And here's another very best of Stampin' Up to celebrate there 25th year .... and with the launch of the autumn winter seasonal catalogue, it had to be a best of Christmas :)

The "Best Of" Flyers are all on my specials and promotions page.

Anniversary's ....

Well here I am and I have to say I have been struggling to keep up of late. I have been meeting myself coming back and doing a few extra days at work to cover my colleague who has been on leave. I've hardly had any crafting time and on top of that I could be moving house in four weeks arrrrrggghhhh. Ah well only about 100 boxes left to pack, and I have made a huge dint in my efforts, (I have packed 8) !!! But today I took half an hour to make this card for my Mum and Dad's Golden Wedding Anniversary which is coming up very soon (at the end of the month). Well done mum and dad for making through 50 years of marriage and still being in love, so sweet, here's the card I have made for them, a variation on a previously loved theme, but hey, I am rather busy :)

Christmas in July (well August) ....

A shout out to my friends in Australia where they have Christmas in July, when I went to training this week, it made me think of Christmas even though it is only August. Julie Kettlewell my SU "upline" had a training event on Tuesday and we made these lovely samples .....

Julie demonstrated a great little stamp set that is appearing soon in the new seasonal catalogue, with one pack of crumb cake card stock and a couple of markers, using this design, it is possible to make 48 cards for £22.10. If you wish to add the designer paper and bakers twine that's an extra £8.75. Great price to make hand made Christmas cards.

Trollied ....

So although I love the way SU punches stack together so well, it seems every time I need a punch, it is the one at the bottom of the pile. So a while ago a friend of mine (Debbie Reid) showed this trolley on facebook, she bought it from Ikea, and I thought, I have to get me one of those, although I was shocked by the price, I expected it to be around £20 at Ikea but it was a wee bit more than that !!! Anyway here it is full of my lovely punches, I am so in love with it right now LOL ;)   

August Offers ....

August offers from Stampin Up! and a pretty exciting time for us demo's as we can pre order for the up coming new seasonal which will be out next month, so watch this space for some sneak peak projects :)
