OCCASIONS CATALOGUE LAUNCH

I am pleased that I scheduled this event for today … after two weeks back at school (one without/one with students), I was definitely ready for a day dedicated to stamping and creating!

The night before, I made one final card for my display table.

It was the first time I had ‘played’ with the Bear Hugs stamp set and framelits dies … I had wondered if I could use the framelit to create a bear version of ‘paper dolls’ that I made when I was a child and made with my daughters … here is the end result!

I was up early this morning to set up for a 10am ‘start’ …

Table set up and ready … with the supplies for our first card ready …

I am lucky to have a large space to use for workshops – view from display table through to our working area … my craft room to the right.

These are all the cards and boxes I made during the Christmas holidays … lots of catalogue casing and a few originals …

It was a great day of stamping – two cards, a 3×3 card and five gift tags … although it was very hot and steamy!!

 

NEXT CLASS – February 21 or 28 – Bountiful Botanicals.

AUSTRALIA DAY …

After many weeks of divine holiday indulgence – visiting, relaxing and creating – it is time to return to “WORK”.

[WORK = that thing we do to pay for all the things we love doing!!]

If you saw one of my earlier holiday posts, you will know that this is the first time I have not done any school work, during the school vacation, since I commenced teaching in 1983 (yes, I am getting on a bit!).

So … tomorrow is officially day 1 of the 2016 school year for me and, as I always do, I am looking forward to an amazing year working with the remarkable young men and women in my classes …

I will have four ‘student free days’ for planning and meetings … and then enjoy the Australia Day weekend …

Here is the card I have created to celebrate the first and very significant public holiday of 2016 … and it’s all about the sun, backyard & the barbeque!

I hope that each has a ‘sizzling’ Australia Day!!

CALENDAR UPDATE …

 

I have just finished adding details for my Stampin’ Time classes for the first six months of 2016 … most months will feature a class based around a stamp set from the Occasions catalogue.

The class will usually be offered twice … on the second and fourth Sunday … unless there are holidays or other life events, including:

… one date change (from the 14th February to the 21st).

Details of the stamp sets and pricing for each month are now available on my calendar (What’s On page) and the sidebar.

I am very excited that the Occasions catalogue event is only a fortnight away and I have been having a wonderful time working my way through both the Occasions and Sale-A-Bration catalogues CASeing many of the projects the amazing SU design team created to show us some of the great ways to use all of these new goodies …

Here is a recent reinvention of a project from p25 of Occasions – I have not ordered the Pyramid Pals bundle yet but have the Starburst Sayings stamp set … so … this is how I was inspired by one idea to create a card variation … and, the leaves thinlit from Rose Garden is going to be very handy!
