    I went to one of Stephanie’s card organiser classes a couple of weeks ago and made this beautiful book to organise all my Birthday Cards for the year.

    Isn’t this just gorgeous I have used the Ginger Blossom Designer Series paper and the Embrace Life stamp set as well as some of the Silver Hodgepodge.

    Wouldn’t you just love to own one of these and get yourself organised for next year’s Birthdays?? 

     Here’s some of the inside pages.

    This one is going to go to  my Mother for her Birthday on Christmas Eve.

    Everyone who has seen these gorgeous books has wanted to make one so I have decided to run a class in January so you will be organised for the year ahead.

                   

    The class is on Sunday the 18th January starting at 2pm. 

    Cost is $30. (includes a pack of Design series paper of your choice)

    If you’d like to come along please let me know and book in as places will be limited. 

    The hardest thing about this project is choosing the paper and that needs to be done a week in advance of the class.  

    So if you want to come along on Sunday I need to know by Monday at the very latest!!!

    If this date does not suit you and you still want to make one of these I have a couple of options available for you.

    You can either get a couple of friends together and come to my place or I can come to yours and make this project or you can purchase a kit from me with all the supplies and instructions to make one on your own.

    Happy stamping

    PS. I have had to change the date of this class to the 18th January to the 11th. It will still start at 2pm and you will still need to let me know by Monday the 12th what pack of Design Series paper you would like.

    As usual I am looking for ideas at this time of year to make as gifts for my family and loved ones.

    A couple of weeks ago Makeesha posted this project as her Make it Monday #21.

    They are super easy, very practical and beautiful. The perfect gift in my book.

    This first one is made with the Bali Breeze Design Series Paper and Eastern Blooms Stamp Set. It is so fresh and summery, and reminds me of the beach.

         

    This one is made with the Ginger Blossom Design Series Paper and Embrace Life Stamp Set.

        

    These papers and Stamp Sets are new and available now from the Summer Mini Catalogue.

    If you would like to have a go at making one yourself click on the link above and it will take you straight there.

    Happy Stamping

    Since I have been unable to post for the past 3 weeks I thought I would try and catch up on a few of the Christmas cards I wanted to share with you.

    This first card is using Real Red and Old Olive. I have used a small piece of the Dashing Design Series paper and the Christmas tree from Season of Joy.

     

    My second card is the same but instead of Real Red and Old Olive I have used Always Artichoke and Purely Pomegranate. Thanks to my up-line Steph, whom I cased this card from.

     

    My third card is one that I made at my Up-line’s Xmas Stamp-a-stack. It is using Reverse Masking and Sponging. The colours are Sage Shadow and Always Artichoke and the paper is from the Wintergreen Design Series Paper.

    Happy Stamping

    This a gorgeous DVD tin folds out and can fit 5 card and envelopes as well as having some cute little pockets on the other side to store gift cards and tags.I found this idea over at Andrea Walfords site, you can purchase the instructions to make her Christmas Planner tin and then use it over and over and decorate them as you wish!

    I have used the Beautiful Ginger Blossom Paper and the Emabrace Life Stamp Set to create this project. These 2 are my pick of the Summer Mini.

     

    I found the tins on the following site:

     

     

     

    www.pcx.com.au

    I oredered 10, so I can not wait to make a few more to give as gifts throughout the year.

     

    Thanks

    I suppose you would like a little inspiration as well while you are here?

    I have been having playing with all my new toys from the Summer Mini Catalogue. I just love the scallop edge punch and the Embrace Life Stamp Set is definately my favourite.

    I absolutely love all 3 Design series papers, but Ginger Blossom would have to be my all time favourite.

     

    So here you go…..

    These  2 cards were made with the Live your Dream Stamp Set. This set co-ordinates beautifully with the Afternoon Tea Design Series Paper. The Stampin Up Markers are fantastic yto use with this stamp as you can colour the flower one colour and the stem another colour.

     

     

     Eastern Blooms Stamp Set

    Friendly Flowers

    and My Favourite Eastern Elegance

    Happy Stamping and I hope all has been forgiven for my slackness (he heee)

    Hi Everyone

    I am so sorry for my lack of blogging but I have just survived the busiest time of the year for me. For those of you who do not Know me well I am a wife, Mother of a 2 year old, Stampin’ Up Demonstrator and primary school teacher.

    I have just finished the school year which means I have also just completed report cards and all the other end of year stuff.

    Also 3 weeks ago we went to my sister’s place to help her an her family move house. Not being one to miss out on a photo opportunity I took my camera with me and it has never been seen since. I think that it has been packed into a box that is now in storage.

    Not happy Jan! Thanks to my Mum who has come to the rescue and lent me her camera, so i can update my poor neglected Blog!

    Stay tuned I have so many great projects to share with you!

    Happy Stamping
