More Sneak Peeks.....

I attended a Stampin' Up! Training Day at Reading last Saturday and my wonderful downline Teri had made me this little box using new stash from the mini catalogue.....

and inside was two bottles of Sanctuary lushiousness which I have had my eye on for a while now and despite hinting didn't get any for Mother's Day or Valentines Day, so was doubly gorgeousness for me..

I just want to say thank you so much to Teri, it was a lovely surprise and it was absolutely brilliant to finally meet you at last...

 For this set Teri used the new Vintage Vogue Stamp Set and the new Very Vintage Wheel which I haven't actually bought yet.... I wasn't sure I wanted it until I saw this gorgeous box, now it is definitely on my wish list. But I do have the Vintage Vogue Stamp Set..... watch this space...

We all took swaps along too, and here is the swap I made...

I used the new Sweet Pea Paper Stack for the Patterned Paper and the little owl is from the Fox and Friends Stamp Set, all from the new catalogue. I used Whisper White, Taken With Teal and Rose Red Cardstock and grosgrain ribbon in More Mustard and Chocolate Chip... the sentiment is from the Trendy Trees stamp set....

Am sorting out some storage in my craft area this weekend, yet again, I really need to organise my stamps better and my nestabilities.... I also have a load of stamps to sell so keep your eye on here if you love Magnolia, KatzelKraft, Sugar Nellie, Autumn Leaves and a few other stamps.... I am also selling a hardly used Scor Pal which I bought but wasn't sure I liked.

Have a great weekend all xx

Where Does The Time Go....

How fast is December going, I swear I am going to be better organised next year, in fact in my members forum, I am going to have a thread for Christmas Cards made each month, and that will give me an incentive to make my Christmas Cards over the year and use up some of the stash that has accumulated.... lol

So what have I been up to, well aswell as packing and posting loads of parcels and ordering my £100 of free Stampin Up Stash that I won by getting a promotion, plus the 12 stamp sets I also won by the amount of sales I had, plus my recruits, I have been making loads of cards (if you are interested in signing up as a hobby demo or business demo to Stamping Up, just e-mail me for the special offers I have in store for you in the new year... LindaLloyd@gmx.net). Not all the cards are Stampin Up, in fact only 1 is, I really need to use up some of my other stash, so here are some of the cards I have been making. They all have bible quotes on them as they are used by a lady in my church who reaches out to people in need...

I used Basic Grey Ambrosia PP and cut out a butterfly using a spellbinders butterfly die... the sentiment is computer generated.

Not sure about any of this paper, was just in my stash, love the colours though, again the sentiment is computer generated.

Again the PP is Basic Grey but it is from the Cupcake collection this time, the flowers were cut out using various punches and the sentiment was computer generated.

I used Basic Grey Eva for this card, the bird stamp is from katzelkraft and the sentiment is again computer generated.

Again not sure what the paper is, but the sentiment is computer generated... but now I have just received my Stampin Up "Gods Blessings" stamp set, so hopefully you will see lots more cards using those sentiments instead.

Have a very busy week ahead, but will try and post some more cards tomorrow inbetween my Dad making his yearly visit, posting out parcels and attending DH's Christmas Works do, oh yes and 2 of the children going on their scouts Christmas Treat which is toboganning... whew I am exhausted just thinking about it.

Have a good evening all xx
