Welcome to new viewers!

Can I just say how much I am enjoying sharing ‘Stampin’ Up!’ and my cards with you all! I am meeting so many beautiful people and getting such pleasure out of seeing you all have fun at the ‘StampaStacks’ held over the last few months. I love the creativity that flows when people have a bit of a play around with the designs and go ‘outside the square’. I am definitely a much more structured, simple card maker but I love to see people ‘cut loose’ so to speak!
As I have mentioned in my 'About Me' box, I only joined Stampin’ Up! For the discount, I now can’t believe I have my own client base and a blog page!!
I decided to include ‘scrapbooking’ in the title because I joined Stampin’ Up! mainly for scrapbooking and I do hope to continue in this line more one day! When I get the time!
I have posted some of the cards we make at the StampaStacks and as I make more cards, I will add them on so hopefully it will be an evolving page!!

Thank you for taking the time to visit my site!

Out with the Old and in with the New

The end of March signifies many things, the end of Daylight Saving, possibly the end of warm weather and the end of the 2008/2009 Idea Book and Catalogue. If you have seen the list of retiring products, you will see that many of our favourites are disappearing ready to make way for new and exciting products. I have already had a sneak peak and I can’t wait to get my hands on some of them. The new editions of the Designer Series Paper are just beautiful and many of you will be pleased to see some of the stamp sets from last years’ Mini Catalogues included in this new one. I know some of you were disappointed last year when you missed out on ordering some of the Christmas stamps but you are now in luck!
Don’t forget you have until Tuesday 31st March to order products from the current catalogue that appear on the retiring list (that’s if they are still available). Also be aware that the stamp pads will be increasing in price from $9.95 to $11.95 as will the ink refills, $4.95 to $5.95. If you would like to order any of these products, please let me know by Tuesday morning 31st March as I only have until 5.00pm to place the orders! I have perused the new catalogue and all other prices seem to remain the same.

Weekend Away

I have just had the most beautiful weekend away with my girlfriends. We hired a house on The Esplanade at Henley Beach and we were fortunate enough to have the perfect Autumn weather. The windy rainy weather was conjusive to staying indoors and do nothing but watch DVD's, read magazines and sit around chatting having lovely cups of tea and coffee. The perfect weekend! None of us took any craft but we should have because it was the perfect time without children to focus on the task at hand. Next time I will definately pack all my craft gear to make the most of the opportunity! What I did get to do though was read some lovely magazines which inspired me with some patterns and colour combo's so I might play around with that in the next week or so.

Cards Uploaded

I have finally uploaded photo's of some of my cards. The photo quality didn't come up as well as I had hoped but maybe I need to have a bit more of a play around!
My design style is more of a classic, structured style. I prefer to think of it as 'Less is more'.
What I do love however, that in some of my workshops, the girls will have a play around and create their own designs. That is what this is all about, finding your style and coming up with something you are happy with.

I've done all I can for the night!

Well, it didn't take long to add a few more things to it. What I do need to do is add more photo's, these will come tomorrow as they are currently on my camera, ready to be downloaded to the computer. I can see how this could be addictive.

Welcome

How easy was that to create my blog! Well, all I have done is sign up and I am now entering information so we'll see how many hours it takes me to 'pretty' it up now!
