Spring has Sprung!
Well it was a beautiful Spring day on Friday in Sydney and I flew down to Victoria yesterday to do some ‘family’ things that need doin. I managed to spend the day yesterday with some lovely demonstrators I’ve been ‘networking’ with online for a while. It was great to finally meet Kim Conway, Kylie O’Brien, […]
Elegant Embossing
Happy Friday! I am on a group where we were given a challenge to do a technique that we havent tried before – to me that in itself is a challenge! So after thinking for a while I thought I’d try the Inked Embossing Technique – now I dont know if there is a correct […]

A Razzleberry Christmas
We all love new stamps do we not? Being a Stampin Up! demonstrator has many benefits and one of those is to be able to pre-order stamps and products prior to the catalogue being released. This goes for all catalogues and allows us to have some samples made up for when the new catalogue commences. […]
Time
Time is one thing we all seem to crave yet can never get enough of! I was so glad to see the Sense of Time stamp set included in the new 2010-2011 Idea Book & Catalogue. Its a great set to use for cards for those males in our lives. I’ve even seen some great […]

What do you do with …….
Ribbon Spools ? Well empty ones at least! You can pull the spools apart and remove the circle pieces of cardboard. Now you could keep one of each size and use these as circle templates – that is until you’ve saved the money to buy the Circle Scissor Plus! These can also be used to […]
