Product Sneak ....

well I did promise a sneak peak at some of the new products which will be available soon :) As demo's, we are able to pre-order from a small selection of new products about a month before the new catalogue goes live. This gives us a little time to prepare some projects and samples to showcase all the gorgeous new items including the new in-colours. There are five new ink colours that are released each year with the launch of the annual catalogue, these are this years offerings.

Spotted on kinfeecrafter's blog

Cardstock, ink, lace ribbon, and resin flower embellishments all in the coordinating In-Colours.

Welcome ....

well not quite LOL, just a teaser but just over one week to go, I felt it safe to post a photo of the brand new, fun filled and action packed Stampin' Up! 2015 /2016 Annual catalogue. Now you'll have to be patient, before you can get your hands on the catalogue and place an order when it goes live on the first of June, but here on the front of the catty, I can see one kit that is going to be very popular (such a cute little tin)  :)
......   More product sneaks in the next few days.

Project Life ....

Fast Fun and Fuss Free, or sometimes known as pocket scrapbooking, I know I have made a post on this subject before, but I just wanted to share (again) how simple this concept is, get your photo's off your phone or computer, and keep them safe in beautiful albums, where you can record your thoughts and memories and tell your story forever. This is literally all you need ....

Let's Get Away card collection

Pack of Assorted page protectors to slip your photo's and cards into
Then all you have to do is add some writing :)

 

Farewell ....

Just a quick reminder that the current Annual and Seasonal catalogues, are coming to an end really soon. We have had the retirement list for the annual, and lots of great stamp sets are going. We don't get a retirement list for the seasonal, so you either have to take a gamble that something will have been so popular that they will carry it over into the new Annual, or miss out on something you have been coveting but waiting to buy :) these are the two catalogues which will come to an end at the end of May even though they say they are current to the end of June on the reverse (this is because we are being brought in line with the USA launch dates) so go on, have a last look, and make sure you don't miss out :)

Hot Diggity Dog ....

A friend of mine was visiting recently and she had the stamp set Hot Diggity Dog in her bag :) While she was here I grabbed a sheet of white card and stamped a few images on it, so I don't feel as if I'm really doing this stamp set justice. It has some more really cute images and "quotes", check it out in the main catalogue on page 113.

Balloon Bash ....

Well with the retirement list coming out and most of the papers being retired I thought it an outrage that I still haven't made a layout with the gorgeous Birthday Bash designer series papers, and what better to coordinate them with than the birthday bash stamp set. I know this is going to stay in my stampin stash for a long time, it's so cute and perfect for cards of all age groups. Hope you enjoy the layout ....

I may add some spritz, washi tape and of course title and age !

Hello Life Project Kit ....

I've been meaning to make this kit up for months. I have had it for ages, it was one of the first things I ordered from the current seasonal catalogue and I love it. I delayed as I was busy with card classes and my retreat, but I just spent some time today relaxing on the settee and putting it together. I love how there are loads of pre cut elements for you to mix and match together to give each one a unique twist. Now all I have to do is print a few photographs in black and white and add them behind the polaroid frames in the bottom right :) see page 6 of the seasonal.
