Brisbane Floods

2011-01-13T10:32:00.002+10:00

Hi all,

Like a lot of you I have been watching the devastation of the Brisbane floods on TV. We have been very fortunate and have suffered no damage at all. But my heart is heavy with despair for all those affected by this tragedy & the loss of lives.

I hope you can spare a prayer for these people.

God bless

Hello all!

Well I have been rather busy& that means I have let my blog slip, my sincerest apologies! Life is always interesting. My time has been taken up with study & all the assignments that go along with it ... I have loved every minute of it.

What I also love is that as an Independent Stampin' Up! demonstrator I can choose how much time I spend on my craft or other life needs & then come back & pick it all back up again. It's like catching up with an old friend I haven't been chatting to for a while!!

Christmas is inevitably sneaking closer & to help you with all your Christmas cards you will be making this year STampin' Up! have a marvellous Bundles & FREE ribbon offers - see below for this posting.

Also I am still here to help out your hubby choose you exactly what you want for your crafty gift, all you need to do is email / ph me your Wish List & then I will help him with some hassle-free success- guarantted shopping!! SOOOO easy! :-)

Take care & wishing you happy stamping!

Stampin' Up! Colour Renovation is Coming!

Stampin Up is going to be having a "colour renovation" in September with the new Idea Book and Catalogue!

Some of our current colours will be discontinued and there will be some brand new colours introduced, along with the return of some of our favourite in-colours!

Our colours will then be organised into 4 Colour Collections, rather than the Colour Families we know at the moment. Some of the colours have moved into different collections and I just love the way they look - so fresh and vibrant!

There's still quite a bit of time before this comes into effect so don't worry - you will have plenty of time to collect any of your favourite colours that may be discontinued.

If you have favourties that you just can't live without, its a great idea to purchase the ink refill bottle so that your inkpad can last almost forever! And you might like to purchase a pack or 2 of the matching cardstock to see you through.

You'll see and hear more about this as September draws closer, but for now, enjoy your colours and keep stamping!

Stampin' Up! Autumn - Winter mini catalogue
coming April 1st

2010-03-29T14:55:00.003+10:00

Hello from the Missing in Action .... ME!!

I am really sorry that it has taken me so long to get back onto my blog. Life has been rather busy - but then who doesn't have a busy life now-a-days!

Our Summer mini is coming to an end, however there is no need to be sad as the new Autumn-Winter mini is packed with some absolutely GORGEOUS new products.... I am really excited ... yes, again!

.......This stunning card was made by Kate Smith, a very lovely & talented Paper Angel...........
Kate has used the set "Pony Party" & the really pretty "Cottage Wall" Designer Series Paper.

To showcase some of these wonderful new tools, colours & stamp sets our Paper Angels group had an Autumn - Winter Mini Catalogue launch yesterday, 28th March, at the Wynnum Manly Leagues Club - this is a great venue!

The afternoon was a lot of fun, everyone - nearly 100! - made two beautiful cards & enjoyed the demonstrations.

Also on display were beautiful samples made by many of our talented Paper Angels. These cards were made by Bec Ross, using the new set "Fox & Friends". The pretty pink ribbon is one of our new colours "Melon Mambo" - if the photo looks washed out that is solely due to my poor camera.

We had three amazing Lucky Door Prizes,
here are our lucky winners

... (one winner had a stand-in).

Stamp Club Dates

2010-01-11T12:23:00.002+10:00

Hello & Happy New Year to you and your family.

My family had a quiet Christmas at home, with some friends sharing Christmas dinner with us. Then we went South to visit my folks & sisters in NSW. It is always lovely to see family & it is really nice to get home safely.

I have spent the last couple of days getting my three girls ready for school, my youngest starts this year... so this is the first year ALL of them will be at school at the same time... yah!! So now all the books are covered, phew!, the uniforms are washed & shoes sitting ready. With all the school requirements met I have time to let you know what promotions Stampin' Up! have planned.... 3 easy ways to earn FREE stamp sets:

Brisbane Regional training day

2009-12-03T10:45:00.004+10:00

On Sat 28th November, 2009 I went to SUp!'s
Regional Training day at the Hilton, Brisbane.

It was a brilliant day with approx 200 people attending.
30 of those there were from our Paper Angels group.

We got to "play" & make 4 projects using new product from the new Summer Mini Catalogue.

(see below post for more details)

Stampin' Up! representatives & fellow Qld demonstrators shared tips on workshop ideas & we were treated to demonstrations of great techniques ... I have to try the faux reptile ....

