*** Blog Candy Now Closed***

Hi there,

Hope you've all had a lovely weekend and your start to the New Year has been a good one.

To celebrate the anniversary of becoming a UK Stampin' Up! Demonstrator and blogging my creations for the past year, I thought I'd share some Blog Candy from me to you.



Blog Candy includes:

• Level 1 Hostess Stamp Set from the 2008-09 IBC - "Best Yet", set of 6 stamps, sentiments include: a very merry christmas to you, to you from me, a little something for a little someone, the BEST is yet to be, just BECAUSE i Care and so Glad we're friends.
• Certainly Celery 5/8" Poly Twill Ribbon - 10 yards.
• Patterns Designer Series Paper - Certainly Celery (retired). 12 sheets: 2 each of 6 double-sided designs.
• Exclusive Stampin' Up! Shopping Tote Bag - which was sold at the first European Convention and no longer available to buy. The bag is big enough to fit lots of your crafting stash along with 12x12 papers. The design is taken from the Circle Circus stamp set that is available in the current Idea Book & Catalogue.
  

All the above goods are brand new and have not been used.

To be entered into the random draw taking place on Wednesday 3rd February, you must be a UK resident, simply leave a comment and link to your own blog to spread the word about my Blog Candy (if you have one, only one entry per person please), and if you'd like to become a follower, click a button or two, which would be appreciated :)

Good luck! This offer will end on Wednesday 3 February at 7pm. I will contact the winner this evening for their details and will post the goodies out on Thursday 4 February.

Bye for now,

Alex

Passion For Promarkers Challenge

Hi all,

Hope you're well and having a good week so far. I recently christened some of my cute Magnolia stamps that I bought *cough* back in December, and thought I'd use my Promarkers and give them a go with these cards.

I made two cards recently, in two different colour combos for a couple of friends and thought I'd post them now that it's safe to do so :) Thank you Aimes for suggesting I enter the first one in the Passion For Promarkers Challenge - Week 14 - A Passion For Purple, good idea!

I really enjoyed using this new stamp of mine and can't wait to stamp and colour more in the near future. Hope you like:



Stamps: Hostess Level 1 - Best Yet, Simply Said. Non-SU: Magnolia "Standing Fall Tilda".
Cardstock: Perfect Plum, Almost Amethyst, Whisper White, Pixie Pink, Close To Cocoa and Chocolate Chip.
Ink Pad: SU Almost Amethyst and Close To Cocoa. Versamark Stamp Pad and Memento Tuxedo Black.
Accessories: SU Scallop Circle Punch, 1 3/8" Circle Punch, 1 1/4" Circle Punch. Promarkers in various colours. Paper Shapers - Large Corner Rounder Punch.

Have a good day.

Bye for now,

Field Training Day - What a lot of lovely cards!

Hi all,

As promised here is a picture of all the swap cards I received from Friday's Field Training Day. As you can see there are a variety of styles and layouts, colours and stamp sets used.


These three cards below are the Make & Takes that we made during Field Training Day. How lucky were we - we each received a brand new stamp set called "Forest Friends" so that we could make our Make & Take cards! What a lovely surprise!!! :) This set is available to buy from the Mini Catalogue from Wednesday 1 April. The new striped grosgrain ribbon is so soft and gorgeous! What a lot of fun we had that evening :)

You can click on the left hand side to view the new Mini Catalogue as a pdf file. Or email me if you'd like a personal copy to flick through in your leisure.


Bye for now,

Alex
