What's Happening in November (Stampin' Up! - wise)

Image
  This is a "What's happening" for November in an effort to Un-inundate you with emails🤣 You should be able to refer to this page when you want to know what's happening in the month, I'll still be sharing any extra last minute surprises that Stampin' Up! add to the calendar, but I hope this will work. I'll do a separate one for my classes! What's On with Stampin' Up! this month...... (click "read more" to read more!) 📬 Would you like a copy of the new January–April catalogue? Now is the perfect time to let me know! I'll be placing my catalogue order with Stampin' Up! on 27th November , with catalogues expected to arrive around mid to late December. 💌 A little thank you to my customers! If you've placed an order through my online shop in the past 6 months, I'll make sure you receive a catalogue free of charge. Haven't ordered recently? Place an order before 27th November and I'll include a catalogue for you too!...

Gears & Stripes - Chain Card Swap C

Image
  Hi there Creators, Just in case you're new to this Chain Swap (and have missed the other hops I've done)  I joined in from April to August in something called a "Chain Swap".   The best way I can describe it is Chinese Whispers for cards.  We took turns starting the chain off with our card, whoever starts it sends it to the next person on the list who CASE's it (Copy And Selectively Edit), they then send their card onto the next person and so it continues.  I'm fascinated to see how the beginning and end results turn out, each of these blog posts have links on them to the next person in the chain, so let me know what you think, and make sure you check out the whole round! I'm not going to spoil the surprise by putting anyone else's cards in (partly because I'd have to search through my classroom - or craft room to find them!)🤦‍♀️ If you have come from the previous blogs you'll have seen the progression so far!

For the rest of this month there is a joining special happening, so potentially you could join in the next team retreat.  Check out the joining deal here: Join My Team .   I would love to have you in my team The CreateAbles.