Aaron Scott, CEO Stampin' Up! Australia, made a card with no glitter & yet still managed to get some on himself & his card thanks to the exposure of his Crop-a-dile to Dazzling Diamonds in the past ... how funny. My husband is now used to going to work with glitter somewhere on himself!! Occupational hazard... hee hee.

I had made 31 cards to swap with other demonstrators, so I have some lovely cards to show you. Swapping is a fantastic way to get new ideas, techniques & colour schemes using stamp sets I may not have. Though the new Butterfly Prints stamp set & Butterfly Punch featured prominently! It's not just me that loves this new beauty!!

Summer Mini Catalogue, Butterfly Prints stamp set & Butterfly Punch

2009-12-03T10:31:00.007+10:00

New Summer Mini Catalogue

You can view the new Summer Mini Catalogue by following the link below:

http://catalogs.shoplocal.com/stampinup/index.aspx?pagename=storefinder&storeid=1039381

This is my favourite Summer Mini stamp set (so far!!) Butterfly Prints (pg 12) with co-ordinating Butterfly Punch.. yah!! again!!! (ha ha) ... AND it gets even better, as this new punch also co-ordinates with our Idea Book & Catalogue's Flight of the Butterfly (pg 82).

This is a photo of the card I made using these stamp sets & punch as my 'swap' for our recent Stampin' Up! Regional training day that was held at the Brisbane Hilton. So easy!!

New Summer Mini Catalogue now available

2009-12-03T10:28:00.002+10:00

"Out with the old & in with the new" is an adage that isn't always enjoyed by some people, however, with the Spring Mini finished we can welcome Stampin' Up!s new Summer Mini Catalogue... yah!!!

New stamp sets, punches (I love punches!!), accessories - such as rub-ons, accents, ribbons, hardware & buttons ... ohh! the fun!

You can view the new Summer Mini online by following this link:

http://catalogs.shoplocal.com/stampinup/index.aspx?pagename=storefinder&storeid=1039381

If you are attending our last 2009 Stamp Club this Sat 5th Dec at 7pm you will receive a complimentary copy!! (I have a couple places left available)

My favourite Summer Mini stamp set (so far!!) Butterfly Prints (pg 12) with co-ordinating Butterfly Punch.. yah!! again!!! (ha ha) ... AND it gets even better, as this new punch also co-ordinates with our Idea Book & Catalogue's Flight of the Butterfly (pg 82). I made cards using these as my 'swap' for our recent Stampin' Up! Regional training day that was held at the Brisbane Hilton. I will post photos soon.

At the Regionals we used Hello Again & the matching Retro Remix Stampin' Around Wheel. I was thrilled with the projects.
There is a fantastic 1 3/4" Circle punch to co-ordinate with our new Sweet Treat Cups & some very bright & happy Kaliedoscope Designer Series Papers, cute Animal Stories & handcrafted crocheted flowers to accent your creations.!!

Remember that if you want anything especially for Christmas then you will need to let me know by 15th December, to ensure delivery!

All the best & happy stamping!!

Touch wood, but my record still stands, that at least one of my table wins one of the fantastic raffle prizes!! Well done!!! Yahhh!!! I feel like I win when you do. Stampin' Up! have donated so many prizes, & the demonstrators have added to this as well. Amazing prizes!!!

If you missed out on attending the Christmas events, maybe you would like to join us for our next event. I'll keep you posted as to waht / when / where that will be.

"I Wish" Stationary Box

2009-09-01T21:27:00.005+10:00

I am so excited about this one...

The Stationary Box was designed by Jackie Topa. I needed to make some changes to the box as AUS cards & envelopes are slightly larger than the ones in the US.

For this project I had Christmas in mind.

Using only 1/2 pack of the SUP! "I Wish" Scrappin' kit (pg 137) & a few extra pieces of co-ordinating cardstock I have made the box, 10 cards, 8 gift cards & 8 gift tags!!! Wow!

In these pictures the inside of the box is not quite finished. To be added is a pen holder, the postage stamp wallet & the "Wish List".

I looked at lots of pictures on the Net of how other demonstrators have used this kit in their card making. Special thanks to Lynette Couper, NZ & DsyLou for your inspiration.

I hope you enjoy my adaptation.

This Stationery Box would make the perfect gift for so many people ... the next kit in my "sights" is Sweet Nothings, it's such a beautiful kit.

2009-09-01T20:52:00.004+10:00

My wonderful friend, Yvonne, has been stamping ... & so beautifully!!!

