Santa is Retiring …

Oh if only my kids would believe that!!

How typical is it that I buy one new stamp set for my Christmas in July Stamp A Stacks and its the one that gets retired?? Murphy’s Law at its best!

Here is a card that was one of the four the ladies made recently at our Christmas Stamp A Stack.

This is a very cute and quick card to do!

Recipe
Stamps: Holiday Hoopla, Contempo Christmas
Inks: Old Olive, Real Red, Jet Black Stazon
Papers: Whisper White, Real Red, Old Olive, Celebrations DSP
Accessories: Clear Blocks, Scallop Border Punch, Two way glue pen, dazzling diamonds

I just loved making this card as did the ladies who attended!

Using the clear mounted stamps makes it super easy to do your two-step stamping too!  The santa is actually three stamps!

If you’d like to grab this set then be quick as its sure to go quickly as its on the Retirement List and bound to be a popular one!

I would also like to thank all those who commented and sent me messages after yesterday’s post about my mum. They are all very much appreciated and I covet your prayers.  You dont realise just how much affect one person has on your life or on other’s lives. Mum was a school teacher and as kids we always went to the school she taught at. While at school this was such a drag as you werent you but you were Mrs Groenenboom’s daughter and this meant being picked on at times but now we are all grown up so many have said what a positive impact she was in their lives and she was! So again, I thank you all for the beautiful messages and continued support xx

Welcome Christmas

Last Sunday I had my last Stamp A Stack with Libby’s group of lovely ladies.  Libby recently joined my team so next year she’ll be running her own!

The ladies were after Christmas cards so I was happy to oblige. I love Christmas :)   I had decided on a couple of cards I’d already done with several groups and wanted to give them a new card as well so I decided on Welcome Christmas as I’d got it with the Dress Up Christmas promotion last month and hadnt used it yet.

Here is what we made …

Accessories: Big Shot, Petals a Plenty Textured Impressions Folder, Cherry Cobbler Stampin Write Marker, Old Olive Stampin’ Write marker, Paper Snips, Real Red Grosgrain Striped ribbon 1 1/4″, Stampin Dimensionals, Stampin Sponges.

I love this card as it is just so simple to do and has the added effect of the Petals a Plenty Textured Impressions Folder.

Top Note Medallions

Being a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator has brought many wonderful people into my life and some of these just happen to be other demonstrators.  I run an online forum for demonstrators from Australia and New Zealand called ESAD (Extra Special Australasian Demonstrators)  and through this group I’ve met lots of wonderful ladies and also as we share our creations online with those demonstrators we find ourselves inpired and motivated by others.

One such card that inspired these cards today was created by Julia Leece – a demonstrator from New Zealand.

Here is my card in the lovely purple tones of Elegant Eggplant and Pale Plum

I love these colours together and will be so sad to see Pale Plum retire next week – its been one of my favourites over the four years I’ve been a Demonstrator.

I loved this card so much that I decided to make a few in different colours ….

The other colour combinations I’ve used here are Baja Breeze/Basic Black and Pretty in Pink/Chocolate Chip – these make a lovely Stamp A Stack card and the girls enjoyed making them here the other week. This is another versatile card that would suite any occasion just by changing the sentiment.

Now dont forget there is just one week left to order anything from the current 2009-2010 Idea Book & Catalogue and the Autumn-Winter Mini Catalogue as these books both finish on 31st August.

Now as a special offer to my lovely and loyal customers from now until 31st August anyone placing an order of $100 or more I will pay the shipping and handling!  So this gives you a little more spending money right? Dont forget to check out the Last Chance List and the Availability List here.

So go grab a cuppa and have a good look through both catalogues and get your orders to me – you can email me or ring me.
