-{Summer Mini Blog Hop ILWS}-

Hi there, welcome to my blog, you may have got here via Amanda's Gorgeous Blog.

I've taken part in a Blog Hop, organised on the fab forum In Love With Stamping.  If you would like to start at the beginning of the hop click {here} to go to Alison's blog.

All the blog's on this hop should be featuring the lovely new goodies in the Summer Mini catalogue.  (Please contact me if you would like a copy).

As a demonstrator we can get our hands on the new products a full month before anyone else, here is what I have made with the beautiful Attic Boutique Designer Series Papers.  Do you also see the pleated Ribbon? That's a new addition too!

I made a card holder inspired by the one Heather made {here}.  I changed the dimensions so it would hold C6 size envelopes.

Here it is opened up.

Here are the four cards that fit inside.

Do you spy something new below? It's Baker's Twine, I am so pleased Stampin Up have decided to stock this, it is so trendy at the moment and so pretty on cards.  It comes in all the 2011-2013 In Colours, and a White.  It's also at a bargain price of £2.50 for 22.9 metres.

Thank you for visiting today, click {here} to hop to Jan's blog.

Finally got round to tidying my craft table the other week, and couldn't bear to throw away the little punched bits and bobs that seem to accumulate.  So tried to use them up without adding too many other extras.

You are Loved, and much more...

I just wanted to show you the versatility of one of the beautiful sets in the mini catalogue.

Although it has a "love" theme, it is very versatile, and can be used for other occasions.

Here is a birthday card using squares cut from the heart motif.

Remember if you spend over £45 you can choose one FREE gift from the Saleabration catalogue, to see it click >here<

Lots to catch up on!

Hi everyone, Happy New Year!

Sorry I have been so quiet in blog land, it's been a pretty hectic few weeks.  Leading up to Christmas there was all the concerts and Christmas events with the children to attend and organise, and crafts to make for stalls that I had.

However, there's lots of exciting news in Stampin' Up! land.  The new mini catalogue is released tomorrow!  If you would like to get your hands on a paper copy, please contact me.  Tomorrow I will put up the link for you to see it on line.  Also, in three weeks we enter the Saleabration period!  There are some beautiful products up for grabs for FREE when you spend £45 on anything in the current Ideabook and Catalogue AND the new mini catalogue.

Here is a card using some of the new products coming out soon.

See the blue roses?  I made them using my scallop circle punch!  And are you sometimes glad of the little accidents that can happen while crafting? By accident I got glue on one of the roses, so I dabbed a few more spots and threw glitter on them!

Peg gift idea...

Here are some humble wooden pegs glammed up with some Chearful Treat Designer Series Paper.  This pack of papers are in the exclusive hostess section of the new catalogue, which you can earn for FREE when you hold a workshop in your home, book one with me now :)
