It was such a fun card our stamp club groups are making this one in February, along with a couple of other cards.
Hearts aren’t just for Valentines Day! So far we have turned this card into a birthday card, ‘my heart is with you’ card and a Thinking of You card just by changing the sentiment.
The NEW Mini Catalogue is officially live and Sale-a-bration has begun. Our favourite time of the year, and the BEST time to shop Stampin’ Up! or join our amazing community.

A very warm welcome back for 2020. I still can’t believe we are even saying ‘twenty twenty’! Crazy that’s it’s already 2 decades since the turn of the millennium.
But here we are, and we’re welcoming in the new year with the final YCCI (You Can Create It – International) Challenge from the previous quarter.
Our subscribers had a fun packet to create with during December…
It also uses some Whisper White cardstock (for the inside) and a Night of Navy card base – both of which were included in the ‘extra items’ for our YCCI subscribers.
It was a little tricky stamping on the vellum, so I covered the stamped sentiment with clear embossing powder then heat set it. This ensured that the Navy ink wouldn’t run on the vellum.
And here is another idea. This card was actually the monthly kit I sent out to team members in September, but it uses the same supplies.

It’s been a while since I popped in for a little chit-chat and to let you know what’s happening in my corner of the world. So today’s the day. A blogging version of the ‘Christmas letter’.
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?
