Woo Hoo I am going away

Well Ladies I am posting this today to let you all no that I am going on a Stamp Camp. Yes thats right a stamp camp. Woo Hoo. There will be approx 40 demonstrators there and I am so looking forward to non stop stamping for 24 hours.....
When I get back I will post some pictures and I will have lots of new things to show you all. We are all doing swaps so lots of different designs and techniques to be learnt. Plus I will have some off the page projects that will be coming to a class soon.

Also don't forget to check back here on Monday as I will be posting the Last Chance List from the 2009- 2010 Idea Book and Catalogue for you all to have a look through. I will be placing an order for any Items on this list on the 6th August so this will give you all enough time to have a look and purchase those items that you want that you have never got around to ordering. Remember this is called The Last chance List for a reason, once gone they are gone.

I'm off the stamp my heart out.

Playing with my Blog design

Hello, you may have noticed a few changes to my blog lately. I have been having a play and decided to change a few things. Not only have I changed my header, don't you just love those monkey's, but you will find a reaction button at the end of all my posts now. So if you don't like leaving comments even though I love to read them, you can just click on the button to let me know you like it.
I really do love it when you pop on by to have a look at what I have been up to. It is a highlight to my day when I know some one has popped in.
So until next time
Happy Stampin

Happy Bird Day

Playing around with the 2 Step Bird Punch again. This card is made with Rose Red, Pink Pirouette and Certain Celery Cardstock. I have used the scallop die with the Bigshot machine and I rolled vellum paper with the fast flowers wheel for an added touch. I have used for the sentiment the Picture This Hostess set, I just love this set, it seems to go with everything
Thanks for looking and don't forget all comments are appreciated.

Happy Stamping

Stationery Gift Set

Well what a weekend it has been I have been involved in the ESAD Christmas in July Bloghop and with so many wonderful demonstrators out there, I managed to get some great inspiration and ideas. Thanks to all the other demonstrators that have inspired me soooo much this weekend.

I have seen these sets around before and have actually never got around to making one but I set aside some me time and got cracking on some projects that I have been wanting to do for a while.

This is a Stationery Gift Box. I have used the Designer Series Paper Walk in the Park (Now retired). With some matching cardstock in Basic Grey and So Saffron. The box, the tags and cards that go inside all come from 2 sheets of 12" x 12" DSP, 3 sheets of A4 cardstock.

I managed to make 2 Large cards and 4 smaller cards along with 6 tags. There is a place for a pen and note pad as well.

I got the inspiration to actually sit down and make one of these from the lovely Richelle and Angela. Thanks Ladies

Thanks for Looking

Pirate Party Cupcakes

Here is a photo of the cupcakes I made for my Son's Birthday. As you can see it was a Pirate theme. There is also a picture of the take home bag that all the kids got. I made one for the girls and one for the boys. They all had a blast, playing pirate games and just in general had a good old time.
Thanks for looking

Kids Class

Well, yes it is that time again, and the kids are on holidays. As I do every holidays I organise a craft class for the children. We all get to make and card and some sort of, off the page project. I just love watching the childrens faces and seeing their smiles when they look at what they can make. This is what the children got to make this time.

I hope all the mum's enjoyed their gift that their children made for them.
Thanks for looking
