It's here!

The Papercraft and Scrapbooking Expo is going swimmingly! My feet have never be so sore, Ive never talked so much and Ive never had as much fun as I am having this weekend!!! I have even gone from a lone demonstrator to having a small team join up as my downlines, who'd of thought :) And Im very excited to see where it takes us :)
It was crazy busy on opening day (Sat) the majority of the day, the stall was 5 people deep trying to get a look at our displays :) We have done hundreds of make and takes and dozens of demos. Today we spent the day showing people how the BIGSHOT cuts through multiple pieces of cardstock, chipboard, fabric and even thin metal! And it embosses all of those as well! Amazing huh? Well I tell ya I had so much fun and Im sure this will feature in my next monthly class :)
If you are interested in coming my monthly class, or you would like a class held at your house for a small group of crafters please feel free to email or call on 0406 092 731.

Here are a few photos...

CUPCAKE STAND!

..its been too long...you forgive me?

This is one of my very favourite cards, and Ive seen a lot of different samples of this floating around. You could pretty much modify it to whatever 'stall' you like! Ive seen a hotdog stand, cake stall, baby boutique, flower shop..let your creative juices flow!
I will note however this is not going to be a card that you can post :)
Here are the deets..

Stamps: Party Hearty #115848, Crazy for Cupcakes #115780
Colours: Melon Mambo, Pretty in Pink, Orchid Opulance (retired)
Accessories: Word Window punch, scallop edge punch, paper piercer, paper snips, dimentionals, twine, Bigshot and the die, lots of tags#114508, for the inside sentiment.
(the ribbon is from a dollar store but you could replace it with Stampin Up!'s striped gross grain, in either pretty in pink#119775 or rich razzleberry#119774)

Loving a layout

Have you ever found a layout you just love and so you continue to use it over and over again? It's one od my favorite things when I like a layout and try and make a 'collection' of cards using the same layout but choosing different stamps or colours! So i thought I would share these couple of 'collection' that I made a while ago using a new hero arts set i ordered and an old favourite from stampin up!








Lookie what I did today!

My kids were visiting their dad today and I was lucky enough to have my sister in law (recently converted and addicted) come over for a stamping day! It was so lovely to have someone there to stamp with, as I usually am doing my stamping in the dead of night, alone :) So this was a much welcomed change and I honestly cannot wait to have another stamp day soon!
So here is what I got up to. Im gradually getting into making some xmas cards and my creative juices were overflowing today!

I saw this design by Danielle Daws and thought it was great-

And here is my take on the card..

Stamps: Contempo Christmas, Baroque Motifs
Colours: Whisper White, Old Olive, Real Red
Acc: Ribbon, rhinestones, buttons, hemp twine, glue dots


I have also been dying to try out this pattern which I found on splitcoast HERE. It was really fun to make and Ive already started on another one (although it should be, its not a christmas one!)






Stamps: Delightful Decorations
Colours: Marina Mist, Old Olive, Very Vanilla, Cherry Cobbler
Acc: Papper Cutter, Christmas Cheer Simply Scrappin Kit, Dimensionals,SNAIL, ribbon, versamark


And finally "On A Pedestal" is one of my new favourite sets! I found this card (not sure from where sorry!- but cudos to whomever designed it) and I thought I'd give it a go...actually looking at them together they are quite different, but thank you anyway for the inspiration. :)

Here is the original-


And mine-
Stamps: On a Pedestal, Birthday Bash
Colours: Whipser White, Crumb Cake, Old Olive, Rich Razzleberry, Tempting Turquoise, Easrly Esspresso
Acc: Scallop edge punch, ribon, button, hemp twine, stamp-a-majig, versamark


Happy Stampin!
