Happy stamping,
This week I was the lucky recipient of some beautiful cards instead of the usual bills and junk mail in the letterbox. Many of them were cards from my stamping friends.
It is always such a buzz to receive handmade cards. You can’t help but think about the time the sender spent making that card as well as the care, thoughtfulness and generosity of the maker. It also reminded me of why I love cardmaking as a hobby – and that I *really* should send more cards. I do have a habit of making cards but not getting around to sending them! LOL
And for a little chuckle, below are some gorgeous works of art that my 3 cherubs made – yes even the 2 yr old stamped a birthday card for Mummy. My son’s card is in the middle… he designed his own spring/pop-up card. Not sure if the photo does it justice but when I open the card the pink heart bounces. He even did the writing on the left side of the card so it wouldn’t ‘get in the way’ of the heart. Awwww. Little stampers in the making!
Tomorrow I’ll be back with a very exciting post. A NEW special offer just in time for the festive season… and it’s GREAT!!!!
Happy stamping,

I LOVE making 3D papercraft projects like bags and boxes, totes and tags, ornaments and other objects! So… you can imagine how excited I was when I saw these projects at our recent Melbourne seminar for Stampin’ Up! demonstrators. They were created by some of the amazingly talented demonstrators in my team.
Juliana‘s Bug Wagon had me oohing and aaahing all day! Now, this was a one-off, she tells me (yes, I’ve already asked for the template!) but it just goes to show what you can create with a little imagination.
Here is Maureen‘s Christmas Box, complete with acetate window. Love it!
And continuing along the chocolate theme (*mmm yum*) is Janine‘s very cute surprise Caramello Koala card. On the outside it looks like a cute card….
but open it up and…. "Surprise". A yummy treat peeking through the window.
And below is Shannon’s swap – where origami meets cardmaking. Very clever.
A big highlight at Regionals was meeting my Secret Sister in real life! Jenny Adams (yes, we had the big reveal at the start of October) is the mystery lady who sent me those beautiful hand-crafted works of art that I’ve been sharing here on my blog for the past few months.
And here is the final parcel that she sent me, revealing her identity (see below). It was waiting for us when we got home from the UK. There was even a covered Kikki K To Do list in there. How did she know I LOOOOOVE Kikki K stuff? Thanks Jenny!! You’re the best!
Wow, that was a big post. Hope you got some inspiration from looking at all these cute projects.
Don’t forget, it’s not too late to enrol in the Christmas Card class for this Friday, 30th October. Contact me for more details.
