the holidays are coming...

Hello!

So today I am sharing with you something completely new for me - I have never made anything like this before - it is a Christmas wreath that is made using DSP from Stampin Up and I have to say even though I made it! I am very pleased with it...

It does take a couple of hours to complete and does become very repetative but I am sure that you will agree the effect is amazing...

I am also very pleased that the first person that saw this - has ordered one in her new Christmas colours! exciting!

I hope you like my wreath - if you would like to order one please get in touch - you can have any colour combination that you like!

I would like to enter this into the following challenges - 

craft u crazy - holiday

paper crafting journey - anything goes

paper play - paper piecing (mine is a twist on this)

 s j paper craft - christmas

hugs and happy crafting!

exciting times ahead...

So being part of the Stampin' Up is always something that is exciting - even if it is just down to the fantastic offers that we are given every month or getting together as part of our team to have training or just a get together...

The Stampin' Up! Convention has just taken place in Germany in the last couple of weeks and the announcement at the closing ceremony was not only that the Convention next year would be held her in the UK but in non other than MANCHESTER!

here is a picture of the Manchester Exhibition Centre - where the convention will be held...

I cannot tell you how excited I am for this - not only will this mean that I will be able to go as travelling costs will be greatly reduced, but I will be able to show off the beautiful city that I live so close to nd share it with so many crafting friends...

team training!

Hello

Today I am sharing with you the card fronts that I created for SU training with my team at the weekend... This is training that Julie puts on quarterly to share her wisdom with us! Also a great chance to catch up and have a gossip as well and see the great inspiration tables that a few people made also to inspire us... We made some great projects on the day, but as always I did not finish these - too busy nattering!

For my swap...

I used the new stampset watercolour winter - a new firm favourite for me and I embossed the poinsettia twice using the also new cherry cobbler embossing powder. I then cut these out - all 68 of them! 

and colour washed them with my aqua brush and my ink pad - concentrating the colour to the middle of the flower.

I stamped the fir of the tree in each corner of an ivory blank and inked the edges of this, I stamped merry christmas in the bottom right hand side and added an old olive brad in the top left corner...

I also added a bow to the top right hand side of this - although took my picture before I added them!

Here is a close up of the flower - added dimensionals to make it pop

here is a close up of the sentiment 

I hope you like my swap... if you would like more information on signing up as an SU demo please email me - there is a great offer at the moment to join a great team!

Happy Crafting
