Good Morning everyone!
I hope you’re ready for the ESAD Sale A Bration Blog Hop! Better go grab yourself a cuppa as you’ll be hopping for a while!
What is ESAD you say?
ESAD stands for Extra Special Australian (and New Zealand) Demonstrators and it is an online group just for Australian and New Zealand demonstrators for Stampin’ Up!
We so love what we do and not only do we love to share it with our customers, friends and wonderful blog visitors but we share our love for what we do with each other as Demonstrators. We run swaps, challenges, tutorials, product know how and cyberstamp and we are always there to help and support each other when its needed.
So if you are a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator located in Australia or New Zealand then please feel free to click on the button below to join our wonderful group.
Now before I share my project with you I also want you to know that if you do make it around to all 41 Blogs involved in today’s Blog Hop and if you make a comment on each one you are then in the running for some Extra Special Blog Candy. The demonstrators from all over have donated blog candy for this blog hop and if you are the lucky winner you’ll be getting all sorts of parcels and you will truly think that Christmas has come early this year and that you’ve been a very good girl (or guy)! Now if you do get to all and comment on all the blogs shoot me an email with your name and email address and then everyone who has also visited and commented on all the blogs will go in the drawer for the ‘extra special’ blog candy. Last time Lynda Shrimpton was the lucky winner and just loved all her little surprises however this time we will have 3 blog candy winners so please enjoy the trip and dont forget to leave comments cos we really do love having people comment on our blogs.
Now onto my project …..
I love all the stamp sets that are available in the Sale A Bration Catalogue and chose to pre-order the Vintage Labels to use and make samples to share with you. Last November we had Regional Training with Stampin Up! in Sydney and it was there that one of the demonstrators recommended making classes using our Notecards so thats exactly what I’ve done.
Here is the set I created.
I created a box which holds 5 Notecards and envelopes.
Th
e box is a new creation of mine which was inspired by an item in my bathroom – its amazing what we get our inspiration from sometimes hey?
The base is done using Old Olive cardstock and I’ve used Bella Rose Designer Series Papers to complete this whole set. I’ve also used a build a brad to embellish the closure and the closure is secured by a velcro dot.
All the cards are completed using the Notecards available in the 2009-2010 Idea Book & Catalogue, Rose is a Rose stamp set, Vintage Labels Sale A Bration Stamp Set and the Bella Rose Designer Series Papers with coordinating cardstock.
Here are the cards
I do hope you like this little set as much as I loved making them. Now remember to leave me a comment and your next stop on the blog hop is the blog of the lovely & talented Linda Craven.
Dont forget to send me an email at leonie@stamp-a-latte.com to advise when you have completed the blog hop … winners will be announced 31st January.

Donna … would you believe that I have a body tremor (thanks dad!) so my hands are always shakey and sometimes more shakey than ‘normal’ – its a great reply for those who say they cant stamp cos they have shakey hands 😉 and we wont even talk about my eyes!! lol I love cutting out like this as i find it very therapeutic. ~Leonie~
