And they're off... to Stampin' Up! On-Stage Live!

I am so excited - the first ever On-Stage Live event in Belgium!

I'm off in the morning to Heathrow leaving hubby at home alone (what mess will I come home to?)!

I'll take lots of piccies but may not be able to share straight away as we're getting lots of sneak peeks for the new seasonal catalogue! I'll also eat lots of chocolate!

Here's a little experiment, I like to try things I've seen elsewhere -

This is the lattice effect using the Chevron Punch

It's a Gate Fold card and I decorated the inside and the envelope too using Flower Shop and Kinda Eclectic.

Well I'm off to pack now! See you in a week!

Slide on over...

...and see the last of the 3 slider cards. I'm not sure of the colours here and might tweak them but I love the idea.

 The Hardwood stamp is so versatile, here I used it for the planter. The Petite Petals stamp set and matching punch get a lot of outings and this was no exception.

Teamed up with a background made using the leaves from Kinda Eclectic and the label punched using the Decorative Label punch.

Like monday the pull is punched with the Ornate Tag Topper with Seam Binding and this time, Linen Thread added.

This week I am on a 4 day Health and Safety Course... so I hope I'll squeeze in some crafting.

Here's the tutorial to keep you busy!

It's May!

Can you believe how quickly the year is passing. It's unbelievable - items on the retiring list are selling fast and there's a new catalogue just around the corner.

It only seems like yesterday we got the last catalogue and there are so many lovely things in the current catalogue that are retiring but I have seen the new one and... WOW.

Today I'm showing just a couple of the projects we'll be making in our May classes just £10.95, this stamp set is staying with us and I'm so glad as there is so much I still have to do with it!

The set is called Kinda Eclectic and I was DYING to make these super little bookmarks, finished off with a tassel made using the Gold Bakers Twine

This card posed a dilemma - sun? Or no sun? What do you think?

I think both versions are stunning so I'll let the ladies in my class decide.

Today I'm planning on stepping out of my comfort zone - I was so inspired by the new catalogue and some of our existing kits... I'll be back soon to share... as it's a Bank Holiday here on Monday it's almost guaranteed to rain this weekend so I'll be crafting.

I would love to hear how you spend the weekend so please leave a comment - or share your projects on my Facebook page!
