Had a good time at the summer festival today, thankfully the weather was good, although it did get blowy towards the end, so again I had to hold on to things to stop them blowing away.  Tomorrow is Wimborne Market, and an early start too, eeeek!  Hoping it will be a productive day and some of my cards sell.  This is one of the cards that will be available for sale:

Its another one using a stamp from Posy Punch for the flowers, stamped using Perfect Plum ink.  I like these stamps, they are easy to cut round :)

 The sentiment is from Happiest Birthday Wishes, again.  I do like this set, lots of birthday sentiments to choose from, which is good.

Plum tuckered out I am from all that fresh air today, don't know if I will last out til Casulty (if it is on this evening, at the moment its the tennis with Andy Murray).  So it will probably be an early night for me tonight, ready for an early morning tomorrow.  Have a good evening all :)

Pin It

Morning all :)  Got a busy day today, lots happening.  Preparing for a Summer Festival tomorrow and praying that the weather picks up.  The festival is at Sheiling School, in Ringwood, its free and open to one and all, so pop on down.  Also this weekend, George is off to cadet camp and we still have a few bits to pick up for him.  Its raining out there (yuk) and dark and horrid, where has our summer gone?  So I thought today's card should be bright and sunny :)

The stamped flowers are from the hostess stamp set, Posy Punch, which is a fab set to get with your hostess pounds.  They were stamped using Calypso Coral, which I think is one of my favourite colours, very in at the moment.

 The sentiment is from Happiest Birthday Wishes again (I do love that stamp set), another hostess stamp set in the main catalogue.

Its nearly the end of the month, get your order in by the end of June for reduced rate of £1.50 shipping, or free if you come and collect from me :)  

Wish me luck going out in that wild and windy weather today.  Hope you all have a good day and see you soon.

Snow is on its way (apparently)

Today we went to London to meet some home educating facebook friends at the Science Museum.  We love the Science Museum, there is so much to see there.  George seems to find something different every time we go and we have decided that we need to go back again soon.  We then had to get back home in time for George to go to Army Cadets as he was being tested this evening for his one star, so haven't really stopped at all much until now.  Tomorrow we have plans to go to the Navy Museum in Portsmouth, but the forecast is for snow, so won't know until early tomorrow morning if we will be able to get there or not :-(  Well, I guess if we don't go, I'll have more time to make more cards :-) (plus a little play in the snow if it settles here).


Today's card is one that I made for swaps at our last demonstrator meet up:

For this one I used the Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder and the flower stamp comes from the hostess gift stamp set, Posy Punch, which I love, well worth having a workshop for the treats you get from being a hostess :-)  Not forgetting that it is Sale-A-Bration at the moment too, so more extra free things, AND the Spring Mini Catalogue giving extra choice of what to buy.  Stampin' Up! are definitely spoiling us at the moment :-)

One of my creations to share:

Well, its been ages since I've posted any of my creations, so thought I would do that today.  I have been a busy bee getting stock together for upcoming markets after a stock take showed that cards have been quietly selling quite well and I hadn't many left.  The card below uses stamps from three different stamp sets, the stem is from For Everything, the flower is from the hostess gift set, Posy Punch, and the sentiment is also from a hostess set, Happiest Birthday Wishes.  I love the ribbons that Stampin' Up! have in their catalogue, they are such good value for money and good quality too.  I'm still using the stash that my lovely Stampin' Up! mummy gave me as a pressie for joining :-)

I'm really excited about Sale-A-Bration :-D because it means free gifts.  It is the perfect time to think about hosting a workshop because during S-A-B, along with the usual hostess benefits, if the workshop generates more than £300 in sales, you, the hostess, would also qualify for a free exclusive S-A-B product too.  Please contact me for further information about booking your workshop with me :-)
