Making Swaps

Hi all
I am really looking forward to the Stampin' Up regional event this coming weekend. It's a lovely opportunity to meet other demonstrators, get loads of inspiration and, of course, sharing swaps. Today, I will be flat out making my swaps; I think they're gorgeous, although they are a lot of work and I guess I was perhaps a bit too ambitious! I'll post a picture as soon as I havefinished them all.

That's all for now, I have a very busy day ahead - crafting, yay!

New Stampers 10 Virtual Workshop

Hi all
Do you like papercrafting and stamping? Do you want to learn about stamping?

I am so happy to announce that I still have a few places left on my Stampers 10 Technique virtual workshop due to begin in July 2013 yay! If you are interested please email me at lindenrosam@me.com and I will let you have full details so that you can make up your mind.

How does it work, you ask?
Well, basically, you will need to commit to spending £15 a month for 10 months on items from the Stampin' Up catalogue, through me - although you can spend more if you wish.

When you join I will provide you with a copy of the current catalogue at the time, which is most likely to be the new catalogue, we're all so excited about it! I will also provide you with any additional catalogues that come out during your 10 months.

You can browse the catalogue and email me with you order for item(s) of £15 or more, plus payment.   I will let you know the cost of postage.  Each month one of you will be a virtual hostess and be entitled to additional items - I will draw up a hostess rota.

I will post your purchased items to you together with...
* everything you need to make the Technique card of the month, including instructions
* supplies to make a challenge card of the month - the best will get a prize
* supplies to make another card of your choice

You will be able to build up an envelope book of stamping techniques over the 10 months and I think you will really enjoy it.

I will have a section of the blog for us all to communicate and I will upload your cards, as well as mine, if you send me pictures.  I am an experienced crafter, but am very new to blogging, so please  bear with me on this.

Email me if you have any questions lindenrosam@me.com

Thanks and I look forward to you joining me on this techniques virtual workshop, and on my blogging journey!

Hi
This is my very first blog post, I've just spent ages trying to set it all up so I hope you like it.  Wow! isn't it exciting - I'm a blogger yay!  I will try and keep it regularly updated but I still have a lot to learn so you'll have to be patient and I'll get there!!

Even more excitement - I am now, officially, a Stampin Up demonstrator - yippee!  I just love their products and having tried all sorts of other stuff I just keep coming back to Stampin Up.  For starters, the colours are fab and they all work together, it's so simple.  But also, because they have fab stamps, and I love stamping.  I am so looking forward to working with lots of lovely people, not least of whom is my fab upline - Irene Randall.

Oh wow it gets better and better!  In the middle of typing this post my parcel has arrived.  I just had to open it to look and feel all the lovely goodies I ordered, yummy!  I just love the stamp and die sets so ordered All Dressed Up and I also loved the Hearts a Flutter set and had to have those too.  I got some stamp pads, cardstock and designer paper from the Subtles collection because I thought the colours would be great with the stamps I've ordered.  For embellishments I ordered a pack of the gorgeous Basic Pearl Jewels and a roll of Victoria Crotchet trim - that's really yummy and I can just see it wrapped around the dress form.  I also fancied the Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder for great backgrounds.  On top of all that I ordered the lovely wheel builder called Viola's Lace, that'll be great with my stamps - I love the wheels and already have quite a few that I collected as a customer.

Looks as though I will have a lovely weekend playing with all my new goodies and hopefully I shall be able to get some samples posted here by the end of it all.  Watch this space!

Thanks for looking.
