New Stamp Sets

We're getting close to the new catalogue which should be arriving on our doorstep in a few weeks - ordering to commence on 1st October. Demonstrators have been able to buy a few pre-order sets and mine arrived today - they are fabulous! My favourite has to be Season of Joy and I can't wait to get stamping. Plus there is an added bonus... all these sets are already die-cut! I heard on the grapevine that some of the sets would be like this but didn't realise it was these, and it took me minutes to put them together ready to go. - yippeee! :)

So here's the new sets - I couldn't choose which was my favourite at the time so I bought all of them....sssssshhhh, don't tell Paul. :)

If you would like to pre-order your 2008/2009 Idea Book & Catalogue, I will be selling them for £5 inc. p&p however this amount will be deducted off your first order with me. Please email your details and I will be sending them as soon as I receive them - approx. date for delivery is 24th Sept.

I'll be back soon with some samples from the new sets.

Happy stamping!

Beautiful Girl

Having some time out from 'other' stuff has given me inspiration for creating a few Stampin' Up! projects. Plus with a workshop on Wednesday I've really had to get my finger out. I'm on the case though and really looking forward to having a great time. I've had lots of help and ideas from all the girls over at the With Love With Stamping Forum so I hope it will be a success and we'll have a few laughs together.

I made this page last night - it's a very simple one for me but when you use SU! products all the colours go really well together which makes a project so easy to come together. I don't have any alpha stamps (yet) so I cut the title using 'alphalicious' on my Cricut. This really was a quick and easy page to make - the longest part was cutting and sticking the title. My wish list has definately got some alpha's on it now! :)

I used:- Cutie Pie patterend papers, Simply Said stamp set, Brocade Blue Ribbon, Silk Flower from the pretties kit dyed Rose Red, Pretty in Pink c/s. Inkpads:- Rose Red, Pretty in Pink, Certainly Celery, Barely Banana, Bashful Blue. Scalloped Cirlce, 1 1/4" & 1 3/8" cirlce punches

tfl,

Jo :)

Flip Book

Ok, so here it is - cased from Amy Celona is this fabulous Flip Book! It really is amazing and I don't think my photo's do it justice at all. It looks alot more complicated to make than it really is but the effect of all the different pages that flip over are fantastic. I've used the Carte Postale stamp set with Le Jardin and Rose Red Designer papers and Old Olive, Vanilla and Kraft Cardstock. Ive' also included elements from that adorable Pretties Kit (see my earlier post for 10% off this kit) which really is beautiful - see how I've used the half backed pearls as centres of the flowers? Gorgeous! I showed this book to my DH this morning and even he thought it was lovely and it's very rare that he will WOW over one of my projects! I've still to put a bit of journalling but basically it's now done ready for my workshop on Wednesday. I'm soo pleased with this flip book that I'll definately be making more - they're so much fun!

A little taster
