Yep it's nearly May, Hi there Creators! I will be offering the same 4 cards at all of my classes this month, Class dates are Wednesday 1st at 10.30am in Laanecoorie, Thursday 2nd at 10.30am and 7.30pm in Laanecoorie, and Saturday 4th at 10am in Maryborough , so let's get into it..... Card #1 I finally succumbed to This Little Piggy Stamp set (and I can say it is going into the next annual catalogue) yay!  don't know if you can see the background, however I did you a close up just in case :) although I'm not sure it shows it any better lol  the secret is it uses the Timeless Textures Stamp set (sadly retiring) heat embossed with clear or white embossing powder . Moving onto card #2, I thought it would be nice to showcase this Designer Series Paper before it's gone, It's the Needlepoint Nook Designer Series Paper, I didn't like it much to begin with, but have to admit it has grown on me!

Hi Creators, Well I'm fresh back from Auckland, New Zealand and the Stampin' Up! OnStage Event, OnStage is the name Stampin' Up! currently give their Conventions, this one was a 3 day event. Thought I'd share some of my happy snaps with you all. (there's a lot more than this lol) Here I am with my roomie Annette, for those of you who don't know me personally I'm the one in the green on the left.   this was the evening before it all started, we thought it best to go and check out where everything was!  and in the process did get a sneaky peeky of new stuff, do you spy anything? this was where we collected our goodie bags from the next day, and then saw lots of people wandering round Auckland with these bags over the next 3 days (and at the airport lol) Obviously I am "on trend" as this is one of my favourite colours! So our days were divided into 3 sections once we got going, mornings we were in a big auditorium  where we watched...
