Stampin Up workshop

Now that i've realised how easy it is to blog from my phone I really have no excuses for leaving it so long between postings!

I did a Stampin Up workshop at Chris's house this week and as she likes scrapbooking I designed a page for her. I was pleased to have got so many techniques in one page but I think I underestimated how much time it would take. Still, everyone was very happy with their finished pages despite thinking they'd never finish.

Fathers day

As I know my dad likes it when I go to the effort to make things I thought i'd try and make a really unique fathers day gift for him, this is what I came up with. I hope he likes it as it turned out a bit more pinky than planned!

Jewellery holder

I made another jewellery holder the other week with mocha morning specialty papers and have only just got round to taking a picture of it!

I even managed to make some jewellery pieces with resin and incorporated some Stampin up paper.

Stampin up

I've been so tired today that I've struggled to even get crafty bits done, but I have been doing a few Stampin up bits this weekend. Made this gorgeous little book yesterday at Hayley's which holds 8 little note cards

I also made some freebies to entice people to book parties with me

And then covered a notebook for a friend :)

So not too bad considering I slept half the weekend!

Stampin Up demonstrator choice

I signed up as a Stampin Up demonstrator in October. I'm absolutely loving their stamps and papers, can't believe I've been missing out for so long. They are such great quality and make gorgeous cards. So far I have just managed to run parties for friends, but still looking for my first party for someone else to host!

Today I had my first quarterly stampin up training with my upline's upline and could take along a project to enter into the demonstrators choice competition. As the training involved making jewellery charms from the spring catalogue I decided to make a jewellery holder. I took a piece of MDF and covered in paper from the timeless portrait designer paper, punched out flowers and die cut butterflies from regal rose patterned paper and decorated. I used mini cotton reels and covered with paper and antique brads.

I took my jewellery holder along today and was so chuffed as I came first in demonstrator of choice. There were some such lovely projects I couldn't believe it. So I have ideas people like so now all I need is to find some lovely customers to host parties and share them with all :)

Sew roll

I decided to finally get round to sewing this sew roll over the christmas break, I've been meaning to do it for so long and very pleased with it, although it did takes hours!
