A Flirtatious question!

I met some lovely ladies on Saturday and we had a great time playing with some of the new Stampin' Up products. Thank you to Jacqueline for a fabulous day.


One question that came up was about the card on page 120. What was the 'doily' made from? Well, it stumped me for a bit and bugged me as it had to be something from the catalogue! I asked some other demo's what they thought, and they confirmed what I thought it was.


It is actually the underside from one of the laser cut sheets in the Flirtatious papers set. ( 122360)


So the moral of that story is, always look on the other-side of your papers even if you think there is nothing there to make any use of!

I thought nobody was out there!

I have been informed that Blogger is being naughty at the moment and not letting anyone comment!  Hey , just my luck, first time I ask peeps to leave comments and it wont play ball, bad Blogger. 

So if you don't mind having another stab at it that would be great. 

 If it does  not work I will except emails, so 'follow me' and send me an email to be in with a chance of winning some yummy 12 x 12 papers from Stampin' Up!

Closing date 11/11/11

Win a selection of Stampin' Up! papers..............

Start following my blog, place a comment and you could win a selection papers!!

Stampin' UP! papers are high quality. The scrapbooking papers are exceptionally fine quality. If you have never experienced Stampin' UP! papers the Timeless Portrait  paper pack is an excellent starting point. Stampin' UP! designer series papers are ACID-FREE and LIGNIN-FREE. 

Sneak peaks....

As promised some pictures! They are only sneak peaks, I have been beavering away making samples for some up and coming parties and I don't want to give too much away.

I will say that I have fallen in love with the re-inkers. We have got a fabulous choice of colours now ( previously I think it was only black). I have been mixing a few drops with water and spritzing them! The best bit is they are only £2.75 a bottle!!! A gloriously, inexpensive way to get a collection of sprays together. I just need to find some more spraying bottles......

Drum roll please.....The 2011-2012 Stampin' Up catalogue has landed..................



Please click on the catalogue on the side bar to see the fabulous goodies on offer.

Wow,  I have spent ages drooling over the new goodies and I have found it very hard to choose the items I would like to showcase my samples with.  I have been beavering away (soooo wish I had more time to play)making cards with the new colours that are available and I will pop a couple of cards on here tomorrow (after work)  for your delectation;)

I am thrilled to let you know that the hostess benefits have changed and below is the table of how it works.

Basically, once you hit sales over £150 you start earning hostess pounds that you can spend ANYWHERE in the catalogue OR choose from a specially selected selection of stamp sets at discounted prices!  We are spoilt for choice me thinks!

See you tomorrow, toodles x
