I must first start with sending my most sincere apologies for not having a Feature Stamp of the week for the past 2 weeks. Life has been very busy and I am looking forward to the weekend when it may slow down a little. Fingers Crossed we will be back to normal next week.
One of the many things I have been busy with, in preperation for My MIL 60th Party in a week is a wonderful Scrapbook album featuring all her children and Gran children.
Using the Medallion Stamp inked in Rich Razzleberry and stamped onto Whisper White 12 x 12 Card stock I think this page is very striking while elegant enough for these wonderful formal photo's. I have placed some half diamonte's in the small dots around the medallion and will add a title before adding it to the Album. The Medallion stamp can be a little deceiving to the actual size. It is 12cm in diameter and on the same size block as the Large background stamps.
I wanted to share with you the wonderful Mothers Day projects we made at our Mothers Day Class on Saturday the 8th May. All our mums and girls had a wonderful time and it is fantastic to see so many creative young girls joining there Mum's and enjoying the afternoon.
The Big shot has brought some amazing creations and who would have thought this wonderful little gift box would be made from a Scallop Envelope Die, it just shows you how versatile Stampin Up products can be. We made a set of co-ordinating little note cards and all the Mum' went home with some lovely little gifts, including these very cute Draw Scent's using the Pillow Box Die.
The designer Series Paper used in these creations is Cottage Wall featured in the Autumn Winter Mini catalogue.
14TH MAY 10:30am-1:30pm- By the time this class comes around those that have ordered Big Shots previous to this date will have them in their Hot little Hands and if you don't come and get a Head start for when it arrives. There are so many things you can do with Your Big Shot But in this class we will start with the Basics. Bring your Big shot along with you for a 101 on Big Shot FUN. Morning Tea will be provided. $10 per person attending. RSVP Before 13th May Please.
Mothers Day is going to be upon us at the end of the week and it really does make you think where has the time since Christmas gone..

Its just wonderful to be able to teach some wonderful new techniques and the bold butterfly featured in Flight of the Butterfly is fantastic for the "Kissing" Technique. This wonderful technique involved inking a bold and decorative stamp in 2 different ink colours and bringing them together as 1, imprinting the decorative image onto the bold. For more information on this technique or a lesson on how to perfect this wonderful technique please do not hesitate to call me. you can see this technique on the butterfly as pictured on this card on the top left hand side. I have teamed this card with the beautiful Bella Rose Designer series paper.
My Feature Stamp Set for this week has been Flight of the Butterfly, using this set I have made a little set of assorted Big shot gifts using the Fancy Favour Die, Top Note Die and Pillow Box Die. I have teamed these together with some Beautiful Bella Rose Designer Series Paper to make a gift collection for Mum she would just have to have. Including Gift/Note Cards that fit into this very elegant Gift box and a wonderful Little pillow box to fill with her favourite Chocolates, Treats or even Jewellery.

The very cute coordinating note cards measuring 3 x3" each is a great way to use all those little bits you have left after making other cards and Scrap booking pages, This little bag will hold 6 notecards I have made 2 of each design. These are just perfect to use as a Gift tag or Wonderful for children to give to their friends.

Many of you would know Robert and Jacob were participating in the Salvaltion Army Winter appeal Charity ride and what a Fantastic time they had. I asked for donations of tinned food to be brought along to the Newcastle Mini Release party and you were all so generous. The boys had a big Stampin Up box full of Tinned foods to take in to the drop off zone in Newcastle. I wanted to share the pictures I took of them but promise I will have them scrapbooked for all to see as soon as the kids are back to school..
