MERRY CHRISTMAS

Hope you all have a wonderful Christmas. Thought I'd share one final Christmas card with you for this year. It was CASEd from the lovely Linda. Now when I CASE something I usually change around the colours, stampsets or something, but this time I didn't - it is practically identical - woops, though I'm sure she won't mind.

I also drew thr lucky FF (Freebie Friday) winner today - thanks to all who entered & congrats to 'kylie'. Send me an email with the small Stampin' Up! punch of your choice along with your address & I will post your goodies too you. If you don't have a catalogue you can view the punch range here.

FREEBIE FRIDAY.........

Not Freakie Friday it's FREEBIE FRIDAY! If you would like to be in with a chance of winning a small Stampin' Up! punch (your choice) all you need to do is leave me a comment or email me alana@aussiebroadband.com.au - preferably with something nice to say - haha. If you have any suggestions of what you think I should have up for grabs next Friday let me know. Sam will draw out a name on Christmas Eve & I will contact the winner to find out which punch you would like.

Sleigh Full of Toys

At every Stampin' Up! demonstration I have a free make-and-take project that everyone completes - this is a card we made at a demonstration my SIL hosted a while ago. It is a CASE from SCS - I really love that place! We had so much fun making it - the little circle spins around to show a different pic on the other side - very cute IRL.
If you & your friends would like to make a free project to take home, give me a call or email me to book a demonstration - during Jan/Feb can also earn some great extra free stamp sets with Stampin' Up! Sale-a-bration.

Check back tomorrow to find out another way you can get something for nothing - well not technically nothing, but it won't cost you anything!

Some Christmas Cards

There is still over a week till Christmas & already things are starting to get hectic here!! Two 6hr trips to the cardiologist this week, but finally the doctors have decided Bernie (my husband) has a heart (he he) & it is fine!
I made these cards awhile ago, but thought I'd share them with you until I get a chance to make some new things. I have used the beautiful City of David stamp set on all of them, along with some of my favourite Stampin' Up! products - the Stampin' Write Markers & blender pens. I splurged & bought the whole set of markers & am so glad I did, I use them all the time & by colouring direct to the stamp, it means I have all 48 ink colours without having to buy all the stamp pads (although I am starting to get quite a good collection of those too!)

The cards below were made for an Inklings Team Cyberstamp last week. One of our challenges was to make a 'one layer card'. One sheet of card only, no patterned paper allowed, though we could add brads or ribbon. I am quite happy with how these turned out & it was so easy, so I will be trying out some more One Layer Cards again soon!

Stampin' on candles

I have seen these around alot so thought I'd have a go - & they were sooooooo easy. I only bought a couple of candles at first to see if I could make them (I was prepared to fail!!) but have gone back today to get some more :).

I am going to run a class on these in the new year - so keep a look out for more info or send me an email to find out more - alana@aussiebroadband.com.au

Enchanted scrapbooking............

For anyone attending the workshop at Francis house this Sat, here is a pic of the scrapbook page we will be creating.

We will be using the new Enchante papers, Carte Postale & Leaves a la Carte stamps & wide grosgrain ribbon - these are all products available from the new Summer mini catalogue, that you can view online here. I will also have a Plum version available to make too.

New Summer Mini Catalogue

From 1st Dec to 31st March 2008 the new Stampin' Up! Summer Mini will be on sale. There are some really great sets & designer series paper available & I have been having lots of fun playing with a couple of them. I also really love the new WIDE grosgrain ribbon, it is lovely.

These two cards use Au Chocolat DSP & Carte Postale stamp set.

This next card uses an image from a main catalogue stamp set, Sassy Stems, but I have used some of the new Enchante DSP. Theses papers are gorgeous & also match with the Carte Postale stamp set.

If you would like a new Summer mini catalogue, send me an email - alana@aussiebroadband.com.au & I will pop one in the post.
