French Foliage notebook
Hi there! Bet you wondered where I'd disappeared to... I'm still here but working myself hard in preparation for Diane and my Catalogue Kickoff party next Saturday.
On Saturday I went to team training. It was SO fun although I did get a bit scared when I had to present some projects I'd made!
This is one of the swaps I received made by one of my friends, Steph:
It's soooo sweet and features French Foliage which is just gorgeous. The orange colour is called Tangerine Tango - perfect for this season.
Do you like the ribbon along the top? It's hand-made using a strip of card. The stitching was drawn by hand. You simply draw dots and then join them in a line. Easy peasey and great when you need a particular colour ribbon that's not to hand.

Snowman
Happy Monday! Such a great day today and another sneak peek to share!!!This is the send card I made to swap last Saturday. These turned out to be quite time-consuming what with the Big Shot letters being cut out individually but hey, they look fab don't they? It's always lovely to get the glitter out!!!!
Munchkin is on the mend and appears to be eating for Britain at present. Love her!!!

Christmas already?
Morning! Yesterday I went to Leadership training provided by Stampin Up. It was fabulous to spend time with fellow crafters, see sneak peaks from the forthcoming catalogue (OMG!!!!) and learn useful tips.
Traditionally at a gathering if crafters you make Swaps. This was one of my swaps that I made:
It's a cute little envelope (cut on the Big Shot) made from patterned paper in the colour family stacks. These are packs of 40 12"x12" double-sided patterned paper that are gorgeous plus amazing value.
TIP: currently these stacks of paper are just £15.50 - that's just under 39p per sheet. BUT they're rising in price with the new catalogue to almost 49p a sheet. Still a bargain but even more so if you order them before the end if September!
Here are all the envelopes laid out ready to go:
This is also a sneak peek for you as they feature a stamp from one of the new Christmas stamp sets, Tags Til Christmas! Gorgeous isn't it?!!!!!
I made a second swap that I'll share with you soon. Have a great Sunday!
P.S. Thanks to the ladies that attended my Clearly for You class this Thursday. Your diagnosis of Munchkin was spot on and she's starting to get better so the understairs cupboard is just a distant memory!

Mini make & take
Hello and thank goodness it's Friday!
I've been cutting, sticking and hot glue gun-ing like mad!! Today I've got a little make and take that I made with my team at my training earlier this month:
It's actually based on a card in the NEW catalogue! It's a small 3x3" card with a Pear Pizzazz base. To make the spotty circle I used the background stamp Dot, Dot, Dot. Love this as polka dots are super cute!
The sentiment is from the set Party This Way. To make the banner you simply stamp the greeting on a scrap of card and then cut a 'V' into each end. Really simple but effective AND you can use up scraps of card.
The butterflies are in Regal Rose, Pear Pizzazz and Pumpkin Pie. They were cut with the Big Shot Beautiful Butterflies die/embossing folder. Such elegant little butterflies! Just a couple of Rhinestones to finish. Easy and cute!
Today I've been privileged enough to be given a Craft Pass from my Mum who is looking after Munchkin (whose still not well - boo) so I can work hard for various events that are coming up. Hope you get a chance to do something you love today.

French Foliage
Hooray hooray it's Tuesday. Today's card was made for my by my downline, Diane. Isn't she clever? It features French Foliage from the Spring Mini catalogue. She made a One Sheet Wonder using many stamps from the set and then cut it up into squares to create the central panel.Munchkin's been under the weather again today. Meant we couldn't really go anywhere or do anything as she needed me stationary and by her side! Fortunately I started crafting at about 7.30am before her illness had reared its ugly head. I cracked open my SEWING MACHINE!!! Is this a hint about the contents of the new catalogue... you'll just have to wait and see....

Cats & dogs
Just like the weather this morning!
This is another swap card, this time made by Jade. She's used a cute little stamp set that's often overlooked called Every Little Bit. Love the way she's coloured the images and the sentiment cones from Clearly For You.
Apologies for my blogging absence. It's been a hectic weekend with two parties, deliveries and planning my Catalogue Kick Off party on the 1st October (only a few places left if you've not booked already!). I've also just begun experimenting with my new catalogue pre-order. I'll share projects I've made with these later in the week!
