Strength & Hope Sketch

4 June, 2011 10 Comments

Here we are again at another Saturday and another Utah Divas Sketch Challenge but this one is a little special. I decided this week I’d use the Strength & Hope set and remind you about the wonderful Strength & Hope Campaign and how you can help.

Years ago it was always a shock to hear of someone who had Breast Cancer and sadly these days there arent many people who dont know someone who has either had the disease and survived or someone who has lost their battle against this horrible disease.  Many doctors/scientists are tirelessly working  to find a cure and here is how you can help.

Just by purchasing this gorgeous Strength & Hope Stamp Set you are helping raise funds to go to research for a cure – with every Stamp Set sold in every Stampin’ Up! marketStampin’ Up! will donate $2.00 to the National Breast Cancer Research Foundation – that means not only here in Australia but also in New Zealand, Canada, USA, Germany and the UK. Thats alot of demonstrators all selling these sets to help raise these much needed funds so if you’d like to help please contact me to purchase your stamp set today and help. Now for all the sets I sell I will also donate a further $2 per set to the McGrath Foundation here in Australia.

Now onto this week’s sketch …

Now … I know this will surprise some of you (especially Carol) I’ve flipped it and exchanged the long rectangle for a box but do hope you like what I’ve come up with …

You would not believe how hard it was to get a decent photo of this card and I’m still not entirely happy with this picture. The card is a very soft femine card and I’m afraid the camera just cant do it justice.

You can view the full details and all the links to the other Designing Divas at the Utah Divas International Blog here and the next Diva you need to skip along to is the lovely Ruthie … oh when you visit her blog be sure to wish her a happy birthday too!

Well I best go cook dinner so I can sit & watch the Swans game

Queensland Flood Appeal

14 January, 2011 3 Comments

Stampin’ Up! have been known to be a company full of heart and with the recent horrific floods in Queensland they again show their support.

From the Stampin’ Up! Home Office ….

As flood waters continue to inundate Australia in what has been described as the worst flooding in 37 years, we express our deepest sympathies to those who have lost loved ones and homes and to those whose lives have been changed forever. We, like so many of you, feel a compelling need to lend support to all those who have been affected.

Stampin’ Up! demonstrators have a long history of making a difference in the lives of others–especially when disaster strikes and the need is greatest. Nearly two years ago, we watched another tragedy unfold in Australia. Our hearts were touched as demonstrators, customers and friends joined together in support of the Bushfire Appeal. We’ve done it before and we can certainly do it again!

Please join with us by supporting the Australia Flood Appeal–a cause in which Stampin’ Up! will donate $2 AUD of the retail value of sales from any stamp set (with a retail value of $30 or more) sold in Australia and New Zealand from 15 January through 15 February to the State Emergency Services in Queensland.

Please help me in helping them! Its so hard to comprehend what these people are feeling and the magnitude of their loss will probably not be known for weeks when the flood waters subside.

I will also donate all commission on sales of Stampin Up! products until 15th February to the Queensland Flood Relief Appeal. If you book a workshop or demonstration during this period then I will donate a further $10 for each workshop booked.

So ring or email or popover to place your order today or book in your workshop and start helping these poor people who have lost so much in such a short time.

If you would like more information on the Queensland Floods go to the 24/7 Queensland Floods Information webpage.

Haitian Disaster Relief

22 January, 2010 1 Comment

Stampin’ Up! is a company with heart and this is evident in previous times of hardship in USA with the disaster in Katrina and last year here in Australia with the horrid bush fires in Victoria and the current situation in Haiti is no different.

From now until the end of February Stampin’ Up! will donate $2.00 to the Red Cross for every sale of the ” I {heart} Hearts” stamp set.

This is a wonder set and it coordinates with the two heart punches from Stampin Up! and its a great set for all you valentines cards and projects as well.

Now if you purchase the “I {heart} Hearts” stamp set I will also give my full commission on that stamp set as well as commission on the two heart punches if you purchase them as well.  So this is a way we can both help with the Haitian situation and we all know what a good job the Red  Cross does in these situations.

So contact me today to place your order and start helping these Haitian people.

Bushfire Appeal

12 February, 2009 1 Comment

Most of you would have seen and heard about the devastation and loss of life due to the terrible bush fires in the past week in Victoria. Although I dont know anyone that has been personally affected my heart does go out to everyone who has lost friends, family, loved ones, pets and property. The stories I’ve read are just heart wrenching and I get tears every time I think about it. I think most Australians are still in shock as we all feel so much for those personally affected. I suppose this could be partially why I have felt so down/sad this week and have had very little motivation to do anything.

The Australian demonstrators put it to Stampin’ Up! to see if they could help as a whole and being the company with heart that it is they have offered assistance by donating 50% of sales on ten pre-selected stamp sets.

So from today until the 31st March when you purchase any of the following stamp sets Stampin’ Up! will donate a full 50% of the retail value to the Red Cross Victorian Bushfires 2009 Appeal.

You will notice a couple of my favourite sets in there too so expect to see a few more samples with those sets in them over the next month or so.

The items you see in that list with an asterisk (*) beside them are sets that will retire come 31st March so if you want any of these be quick as supplies of these sets are limited so they will only be available while stocks last.

You dont have to have a demonstration or workshop to order you can email or ring your order through to me at any time and I will also waive the shipping/freight costs on orders when ordering any of these stamp sets.

So you can do a little to help by ordering these stamp sets today.

Here are a few cards I’ve made using some of these stamp sets.

I know this situation has touched your heart as it has mine and do hope you will help with this very worthwhile cause.