Using Playful Petals & the Eyelet Border punch, Yvonne has made this simple & very elegant blue & white card. .... don't forget the glitter!

This is a variation of the Bookmark card (you will find another version in my Cards section)

Wow, this is so dramatic .... & again, gorgeous!!

When you pull out the useful Bookmark gift, the card is still a complete card.

Yvonne is not only a talented stamper, she is also an accomplish Parchment crafter.

This is the gorgeous parchment card she made for my daughter, Kirsten's 5th Birthday.

Thank you, Yvonne, for allowing me to share these beautiful photos.

Altered Teabag Box

2009-08-10T15:22:00.004+10:00

I decided to clean up my craft desk & I rediscovered an empty Tetley teabag box. Now I love my cups of tea but it did take me awhile to remember WHY I had an empty teabag box on my desk....

Ahh!! that's right. I was impressed with the box itself, as it is a top opening self sealer.
I was going to pull it all apart to make a template but decided against it.

But what to do with it??
.... as it is the perfect height I can use it to store my loose Stampin' Write Markers in!!!

I decided I really didn't want a teabag box on my desk & I have all these lovely Stampin' Up! Designer Series papers ... my choice here is the Bella Blue papers. Using a couple of self adhesive (contraband!!) rhinestones & a small flower from the Pretties kit to add some "bling" I now have a practical & attractive storage solution. Even my husband is impressed :-)

If you can half decently wrap a boxed gift then you will find this an easy & pleasant craft activity. I'd love to see what others can 'alter' - perfect recycling!

I knew I drank so much tea for a reason... ha ha

New Mini Catalogue card sample & Spots

2009-07-31T22:27:00.003+10:00

Did you know that the Stampin' Spots can be used for more than just inking stamps? The background here was made twisting my Rich Regals spots directly onto Whisper White cardstock. The colour combinations are endless.

These two cards are made using the new Parisian Breeze Specialty & Ski Slope Designer Series Papers, new ribbon, Scallop Oval punch & Oval All & Gallery stamp sets available in the new Mini Catalogue. We made them at the last monthly Demonstrator meeting. Aren't they absolutely gorgeous.

While this beautiful creation was made using Whisper White card stock & Riding Hood Red Designer Series Paper. You can see there are places for photos, letter or sentiments to be added.

Techniques Class / Shoebox event
On the 18th July I held a class (above), there were 10 lovely people who came. Everyone made 8 cards, incorporated into these 8 projects were techniques such as Water Colouring, Sponging, Rocking & Rolling, Masking, Kissing, Ghosting, Chalk Boarding & more. We used lots of tools: crimper, brayer, stamp positioner, Aqua Painting, etc. Amazingly nobody needed valium when they left smiling & no one threw anything at me either!! It was a lot of fun.

Thank you to all for making the afternoon so enjoyable!!! I have already been asked to run another one.... so if there is a technique or tool you'd love to know how to use, or if you'd like to get some friends together & have me run this class again, then please let me know & I'll see what (& when) I can organise something.

Touching base again ... :-)

2009-07-27T22:29:00.001+10:00

I have been rather busy of late so my poor blog has been sadly neglected. Below is an entry that shows you a little of what I have been up to ... I am certainly not complaining, I'm having a lot of fun!!!

All the best to you

Kind regards

2009-07-27T22:25:00.002+10:00

I have "borrowed" this entry entirely from my papercarft manager, Liz's, blog who is such a lovely supportive person. Liz has said it all so well ...Thank you Liz & thank you Jerry for a really nice day.

St Pauls Manly Market Day

Just over a year ago I was asked if I would contribute a stall/display at St Paul's Market Day. One of the lovely things that happened that day was that my friend and fellow demonstrator Jen met Jerry, one of the local parishioners, who then joined our 'Paper Angels' Group of Independent Stampin Up Demonstrators. This year Jen, Jerry and I worked together on the St Paul's Market Day. One of the absolute highlights of this day is the very professional 'sidewalk cafe' known as 'Pauls on Ernest', which serves everything from professional coffee, delicious gourmet breakfasts and delicious handmade cakes. Jerry went to so much effort making the fabulous table numbers, decorating them with stamping and messages inviting people to come and make a complimentary card with us.

St Pauls had a fabulous display of historic Christening Gowns which was very special as well as displays and a fashion parade of wedding gowns over the years. Other attractions included the local school band, Caprice Dancers and of course complimentary Stampin Up Make & Takes. I was able to snap some photos of Jerry and Jen showing how easy and fun stamping is. The wonderful thing was that we had a great range of people stop by and we really enjoyed sharing the cute little card we had all come up with for our make & take.

