Ribbon Share

It's time for another ribbon share.  I thought I might do a couple of these before the catalogue ends for the year.  Yes, it's nearly time for a new catalogue and it is unsure which ribbons will stay for the next one.
So grab these if you want to sample a bunch of ribbons (I am sure these will change because they feature an In-Color).  This share is for the Striped Grosgrain in Pumpkin Pie, Real Red, Wild Wasabi and Bashful Blue.  You will receive a 4th share in each ribbon roll for the amount of $15.70.   If you require postage anywhere in Australia, postage will be $3.  Ordering and payment can be made with credit card with the Paypal button below (with both pickup and postage options) or alternatively you can email me at scrapalley@gmail.com to order.

Postage

On the card above I have created the flowers with the Bashful Blue ribbon and used a Prettys half-pearl for the centre.  Here is a close-up view:
Let me know by email if you would like a share in these ribbons.  scrapalley@gmail.com

Another Happy Heart

Here is another card using the set mentioned in the last post.  
I just love this heart.  It is my favourite stamp at the moment.  And although this set has a Valentines Day stamp in it, it can be used for soooo much more.  You will also see my favourite swirl in the background there, Baroque Motifs.  Love it.

Happy Valentines Day by the way.  Forgot to mention that yesterday didn't I?  We had a lovely day at the Terrigal Markets, my Mum and I.  Didn't do very well, the rain kept the customers away.  But I spent the day with one of my favourite people so that was good.  Here she is with our little stall.  Isn't she gorgeous!
We snacked on this (so not good for the diet!):

Mum and I watched a movie in the afternoon while all the boys were busy out in my studio.  Mmmm, wonder what they were up to??

We then had a beautiful dinner made by Anthony.  Pasta with prawns, yes they are heart shaped pasta pieces.  Aren't they cute?

Then the boys disappeared out the front door and then came in one by one to present Mum and I with handmade cards and pale pink roses.  Here is Mum with hers (yep, she got teary):
And here are mine:

And here is the card my darling husband created all by himself.  Aaah.  Gotta love him.
Hope you had a fabulous Valentines Day and received something special.  Even if it was the chance to count your blessings.  

Have a good Monday tomorrow.  Bye for now,
Alex

New Service

I know alot of my viewers here at my blog are not from close by and may not have access to a Stampin' Up Demonstrator.  This has got me thinking, everyone should have access to these fabulous products.

Therefore, I want to add the option of buying Stampin' Up products from me here at my blog. That way anyone, Australia wide, can get these fabulous products shipped directly to their door. 

Like the sound of that?
And to make it easy, I am adding Paypal as the option to order and pay.  So from now on I will provide the option of purchasing showcased products with the simple click of a button.

So for starters I want to share with you this card I have created.  It uses the stamp set "A Happy Heart" from the Summer Mini Catalogue.  Isn't it so cute?


Image courtesy Stampin' Up Summer Mini Catalogue

If you would like to purchase this stamp set, click on the paypal button below (Australian residents only).  Stamp set is $41.95 for a set of 6 co-ordinating stamps (pictured above), shipped directly to your door plus $5.95 for postage and handling.  Your item will be ordered immediately upon receipt of your payment and will be shipped directly to you within 7-14 working days.   (This offer only available to Australian residents only)


A Happy Heart Stamp Set with P&H


How good is that?   Now you can all share in the Stampin' Up experience.  If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me at scrapalley@gmail.com or on 0414 444150.  I am only too happy to help.
I am really excited about this new option to you.  I hope you are too and take up the opportunity when you see something you would like.  And who wouldn't want 'A Happy Heart' ?

Bye

It's nearly Valentines Day

and I have been a busy bee creating a bunch of goodies for Terrigal Markets.  It is on next Saturday - yep, Valentines Day and I am really looking forward to it.  Who doesn't love an excuse to papercraft!?  I certainly do.  I will have lots of cards, boxes etc for sale and also the opportunity for workshop sign-ups.  So if you are local to the Central Coast, NSW come to the Terrigal Markets at Terrigal Primary School next Saturday 14th February.  I would love you to come and say Hi!

Here is a cute pocket envelope made for Valentines Day - or any day you feel like sharing the love! It uses the 5-in-1 template and some bits from the latest mini catalogue (further details below).  I plan on putting a chocolate bar or some sort of goodies in it for Valentines Day.  If  you would like to make one, how about booking a workshop.  Invite a couple of friends over and they could take one of these home that they made themselves.  Workshops are heaps of fun with no pressure and goodies to take home.  Contact me at scrapalley@aapt.net.au if you want to know more.

Products used
Stamps:  A Happy Heart (set of 6 - $41.95)
Hodgepodge Hardware:  Styled Silver ($57.95 or Hardware share for $12.20)
