Goodbye 2017…. HELLOOOOOO 2018!

Happy New Year, my friends.

THANK YOU to each and every one of you for sharing the fun and friendship of cardmaking over the past 12 months. I can’t wait to see what other creations we can come up with in 2018.

Today I’m highlighting the most popular image from each month, for the first half of 2017.

P.S. If you have ordered from me during 2017, then you should have received your brand new Occasions Catalogues & Sale-a-bration brochure by now, or if not, then rest assured they are on the way – thanks Australia Post!

Merry Christmas

Published by under cards | Dec 25 2017

Hello my wonderful friends,

Just popping in to wish you all a very Merry Christmas. May you have peace and happiness today, surrounded by those you love in the spirit of giving and loving. Thoughts to those who are missing their loved ones today, and going through personal challenges. I hope the faith, hope and love of Christmas touches you all.

If you join me on my Stamping with Simone facebook page you will have seen that my stamping hand was out of action for part of December (thanks to a run-in with a cat and subsequent surgery), so I made the most of the Merry Little Christmas Memories & More Card Pack to make up cards without stamping. With my ‘wrong’ hand I was able to “trim, stick & embellish” which helped to ease the frustration of not stamping. It certainly helped to turn a challenging situation around.

If I didn’t get to wish you a Merry Christmas in person, here is my virtual card to you… pick your favourite! (click to enlarge)

They were all different and all fun to make.

Merry Little Christmas Memories & More Card Pack - Stampin' Up!

Lot of inky hugs this Christmas,

Simone Bartrum, Stampin' Up! demonstrator Australia, Victoria
