Monthly card Buffet

Something Old, Something New, From the Mini and Christmas too! With my new cards I'm trying to use a variety of stamp sets for christmas cards, based on my new Kits.

As promised I have organized the next monthly card buffet, for Saturday 29th at 1.30pm. It is rather short notice as I have been waiting to see if I could fit in the time. Busy, busy at the moment. It's a four card workshop based on the products in the Bella Rose Kit. The cost will be $15. Spaces are limited, so let me know if you are coming so I can guarantee your spot.

Thanks to all who attended our New 2009-2010 Idea and Catalogue Launch. We had a great turn out, and a great time was had by all. Melanie & Vicki won the prize baskets and there were other prizes through out the day.
Here are some great sample cards on display from the Launch. We were so busy only two photos were taken. See my sharing cards site for some of my new creations.

Hi Everyone,
I'm so sorry for being so quiet. The start of this year I decided to take a bit of a break. I held the first event of the year with Sale-a-bration, which was a success. Thanks, to everyone that came! March has been maddness. With all those lovely sets they were deleting, I had to have another play! So have a look at some of the cards I've created on my sharing cards site. I hope everyone got to get everything they wanted, if not feel free to contact me and I might be able to help find a second hand set or even loan you any of mine. The end of March our computer died. Yes! Gasp, and we lost all those things we take for granted. Email address, favourites ect. But thankfully I had just finished organizing my cards and photo files onto a flashdrive. I've not managed to reorganize my emails for Stampin'Up! customers yet so I've decided to update my blog and hopefully some of you will get this through the subscription. Please feel free to email me and jot a line of hello. I'd love to here what you have all been up too, and then I'd have your address again.

April has come and the new "09-"10 Idea Book and Catalogue is here. New catalogues are available at the special price of $10 for the month of April. We are also having a New Catalogue Launch on

This is the card I will be making at the launch. We get to watercolour! The new In- colours: Kiwi Kiss, Tangerine Tango, Pink Pirouette, are used.

I have had a play with the new in colours! Baja Breeze, Pacific Point, Riding Hood Red. I think Baja is my new favourite! These sets are from the American catalogue. I managed to buy online but unfortunately they didn't make it into our new catalogue. Maybe they will be it the Mini.
