Beautiful You

Stampin' Up! Spring/Summer catalogue is just bursting with wonderful products. Its so difficult to choose your favourite BUT I have to say that Beautiful You (p24 # 143004 on woodblock mounts, 143637 in clearmount) is a stunner. In todays class we teamed with the Mediterranean Moments (p 29 # 143188 on wood, # 143191 in clear), did some very easy masking and water colouring and hey presto! Fabulous.

Our next project (after coffee and cake of course!) was this beauty......

We made it using the

Birthday Blast Bundle - page 11 in the Seasonal Catalogue order number 144715 in woodmount, 144716 in clear mount. As you can see we really did Blast It with three sprays of stars and used the lovely coordinating stamp to decorate the envelope.

isn't it nice to get "Happy Mail" with a pretty envelope - especially cheering on these dull days of January and February.

Bookmarking your Favourites

 Its a very odd time, this gap after Christmas but before Spring really starts. Don't you agree? Its often a time for planning and organising and I think you can see what I have been planning! Yes! The perfect reading material on a chilly day has got to be the Stampin Up! seasonal catalogue together with its Big Sister - the annual catty and its fab little sister the SAB.

Let me tell you a bit about the SAB....it stands for Sale-A-Bration and features the FREE - yes FREE (worth shouting out twice) goodies that you can get for every £45 you spend from either of the two other catalogues during January, February and March.

I made some bookmarks to help mark where my favourites are and featured the funky chicken (isn't that a dance?) from the FREE Hey Chick stampset (# 143328 p 17). We have 6 hens at home and I think I will be decorating up the cute 4 place mini egg cartons (# 142776 p18 Seasonal catty) to give fresh eggs as little gifts. My baking friends tell me that our happy hens lay lovely eggs and they always happy to have some. That led me on to adding "Perfect Mix" stamps (p 35 Seasonal catty) to my wish list since it features all things baking. with those two and a pack or two of card I will be eligible to pick another FREE item from the SAB catalogue ....hmmm..... "Avant Garden" stamps (p5)? or another pack of "Carried Away" paper (I've used up the first one I got - its gorgeous!)

Do you need catalogues to help you browse and choose? I can send you all three - just drop me a line.

Oh - and how could I forget - during SAB Stampin' Up! have a fantastic joining offer - you can choose £130 worth of goodies from either catalogue and only pay £99 And you can chose two stamps sets from either catty FREE - yes I'll shout it again - FREE. Now that really is a great offer. Phone me! Text me! Email me! Send a pigeon! Lets talk about it......
