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
Sunday 19th April, from 1 -3pm
45 Naomi court Morayfield. { Tanya's place}
Cost: $10 + $10 for new Catalogue purchaces.
4 Make and takes will be done by 4 different demonstators.
There will be door prizes, nibbles and drinks, products on display, samples and lots more.
Free stamp sets to be given away!

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.

Embrace Life:
This is another of the new Summer Mini sets that I just Love. They also showcase the new All Scollops and Say it with Scallops sets. The colour combination of the For You card is one of my favourites. Groovy Guava, Rose Red, Regal Rose, River Rock [ not quite as my camera has shown]. I have also used the new 1" Rose Red double-stitched ribbon. the Hi card uses Ruby red as in the new Ginger Blossom paper.

Summer Mini Catalogue: Dec'08-Mar'09

December is here and Christmas is fast approaching. Hope you all had enough time to do at least a few Chistmas cards. I have only done a portion of what I would have liked to do. Please have a look at my sharing cards site for these.

Now the new Summer Mini is here. How many more great sets can they come up with! We even have our own set called Ocean Commotion, shown below. This is used with an embossed resist technique and brayered background. The colours are Tempting Turquiose, Taken with Teal and So Safron.

This is an embossed resist card again, using the new Eastern Blooms set and Happy Everything sets. The paper is from the new Bali Breeze series, and for extra texture the new Flower Fusion flowers.

Hi everyone, I've finally crossed something off my to do list. We painted a feature wall in my daughter's room. I couldn't go past the Bold Butterfly set for this one. To help match in the quilt cover I also added some flowers. The Friendship Blooms, Love without end, and Bodacious sets gave me the flowers and swirls. She love's it! And I am very happy with my first attempt to stamp on the walls. If you were unable or not quite sure about this, stamping on canvas would also give you a great look for decorating, without being permanent.

Hi Everyone, I can't believe it has been 3 months since my last blog! My two children and I have celebrated our birthays. Mine being the big one! My husband and I escaped for 5 glorious nights on our own to fiji. Since returning, my busy schedule, illness and organizing party's has meant I couldn't bring myself to navigating my way around doing this. I'm still slow to working it all out! Anyway here it goes. Enjoying all the new sets in this years catalogue, has meant lots of different cards. The spring mini then launched even more fabulous sets to get and play with. I have had a great class this term at community learning, and we tried a few new techniques. Digging out my old brayer and experimenting with colour, sponging, embossing, and using the blender pens in "blurred vison" has opened up a whole new style for me. I know I have enjoyed growing in this way and hope you all have too. Now I'm starting my cards for next term and trying to start my Christmas cards. Time is running out. Arh!! What happened to my new years resolution to do one a week. I was well under way this time last year. Here is a case of one my downline, Fiona came up with. I loved the colours!! Hers was embossed resisted though, like my other.

Please check out the others on the sharing cards site. I'll try to upload them soon and keep adding more as I do them, so I don't get so behind. God Bless and happy stamping. Jo
