Hi friends,

How has 2019 been for you? It has been a full-on year for our family, with my youngest starting high school and my oldest going off to university. I even picked up a part-time job at the start of 2019 which has given me the opportunity to develop all kinds of new skills. My 3 kids continue to amaze me with their achievements, but more importantly I’ve loved seeing their independence grow. This of course comes with mixed feelings, as any mother of teens will understand! Change is the only constant in life, as the saying goes. They are definitely growing up.

My Stampin’ Up! business continues to be my main focus work-wise and one that I love even after 12 wonderful years. Monthly stamp clubs are still going strong here in Creswick/Ballarat, with technique clubs and workshops all over the region.

Due to strong interest and increasing numbers, I’m adding a new monthly stamp club session in 2020! So we’ll now offer the following classes:

• Monday 1pm-2.30pm
• Thursday 2.30-4pm and
• Saturday 10am-11.30am

Now is the perfect time for new members to sign up for the coming year, but I’m also opening this to casual class attendees for $15 per class (space permitting) if you need a bit more flexibility.

It warms my heart that people still love to gather and craft together, especially when I see the amazing connections that happen around the crafting table. I truly believe that the need to connect and share experiences is a need that will always be here, just as it has for generations before us.

In October I hosted my first full day retreat at the local RSL hall. All attendees got the fabulous Most Wonderful Time product medley box, a full trestle table to work on for the day, fully catered with yummy food and homemade slices, and also a stack of make & takes.

It was such a brilliant day, and I’ll definitely be holding more classes there again in 2020, with the first one being on Saturday February 15 (you’re hearing it here first!). Message me to express your interest or stay tuned for more info.

A few weeks ago I went to Sydney for a Stampin’ Up! event where we got our hands on the NEW upcoming Mini Catalogue (yes, it’s had a name change and has gone back to what we called it many years ago) and also Sale-a-bration brochure. At well over 50 pages it’s not exactly ‘mini’ but I guess it is compared to the big annual catalogue! There are sooooo many fabulous new products to keep us inspired and creating, I can’t wait for you to see it. If you have purchased through me in the past year, keep an eye on your letterbox for your complimentary catalogues. They are being posted from Sydney on 6th December. Exciting!

Our annual awards and recognitions were also announced in recent weeks and I was thrilled and delighted (and a little shocked!) to again earn a Top 25 Australia Overall spot, in addition to awards in sales, team growth and leadership. Thank you so much to my valued customers and team members.

So, what can you expect from me in 2020?

As your creative coach and Stampin’ Up! demonstrator, I hope I have something to offer everyone…

• ONLINE: Online shop open 24/7 so you can stock up on your craft supplies at a time and place that suits you
• BY MAIL: Sign up for my quarterly YCCI packs so you can create along with our international team of demonstrators. Packs are delivered to your door on a quarterly basis for $25 including postage.
• IN PERSON: Monthly stamp clubs for signed-up members, casual classes for $15, workshops to earn host rewards, monthly craft days for team members. All in Central Victoria, Australia.
• CRAFT SHOWS: Visit me in person at Ballarat CraftAlive 3-5 April 2020, Australia. Save the date!

Well that’s all from me today. If you got to the end, well done! Leave me a comment below to say hello and so I can wish you a very Merry Christmas.

Happy stamping, 

Can you believe we are in the final month of December already?

I still can’t get over how fast this year has gone. But the good thing about a new month is that we have a brand new YCCI (You Can Create It – International) Challenge to share with you.

Our subscribers had a fun packet to create with during November…

It included a half A4 sheet of thick Vanilla cardstock and a couple of 4×6 inch panels of the gorgeous Brightly Gleaming designer series paper and some Star Designer Elements too.

This is what I created…

This is a simple card, but a fabulous way of using up your favourite Christmas papers.

All you need to do is cut a panel slightly smaller than the base card, then use a die to curve the bottom edge (I used a die from In The Woods). Then add a jumping deer from the Detailed Deer dies set.

Detailed Deer is not new to Stampin’ Up! – it’s been in the annual catalogue for a year or so now – but it’s still one I reach to quite often. Truly gorgeous!

The inside of the card is decorated simply with the cut-off corner from the front. The extra paper decorates the envelope.

Every month a little packet of papercraft supplies becomes the basis of our challenge with the You Can Create It – International (YCCI) team. Our mission is to turn those elements into a card, or gift packaging, or some other finished project.

The October kit included:

• 2 pieces of 4″ x 6″ Come To Gather designer series paper
• half A4 sheet of Mint Macaron cardstock (21cm x 14.8cm)
• half A4 sheet of Whisper White cardstock (21cm x 14.8cm)
• 50cm Braided Linen Trim

Extra supplies were included in the quarterly kit but I only used the Shimmery Crystal Effects on my card. Other items included a A4 sheets of Pretty Peacock and Night of Navy cardstock, white and vanilla envelopes, and a sheet of Thick Whisper White cardstock.

I’m so excited that this was my first quarter of sending out these packs to my lucky YCCI subscribers. I only had a limited number available for this first offering, and they all sold!

If you were one of the lucky ones to get a bundle, I’d love to see what you made! For inspiration, just scroll on down and see what our international design team made with these same supplies.

If you are interested in adding your name to the list for the Jan-March mail out, let me know by email here.

Come to Gather Card

This is the card I made with the supplies in my pack. Just a cute and simple card, with a Mint Macaron base and the pattern pieces from the Come to Gather Designer Series Paper pack.

I also used the stamps and dies from the sweet Friend Like You bundle, which includes the Friend Like You stamp set and the Friendly Silhouettes dies. Inks used were Merry Merlot and versamark.
