Friday Fun

This week I have been busy preparing lots of samples to showcase the new goodies available from the new Stampin' UP! catalogue. I have been mixing it up and trying out lots of different and unusual colour combinations, to assist me with this I have been making use of the Stampin' UP! Color Coach.

I have discovered that this is a fantastic way to try out different schemes that you would never have considered before, even if you do not have the exact cardstock. For instance Calypso coral is quite close in colour to Tangerine Tango so I checked out the options suggested for Tangerine Tango and gave it a go. I have also found it is a good way to boost your creative mojo! also as an added benefit it enables you to see all of the Stampin' UP! colours and compare and contrast so you can find just what your heart desires!

So here's a peek at some of my crazy colour combos!

Mega Fantastic Offer!!!

Maryanne's demo/party

This card was designed whilst at a demonstration at Maryanne's house. It had been floating around in my head for a while and as usual I was gleefully unprepared for the party! So I decided to design, arrange, demo it all completely on the fly! The ladies were fabulous and all felt comfortable adapting the colour-way/stamps to suit their tastes. The array of cards they made were really good. It was a fanastic party.

Sorry guys I know I have been very slack! But I am busy busy busy! Barbara has had me chained to her computer desk, repairing her computer aka constructing the super computer so that Dion can take over the world......or some such thing. Said computer is not playing the game and things have not been straightforward.
Craft has kinda taken a backseat and I miss it! I was hoping to have exciting news regarding my classes/workshops but I have possibly got to postpone the news as I may have to return to work, as I am now deemed fit! I find out more this week.
So during the coming week I promise to update you all on all my happenings and provide you with some crafty eye candy! This post is duplicated on my stampin up blog......due to laziness.

Tidied up the craft studio

This week I have had a rearrange in my studio, with the intention of holding my small home classes in there. It is still a mess but is going well. I think I will be able to hold small classes of four people in there, comfortably, six if I pushed it!
It will also be a nicer creative environment to work in, I am gonna put up some frames showcasing the designer series papers, and providing a splash of color.
I will post some piccy's to keep you up to date. P.s check out my stampin up blog and sign up to receive newsletters. Once I have these up and running I am gonna be providing some cool offers via newsletter!
