My sisters, my mum and I (all 9 of us!) are getting together in July to make all our Christmas cards as well as some gift boxes and an advent calender so that we can be prepared this year before Christmas is over.  It’s my job (because I own all the supplies) to come up […]


Well I was too lazy to look for clips etc for my new display board and I’m glad I was because I found that most of my cards are sideways and slipped in perfectly using the ribbon.  I guess I’ll have to find some clips when I make cards that stand up lengthways, or maybe […]


Celebrate You

21May09

At a recent workshop I decided to go out of my comfort zone and trial some colours that I don’t usually put together.  This is the birthday card I demonstrated and I also made a little matching gift box that I gave away to my little helper. I have used Pumpkin Pie, Riding Hood Red […]

Challenge Card

20May09

Well I have finally decided to play along with a couple of the challenges that are bouncing around cyberspace.  And to make it easier on myself I have combined them into 1 card.  The two challenges are – an inspiration colour challenge from Kristina Werner and these are the colours and a sketch challenge from Mojo Monday […]


I was very pleased this year with my Mother’s Day gift from my husband and children.  I did have to hint a lot (I eventually had to tell him straight up to go and get it) but he did get it and I love it.  He got me a Cuttlebug.  I love the way it […]


At our recent team meeting, after we got to make our cute cupcake card, we then had a card swap.  We each brought a card along with us and added it to the bundle then, without looking, we each chose a different card. This is the card that I chose.  I love it.  I don’t […]


Part of a Team

18May09

One of my favourite things about being a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator is that I am part of a team.  Not only do I have wonderful help from the lovely Steph (who got me hooked) but the rest of her team are fantastic too.  I finally made it to my first team meeting and had a […]


Have you ever looked through the Stampin’ Up! idea book & catalogue and wanted it all?  Well I have many times and at the moment I’d love to get all of the double sided Designer Series Papers.  I can’t afford to buy all of them by myself as it would cost nearly $400 but I […]


For this card I have copied the layout from one that I saw on SplitcoastStampers.  I’ve changed a few things as I didn’t have any designer series paper.   All the patterned cardstock on this card has been made with coordinating colours and using images from the stamp sets Always and Cheep Talk. I really […]
