What's in the Box????

At about lunch time today a very nice UPS man knocked on the door and handed me a LARGE brown box!! Can you guess what was inside the box??
My lovely items from the NEW Stampin'Up catalogue of course!!

These are some of the many new papers. On the left is Merry Moments, fab Christmas papers ready for my Christmas Stamp-a-Stack on 31st October. On the right is the new Perfect Plum DSP papers, such a yummy rich colour, my picture doesn't do it justice!

Then my lovely new stamp sets, Perfect Presents again for my Christmas class, Trendy Trees, Say it With Scallops and my hostess set Out of the Box.

And then of course the tools and accessories! A few new ink pads including the NEW craft white ink pad, glitters for Christmas and the glue pen to use with them, punches including the new eyelet scallop border punch, a wheel and the new mat pack and piercing tool.

Plenty to keep me going for a least a few weeks!!!

Don't forget that if you want to order and of the NEW catalogue items then just drop me an email.

I'll be back tomorrow with some cards to show you.

WOW what a weekend!!!

I arrived back home yesterday from a wonderful weekend with some of my SU family. We stayed in this beautiful house in a tiny village nestled between Stow-on-the-Wold and Boughton-on-the-Water.

We spent the weekend having loads of fun and of course loads of crafting was involved too!

Here are some of the girls having a well earned break during our shoe box swop. Can you believe we made 9 cards in one day!!

And then some of us dressed up for our "glam night" and watched Strictly Come Dancing. There was also plenty of crafting in pyjamas too!!

Here is the first of many pics of the cards we made over the weekend. I'll be back later to show you more.

A Little Birdie....

..... has been helping me get ready for my NEW Stampin'Up Catalogue launch party.
I love this set, it's so versatile and the bird is great for cards for all ages.


I decided I would be at a bit daring, well daring for me anyway, and use some brighter colours! Tempting Turquoise, Real Red, Pumkin Pie and Green Galore.

I used my spiral punch and my cutter kit to distress the edges and used some scraps of dimentionals to make the beak stand out.

Yet again we have another busy week. My sister is staying with us for a few days, the boys are loving spending the time with her. I am trying to get ready for Julies Jems weekend away! I really need to write a list of bits I need to take and bits I need to do before I go.

It's going to be a fab weekend with my SU sisters, sharing, getting to know each other and of course some crafting!!

I'm off to get a pad and pen to write a list or 2!!

Tin for 10 years!!!

I'm posting this now as I know I won't have chance tomorrow.
It's our 10th wedding anniversary tomorrow and if you follow the traditional gifts 10 years is tin. Well there's not much that's made of tin these days so I stuck to the metal theme with silver instead.
Jonathan has wanted a new tie clip for ages but we have struggled to find one. When I saw this in the jewellers in town I knew it was perfect and I just had to get it engraved.

I just hope he likes it!!

This is the card I have made for him using the items that Anne sent for our recent Jems Challenge. The card blank, black card stock and vellum are from my stash the rest if from the kit that Anne sent.

Tomorrow is going to be a very busy but strange day. Tomorrow our worship band His2Own are playing at the funneral of a one of our biggest supporters. She was sadly taken from us last week after a hard battle with a tuma in her head and neck. I think it will be one of the hardest things we have ever had to do! I just hope and pray that we do her proud and that when I open my mouth to sing something actually comes out.

Then after the usual school runs etc we have our alternative service in the evening when the band playing again. The bit I'm really looking forward to is after when we are all coming back to ours for a well deserved curry and glass or two of something strong!!!

For those who believe in the power of prayer, please say one for our band at 11:30am and for those that don't please send us your positive thoughts.

Hopefully I'll be back on Saturday.

No Longer Around

I have decided that as one of my favourite sets of papers is no longer going be around after the end of the month, that I ought to make the most of having it and actually use it.
The Summer Picnic papers are great for making cards for both boys and girls, which is one reason I love them so much.


Here is a very quick and simple card I made using the very cute rabbit from the Forest Friends stamp set.



I added some faux stitch detail using a black pen and used SU dimentionals to lift the scallop circle off the card slightly.

I've been into town today to get Jonathan a very special gift for our wedding anniversary on Friday. I can't show you just yet, incase he decides to look at my blog. I just hope he likes it!!!
He is out tonight so hopefully I can get some cards made and find a suitable hidding place for his gift.
I should be back tomorrow to show you more of what I've made.
