Stampin' Up! UK presents Life's Adventures as a gift to party hosts!!!

Stampin' Up! UK Life's Adventure Hostess Set

 Recently one of my team moved house and so I used some of our wonderful new products to make her a card to wish her luck in her new home.  Work of Art is a very decorative stamp set in the new annual Stampin' Up! UK catalogue and I used it here with marina mist, pool party and wild wasabi  to create a fun background for my Life's Adventure hostess set house which I stamped with the new memento ink pad in tuxedo black and some of my new blend ability pens in old olive, coastal cabana and cherry cobbler.  I carefully cut out the house and raised it with stampin' dimensionals and then added a sentiment from an old retired set that I can't quite yet part with called Sincere Salutations.  

Now the new annual catalogue has many of us hooked and many of us with growing wish lists each time we browse through the pages, but I have to say I think my lovely teamie and friend Ros has it sorted. She recently took her catty on holiday to drool over on the plane whilst drinking champagne.
I love her style and think it's one I should adopt!                        

Still dragging your heels hoping to not have a wish list.............. give up because you know you want to get your own copy. Email to get your hands on one or look in my Stampin' Up! UK online shop where you can shop 24/7.

Back soon.

Christmas Card Club

Christmas Card Club

Hi lovely visitors to my blog.  I hope you haven't given up on me. It's been a hectic time here with trade shows, christenings, end of term and leaving primary school events for my children and sadly more recently my brother's father in law passed away very suddenly.  A lovely man who will be missed greatly.

Today I'm getting back in the flow with Sue's challenge for our Christmas Card Club.  She asked us to make a card with a Christmas teddy and I know in the depths of my craft room I have one somewhere, but for today he's incognito dressed as a naughty reindeer!!!  This is a stamp a bought years ago and have never used!!!! You can all relate to that I'm sure!  I've coloured him partially with my new blendies and my markers both from Stampin' Up! and I've used the brand new heart border punch to fall in with my sentiment  - Hoping your Christmas is trimmed with the love and warmth of family and friends -  A few doodle dots with my white gel pen and we're done bar the sequins, dazzling details (glitter glue), stampin' distress tool and chalk talk framelits for the sentiment.

Colours used are real red, pacific point, soft suede, crumb cake, daffodil delight, old olive, cherry cobbler, basic black and whisper white.  Sentiment is from Stampin' Up! Christmas Messages which is still available until 15 August.

Please do go check out the other ladies 'teddy bears' by clicking on the links in my sidebar for more Christmas inspiration. After all we're over half way there already!!!

Enjoy what's left of your weekend.
