Love... From Stampin' Up!

Hiya - I have so much to tell you but I'm sure you'll get bored so in summary...

• I've been swimming for the 1st time in 16 years
• I'm going to start running... for the 1st time in 16 years
• I had 3 classes last week - so sorry for not posting
• I spent the whole of yesterday evening crafting... until 1am this morning.

So you can see I've been kinda busy! I am ordering tomorrow as I don't want to miss out on the Saleabration items that were limited!

Last night was great - one of my downline and I were chatting, laughing and crafting until the early hours and I'm having a craft afternoon in my studio tomorrow from 3:30-6:30 if you want to come over... just call me!

I'll just share the last of my Valentine creations before I work on some other uses for my Bloomin' Heart thinlits and Bloomin' Love stamps... I've seen loads of things I'd like to case! 

 The first card was made using Versamark and the Rock & Roll technique - embossed with the Irridescent Ice embossing powder.

This one uses the Rock & Roll technique too as well as the fabulous corner punch!

 

This is my last Valentine idea for this year... in case you are still stuck! I used the Confetti Heart punch and a Circle punch for the spotlight effect on the heart.

Have a great day tomorrow with the ones you love! xxx

Sneaky Peeky!

I'm sorry I've been so rubbish - I have tried to have a few days off over Christmas but have had 2 classes, lots of lovely crafty visitors and have been playing with my new stash - so haven't had time to photograph, edit and post piccies...

So here are a couple of new things I want to share!

The first is a stamp I fell in love with as soon as I saw the new catalogue - I couldn't keep it off my wish list and it was the first stamp I mounted and used!

He's called Baby Bumblebee and was a perfect stamp for my Blendabilities - though you could colour him with straight forward markers.

Can you resist him? Nah - can't be done - he's too cute!

Now most of you know I can't resist punches and I had to have this little Bow Builder punch... I can't wait to decorate some little boxes and gifts... I have valentines day in my sights! Especially when you consider the Confetti Heart Border punch - but I'm saving that for another day!

I'm hoping to post some more over the next week - but I'll leave you with those treats for now! The catalogue goes live on the 6th of January - and Saleabration starts then too! Eeek.
