Congrats - Say it with Scallops

Quick post today.

This card uses the square scallop punch from the Summer Mini Catalogue with the matching stamp set 'Say it with Scallops'.  I love this set.  It is so cute and really handy for all types of cards.

Have a great day!

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.

For You

Wanted to share with you a card I made for one of my Stamp Club girls.  

This again uses goodies from the current mini catalogue.  Ginger Blossom paper (isn't that a gorgeous name?) and Say It With Scallops stamp set along with the Square Scallop punch.  In the background I have embossed Baroque Motifs swirl stamp with clear embossing powder.  Very Vanilla ribbon added to complete.

Bye the way, keep your eye out here for my next ribbon share.......it will be coming up soon.

Bye

Alex

Enjoy

................and I do.  Enjoy Stampin' Up that is.  

Hope you 'Enjoy' this card.   I have used the 'Live your Dream' set from the mini catalogue along with the Designer Series Paper to match.  All in beautiful Soft Sky and Choc Chip.

Stamp Class for February

That's right!  I am getting myself into gear and have planned my first class for 2009.

Where:  My place 

When:  Tuesday 17th February 

Time:  7.30pm-9.30pm

Cost:  $15

The theme of the class is 'Ink, Spray & Smash'.  Mmmm, interesting name huh!  It's an interesting technique too.  Easy and effective - just the way I like them.

Here is a sample of the cards you can make on the night:

So let me know by email at scrapalley@aapt.net.au if you would like to book in and I will let you know my address if you don't know it already.  I am looking forward to getting back into classes and workshops again.  I love this job!!

Bye for now,

Thank you for Blog Award

Thanks so much Fiona.  

Thank you for following my blog Fiona (it's nice to know you are out there - Hi!) and for awarding me the Marie Antoinette blogging award.  How exciting!  Fiona's new blog can be found here.  

Now the rules are that I have to show the award (tick), link to the person who awarded it (tick) and award it to 7 other deserving bloggers.  Mmmmm, so many I love how do I narrow it down?

1.  Well, because this is a Marie Antoinette award I have to show you Natasha's blog because it is so relevent to what she loves.  Lots of pretties to look at here.

2.  And this blog I check EVERY day.  I am so inspired by Melissa Phillips and just love her style.  Yummy shabby chic style scrapping and card making.

3.  I also love this blog, although I can't understand a word she writes (lol).  I love her shabby chic style also.

4.  Love Hilary Kanwischer's scrapping style.  Seem to be visiting here alot lately.

5.  Janelle Wind......scrapbooking and quilting all in one.  Mmmmmm.  Her quilting designs are great eye candy for me (who no longer seems to sew anything!) and I love her scrapping style.

6.  I have just recently found this blog and it sure does inspire me to scrap more.  Be  sure to take a look at Nics Nook.

7.  And lastly, not a blog but a site that I visit regularly and tell all my friends and customers about it all the time.  Split Coast Stampers.  Gotta be the best place for ideas, tutorials etc.

Go and take a peek at the above talented people.  I seem to draw inspiration from so many places here on the web and these are at the top of my list at the moment.  Very addicted I am!!  I'm sure you know what I mean!?!?

Here is another card I have created from the mini catalogue to finish up with.

Bye
