-{Shoes shoes and more shoes}-

Got a shoe template from {this} blog, and had a glorious time playing with it.

I've used an empty Stampin Up glitter pot as the heel of the more modern looking shoes.  Been thinking this would be a lovely way to dress up a lip balm gift.  Or to house a small gift.  And what about a wedding or party favour for a shoe mad girl?

-{Earn more stash!}-

From now to the 30th May, Stampin' Up! are offering incentives for hostesses and new demonstrators.

If you hold a party and the spend is over £250 you get to earn an extra £25 in product, that's a total of £65!

Do you love Stampin' Up! so much that you would like more stash for your cash, or turn your hobby into a job and become a demonstrator for only £99.  Normally you would get to choose £130 of products, but from now to the 30th May choose and extra £25.  So for £99 get £165 of lush crafty stuff and get further discounts on future purchases.  You'll also get to see sneak previews of all new products coming out.

-{Dress and bow tutorial}-

I've come over all girly!

Had a play with various punches to create this dress and bow.  I've done a quick youTube video to show you how it's done, please have a look.  Let me know if you create anything, I would love to see what you make.

-{Colour my stampin'}-

There have been a couple of announcements on a colour theme from Stampin' Up! that I'd like to update you on.

In the next couple of months there will be a new catalogue and renovation of some of the colours.  The colour "families" are staying the same but we are loosing a few and gaining a few to replace them.

This is quite exciting, just as in other areas where things go out of fashion, like clothes and interior design, the same is for paper crafts.  It's great to have a company like Stampin' Up! who move with the times and aware of changing tastes.

So without further ado here are the changes, and please order any colours you can't bear to be without whether it's the inkpad, refill, pen or cardstock.

The other announcement regarding colour is that the water colour pencils and crayons will be discontinued, so if you would like a set please contact me asap as when they've sold out there will be no more.

You saw this baby first in the Sale-a-bration catalogue, Stampin' Up! have announced that they will continue to make it available for £11.50 and that it will be in the next catalogue.  It matches some of the stamp sets in the current spring/summer catalogue.
