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

A Monster Day....

Tomorrow is my littlest boy's birthday and he will be a whopping 7 years old. He is a big monster, so what better card to make than a monster card... lol

October Afternoon Patterned Paper, Sentiments are computer generated, the happy birthday was cut out using the small square punch from Stampin' Up! and the monster and feet are from the Paper Dolls Cricut Cartridge, the lips are a quickutz die. And finally a Martha Stewart Edging Punch. Didn't take me too long which makes a nice change, and I am sure he will like it...

Have a great weekend, I am sure I will as I am off to a Make and Take day with a lovely lady called Steph and 28 other people who I am just dying to meet, then afterwards we are off to the Cinema to see A Christmas Carol for my little boys birthday, picking up a takeaway on the way home, I was thinking KFC, but I think he has other ideas...

Take Care xx

3 New Cards

I have 3 new cards to show you today... I have been really busy making 70 Christmas Cards for my 2 little boys to write for their friends at school, plus I am making 30 boxes for Saturday and haven't even started yet.... lol

Patterned paper is from stash, flowers are made using 2 of the Stampin' Up! Punches, 5 Petal Flower and BoHo Blossomes, Cardstock is Night of Navy and Whisper White from Stampin' Up! and the sentiment is from Verve Stamps.

Stampin' Up! Old Olive Cardstock, Summer Sun and Whisper White. Ribbon is Pumpkin Pie Stampin' Up! Ribbon. Isn't it wonderful how it all matches each other.

Stampin' Up! Bravo Burgundy and Whisper White Cardstock. A Tree For All Seasons Stampin' Up! Stamp Set and the sentiment is Computer Generated.

Will post a photo of my 70 Christmas Cards tomorrow, plus have 2 other projects I have been working on that I cannot post yet as I dont want people to see them until they receive them.

My Christmas Shopping that I did on Sunday is starting to turn up today, really pleased as that is another thing out of the way, just need to check now who else I need to buy for and to get on with the making of the gifts that I am making. And bigger bonus, my little boy's birthday present turned up today, was worried it wouldn't arrive in time for Saturday as he will be 7 then... just need to get around to making him a card now...

Have a great evening all, take care xx

As Promised....

I am posting my sister's birth congratulations card. So 2 posts in one day... go me!!

I bought these papers around 2 years ago when I was convinced my daughter was pregnant with a daughter, she had a boy and has gone on to have another boy too, so I still have these papers, so it is nice to be able to use them at last. They are Making Memories. The only Stampin' Up! I used this time is the crystal brad in the middle of the flower. I am not sure if I am happy with this card or not though, I am thinking it is maybe a bit jumbly, some people can do jumbly really well, but I dont think this card does that.... lol Anyway, need to take it round now so no chance to make another...

Have a good evening all xx

Terrific Tuesday....

Sorry I didn't get back over the weekend, I did some Christmas Shopping (online of course... lol), we have even booked a pantomime for Christmas Eve, so looking forward to it, we are seeing Beauty and The Beast, I haven't seen that one before, and not all the children have seen the Disney version, so I think I will be hunting down some books, I remember when I was young I had the Beauty and The Beast Ladybird book, it was one of my favourite stories... Terrific Tuesday? not really sure why, have just put out some more leaflets for my Card Classes, so looking forward to that next week, getting to meet new people who share in my love of card making... so more exciting things happening... also on Saturday I am off to a fellow crafter's Make And Take day and will meet loads of new people who I have seen online but never spoken to, so more exciting times..... so I am very excited today, so decided to name my post Terrific Tuesday.

So, here are a few cards I have made, I know the paper is Basic Grey, and so are the buttons, the sentiment is Stampin' Up! Sincere Salutations, and the thread wound around the panel is also from Stampin' Up!

More Basic Grey papers, Pumpkin Pie Cardstock from Stampin' Up!, the sentiment is from Verve Stamps.

Er.... ha ha, forgotten who made this paper, I think it is Scenic Route, the flowers are from my stash... the cardstock is Stampin' Up! Pink Passion, I always seem to use some Stampin' Up! on my cards somewhere, I guess its because with more than 48 colours of cardstock you are always likely to find something that matches your papers.

Have a great day all, hope to be back later with another card, a birth card as my sister gave birth to a little girl on Sunday, she already has 2 boys so a girl is a bit of a novelty... after a blood transfusion and a trip to theatre she is now fine and recovering at home..

Take care all xx

Phew..... just about finished..

Hmmmm I am doing quite a lot of these kind of cards lately, white, silver, black and none of them photograph that well...

This is my grandson, he is now 6 weeks old and my daughter asked me a few weeks ago (probably quite a few weeks ago) if I could make her some thank you cards for all the gifts that Cain received after he was born. And true to form and running late as usual I finally got round to making them today. I used Stampin' Up! Whisper White, Bashful Blue and Not Quite Navy Cardstock. The ribbon is Stampin' Up! Striped Grosgrain. I embossed some of the Whisper White with an embossing folder.

The "Thanks" is the inside of the card, this is a die cut, cut using Bashful Blue Cardstock. Nearly forgot the stamped bit on the back of the card, but did remember in time... lol

I was hoping to make my boys their Christmas Cards, do you know what, I haven't made 1 Christmas Card yet and it is making me panic (other than the set for my Card Making Workshop). I really do need to get on and make some stuff for Christmas. I have 3 styles of cards for the boys, so know basically what I am going to do. I also have several albums I need to make too, and I have made a list, but for everything I cross off I add 2 things to it...

Oooooh hubby is home and I really fancy a chinese takeaway tonight, so I will say bye bye and have a good weekend, I will try and blog tomorrow and Sunday so keep checking back. Oh yes, I also have a Greetings Farm Stamp to give away, just need to photograph it and put it on my blog.

Take care all xx

A "Specials" Post......

Nothing crafty done today as I have been sorting out all the freebies for my Stampers 10 group, free 6 x 6 paper, a free tutorial etc.... if you would like to join one of my clubs starting in January, check out the top of my blog for more details...

Anyway, last night we went off to see The Specials, I missed out in my youth but more than made up for it last night. We stood on the rail at the front, and one of the guys waved to me and I shook hands with another one, plus I left with a plectrum that they had used..... woohoo.

You can see just how close we were to them, plus I got a Specials T Shirt, some button badges and a program.... plus plenty of beer to drink too....

They sounded just like they always have, and apart from a few guys being pulled from the crowd over our heads for misbehaving a good time was had by all.

Next month we are off to see Madness so I will be boring you with more photographs then....

Have a great evening all xx
