World Card Making Day 2016

Hello Stampers

World Card Making Day is coming up on the 1st October this year and as we have a Public Holiday here in Queensland on the Monday 3rd October I have decided to celebrate this very special occasion this year on the Monday 3rd October :) 

We will be working on our Christmas Card collection for this year as well as playing with a lot of the new goodies in the latest Holiday Catalogue.

Email me here if you wish to know more about the day and the location where it will be held.  I guarantee it will be a lot of fun!!

PROJECT LIFE ALBUM 

Still working on my Europe Trip Album and the next 3 pages completed are 13, 14 and 15...

Just so easy slotting the photos and the journalling into the pockets and they are protected from the outside air as well.  The flowers I used for embellishing were ones that were left over from another card project so I use all by extra bits here in my Albums.  Nothing is wasted :) 

Happy stamping

Coffee, Cake and Card Morning

Hello Stampers

I had my first Coffee, Cake and Card Morning (which I call my CCC Event) recently and it was a great success :) :) 

It was an introductory to cardmaking morning and so a very easy card to start with.  I will change it up more as we go along for future events.  I designed a flower themed birthday card and some of the ladies changed theirs later to suit the occasion they had in mind.  I used the Swirly Bird Stamp Set and supplied one of the framelit shapes in their pack to add to their card for a dimensional look.  As the event is held in my local Coffee Shop - Myrtle's Pantry - here on the Sunshine Coast it is difficult to have the participants use any tools like a Big Shot or even a heat gun so I did all that type of preparation beforehand..
So here is my basic card on the left and another showing a bit more complexity....

I also showed that just by adding a little "Wink of Stella" Glitter it adds that bit of extra bling...

One of my lovely class ladies, Dawn, had an 18th Birthday coming up so she adjusted hers to suit that occasion.  Here is Dawn's beautiful card.....

So really looking forward to our next CCC in September and trying to make it a monthly event.  This next one will be a Christmas Theme to get them all started on their Christmas creations for this year :) :) :) 

Happy stamping everyone

September...an exciting Month!!

Hello Stampers

Well here it is already - the first of September.  An exciting time for a number of reasons:-

• The first day of Spring here in the South Pacific
• The start of our fun, fun, fun Holiday Catalogue
• Time for a new Competition too I think :) 
• The month that I start doing my Christmas Card making.
• Also  some new Special Offers happening over the next few weeks.  Make sure you check my website page here every Thursday to see what is on offer, commencing tomorrow.

By now a lot of you have, maybe, had a peek at the new Holiday Catalogue and, great news, you can start ordering from this Catty tomorrow!!!  Yay!!  I hear you all say :) :) 

So to launch in the new Holiday Catalogue I thought a Competition for the month of September would be a fun thing :)

Now to the Competition here are the rules for entry...

If you don't your name does not go in the draw for a prize.   You also have automatic membership to my Sunnie Coast Stampers Club with this entry and if you order online you will also receive an additional little gift from me.

Also I have been continuing with my Europe Trip Album and here are pages 10, 11 and 12....

Most of the towns that the ship stopped at had maps of important things to see and do during our tours so I have used these maps as background designer papers for interest.  Also added a little stamping on this last page and also use a lot of my little stamped out/punched left over images from other projects on these pages.

Happy browsing through the new Holiday Catalogue :) :)
