Sale-a-bration ends Today!

Today is the last day of Sale-a-bration and the choices this year have been exceptional.   This post is picture heavy.  As a tribute to this year’s special 25th anniversary,  I am posting a few new cards using these sets. I’d love to know which is, or was your favourite this year.  The sale-a-bration stamp […]

Guest Designer

Last night was a monthly meeting for the Inkin’ Divas, and the lovely Petra Sameri who joined our Stampin’ Up! family on 30 January brought these lovely easter treats which she made for a craft fair.  I love how she’s co-ordinated the sweeties with her treat toppers and the basket she made is adorable! Petra […]

Mini Milk Bottles!

At Amanda’s Inspiring Inkin’ monthly meeting, she had brought some brads which she kept in a mini milk bottle crate – well, when I saw it, I just had to have one too!  Online shopping is lethal!  Once something pops into your head you can source and find it anywhere – hehe! Little things amuse […]

The Twitterpated DSP was introduced in our last Summer Mini 2012.   This is a mini photo frame (thanks Jenny – I purchased a […]

Twitterpated!

I almost gave myself a coronary when my Hostess mentioned doing something with fabric!  I’m no seamstress and thank goodness for my Stampin’ Up! sisters – they came up with suggestions with what I could do without too much technical difficulty!  I cut these flowers using the Bigz XL Flowers Fold die (AC193)  – stacked […]

HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY

HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY!! It’s Mothering Sunday in UK,  and I hope you Mums out there are being pampered as befits the occasion! My Mum resides in Australia and the Aussie Mother’s Day is much later in the year.    I always tend to forget – so if you’re reading this on the Facebook feed Mum, […]
