Exciting New Products!

OnStage Live 2016

Good Morning Everybody,
Wow! Where do I start? I have just come home after an amazing time with my bestie up in Brisbane, QLD. We went up for the Stampin' Up! Onstage Live, and it was AH - MA - ZING!!!!
We had 3 great days filled with incredible presenters, fantastic new products, make and takes and of course......freebies. We were also lucky enough to get the brand new Occasions catalogue and the upcoming Sale A Bration catalogue.  

 

We were so luck to meet and have a photo with Stampin' Up! CEO Sara Douglass as well as Co Founder Shelli Gardner.  They were truly the loveliest ladies and made you feel as if you were great friends.  I have heard a lot about the Stampin' Up! family but now I really feel a part of it.  This weekend was like a reunion that I hadn't had before. 

If you are not a demonstrator, you are going to want to be. It is filled with awesome new stamps, dies, paper and much more.  Sale A Bration is the perfect time to join as you get over $230 worth of product for only $169. But wait... there's more. During Sale A Bration, Stampin' Up! have an extra special offer to new demonstrators.  If you are interested in joining please contact me.  I can help you with any questions you may have.

During the month of November we are going to be extra busy. My beautiful daughter has qualified for the Australian Physie and Dance Junior Nationals. Soooooo, next weekend we are off to Sydney for her to strut her stuff.  I don't have time to be tired so excited it will be. I can be tired later.

Also, the final Made With Love Markets is on the 27th November at Park Beach Plaza, Coffs Harbour.
This is a perfect time to come and say hello and check out all the amazing crafters that will have their wonderful hand made items for sale. Perfect for Christmas.

For those of you who know me, you know that I'm completely infatuated to my fur babies. While I was away I received regular updates on the babies.  Here is 2 of them having a snuggle. They are 3 weeks old today and that means I'm going to have to start thinking about looking for forever homes. 

Now, I'm off to check out all my swaps and to have a play with my new stamps. 

Have a great day and stay crafty,
XO Tan

Baby Girl's 10th Birthday!

Wow! What a week. We started the school holidays and have been busy with garage sales, birthdays and pregnant puppies!!!
My baby girl turned 10 on Thursday and we had an amazing day. As always, I try to make a special card for her and this year I made a pop out fold card. She totally loved it and I was very happy with how it turned out too!
My other baby girl, Coco, has only 2 weeks of her pregnancy left before we welcome her first litter of fur babies into the world.  She is really starting to feel the effects of pregnancy now and is starting to have trouble sleeping. I'm literally rotating her on the hour at night so that she (and I) can get some sleep.  We are now getting to the pointy end of it and next week we will head off the the vet to check how many puppies she will have and make sure she is in top condition for the  birth.

A Card for my Baby Brother!

Hi there crafty friends,
Today I had an amazing day catching up with a friend who I haven't seen for such a long time.  We had planned to craft the day away.....however, we did talk more than we crafted.  When we finally did get some crafting done, we made a Tri-Fold card with a difference.  I'm sure that this particular fold has a name but I have no idea, so I'm going with Tri fold book card!

My baby brother is turning 40 in a week so I wanted to make him something super special. I super sized the Tri-Fold Book Card and thought I would put some photos in of him as a baby through to adult.  The finished size of the card is 5.5" by 8". He was a very difficult subject to make a card for as his only interests are gaming but I didn't have any embellishments that would suit the card.  In the end I went for a general masculine theme.  

 

 What do you think? I'm thinking of making a tutorial for this card. Let me know if this is something that you would like to make. 
Until next time,
Stay Crafty,

Step Cards and Tri-Fold Shutter Cards

Hi Crafty Friends,
Well, this week has been a busy week in my crafty space. We held a class last Saturday working on Tri-Fold Shutter cards and a Side Step Card.  Everyone made beautiful creations and we all had a great day.....as always!

 

 
 

I ended up spending a few days in bed with poor health, but now I'm back to normal (I do use that term rather loosely) and ready to get buys creating.  I pulled out the Sweet Home dies and matching stamp set. Wow! Boy oh boy these are so much fun.  Both my daughter and I have been madly creating cute little houses for every occasion possible.  They are incredibly addictive.  

I have been working on my tutorial videos.  Its a learning process and I'm hoping everyone will be patient with me. Hopefully, they will improve over time.  Gradually I'm getting used to it though.  
Every Friday, I create a new a new video and over the weekend I edit and upload it to youtube. 

Tomorrow, I'm having a special crafty day with a friend I haven't seen for quite a while.  She too is hopelessly addicted to all things paper craft. Perfect ingredients for an awesome day. 

Just a reminder, any order placed with me using the current hostess code PDMPVW9X will give you special bonuses and freebies as my gift to you.  If your order is over $250, please place a seperate order so that you are able to take full advantage of the Stampin' Rewards.  Its a great time to shop as Stampin' Up! have just added more items to the Clearance List and the Special Offers are in their final week.  So grab a bargain while the offer lasts.  There are no limits to what you can order, but it is strictly while stocks last. 

Till next time,
Stay Crafty,
