Last Post

So this is the last post on this blog. I have moved everything over to Wordpress. Here's the link to the new blog: http://www.maximpact.wordpress.com/ I've even posted some new creations. If you happen to read my blog via a reader, please update with my new address.



Thanks for all your support and I'll see you over at the new blog.

Don't you LOVE new stuff???

Now that we're back to Friday Night Football, I'm back to stamping.  I got my order of brand, spanking new Stampin' Up! stuff on Thursday, so it was an ideal time to play.  This is what I came up with. 



Well, this actually took a 2 nights, I didn't like the first version I did, so I pulled it all apart and started again.  I finally used the 'Time Well Spent' a Level 3 Hostess Set that we received prior to Christmas as a Thank You from SU!.  Terrible that it took so long to put it to use!

Supplies Used:

Stamps:  Time Well Spent, Level 3 Hostess Set

Cardstock:  W/White, Gable Green

Ink:  Black Staz On, Gable Green, Pixie Pink, Lovely Lilac & Tempting Turquoise Stampin’ Write Markers

Accessories:  Tempting Turquoise Grosgrain Ribbon, Crystal Effects, 2 Way Glue Pen, Dazzling Diamonds Glitter

And this is what I made with my NEW stuff.  I've also realised that I need some MORE new stuff, such as the 12x12 Textured Neutrals Assorted so I can get myself some of the Basic Gray cardstock.  I would have liked to add a mat of Basic Gray around the stamped image and between the punched circle and scallop layer.

 

Supplies Used:

Stamps:  Simple Delights Simply Sent Kit, Sentiment from Papertray, PaperTrey Inc

Cardstock:  Soft Sky, W/White

Ink:  Soft Sky, Basic Gray

Accessories:  Basic Gray Taffeta ribbon, Scalloped Punch, 1-3/8 RD punch, dimensionals

 

This card is on it's way to a fellow demonstrator, Tracy who is/was holed up in hospital.  Hope you're feeling better soon Tracy.

Change of Plans

I have to change the date of my planned Catalogue Launch Party. Originally, I had it scheduled for April 12, however, orders from SU! (well, my orders in particular) are still in picking! Bit of a bummer (I'm getting impatient). I've decided to reschedule to April 26, 2008. I haven't sent the invitations out yet (I was waiting to see if my orders shipped over the weekend), but I will be sending them out tonight.

Sorry about the change but it's not much good having a Catalogue Launch Party with out any new goodies to show you, is there :)

Out with the Old & In with the New!

As I'm sure you're all probably aware the new 2008/2009 Catalogue from Stampin' Up! has been released and you can now order from it. Here's a link to the online version

Isn't it pretty. There are lots of fabbo new things - new 08 In Colours - Groovy Guava, Soft Sky, Blue Bayou, Purely Pomegranate, Wild Wasabi and River Rock, 12x12 Textured Cardstock, Rub Ons, all new Simply Scrappin Kits, all new Simply Sent Kits, heaps of lovely new ribbons, a few new punches like the Scalloped Circle (been hanging out for that), Photo Corner, Large Star, 5 Petal Flower, Rhinestone Brads, Crop-O-Dile and heaps of lovely new stamps.

If you've been a past hostess of mine, you will be receiving an invitation to my Catalouge Lauch party, to be held Saturday April 12, 2008, between 10 - 4. I will have just a few of these new catalogues for sale, we'll be doing a make and take and you will also get to see first hand some of our wonderful new products.

In other news, I'm going to be making some changes with regards to how I run my Stampin' Up! business. One of them will be with my blog. I've come to the realisation that I just can't do everything, so the blog will become more of a 'static' website, that I will update at least monthly (around the first of the month with any promotions etc.) My blog will also be moving over to Wordpress. I'm currently in the middle of making the new one functional, once it is up & running, I will post the new details here and a link to forward you all on.

Well, that all for me know, my luch break is well and truly over!
