CreateAbles Team Morning

Hi everyone,
We had our CreateAbles team morning this morning, which was fun. As there was only 3 ladies they all ended up with a raffle prize :)

Val taught us how to make this really cute little
Handbag/box, thanks so much Val, I'll have to have
a go at it! (we all took notes!)





























I showed a spot of "how to use Project Life's Photo organising system", as I said to the ladies, I really don't get on well with Scrapbooking, as I find it uses more time than I have available, to do 3 photos, and nobody really admires it to the full extent of the amount of work I've put into it (if you get my drift!), so this I can do quickly/easily and at the very least my kids admire it! I plan to finish off this one and create one for my parents (as I'm terrible at remembering to send them photos) and once I've got one sorted the 2nd will be a synch!
So here's a couple of my pages, Josh's 11th Birthday (son #2) and Sam (#3) peeling carrots, shows you how easy it is to take your 4x6 photo and cut it in 1/2 or in 6th's to fit into the pockets😊

 Lastly we created our Make'n'Takes, I'd seen a really cute card using the chickens and a chicken wire stamp, however lacking the chicken wire stamp, I worked out a different way using the Hexagons Dynamic Embossing folder . And me being me, actually the card ended up completely different! it was fun to do a bit of watercolouring.

When my phone decides it has enough charge to video again, I'll aim to do a video for the chicken card, so you can see how's it's created.
If you'd like to be part of my team, and have the opportunity to come to my Team meetings and do this "in the flesh" just ask me about it, or check out the tab above, about joining my team.  Sale-a-Bration goes till end of March and during this time when you join you get 2 extra free stamp sets on top of the already amazing joining deal!  Trust me 20% off your goodies, is sooo worth it - lol!

Anyway I hope this has inspired you to create,
God Bless love

Stampin' Up! Sneak Peek of 2017 Occasions Catalogue

Hi Everyone,
To continue the sneaky peeky bits...  Jenny Stewart (one of my downline) came round today and successfully made 3! cards whilst I did a heap of prepping work for my 8 Christmas cards class tomorrow, and finally had the opportunity to create 1 card! - well 1 is better than none, and Jenny did say I could share her cards with you all😊

 So, I thought I'd share Jenny's cards first, I'm going to get to play with this balloon at some point!
She has used the Up & Away Thinlit dies for this card and the matching Lift Me Up stamp set (no links at the mo, as it's not available till January 4th, unless you are a demonstrator)  however feel free to join my team, this is just ONE of the many perks of being a "demo"!

 

This next card (I might add Jenny likes Purple!)  She's used  the Blooms and Bliss Designer Series Paper (this one is current, in the annual catalogue, hence the link!)  She's also used The Balloon Pop- Up Thinlit dies, and matching stamp set Balloon Adventures.
This die is fabulous, it is also designed to go inside a card and be a pop out feature (I'll do a separate post on that soon), but doesn't it look great on the front of a card like this?

And last but not least again using the Balloon Adventures Stamp set and Balloon Pop-Up Thinlits.  this time also incorporating one of the new pretty Falling in Love embellishments



Do leave me notes so I can give feedback to Jenny, and I hope that this has inspired you to create!

God Bless love
