Thoughts Box
You might remember the little 4×4 Desktop Box set I shared the other day using the Upsy Daisy set. Well since I finished that I wanted to make one of these sets for our standard A6 cards and then the June Colour Challenge was announced for our ESAD (Extra Special Australian Demonstrator) Yahoogroup so thought […]
Sweet Tote
Today I travelled down the big hill to run the Sweet Tote class. I love meeting with these ladies every couple of weeks as they have not only become lovely customers but they’ve also become great friends – I love that about Stampin’ Up! as running the classes I do I have made so many […]

Sweet and Pretty
Last Saturday I did a demonstration for one of my Stamp A Stack ladies and with this month’s Designer Series Papers promotion I wanted to show how well everything co-ordinates and how easy the colour matching really is. I had seen this Convention swap card made by Lisa Beck from New Zealand which my up-line […]

Crimped Roses
It’s finally the last day of School Holidays here in Sydney and the girls and I took the opportunity to go and do a little (?) shopping today. Caitlyn received some gift cards from various places for her birthday last week so we spent those and, as usual, spent a little of my money … […]

One of the things I truly love about making your own cards and gifts is being able to coordinate your gifts with your card and seeing the delight on the recipients face when they see all their matching goodies. There is no other company I know of that coordinates their products as well as Stampin’ […]