The rector of St Paul's, Canon Keith Colbert, is quite a character (clearly loved by all the parishioners) and has a way with words. In his welcome flyer he noted 'Fetes are occasions to buy goodies not usually available anywhere else. Proper Coconut Ice and Fudge, padded coat hangers and rag dolls, are not common in the shops, but what would life be without them?' Indeed, there is something comforting about finding these traditional items, which like hand stamped cards, remind us of the enjoyment of simple pleasures. Thank you Jerry and Jen for all your hard work and inviting me along - it was a lovely morning.

2009-07-06T21:02:00.004+10:00

This beautiful cupcake display is one you can admire completely guilt free ... Liz made these cupcakes from cardstock & Our Designer Series Papers ... aren't they gorgeous?!

even though my photography is a bit sad this littel card is happy! If you would like to enlarge the image you will notice that the lower half has a scoring feature. Can you see how the rolled & sewn cardstock on the right matches in with the ribbon?

Post-It Note holders

2009-06-18T18:46:00.004+10:00

I must apologise for the crink you are about to get in your neck looking at this photo! I have no idea why it loaded sideways & I am too uneducated in blogging to correct it when the original was right side up... ??

Anyway, enough of my twaddle...

Please tilt your head to the right....

These Post-It Note holders are quick, easy & fun to make. You can start from fresh supplies or use your scraps to put together these lovely little gifts... what a great idea for teachers or to send to a distant relative.

If you would like the instructions on how to make them or if you would like me to show you how easy they are, just drop me an email or phone call. :-) Jen x

Stampin' Up! 09 Convention swaps & news

2009-05-08T22:35:00.003+10:00

Last weekend the Aus & NZ '09 SUp! Convention was held in Canberra. I didn't go ... but luckily my team leader, Liz, was happy to help me out & I sent along some swaps - these are projects swapped between other demonstrators. It is a wonderful way to get ideas, see different colour schemes, stamp sets & techniques - These are the swaps I got in return. Some demonstrators made 50 swaps... wow

Brilliant news... Liz was awarded the Heart of Stampin' Up! award - this is a really special award & Liz is a wonderful person, I am very happy for her.

May weekend and Bookmark card

2009-05-08T21:56:00.004+10:00

This is where I spent my May long weekend... it was pretty tough, but someone had to do it!

----------

Bookmark card

The idea of this card is a gift & card in one ....

slip out the bookmark gift...

& then you have bookmark & card!

I used Playful Petals stamp set (thanks for the loan Kate!!)
& Sincere Salutations.
Cardstock used: Confetti White, Old Olive, More Musturd & Ruby Red. Vanila grosgrain ribbon, Aqua Painter & Dazzling diamonds ... glitter... yah!

Surprises - Raspberry Tart DSP part 2

2009-05-08T21:34:00.005+10:00

Gift Box Album

The hardest thing about the lid is making the ribbon flower on top! It is ok if you have about 4 hands, ha ha, or some paper clips would suffice :-) Then you open the lid & ......

Gift Box Album (inside)

Of-course it will look more impressive when I put the photos in! There are pockets, journalling slips, mini cards & enough room to put up to 14 photos inside ... this is the perfect gift!

--------
Below is a Pop Up Accordian card

I had a lot of fun making this as well, it is something I hadn't tried before but as I love pottering in the garden.....
... I made this special little flower patch to pop up & say hello! I have used the One of A Kind stamp set & matching Boho Blossoms punch, also the 5 petal flower punch. Again staying with the Rapberry Tart Designer Series Paper theme & co-ordinating cardstock, ribbon & inks.

Boxes and Card with a plus

2009-05-08T19:51:00.003+10:00

Explosion Box Card (inside)

Last weekend I went away for a girlie scrapbooking weekend with my very good friend ... bliss! It was very relaxing & while I didn't get a single photo 'scrapped' I did complete these wonderful projects. I could not have achieved this at home - too many interruptions!

I chose to use our double sided 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper "Raspberry Tart" & colour co-ordinated with our textured cardstock... add some bling & wow! I am really happy with the end result.

Explosion Box all together.
--------
Below is an Origami box

This is really easy as there is no cutting, no measuring just folding.....
I have used the Kiwi Kiss Striped Grosgrain Ribbon & an accent from the Styled Silver Hodgepodge set & Half Pearl from our Pretties Kit.
-------
& at the end of the weekend when I had lots of scraps left over I then made this
Serendipity Card

I then used the Priceless stamp set & white Tafetta ribbon & Dazzling Diamonds... I love glitter. By the end of the weekend I was covered in it!

