of the projects found in the catalogue and creating a few of my own …

This is my interpretation of the ‘Going Places’ framed image – page 38.

I re-created the ‘Missing You’ card from p21, using the Happy Home stamp set … and, loving the kite scene stamp, created this card using the Sale-A-Bration Stamp Set ‘Sky is the Limit’ along with ‘Happy Home’ and the window thinlit from the ‘Hearth & Home’ thinlits dies.

Finally … after re-creating the ‘Welcome Baby’ card from page 24, I created this ‘Welcome Home’ card – it is hard to go past primary colours – in this case – Crushed Curry, Real Red and Night of Navy.

In the past two days, I have crafted almost 25 cards … holidays are amazing … however, it is back to school for me next week …my goal for 2016 is to be creative every day and post at least twice a week … let’s see how I go!!

TO EACH OF YOU AROUND THE WORLD … YOU MEAN THE WORLD TO ME!

My first post was in September 2014 and it wasn’t until early 2015 that I began posting a little more regularly … now, it seems like I’m posting every other day and I am having a blast!

It is lots of fun to occasionally check out how many people have stopped by to have a peek at my site … and as a traveler, exciting to see where each of you are from.

Yesterday there were 191 views from 72 people from 10 different countries … that is amazing … THANK YOU to each of you for taking time to see what I have been doing!

So … you do mean the world to me …

This card features the World Traveler Textured Embossing Folder (TIEF), one of the sentiments from the Going Global Stamp Set and one of designs from the Going Places Designer Series Paper Stack – all from the new Occasions Catalogue!

Next … without each of you popping in to see each of my posts … there wouldn’t be much point and I would be “… lost without you”!
