MORE SNEAK PEEKS …

One thing that I enjoy is the time during holidays to blissfully craft away without any thought of ‘what should I be doing now?’ …

and … when holidays coincide with new catalogue release dates … it is really a great time … so, here are two more sneak peeks – two new cards created using a range of brand new products that become available for customer to order from 5th January – almost there!!

Blackberry Bliss and Hello Honey meet the Grateful Bunch Stamp Set and Blossom Bunch Punch featured in the Occasions Catalogue … as well as the Floral Wings Stamp Set (Hostess set from the 2015-2016 Annual Catalogue).

This is a remake/CASE of a gift card package that I made a little while ago in one of Tanya Bell’s classes (Stampin’ T) … when people ask me why I am ‘with Stampin’ Up!’, my answer always reflects my continuing excitement about the SU product range and the coordination and integration of colour, shape, style, paper, ink, stamp sets, tools … there is no ‘guess work’ … it all works together!

IT’S ALMOST TIME … OCCASIONS & SALE-A-BRATION CATALOGUES … YOUR TURN from 5th JANUARY

I hope that everyone has enjoyed a wonderful start to 2016!

While I have been very fortunate to already have the opportunity to pre-order and play with many of the amazing new products in the Occasions and Sale-a-bration catalogues, it is almost YOUR TURN.

This card uses the Rose Wonder Stamp Set and Rose Garden Thinlits Dies (just to prove that I am not totally fixated on the Botanical Blooms bundle).

… there is nothing too fussy about this card … a stamped sentiment, die cut elements glued using the brilliant fine-tip glue pen, three colour elements and a bit of bling. I do like clean and simple cards.

My other project, this evening, has been a birthday card for my niece … to be posted after she receives it … I am very pleased with how it has turned out … it links really nicely with her gift.

Enjoy the early days of 2016 and craft like crazy!!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR …

As 2015 draws to an end, I think about all the amazing things I have experienced, learned and shared with great satisfaction … all in all, I think my life is fantastic!

So … according to my watch, I have about 90 minutes before 2016 arrives as our new year … and I am ready to embrace it with gusto … I know what goals I want to achieve in 2016 and am excited to work for them to come to fruition, especially my creative goals!

… and so it is time to say farewell to 2015 and “hello 2016“.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

Thank you to everyone, from around the world, who has popped in to look at my blog.

I wish each and everyone of you a spectacularly brilliant 2016 filled with joy, love, friendship and success.

Hoping that 2016 brings greater peace and safety than so many experienced in 2015.

… INSPIRE … CREATE … SHARE …

… imagine what could be achieved if every person could fulfill one of these affirmations, in some small way, throughout 2016 …

HELLO 2016

… bring it on …
