Hi Creators, Well it's all over red rover for another year!  but I thought I'd share a few of my photos with you.  I was blessed to have Rosalie (with me for the whole show) then Renee on Friday, Cindy on Saturday and Rose on Sunday.  Thank you to all of you I certainly couldn't do the show without you! Also thank you to all of you who came and said Hi, entered our door prize, (which was won by Christine from Heathcote), and joined us for classes and chats.  I always find it so special getting to connect with so many different people with interesting stories and ideas. Here we go with the photos.....  Rosalie, Renee and I set up on the Wednesday (Yes, it went for 4 days this year Thursday to Sunday, and looks like they're going for the same again next year!)   So here is the stand looking relatively pristine before the crowds lol then with some of the crowds...... And one of my classes, (I did ask the ladies if they minded being on my blog, and they were

Hi there Creators, Well officially we'll be into the new Annual Catalogue, so I can finally start using some of my new goodies! lol, so guess what?.... Card 1: New colours and new stamp set (what a combination!!) this set is called Daisy Lane, although I keep thinking Penny Lane (umm Beetles keep coming back lol), so I'm introducing the new colours Terracotta Tile, Seaside Spray and Pretty Peacock in this card (nice aren't they?)  and yes I spy a new ribbon too (eek so exciting)  Conveniently enough this stamp set happens to coordinate with a punch I already have (yay), the Daisy Punch, but wait there's another punch coming for the smaller daisy too (can't wait to get that one too!)  Have to admit this next set wasn't my favourite... till I started playing around with the dies, Ohhh, I'll just leave my comment at that! lol  the stamp set is called "It starts with Art" and the dies are called Arts and Crafts dies Oh and it comes as a bundle y

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! Card #3 again I wanted to showcase this Best Route Designe

Stampin' Up have a 3 Tier's of Stampers system currently, Beginner Stamper, Casual Crafter and Avid Stamper (no prizes for guessing which category I'm in lol).   However I thought yesterday I'd try out a series of 3 cards 1 for each category using exactly the same stamp set and accessories. So for the beginner Stamper, it's kept as basic as possible #simplestamping I've picked 3 colours, a pair of Paper Snips (scissors) my Daisy Lane stamp set and an embellishment (Oh and a dimensional) The colours I chose are Berry Burst, Tranquil Tide and Powder Pink, which sadly we're saying goodbye to as they are the In Colours that are retiring with this current catalogue :(  I've stamped the stem first, then added the large flower and saying, the small flower is stamped on spare Vanilla card, and cut out with the paper snips, and then it covers the gap betw
