A Receipt Holder....

I have made a CD receipt holder which I saw on this blog http://waltzingmouse.blogspot.com/2008/09/tutorial-for-my-cd-receipt-organiser.html except this talented lady made a Christmas one, but I seem to need one for my everyday purchases... I used all Stampin' Up! items to make this...

This is the CD case when it is shut, there is no decoration on the outside, so if you have a large enough handbag, you can slip this inside, along with the kitchen sink and you will always have your receipts with you when you need them.

This is what it look like when it is opened, I have used More Mustard and Old Olive Cardstock, the new scallop edge punch to make the scallop shapes and the Haiku Patterned Paper.

I have used the new Accents and Elements Felt Flowers with Old Olive brads. the brad in the centre of the flower on top of the scallop is from the new Hodgepodge Hardware set, and the scallop is cut out using the scallop punch. The tabs on the top of the sections are the little tabs cut using the tab punch. The stamped sentiment is from One Of A Kind Stamp Set.

I just need 1 more person for my Markers and InkSpots club, so if you want to join, hurry as it is bound to go fast. Contact me on LindaLloyd@gmx.net

And as I said a few weeks ago on my blog there is going to soon be something special for my Stampers 10 and Markers Club members, watch this space whilst my blog undergoes a makeover....

Bloomin' With Beauty

I made this card using the Bloomin' with Beauty set, for a very nice lady who stamped some images for me (not of UK Stampin Up I might add) she liked it so much she said she may use it to demo with.... I am honoured... thank you.

I used Rose Red and Chocolate Chip cardstock, and Rose Red Patterned Paper, the image was stamped in chocolate chip, and the scallops were made using the new scallop edge punch. The ribbon is Chocolate Chip Grosgrain.

This card was made in 10 minutes before Church on Sunday, it was decided that as our Pastor had driven us to London the evening before to see Delirious in concert we should give him a little something to acknowledge his kindness, so we bought him some miniature heros on the way to church but I had to make this beforehand. Didn't turn out too bad, used Chocolate Chip and Mellow Moss Cardstock and Close to Cocoa Patterned Paper, the ribbon was Chocolate Chip Stitched Grosgrain and the eyelets are also by SU. The stamp sets are In the Stars which I used to stamp stars onto the background mellow moss cardstock and the Frames with a Flourish stamp set for the sentiment frame, this was stamped in Chocolate Chip whilst the sentiment was stamped in Mellow Moss.

I will be back tomorrow with something a little bit different, dont forget to check back then....

And The Winner Is......

Well I must say, have had a bit of hassle getting this posted. For some strange reason, every evening, my google e-mail refuses to work and guess what, yep blogger is also google owned too and that doesn't work either. DH has spent most evenings lately trying to get it to work (and he is an IT geek) and it just wont work, and it is only my computer. So have now downloaded Firefox and guess what, it works.... so finally here is the post...

And number 33 is the winner, which is Jackie, so Jackie, if you are reading this could you please let me know your name and address so that I can post it out to you pronto.
A big thank you to all who entered this competition, keep checking back as there will be some more blog candy in the not too distant future.
Oh yes, it also took longer to pick the number as DS who is blindfolded was in just his pants as that is how he goes to bed, but he had to go and put his PJs on before we could photograph him....
Have a good evening all, I have some cards to post on here tomorrow so check back then... xx

More Blog Candy....

Just to let you all know that as well as entering for my blog candy you can hop on over to Edna's blog http://ednasplace.blogspot.com/ to win a £20 voucher for Joanna Sheen's shop.... cant be bad... Edna is a very talented lady and belongs to one of my Stampers 10 Clubs, dont forget to check out her wonderful creations whilst you are there...

Yes, Yet Another Club....

I have been asked by one of my Stampers 10 if I would run a club for 4 people. Here is what it is all about. The Stampin Write markers are excellent quality, but are nearly £100 for a whole set, but the only way you can get the excellent storage case is to buy the whole set at once. What I am offering is this.... 4 people buy one set a month for 4 months, and I will order a complete set to cover this, then each month 1 person will get their 12 pens plus the storage case and the other 3 will just receive their pens. Each month a different person gets a storage case and at the end of the 4 months everyone will have the whole set, plus the excellent storage case to keep them in, but that is not all.... each person will also purchase a complete colour family of ink spots, there are 4 families, so over the 4 months you will end up with all the Stampin Up Ink Colours, and the added bonus here, is that by selling all this together I am entitled to 1 level 1 Hostess Stamp Set and £15 of free goodies and I will be giving this away each month to one of the four as an added bonus of signing up for the 4 months, you can choose the stamp set and the goodies of your choice. The cost of this per month will be £42.45 a month plus £2.55 postage making a grand total of £45 a month.
I only need 3 more people to sign up and we can get this underway....

Not made entirely from Stampin Up but....

I think it is very pretty, although I guess I am prejudice, I did make it after all...



I used the stamp from the Live The Dream stamp set...

I have also been busy making a little Stampin Up Christmas folder, but cannot show it yet as it was freebie gifts for my Stampin Up customers and they haven't all received their parcels yet, so you will have to wait for another day I am afraid.
