When doors open, you have to shut the one behind you

Shaz, Joanne and Me - seems ages ago now!! at convention awards night dinner :)

Thats a fact of life, you cant leave them all open. Sadly today I had to shut a door in order for me to move forward to the next door. I have been job hunting for a while, we just dont seem to have enough coming in to cover what goes out, I am sure many of you can relate to that. Of course my first ports of call for asking were places where I currently freelanced. I am pleased to say I have been offered a Saturday job at Crafts U Love, each Saturday. This meaning I cant demo/teach elsewhere as I always do these on a Saturday too, but it also means regular money as opposed to maybe 2 Saturdays a month.



I am thrilled to be joining Paula, Geoff and the team, they are a lovely bunch, great store and its always a different job each Saturday!



As always I am sure I will see many of you about as I cant resist a craft shop and I will still be visiting elsewhere! you cant keep a crafter out can ya?



Not sure where that will leave me classes wise? Maybe that has had its day? who knows.... its exciting to see what happens next.



I will still very much be Stampin Up! ing all the way..... I love that too much to give that up.



You know, my mojo has gone, since coming back from convention I havent crafted one bit... not sure why.... I hope it comes back soon. I think its coz I have soo much else going in my head.



Speak later

Hello

Hi there

Back from convention and jsut getting into the swing of things. I have lots to tell you, about convention, SU offers and other stuff.

In a very small nutshell there are two offers right now, one is a offer in which when you order you can get a free punch, the leaflet is below. and the other offer is for joining SU at a reduced and FAB rate. Once I have posted the details about convention you will want to come along too! and the only way you can come is if you are a demo ;)

Things are busy at the moment. As well as all the usual I am now taking a "helping in schools" course. From this I will get a nvq2 equivalant certificate. So I have one day doing the course and then one whole morning doing my coursework. Then I do library in year 1 on Wednesdays. In effect I am loosing 3 mornings and have next to no time to make cards right now :( shortly I need to add an additional 2 hours at school each week as part of the school too.

Click on images below to view or visit http://www.stampinup.co.uk/ for more info. Email me or call me

When you join you will get over £240 of products for just £125! some of the kit is customisable

so you can choose your own rubber stamps, ink pads, wheel and more...

Lastly, for now, here is why you should join SU, this is something I wrote myself and reasons I believe you should join.

Book a party NOW many dates available.

Will be back later with pictures of the dozens of cards I swapped at convention and other convention news!!

A Sparkly Kit!

Even more

From the Sparkly Set :) I had this idea in bed last night and almost got up to do it!! LOL
I have used the tree in different greens and stacked it up to make a tall tree with a paper pieced pot.


And this one was an idea I had when I saw the santa and reindeer stamps on the table, I made the sleigh from the scalloped square punch and oval punch for the sleigh runners.






Hope you like?

3 little cards

More with the Sparkly and Fun set :) anyone interested in this set I am working on getting a fun pack together with papers and ribbons and the stamp set so you can all have a go at making some cute cards.

Like a bus

Two along in one space of time... usually in minutes with buses, but two posts in the same day!

Been playing after school today with the lovely Sparkly and Bright set to make a cute card and a candle holder. It actually just sits over a battery tealight.

I have used : Sparkly and Bright set, scallop circle and the 1 3/8 circle punches. The fantastic mat pack and pokey tool (honestly how did I do without the mat pack! - look at my perfectly straight and spaced paper pricking)

To colour the images I have used the Stampin Markers, as I was swapping colours and taking time to stamp the images I "huffed" on the stamps to remoisten the ink before stamping.

On this candle holder I used the Vellum cardstock and white ink for one of the windows, the others I used with the pens. I lovely paper is called Merry Moments.

Thanks for popping back again.

Butterfly Fun

One of the thing, well two actually, of the things I was very excited about getting from the new catalogue was the Flight of the Butterfly set and the butterfly punch! WOW Love these



Here I have teamed up with Autumn Days to create a meadow of grasses and flowers.

This card was a quick and funky colour combo and also shows off the fab eyelet punch.

These were both very quick creations as I havent had much time of late and with Convention looming and all the swaps I need I will have even less.