I was amazed at how little Designer Series Paper from the pack was actually used to complete all of these projects. I had a great weekend!

So if you would like to see any of these projects up close then I would be happy to come & demonstrate this at your next workshop.

Paper Angels

2009-04-25T22:39:00.002+10:00

Have you all heard me talk about Paper Angels? I thought I might describe what it all means...

I am an Independent Demonstrator with Stampin' Up! Australia, & I belong with a larger group of (mostly) Brisbane demonstrators called "Paper Angels"... there are quite a number of us now. :-)

Paper Angels run regular fundraising events, both Card Classes & Scrapbooking.

Our Paper Angels group run these events to support Charities. Our main charity is the Mater Mother's Bereavement Support Program. As you can imagine, losing a baby can be a very stressful & emotional time for a family. The gifts we are providing, though they may seem small, mean a great deal to grieving families... that personal touch, the recognition of their loss.

Due to our continued support with the Mater Mother's hospital word is getting around to the other hospitals & we will be spreading our "wings" over the Brisbane's Children's & Wesley hospitals in the future. The nurses are grateful & the feedback from families involved has all been very positive.

It is nice to know that my love for paper craft can be of some support to a family experiencing such heart ache.

So if you get the opportunity to come along to one of our Paper Angels events, know that you will be supporting worthwhile charities while having a good day out doing something you enjoy!!

Thank you for taking the time to read this. It means a lot to me & all the Paper Angels.

Album in a Day 1st March Pine Rivers

2009-03-08T21:50:00.003+10:00

On the 1st of March our Paper Angels group of Stampin' Up! demonstrators held an Album in a Day charity event at Pine Rivers to raise money for the Cancer Research Foundation.
This is a photo of the lovely ladies that I had the pleasure of spending the day with while we made a complete 20 page 6" x 6" scrapbook album.
There were fantastic raffle prizes donated by Stampin' Up! & it was our most successful to date.
I was not let down with my table as one won a major raffle prize... yahoo! The event is also being held at Carina Leagues Club 15th March.

new cards

2009-02-26T19:46:00.005+10:00

I apologise it has taken me so long to get back to my blog, life is never dull!

Recently our Playgroup said a special Thank you to our Co-ordinator & Treasurer. We got them a gift voucher & I volunteered to make them a card... after all it's what I love doing.

This is the inside open gift card wallet, it includes two pockets & gift tags for sentiments to be either written or stamped.

This gift card wallet is incredibly easy to make. I used double sided paper from our Berry Bliss paper pack. Then I co-ordinated the ribbons, card stock & inks. By using the Boho Backgrounds stamp set, Scallop & Circle punches I covered the front of the wallet.

The ladies were very surprised & loved their card / gift. As it fits easily into an envelope & is very light postage is not a problem. All up... the perfect gift!

I love our wheel stamps, they make creating a background so simple.

Here I have used So Swirly Jumbo wheel in Pefect Plum, on matching card stock. Throw in a bit of crimping (always fun!) & the Hostess exclusive Time Well Spent stamp set all I needed to do was add some Dazzling Diamonds (glitter)
& it was complete.

I sincerely apologise for all the sore necks after looking at this beautiful card.

This show cases the wheel stamp again. Thebackground is created by using the Forever Flowers standard wheel. Then using the gorgoeus flower stamp from the Together Forever stamp set (pg 56) & Scallop punch a subtle accent has been added to the left of the verse.

Very elegant, not my creation!

While this stamp set, Always, was in our Spring mini catalogue I am hoping it will be included in our new 09-10 Idea Book & Catalogue.

Again very simple & yet so effective. The use of paper piercing is a perfect finish!

Again, not my creation.

By matching inks & cardstock creating beautiful cards is easy... which is another reason why I love Stampin' Up! so much... everything matches.

Happy stamping.
Regards
Jen

You can earn income in four ways: - instatnt income (20% of each order), monthly volume rebates (4-12% of total sales), monthly downline commissions (2-6% of your recruits sales) & title accelerator (5-30% of your downline commissions).

Stock piles of supplies:
You will only order when a customer places an order & pays you in advance. No stockpiles!

No high pressure sales pitches to sell & recruit:
Recruiting is absolutely optional. We give friendly, helpful advice about our customers needs. It is part of why I love Stampin' Up! so much.. no high pressure selling!

