Stampers 6 Club
My Stampers 6 Club will be running from 15th October 2010 with the last month being 15 March 2011. The benefits of this Club are:-
1. Free new catalogue on October 1st.
2. It will also be combined with my Techniques Club. This is a 6 month club in which you will receive a new technique of stamping each month for 6 months, fully illustrated so that you can try it at home.
3. A jam packed goody bag on your 3rd month which will also be December, so a Christmas Present from me for you.
4. A chance of getting new stash from the new catalogue by spreading out the cost over 6 months.
5. January is normally Saleabration month, so you will also be able to get your free stamp sets with the appropriate spend.
6. During your hostess month, you will receive a free Hostess Benefit of your choice from Level 1 and £15 of free stash from the catalogue.
And all you need to do is commit yourself to spending £25 per month over 6 months. If you were to host a workshop you would normally have to pay 5% postage for Stampin Up to deliver on top of your stash order. I pay this when you are a member of my club. All you pay is the cost of the postage to you each month, from months 2-6 and £3.00 postage for the first month, plus any PayPal fees incurred. You can also pay via cheque or bank transfer.
I am only running the one club, I have 2 places already taken so if you would like a place, please contact me. LindaLLoyd@gmx.net

Stampin' Up! Retiring List

Well you have 1 month to buy the retiring stash from Stampin' Up! some of the items have 50% off and I am offering free postage for all orders over £40 until Sunday Midnight, saving you £3.95. Check out the retiring items here and email me at LindaLloyd@gmx.net for all your requirements. Once these items are sold out you will never be able to get them again, so get in quickly..... If you would like to reserve a new catalogue the cost will be £5, place an order from the catalogue with me during October for £50 or more and I will refund your £5. Or better still, join my Stampers 6 Club and get a free catalogue and a way of spreading the cost of your wish list over the next 6 months, plus receive a goody bag in December, plus a different stamping technique each month included in your order.
Have a great evening all xx

URGENT

Hi Peeps, I have 3 people interested in starting a Stamper's 6 Club starting ASAP and need another 3 to sign up.


What Is This?
This is a monthly club run for 6 people for 6 months.

How Does It Work?
Each month each of the 6 people spend £25 or more in the Stampin' Up! Catalogue. If 6 people spend £25 each this adds up to £160, which equates to a virtual party, and this means that you are entitled to a Hostess Level 1 Stamp Set plus £15 of free goods of your choice out of the catalogue. Each of the 6 people take it in turns to be the virtual hostess.

What Do I Need To Do?
Just let me know you are interested and I will add your name to my list as we need 6 people to start a club. Once we have 6 people I will send out a catalogue to you and you can decide on what you are going to buy for £25 or more in your first month.

What Do We Get Out Of This?
You get a free Stampin' Up! catalogue worth £4.95, at least a free Level 1 Hostess Set plus £15 of free goods of your choice from the catalogue (you can get Level 2 plus more money to spend if your sales are higher). You also get to buy some of the things on your Stampin' Up! wishlist. You will occasionally receive a step by step project in your monthly order.

When Can We Start?
We can start as soon as 6 people are interested. Just contact me on LindaLloyd@gmx.net to either be added to my list or for more information. I look forward to hearing from you.

Trying to Finish all Christmas Posts...

Well I am desperately trying to finish up all posts to do with Christmas, but still have a few days left to go yet.... lol! Then we will move on to pastures new....

So today I will show you the little gifts I made for my Stampers 10 Clubs, if you would like to join a Stampers 10 Club or a Stampers 6 Club, both starting in February, email me on LindaLloyd@gmx.net for more details, or click on the links at the top of my blog to find out more details... each month I will include a little something in your parcel, either a tutorial, a little gift or even some SU samples. I am also starting up a special forum where all my Stampers Clubs can meet and we can have fun one evening every now and again crafting and winning prizes... I will let you know more when you sign up to the club.

Anyway, here is the little gifts my Stampers 10 Club got for Christmas...

Aren't they cute? I used all my Stampin' Up! Cardstock for this, but did use a sizzlits die for the antlers that I bought recently, I think they made perfect antlers.... just had a bit of trouble packaging them so the antlers didn't get bent. They were filled with bars of chocolate. I got the idea from this blog... http://www.staceystamps.com.

Last Sunday at church the children did a Nativity play, I have only included photographs of my children as I dont want to put other peoples' children on my blog without asking the parents first....

