New catalogue launch party

Summer is well and truly here and so is my Stampin' Up! new catalogue launch party. I hear you say new catalogue? Yes, we are now inline with the rest of the world, so lots of new goodies to chose from.

Here is how we started...

Of course with it being summer you have to have a cream tea and these tasty fruit scones were handmade by my fabulous Mum (Thank you Mum, they were delicious!) she even made the strawberry jam, mmm yummy!

Don't you wish you had come?

A selection of crafting goodies and of course the new catalogue were available to touch and stroke.

And a fabulous bundle of goodies made up the prizes, three, this year.

The drawer has taken place, three of my lovely crafting ladies chose the winning tickets,

It's been a long time

Here I am, finally, I have been through a bit of a tough patch recently (with my family) and something had to give, sorry to say it was my blog, I am getting back on track with things a little better now, I have noticed life is moving fast around me and I need to get back in the swing of things. I have had a period with no crafting (yes things were that stressed) but that is changing. Today I made three cards on the same theme, using inspiration from the brand new Stampin' Up! catalogue, click on the catty icon to be whizzed to a catalogue exploding with lots of new loveliness!
I am hosting an open house next Saturday 13th July, 10am-12 noon for anyone wishing to see some fab new goodies in the flesh, from the new Stampin' Up! catalogue Although you can drop in, it would be good to know how many are coming so I can prepare the refreshments etc.
The cards I made today will be available to see on the day and will then appear on here shortly after that. I then have my last two workshops the following week, Thursday 18th July 7pm or Saturday 19th July 2pm, Saturday is fully booked but I do have a couple of places left on the Thursday evening if you are interested contact me for details. When I say my last two workshops, they are the last dates I have organised to date, I will be taking a look at my diary to sort dates through to next year very soon, watch this space for more details or contact me direct.
Anyway that's all for today, I hope to be posting again really soon, until then, Happy Crafting, Dawn x
