Classic Stars - Card & Sneek Peek

When completing our scrap booking pages we always have lots of little bits "left-over". And this is great, only what do we do with them. Well using all the left over pieces cut off and punched out from my Double Scrap booking page posted Yesterday, I have made this wonderful Card. It just shows you how versatile the Stamps and Punches are. A couple of punches and 1 wheel can create you beautiful pages for your album and Cards for your loved ones.

Lovely as a Tree - Scrap Booking Page

I love this Wonderful Designer Series paper from the Tall Tales DSP pack. I started the page stamping the big leaf from the Lovely as a Tree stamp set and although in the photo it is very difficult to see hidden behind the Photo's it just takes the real plain background away. I love the Circle Scissor for cutting large circles for your scrapbook pages. On this page is a little Sneek Peek of something New.
If your NOT a demonstrator and would like to take a guess at knowing what it is leave a comment with what you think it might just be, I will pick a winner and have a little something in the mail to you to acknowledge your wisdom.....

Anyone wondering what the Yellow strap is doing up the tree?? Well according to my expert tree climbers that's going to stop them from ALL falling out our very sad looking Fangipani tree.

Lovely As A Tree - Fun Card

I love these tree's and think they work fantastic as a background to a character card. I made this card for a friend who drives a Ute and he thought it was pretty great. I used some looped ribbon in the back of the Ute. The Ute and the very cute little people driving belong to the Loads of Love Stamp Sets.

Helping Mummy....

I just had to share this moment with you. This is Zac my number 4 baby boy (10 months old). I found him enjoying the Fun and excitement a Big Stampin Up box can bring. Whats IN IT is LOTS of FUN for Mummy, the box provides even more fun for Zac so mummy can play with what was in it.

Who thought babies needed expensive toys and entertainment.....

Imagine the fun he could have with stamps and an Ink Pad!!

Another Customer Creation from the wonderful Pam , I love this Tall Tales Designer Series paper. It is in the Current Summer Mini which will be discontinued come the 1st of April. Don't forget Until this Sunday you can receive 10% OFF all Summer Mini Products.

I must admit I looked at this paper in the pack and thought what will I use that for but this is just wonderful.

Thanks again for Sharing Pam.

Designer Series paper - Scrapbooking page

Over the last few weeks I have had a few scrap booking pages on each week to give you inspiration when playing with all the sets available. Every page has featured Designer Series Paper. I love the fact that everything co-ordinates with Stampin Up, DSP, Card stock A4 and 12 x 12 and Ink, Ribbon. Everything.

I am yet to add a title to this page and you will notice many of my pages will get posted minus a title but that's because I like to wait to find the right words or sentiment for a page. Once it's there, it's there forever.

I will have a NEW Sneek Peek up over this weekend, with whats to come I think you will be happy!!!!

Designer Series Paper-Quick Cards.

I am sure we have all been in the situation where we needed a Card but didn't have time to stamp. Well this card took less time then it would take you to find your keys and put the kids in the car. A piece of Urban Garden Designer Series Paper (any size you have left over) a quick scallop border and a Sentiment stamped on the front and you have a card ready to go. It shows just how versatile these DSP can be, Boxes, Cards and Scrap booking pages the list is endless. Watch on this week as I show you more you can do with the DSP.

Designer Series Paper- Customer Creations

I am really loving all these wonderful cards you ladies have been sending me and it would be great to see lots more, If you are coming along to either of the NEW MINI PREVIEW EVENTS please bring a card or 2 or even a scrap booking page you have made using Stampin' Up Stamps, Paper or Ribbons.

Designer Series Paper Sneek Peek

I am totally in love with this very cute little box. I have been having so much FUN with it and you can to, HINT HINT...

I have been again playing with the Crazy for Cupcakes Stamp Set and think this Tea Party Designer Series Paper (DSP) looks wonderful with these very cute little cakes.

A Good Egg- Quick Easter cards

I often need to have a mass production session and make a large number of cards that look lovely but are quick to make. I love these cards and think there great for kids to help out with to. I made approx 50 of these last year to send to family, friends and customers. I changed the colour of the card and ribbon to add a little variety but still a quick and nice card to make. Watch tomorrow for a Sneek peak of whats to come......

A Good Egg - Easter Card

Well I have been neglecting all thing domestic this week to give you lots of wonderful Easter Idea's to get you ready for the Chocolate season... I love the wonderful Easter Egg in this set. You will be surprised how many people ask you how did you get that Egg so perfect. "Tell them, Shhhhhh it's a secret.....". I also pulled out my Favourite tool and used my crimper along the bottom. I tend to forget to use girlie things like, Diamante Brads and buttons, with all the boys in my life it seems to not be a happening thing. But I promise you will start to see more of these very cute little embellishments to my cards and pages. I have used the Scallop oval Punch on this card. This punch is not pictured in the Main catalogue but is available for $30.95.

A Good Egg - Customer Creation Scrap booking Page

A big Thank you to Kristy for sending this page she completed at a Easter Scrap booking workshop. Kristy has 2 girls (and a very cute little boy) so changed the page to make it more girlie... I love the way you can take 1 scrap booking layout and change things to just suit your needs.
Thank You Kristy I love it...

A Good Egg- Scrapbooking Page

I had a play with this wonderful Set while Scrapbooking My Easter Photo's from last Year. Harry thought all the Chocolate was wonderful. I have put a little peep hole, in one of the Eggs and behind the circle is a little chicken in it's egg. This set co-ordinates with the Egg Hunt Standard Wheel, which I have wheeled along the top of the page. Check back tomorrow as Kristy has made the same page with a Girly version of it. It looks lovely and Very Cute.

A Good Egg - With Crimper.

I love this little chicken and thought I would team him up with this very cute Kaleidoscope Designer Series Paper. I received the Crimper for my Birthday and have been having lots of with it, I have used it to crimp the white strip across the middle of the card to add some texture and depth to the card. I punched the chicken out with the 13/8" Punch and then placed him on a scallop circle Punch.

I will be back with more A Good Egg Inspirations tomorrow.