This is my little boy Elijah dressed up as an angel.... wow you can almost read the words on the page in this photograph... lol

And this is my little boy Malachi dressed as a Shepherd, can you see the sheep at his feet? Lol

He is always the clown and this is him posing before the play started.... I have sorted out a photograph of all the children from church and will print them out and put them in a photo frame so all the parents can have a photograph as a reminder of the Nativity Play 2009. I will be able to give them out on Thursday evening as me and DH are running our Church New Year's Eve Party.... we are going to have a quiz, dancing for the children to things like Time Warp, Superman etc, and then (hopefully our Pastors and Assistant Pastors don't read my blog) we are having a Mr and Mrs Game Show with our Pastors as the contestants... we have warned them we are doing a game show but haven't told them what it is so that they dont spend the week asking each other their favourite food, favourite place etc.... should be a good evening...

This last photograph is of my son Jared, he is 13 and is at the lectern, he was telling funny stories about Health and Safety along with our lady Pastor, but I haven't included her in the photograph as I haven't asked permission, so here he is...

Hope you all had a great day, we went out for lunch with most of my family as it is my son Joseph's 18th birthday tomorrow. He always comes round for dinner on a Sunday after Church with his girlfriend, so I told him this week we would go out for lunch, what I failed to tell him was that 3 more of his siblings, their partners and children would be there waiting for us... lol. Oh yes, and we obviously had to embarrass him by having a birthday cake brought to our table with all the candles lit... thanks to his sister Ashleigh.... I forgot my camera so will steal some pictures from Facebook once my son puts some of his photographs on there....

Take care all xx

Long Time No Blog......

I have been so super busy as you all have trying to get stuff finished in time for the big day. I am glad to say I am now on top of it, just have a few things to finish off tomorrow, and fingers crossed my Stampers 10 order will arrive before Christmas and I will be able to send that off too so everyone gets their scrummy stash to use once the big day is over. I am starting a Stampers 6 Club in Jan/Feb so if you would like some great stash to look forward to for the next 6 months, contact me for more information or click on the link above this post. Lots of clubs starting next year with lots of goodies for free too.

I still cannot post some of the things I have made as no one has yet emailed me to say they have received it, so not wanting to ruin the surprise I will just post a few things that I can share with you. These are my Christmas cards that I made for the people in church...

I stamped onto the Stampin' Up! Window Sheets with White Staz On, using the Snowburst Stamp Set (I just love this set, it is so versatile...), I left it to make sure it was really dry and got to making the image. I stamped the image onto Whisper White Cardstock and embossed it with Black Embossing Powder, I then inked around the edges and over a large part of the card using Close to Cocoa and then distressed the edges using the Cutter Kit (great bit of gear... lol). I mounted it onto Always Artichoke and then stuck the Real Red Cardstock inside the card making it look like it is matted under the Always Artichoke so that you cannot see the glue holding the Always Artichoke Cardstock in Place. Using a Martha Stewart Punch I punched the edge of some MME Patterned paper, I made two of these for each card so that I could stick the second one directly onto the other side of the acetate inside so there were no unfinished edges. I then tied the Real Red Grosgrain Ribbon all the way around the front of the card securing with a double knot. I cut more Whisper White Cardstock to stick inside the card to write on placing it directly under the Real Red so that you cannot see it when the card is closed. I then matted that using Always Artichoke again, but sticking the Always Artichoke onto the back of the card, again so that you cannot see the glue. The Poinsetta is a Spellbinders Die and the leaves are a Martha Stewart punch. Unfortunately acetate cards do not photograph well and look much better in real life.

I have lots to tell you so hoping to be back tomorrow with some catch up news and some more of my makes.... have a great (if not snowy) evening everyone...

Take care xx

Stampers 6 Club

How would you like to join my Stampers 6 Club starting in January 2010? I need 6 people to run this club. Each person spends £25 a month for 6 months on Stampin' Up! Stash. You will get to be a virtual hostess for one of these months and receive a Level 1 Hostess Stamp Set of your choice, plus £15 of free stash of your choice from the catalogue. You will also get a free 6 x 6 patterned paper pack with your first months goodies and you only pay the cost price of the postage. First month you pay £3.95 then after that you pay for your postage from the month before, this way you dont pay extra when you only order little things. Also if you spend over £45 during January and over £45 in February you will also get a free Saleabration Stamp Set of your choice (a choice of 4), so you could end up with 3 free stamp sets and £15 of stash during your 6 month stay. Cant be bad! Email me for more details on LindaLloyd@gmx.net.

Take care all xx
