Hi Everyone, This is my latest card and bag I do hope you like them. I have used the lovely new designer papers from the Mini Catalogue I have also used the new scallop oval punch and the brads from our Pretties Kit. I ordered most of the new stamps, so over the next few weeks I shall up load cards made with all the new products, they are so amazing and I just could not wait to get my hands on them. Last week I was busy making cards to swaps with other demonstrators using some of the stamps from the new Mini I will post these soon.

Stampin Up is holding Regional workshops for Demonstrators in the next week or so I have agreed to swap cards with the girls who attend. I am really looking forward to this workshop as we get the chance to meet up and learn lots more ideas and tips to pass on to everyone.

Hope you all have a happy crafting week. Bye for now Sandra

I made this card yesterday it is made with card stock from a company called Papertrey Ink I just love their stamps and papers this card is from the Raspberry Fizz Collection. Two of the lovely ladies Kate and Steph from ILWS have started a blog for UK and the rest of Europe Papertrey addicts . I did this card for their Blog I hope they like it.


This is the Valentine card I made for my wonderful husband. We spent the week-end in London and went to see Oliver it was just great the children did a grand job and Nancy was a real hit with everyone.


This is another view. Hope you like it.


Another view of my Scrap Book.
This is a view of my house when we had the snow a few weeks ago. The snow lasted nearly two weeks here and I couldn't get out for a few days. It did look lovely but after a few days it just becomes a nuisance.

I made this Scrap Book with the I Wish Kit from Stampin Up I really enjoyed doing this I have posted another couple of views of this in the post above. If anyone is interested in doing one of these I am willing to sell it as a kit with full instructions for you to do at home or I can arrange a workshop, it take about three hours to complete. Contact me via my Blog.


I had a workshop recently and we made this back pack and the flower pot card I posted earlier. We all had great fun doing these.


This card was really easy to create with the Lovely as a Tree stamp set from Stampin Up I love this set you can do so much with it. I brayered the pink on to white glossy card stock first then I used encore gold refill and finished by dabbing all over with rubbing alcohol which created the veined effect. I then layered it on to pink and black card stock and stamped the Christmas message with a stamp set from Stampin Up.


This was another swap I did on ILWS it was real fun to do. I used the sizzix dies for the flowers and Stampin Up Textured card stock for the flower pot and some red checked ribbon. I also used the Yummy stamp set that was on special in February.
This is a little 3x3 love note swap I did on ILWS. I used the Snow Burst Stamp Set by Stampin UP.


This is the Christmas Card I sent to all my Family and Friends I made 60 cards ( so lots of Family and Friends) sorry if you did'nt get one.
My new year resolution is to keep my blog up to date.


So this is my upside down Christmas Tree to start with
