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!

Pink Baby

I was commissioned to make a baby girl card, my friend had seen the sample card on page 42 of the current Idea Book and Catalogue,  here is what I came up with...

Pegs again!

I've been busy in my craft room making packets of pegs to sell at upcoming Christmas craft events.  These cute pegs are also proving a hit in workshops.

On Saturday I'll be having a peg making extravaganza at my house.  You have 1 hour from the moment you arrive to decorate as many as you can for only £5!  Arrive any time between 10am and 11.30am.

For the men...

Had a play with the stamp set Need for Speed and the Well Worn papers.

The Decorative Label Punch is so versatile for creating small shapes as well as the standard one it punches.  To do this, use some tape runner to stick a long piece of scrap  paper to your first punch out, then position and then punch.