How much does it cost to become a demonstrator?
The only cost is $324 to purchase a Starter Kit. There are no annual renewal fees.

What is in the Starter Kit?
The Stampin' Up! Starter Kit has products to help you start your business, including stamp sets, ink pads, card stock, adhesive, scissors, stamp cleaning supplies & business supplies. You can see a picture of all the items it contains in the back of you Idea Book & Catalogue, or online at www.stampinup.com If you are interested in scrapbooking you can select the Stampin' Memories Add-On for an additional $75.

I can assure you that when I was looking to join I worked out the cost of the above vs the Starter Kit's cost.... it is a real value savings. $564 of product for $324... amazing...PLUS during Sale-A-Bration Jan/Feb you can also choose a stamp set of YOUR choice up to the value of $79.95.... PLUS our demonstrator group, Paper Angels, are offering an additional hamper of products & an additional stamp set to the value of $140 ... so that is almost $800 worth of product & business supplies for the incredible price of just $324 !!!!!

Reginal Training at Brisbane

the projects to the left are using a new stamp set that will be available in our Summer Mini Cataolgue... we each received this set & got to make a scrap page & card... it is truly a nice set!

I thoroughly enjoyed the evening, like a little mini Convention. It was wonderful to be in room full of creative people, to see the demonstrations, hear the tips & techniques & share business ideas. Very inspiring. I admit over the next couple of days I rushed to get some of these ideas translated out as completed projects, before my memory got too many holes in it! :-)

2008-10-26T22:27:00.002+10:00

OK these are a bit mixed up, images 1,2 & 3 are from the Regional Field Training seminar held at Brisbane 2 months ago.

Images 4 & 5 are the entries into the paper craft section of the Redlands Festival.

The photos directly above are made by one of my lovely customers, a fellow former Hunter Valley "member", Karen. Note the bag-a-lopes.. There are more pictures of her handiwork coming...

the photos to the left are a sneak preview of a stamp set from our Summer mini catalogue. we made these little beauties at one of our recent Demonstrator meetings.

I am constantly amazed at the beautiful designs that are displayed at our mthly meetings.

2008-10-26T21:10:00.002+10:00

I am trying to upload a whole heap of photos of cards that I have on my camera, I'm a tad behind. If you would like any details or instructions on how to replicate one of these cards, please call me.. I am always happy to talk about craft! ;-) jen x

NB: While most of these photos are of my own designs some of the photos included are from the lovely demonstrators from our Paper Angels group.

Gift vouchers

2008-10-23T13:47:00.004+10:00

Do you have a partner that doesn't know what to get you for Christmas? then I can help.

I am offering "gift vouchers" for the first time.

How they work: You - comply a Wish List
Partner - informs me how much they would like to spend & we choose products from your Wish List, so there is a small element of surprise for you (last orders by 05/12/08 to ensure delivery)

OR

Your partner can contact me to purchase a Gift Voucher & then after Christmas you contact me & go 'shopping' through our Idea Book & Catalogue.

Gift Vouchers can be for any amount.

I hope this helps you receive a Christmas gift that you really want!

Regards. Jen x

Carina Christmas Card Charity Workshop

2008-10-23T13:39:00.002+10:00

Last Sunday we held our Charity Christmas event at Carina. It was a big day with 80 customers.
Everyone made 6 beautiful Christmas cards exclusively designed by members of Paper Angels -our Stampin' Up! demonstrator group.
I had a full table & two of my ladies were fortunate enough to win raffle prizes... one was a major draw with over $100 worth of product + some extra goodies!!!
Next Sunday I will at the Pine Rivers event & then on the 9th Nov I will be at our last event held at Cleveland. It has a been a very busy time for me ... but so much fun! And the best part of all is that we are raising money for the Mater's Mothers Bereavement Support Program.

Thank you to the ladies who came Sunday & were a part of such a special & fun day.

Why not become a Stampin' Up! demonstrator!

I have so much fun within our Stampin' Up! demonstrator group 'Paper Angels'. There is a lot of support, ideas & techniques are shared, for me it is like another part of my family.

On a personal benefit side... As a demonstrator you will receive 20% discount on all of your Stampin' Up! purchases with the opportunity to earn volume rebates (extra income). You will receive loads of training with ongoing support & access to demonstrator only websites.

On top of that the Starter Kit is great value, packed with wonderful products & business tools.

If you would like more information, no obligation attached, I am happy to meet with you & discuss further. Or if you would like a wider look then you could come along to our next Paper Angels meeting, no cost involved. We don't bite!!! lol
