Baby Card with Fox and Friends

Hello,

I had a  lovely day with 5 lovely ladies at class yesterday, thank-you ladies for coming along! I really enjoyed the day.

If you would like to come along to a class next year then please see THIS page for the updated class list for 2012! Eek! 2012 eh??!

Anyway, I have another baby card for you today using the very sweet Fox and Friends, this is so cute for bay cards, as you can see this one is for the proud grandparents :-D 

I have used a colour combo of pretty in pink and crumb cake along with the necessary bling :-)

pretty in pink satin bow, there is a bow tying video tutorial in my side bar >>>

and a little giraffe inside to finish with the same eyelet border punch

Well, that's it for today.

I hope you have enjoyed today's card, back tomorrow with some more cardy goodness :-)

Stampin' hugs for today,

Zack's Invites

Hello,

Yesterday was Zack's 7th birthday! Where did that time go?? So today I will share with you the simple invites I made for him to give to his friends who are coming on Friday for birthday tea, we did the whole family and non-school friends yesterday, phew! He had a fab day tho and didn't want to got to bed as it would be over! Bless! I will share his card and cake and candle blowing out tomorrow...

So, the invites, I made 2 of each using Fox and Friends

Background card is Wild Wasabi and Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder

and I even stamped the envelopes, such a shame I wrote the wrong day on them isn't it?? Doh!!!!!!! Had to go round and tell the parents this morning ;-)

and all together

Right, that's me, I have to prep for next weeks Christmas Stamp-a-Stack, I have just one space left, message me now to reserve your spot!

Stampin' Hugs for today,

Just Hanging Around and some VERY Exciting News

Good Morning,

How's your week going? I know it's very quiet at home now the kids are back at school! is that good or bad?? Well, we had a lovely break at home all together, I love the holidays, but I suppose it means when they are at school there is time to get on with some jobs... so I suppose that means I will get used to it again, it's just the balance of things eh?
Anyways, onto the card, this is the final card we made at last weeks class, it proved to be quite a popular one this one and it uses all scrummy new products from the mini, (if you would like a copy then please email me or click on the picture in the side bar to see it online) Right, back to the card,



Branch is from the bird punch (same as yesterday, but different ;-)) Paper is Sweet Pea DSP,



Treat Cups filled with Foam Bananas (not SU! lol!)



Monkey from Fox and Friends stamp set, the topper was sprayed with Champagne shimmer (shimmer paint mixed with alcohol, for more details please email me) and a small piece of striped Old Olive ribbon, which is main catty, ooops! not all mini stuff after all, but mostly ;0)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So, onto my Exciting News!
I will be demoing SU! at the Southampton Papercraft Show!! It's on the 5th June, 10.30-3.30, at St James Methodist Church Hall in Shirley, near Southampton. I will link the map and let you know all the details as soon as I know more! I really hope you will stop by and say "Hi" I would LOVE to meet some of my blogging buddies in the flesh, so to speak x

Well, that's all for today the only thing I have left to say is Thanks for stopping by, do leave a comment if you have time I love to know who has stopped by,
Bye for now, Hugs Sarah-Jane xx

What a weekend!

Hello folks,

***WARNING! veeery long post, grab a cuppa!***
Well, I have had so much fun this last weekend! Saturday I went up to Reading to meet up with my fellow demos *waves* we had a great day catching up, learning tips and sharing, it was, as always hugely inspiring. If you would like to be a part of this wonderful family then please get in touch for a chat, email in side bar.

So, the first thing we all do when we meet up is swap! I love it, fresh new ideas with stamps you have and great samples with stamps you have on your wish list ;0)

For my swaps I used lots of products from the fabby new mini catalogue, these products will be available from 1st April {{can't wait}}

Stamp used here is from a set called Fox and Friends-so sweet, I inked the stamp with some of the great new shimmer paint **YAY** and I punched him out with the full heart punch --only available 'till the end of MARCH otherwise you'll have to wait 'till October! {and don't forget my special prize draw for March too! see top post} and finally some yummy new DSP called Sweet Pea- something in that for everyone, other items used were word window punch, 1+3/4" circle punch, paper piercer & mat and a Basic Phrases stamp for the sentiment.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Now, the next thing I am about to show you was my entry for something called Demos Choice, it is a competition where we as demos make something, it can be cards, 3d items etc. and all the demos vote for their favourite. Sadly I didn't win...

I decided to make a set of 4 cards using my new stamp set (which I earned for free as a demo, ask me how) called True Friend, I wanted to used the Soft Subtles colour family and make them all slightly different, so I inked the stamp using my markers and changed each of the backgrounds too :0) There is another sneak peek in these too, can you spot it???

and here they are as a set,

[the sneak is the great new dot dot background stamp]

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Finally from me today here are a few piccies of the lovely ladies who I spent most of the day with as we were sat together on the same table ***Hello Ladies xxx***

Phew, well thanks for staying with me, I hope you liked my peek into the wonderful world of being a demo?

Please do come back tomorrow for a special card for a special lady,

Bye for now, hugs Sarah-Jane xxx
