I've had a busy month with Workshops and Classes keeping me out of trouble!  Watching my Scrapbooking class members working on their pages and seeing the fun they have in trying out new techniques has been really rewarding.  I think they're all as hooked as I am! 

Father's Day gave me the chance to make a card for my dad which hopefully made its way to the UK safely.  I've also been lucky enough to receive several cards this month - there's nothing nicer than receiving a handmade card in the mail and knowing that someone was thinking about you when they made it.  Why not send out a handmade card to a good friend today?

From Stampin' Up! - This month's fantastic offer from Stampin' Up! is when you spend $50  you qualify for 25% off the following Two-Step Stampin' sets:  Petal Prints, All about U  and Treat Yourself. 

From me - Place a $300 catalogue order and receive a free box of Mini Glue Dots as well as the usual hostess benefits.  Mention this offer when placing order. 

Watercolor Wonder Crayons - Everyone who gets the chance to try the crayons agrees that they're gorgeous to work with.  They can be used with the blender pens or aquapainters or direct to paper.  Try applying them to a slightly damp solid stamp image then spritzing with water to get an instant watercolour painted image. 

Can you believe in October Stampin' Up! will have been in Australia for 6 months?What better way to celebrate than to bring out the first Mini Catalogue on October 1st.  As a demonstrator I've had an early preview and I love it.

I am hosting a Mini Catalogue Launch party on Tuesday 26th September from 7pm onwards to let you all see why I am so excited by the new stamps, papers, tools and embellishments.  There will be make and takes, quizzes, prizes of stamp sets, 20% off vouchers, food and alcohol!

If you can't make the party then contact me to book a Workshop or order directly.
