Here are a couple of pictures from my Open Day yesterday...... it was a long but fun day!!

Whilst I was busy chatting with some customers Heidi and her friend Sophie decided that they would have a go at the make and take as well (Heidi usually runs a mile from me and my crafting). fingers crossed that this punch makes it into the European Idea Book and Catalogue later in the...
What a mess???????
Yes I got in a great big mess when I started to play with Stampin' Up!'s new Shimmer Paints....just hope its not got all over the settee!!!Here I have made a card using two of Stampin' Up!'s newest products their "Frost white shimmer" paint and "Rich Razzleberry Card stock" and "Ink" (unfortunately the photo doesn't pick the shimmer up very well). I've also made a matching gift using bits of the Sweet Pea designer paper left over from the card.
Yummy scrummy
Some of the NEW Stampin' Up! colours are now available to purchase as ink pads and card stock as well as some limited items to co-ordinate with them.Sadly the ribbon and papers only while stocks last but I'm sure Stampin' Up! will have new ones in the New Idea Book and Catalogue due out later this year to match these scrummy colours.IF YOU CLICK ON THE PICTURE IT WILL TAKE YOU TO HAVE A CLOSER LOOK.............Which one is your favourite Melon Mambo, Rich Razzleberry or Soft Suede??The whole...

favourites………..
This has to be one of my favourite pictures and my one of my favourite layouts of the weekend.......Lousie taught us how to do this technique with some other stamps but as I had my Stampin' Up! ones with me I chose to use them instead.This is using the Garden Whimsy set, Kraft and Whisper White Cardstock and Bordering Blue Ink... see I told you I got to play with a Stampin' Up! top note die this weekend.......... fingers crossed for the new idea book and catalogue.

Scrapping with Stampin’ Up! as promised
Here are 2 layouts I have used using the new Stampin' Up! Night and Day Specialty Designer papers in the Mini Catalogue the second one also incorporates the Vintage Vogue Stamp set....... As soon as I saw these papers I knew I had to recreate a layout I had done previously with some other black and white papers, unfortunaley it would have taken rather a few brads so I had to sadly use gems from my other stash!! Yes the girls did point out to me that these where not from Stampin' Up! But in the...
