I am so excited to be able to share with you the fantastic news that Stampin' Up's Sale-a-Bration event starts today through until 28th February 2010.

You can view the Sale-a-Bration leaflet

Sale-a-Bration gives you the opportunity to earn FREE stamp sets in one of three different ways

As a Customer

During Sale-a-Bration every customer can earn FREE stamp sets (choose any one of 4 different sets). All you need to do is place a minimum order of £45 ( net sales before P&P) and you will gain your first free set. There is no limit as to the number of free sets you can earn. For EVERY £45 you spend you will earn another set of your choice.

The stamp sets are unique and exclusive to this event and therefore will not be available for general purchase at any time. If you would like to own these very special sets you will need to place a qualifying order before 28th February.

As a Hostess

Host a workshop either in your home or at mine during this period and as long as your total order value reaches £300 ( net sales before P&P) you will earn one FREE Sale-a-Bration stamp set. ( Bear in mind this stamp set will be in addition to the usual Hostess benefits that you would gain from a workshop at this level).

As a Recruit

If you are already thinking of joining Stampin' Up as a demonstrator there can be no better time than during this Sale-a-Bration event.

Sign up during Sale-a-Bration and you will not only receive the already amazing value for money starter kit, you will also earn

FREE stamp set of your own choice to a value of £38.95

( from the current Idea Book and Catalogue excluding Hostess sets)

Please contact me if you require any more information or if you wish to place an order.

Live Your Dream

Following on from my previous post I thought I would share another class creation with you. This selection is what my sister made yesterday. We had a whole day crafting during which she made this Live your Dream class followed by the Mini Memory Book and Card Class. She was really pleased with her finished projects and this format of a whole day of craft worked well for her too. (She works night shifts and sometimes struggles to make all the classes

I love how this bag and cards set looks in So Saffron and Chocolate Chip.

Greenhouse Garden Class cards

Hi there

I had my Greenhouse Garden classes yesterday and all my ladies enjoyed making the mini album and the card. I wanted to share a couple of their creations with you today and these are the cards that Cathy and Jenny created.

Cathy has just moved house and hasn't been able to craft for a while as all her stash is packed away(so glad you enjoyed your crafting morning) and Jenny is the newest lady to join my classes and has only just started making cards ( I am so pleased that you are loving the experience so far)

Both ladies opted to make their cards into Mother's Day creations and I am sure the respective "Mum's" will love the cards.

Isn't it lovely how each lady choose a completely different layout for the 3-D flowers ? I hope all of you enjoy seeing my ladies creations for a change.

Circle Circus Thanks

I thought I would share these little 4x4 cards with you. They are the cards for my Stampers 10 ladies to say thank you for their orders. I wanted them to all be the same theme but in colours to suit each individual member of the group. I picked the 10 colours and then, using my markers I coloured the pieces of Whisper White to match the colour of the stamped images . They are certainly a little bit different from my usual style as they are quite bright and modern looking but all of my ladies loved them. I do need to use this Circle Circus stamp set more as it's gorgeous.

Well I am going to do my 1st demonstration and mini card making session with the Ladies Guild on Thursday evening so I have a busy morning ahead preparing their little make and take packets and getting my display boards ready. I also have two classes tomorrow so all my Thursday preparation has to be finished by the end of today so I had better go and get myself moving.

Hope you like these cards for today.

Live Your Dream Carousel Notes Class

Yet again I have missed a few days between my posts. This is mainly because I have been busy crafting for a few days and have been busy arranging a venue for my first all day craft event on Saturday 8th May. ( Call back after the weekend for all the finer details)

I have also made a little birthday gift for a crafting friend and fellow demo, cut and prepared all the materials for my mini memory book class which is next Wednesday and for the past two days I have been getting my NEXT class ready, the first class for this is for the 25th February....... I cannot believe that I am managing to get this class done so far in advance I am usually frantically typing up notes etc at the last minute.

It never ceases to amaze me just how quickly the time goes when I am in the creative mood in my little craft room, I am sure I only blinked on Monday and it is now Friday already. Anyway I thought I would share the pictures of the next class with you to prove I haven't been idle whilst I have been missing in action.

The Carousel Notes bag template comes from the lovely Jenny Moors over at Stamping Moments. She did a gorgeous tutorial with little tiny love note sized cards but I have made mine bigger at 10cm square. I hope you like them..................

Don't forget to call back next week if you would like more details of my Crafting Event on 8th May ( regular ladies please email me asap if you wish to book as places are limited)

Greenhouse Garden Class

Thought I would share pictures of my next class with you. This class features my favourite stamp set Greenhouse Garden. I am combining the card design I made for my Mother in Law's birthday along with a decorated chipboard mini book to match. The colours are Almost Amethyst, Pretty in Pink and Whisper White which match perfectly with the Tea Party designer papers which we will be using to cover the chipboard books.

This class seems to be proving popular, with the result being that my regular ladies have all booked their places very quickly. If you like the look of this class and would like to make the projects yourself please feel free to email me to see if I can fit you in the existing classes or make a date for an additional class just for you.
