No pictures.....yet

I've had a lovely night tonight doing what I want to do for a change and it's been wonderful. Julie has a workshop next week and she asked me to do some scrapbooking things with the SU! products. Well I'm soooo pleased with what I've made - it's a mini book. I can't take credit for it as I found the instructions while blog hopping, but believe me you will be blown away. I was when I initially saw it and now having created my own I love it even more. Tomorrow I will add the photos and the finishing touches so you won't have to wait too long to see what it is. I bought a few goodies which arrived at the beginning of the week and one of the items was the pretties kit. OMG! It's beautiful!!! The silk flowers are so silky soft and pure white, there are white and cream half backed pearls in 3 sizes, hat pins and spacers, glass beads and pearls. Honestly it really is beautiful and it comes in a gorgeous clear top tin. I've used some of the items on my mini book tonight which looks so classy. Initially I thought it was quite a pricey item at £25.95 but to be honest it really is quite gorgeous and well worth it. So, until the 30th September I will be giving 10% off the price of the Pretties Kit (£23.35 + p&p). This offer is only available through me. To view the Pretties Kit visit here for the online catalogue, and use the slider to get to page 84. If you wish to take advantage of this offer, please email me at jodumbleton@aol.co.uk. Watch this space for my mini book coming soon ....

Au Revoir my Little Froggies

Come 1st October there is a NEW Stampin' Up! Catalogue and I can tell you I'm sooo excited! This year has been a fantastic one for Stampin' Up! in the UK and although it was all so new to me back in February, I love their products so much for quality, originality and of course co-ordination. Plus everything is all in one catalogue! Do you know I've popped into Hobbycraft on the odd occasion and when I see an aisle of their rubber stamps, it does nothing for me now. The reason for that is it's just a row of stamps - nothing matches, nothing grabs me and the prices are quite unbelievable too! If I see someone browsing I sooo want to ask them if they're interested in a workshop so they can try before they buy and to show them how amazing Stampin' Up! is. Of course I never have, but I know they would be hooked.... if only. So with a new catalogue we also get a Retirement List to make way for more NEW and wonderful stamps and accessories. The retirement list is effective from 1st September and once these sets are gone, they are well and truly gone. There is an added bonus though.......these sets have been discounted so bargains galore!!! My beloved 'Unfrogettable' stamp set is going - I shall miss him as it's my favourite set if you hadn't noticed but having seen a few little sneaks of the new catalogue I can forgive SU! for taking him away from me. (Incase you want to order him he's been discounted from £25.95 to £23.95) The full Retired List is here and you know where I am if you want anything - just drop me an email. I'm off to drown my sorrows over froggie now....

Another Frog

I can't help it - I love the Unfrogettable stamp set - he's so cute! And of course the Cutie Pie Patterned Papers (I'm on my 2nd pack) match so well but then everything does with Stampin' Up!

I also made this little pouch which is excellent as a gift filled with sweets. I used more Cutie Pie Papers with Certainly Celery and Real Red colours to match.

All the Patterned Paper packs are on offer for August. Buy three packs and get one free! Only trouble is chosing which one's to have. - I love them all!! :)

Gift Box

Ok so at long last I've made something that I can actually show you. It's a very cute little box and inside there are 10 thank you notes with envelopes. I used Seeing Spots stamp set along with Certainly Celery and Rose Red Designer papers and matching cardstock, ribbon and inks.

I'll be back later to post two more projects.... the chimney sweep has just arrived!
