Craft Fair....

Hello friends,

I wanted to tell you about a craft fair that will take place on 12th March at Warwick Road Activity Center, Porchester Close, West Bletchley. 

I will be there with my Stampin Up products, but there will be lots of different stalls with many different crafts.

Why not come along and see what there is,  you never know you may like something, or at least you could get some inspiration.

It would be great to see as many friends there as possible to celebrate the hard work these people do.


Look forward to seeing as many of you as possible on 12th March

March Frenzy...

Hello All,

Our March promotion has arrived with great discounts on selected items 30% on some of them, So why not take a look at your wish list to see if any are on it as now is a good time to get them...

 

(You can get a better view by clicking on the box in the left hand column)

 You can contact me by telephone or email to place your order.

Scrapbooking classes...

Scapbooking has become very popular in the UK over the past 5 years or so and  I am planning to start my own scrapbooking classes in March, and I would love you to join us in  learning more about this fabulous hobby, you may like to learn new techniques for your pages or need some inspiration, or perhaps you would just like to scrap with like minded people and make new friends. what ever your reason you will always have a warm welcome.

Classes will be on a wednesday evening between 7-10pm. Refreshments will be provided.

If you bring a friend (that has not been before) you can have the class for half price, and if you spend £25 or more from the Stampin Up catalogue (before the class so you can collect it at the class) or you place an order on the day you can also have the class for half price

I will be using  mostly Stampin' Up! products but on the odd occasion I may need to use other items because of the layout I've chosen.

I hope to keep the cost of the class to a minimum but it may vary, so some months it could cost a little more due to the materials used.

I will also be offering this as a stand a lone kit for those that cannot attend the class, in this case there will be a further charge for Post & Package and payment can be made via Paypal or cheque. Please advise me of your payment method when ordering.

HOW DOES IT WORK?
I send you an email confirming your place and letting you know what size and how many photographs you'll need for your class. You then email me your photos by the Monday before the class along with your payment via Paypal, so that I can select complementary colours for you and can prepare your kit.

So all you need to do is send me an email  to get the ball rolling and I will reply by giving you the amount of photo's and if they should be portrait or landscape. If you need me to print your photograph for you that's fine but there will be an extra cgarge of 50p per photo. Payment should be made via Paypal by Monday as well or you can send me a cheque or drop the cash in before the class. Please ask for my address if you wish to post your payment.

So the date for the first Scrapbook class is to be on Wednesday 16th March between 7-10pm.

Hope to see you soon....

This is the best time of the year to join Stampin Up.  The newly reduced starter kit is only £119 and you can choose over £230 worth of products so you are already winning by £120.  AND becuase it's sale-a-bration Stampin are giving you another stamp set of your choice free too.  You can choose any stamp set from the catalogue up to the value of £44.95. That means you can get your hands on £164 worth of free products!!  If you love stamps, you will never run short again and in the first 6 months you can earn 15 free stamp sets of your choice!


You could come and join me and my team of Pink Ladies/Pink Lad and I will give you a little welcome kit too to get you started.  Included is a personalised notebook and pen, a cardstock sample swatch and a 20 page booklet with all the basics to get you started with Stampin Up.

Everyone is welcome to join from hobby demo's who wish to purhcase products for themselves to people focused on earning money and turning their love of crafting into a business.
If you join Stampin Up now you would have till the end of June to reach the £250 quarterly minimum sales target (£250 net = £300 inc VAT) and in April Stampin Up launches the mini catalogue so there will be lots more products you have to have!!

You can swap and change items for the same type but in a different style or colour and I would be happy to send some more information to you or answer any questions you may have.

Spring Solitude and this years Sale-a-bration Whimsical words, sadly both stamp sets are now retired.

Solitude wheel & circle of friends, stamps, paper & ribbon are now retired.

Vintage Vogue, one of my favourite stamp sets for 2010.

Boxed set of 6 cards using Vintage labels Sale-a-bration set for 2010.

I made this picture for good friends Birthday, such a shame the felt flowers were retired.

My Christmas planner using the Tree trimmings, spotlight on Christmas stamp; so swirly wheel.

These were made for a swap and they were very well received.


HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL!

Last minutes Christmas gifts...

 The design of the card was from one of my fellow stampin Up demonstrator Monica Gail, the image is on her blog.

This is a £15 gift voucher that can be redeemed only through me, so if you are stuck for a present to the crafter in your life this may be just what are looking for; It comes in a pretty card ready to hang on the tree and if you need to post it I have included an envelope. The voucher can be of any denomination.

This is a writing set and it includes some decorated sheets of A5 paper, some envelopes to match, a decorated pen and a little holder for postage stamps all put together to make an inexpensive gift for a work colleague or teacher.

This was a plain black diary that has been cover with scrap book papers, a bit of ribbon, some chip board letters and a pretty flower embellishment. Another great gift for a colleague or teacher.


Here is one of the desk calendars that I made a few months ago, this would also make a great littles gift for somebody.

Below is a box of cards, 3" x 3", these would be ideal as a gift again for the teacher or work colleague. They are very sweet!

If you would like any of these gifts email me your choice and the latest date for you to receive them. Any of them can be made in a clour of your choose.


Thanks for looking!

New Catalogue launch...

It has finally arrived, and if you haven't got your copy yet here is the link to the online issue just brimming with lots of fantastic new goodies to fill your wish list, even better why not get in touch and book a workshop and give yourself the opportunity to earn some of these fab goodies, I still have a few dates left for October!

• We have 14 new punches in the new space savour design like the bird punch.

• We have introduced clear mount stamps for those that have space saving issues, they only take up as much room as a DVD but they are still the same great quality you get with all Stampin Up products. And they are a bit cheaper to buy so you can have a bit extra for another stamp set.

• We have some beautiful new colours too, 5 are the new In colours and then there are the 4 newly renovated colour families. All of which I think work so much better with each other. We have also introduced new colour kits to buy to make it easier for you to update your new colour families. click here to see them.

• And then there is the colour coach, such a great tool to help you put colours from any of the families together. It gives you all of the colour families, plus the new in colours and at least 2 colour combinations for each colour. I haven't stopped using mine since I got it and it's worth every penny!

So if your wish list is rather large why not consider joining one of my virtual clubs, there will be spaces starting November. get in touch now to reserve a space and get free goodies while you buy the things you want.

Swaps for the Training Event...

I went to a Stampin Up training event in High Wycombe on Friday and met up with some very talented ladies and swapped my little calendar for some really clever swaps back. quite a few of the swaps were made using items from the new catalogue and they were fab. Sorry to say I am not aloud to show you these until the New Idea Book and Catalogue has launched on the first of October so watch this space!

Being a demonstrator gives you privileges such as being the first to buy some of the new products from the catalogue before it has launched, and I will say this, you will not be disappointed. the catalogue is bigger than last year and has so many new products in it you will not know what to buy first. The new Hostess stamp sets are to die for and I for one will be working hard to get them all.

There are so many benefits to being a demonstrator and the new starter kit is much better than before and it will cost you less too! why don't you get in touch and have in informal chat with no obligation, you may be pleasantly surprised with the outcome.

Or why not contact me to book one of the first workshops with the new catalogue and see what special benefits I can offer you, you won't be disappointed.

I have just received a shipment of the new Idea Book and Catalogue, the usual price for these are £5.95 but you can purchase one from me today for the price of £3 + £1.32 P&P. Use the Paypal button or email me to order yours today and be the first to see the contents, you'll love them!
