The Wait Is Over! 2011 Retirement List is out!

Hi Everyone! Long time, no post, I know. I returned to work in April and the past 3 months seems to have flown past in a whirl of activity. However, today being the first of August brings with it the beginning of a VERY exciting time of year for Stampin' Up! Australia -saying goodbye to our 2010/11 Catalogue and on September 1st, saying hello to our exciting NEW catalogue! Hopefully this will encourage more posting from me of lovely projects using retiring and new products!

So, without much further ado, on to the release of our 2011 Retiring Products List. Click Here to view and/or print the retirement list. You'll notice that some products on this list are discounted and all products are available only while stocks last.

To place an order, please email me or phone me on 0402 120 972. Happy Last Minute Shopping!

Birthday Bakery Stamp Set Winner

Just a quick post today to announce the winner of the Birthday Bakery Stamp Set from my 10 days to Sale-A-Brate series in March.

To the left you can see all the names in the bowl, ready for drawing a winner. I added one entry for every comment by each person who commented throughout the series. So, those people who commented every day received 10 entries, those who only commented once throughout the series received one entry, etc.

And without further ado, the winner is....

 

Congratulations, Louise! I'll have your stamp set delivered to you right away. Thanks to everyone who entered the competition and participated in the series. I'll be back tomorrow with a new card to share!

The REAL best job in the world - Now Hiring!

So, you all know about Queensland Tourism's claim last year that their Island Caretaker role was the best job in the world. Ok, so it might be fun for a while, but in my opinion, being stuck on an island all day, every day for months on end with no access to papercrafting supplies isn't so appealing. Hear's the fantastic news... The REAL best job in the world is on offer for each and every one of you -and it includes UNLIMITED access to top quality papercrafting supplies at a great discount!

Imagine a job that enables you to spend time creating beautiful cards, handmade gifts and scrapbooking pages

Imagine being able to contribute to the family income by doing something you love -never dread a day at work again!

Imagine guilt-free shopping for gorgeous, top-quality supplies with the extra dollars you'll earn -and Imagine buying those supplies with a minimum 20% discount!

Imagine running your own business on your own terms, working as many or as few hours as you want to

Imagine having access to literally thousands of project ideas to help you plan for workshops and classes

Imagine travelling on an all expenses paid trip to Fiji next year! Stampin' Up! have outdone themselves with next year's Incentive Trip being held in Fiji! How exciting!

Sound too good to be true? It's not! This is the reality of being a Stampin' Up! demonstrator! With our current special on the starter kit, there's never been a better time to join! You really have nothing to lose. The special price is just $259 for over $560 worth of fantastic products.

Important Information regarding the Colour Renovation!

Stampin' Up! have advised demonstrators that all retiring colours announced in the Colour Renovation announcement last month are available on a "while stocks last" basis only. This includes all inks, cardstocks and accessories. We've already seen some reinkers go onto backorder status (thankfully there was already a shipment of these colours on the way!), but I have heard this morning that Taken with Teal cardstock is sold out and no longer available. So, don't delay! If you want to ensure you don't miss out on the products in your favourite colours, make sure you get your order to me today! To place your order, email me or phone me on 0402 120 972.

Beautiful Blogger Awards

I'm feeling very honoured and a little bit slack today. Over the past couple of weeks, I've been awarded the Beautiful Blogger award by three lovely ladies and have been so busy with other things that I haven't got around to posting a reply here on my blog. Slack! So, today I say thank-you SO much to the gorgeous Rhonda Statham, Terri Donnarumma and Cathy Clark. Thank-you all for honouring me with this award!

Now to play along! In accepting the award, I have to tell you ten things about myself. So here goes:

1. I am a born again Christian and I can't imagine my life without my Lord in it.
2. I've been married to my best friend for ten years. I am so blessed with a loving, supportive husband who understands my obsession with all things stamping (note: I didn't say he likes it, I said he understands it! Lol)
3. We have two adorable little boys who brighten our days and constantly make us laugh
4. I started cardmaking in 2002, when stuck at home for months (literally) after major surgery on my wrist. I needed something to do to keep me sane, so my mum (God bless her!) suggested I make my own Christmas cards that year. An addiction was born...
5. I'm finding it REALLY hard to think of ten things about myself to share!
6. We live on the beautiful Central Coast of NSW. It's a wonderful place to live and raise our boys.
7. I'm not a big fan of chocolate. I have to really be in the mood for chocolate to eat it, which happens rarely. I know, I'm rare! It's especially strange, because my mum, my husband and my two sons are all complete chocoholics!
8. I love reading and have a book on the go most of the time. I like a wide range of authors.
9. I HATE housework! 
10. In addition to papercrafting, I also enjoy knitting, crocheting and some sewing. All of these crafts take a major backseat to papercrafting, though!

Now I need to choose 10 beautiful blogs that I enjoy. Easy! There are SO many super-talented ladies out there who inspire me in so many ways. Not all of these blogs are papercraft related, but they are beautiful and inspirational and I love them. So here they are (in no particular order):

1. Dawn McVey -so inspirational, I love Dawn's clean, elegant style to her cards.
2. Kristina Werner -What a talent! Kristina's cards are so fun and her tutorials are always straightforward and easy to follow.
3. Clean & Simple Stamping -these ladies are so inspiring! Sometimes I just want to make a quick, simple and unfussy card. This blog is great for that!
4. Card Positioning Systems -created by Tami Mayberry, this blog gives a new card sketch each week, along with the chance to win a prize. Love it!
5. Kevin & Amanda -what's not to love? Classy lady, fun blog, free fonts and recipes. You just gotta love it!
6. Poppy Paperie by Lisa Johnson -I just adore Lisa's style. So elegant, her cards always look "finished" and beautiful. Such an inspiration!
7. Teneale Williams -when I set up my google reader, this lady's blog was the first subscription I made. Need I say more? Uber-talented papercrafter, gorgeous gorgeous lady, SO thrilled to know her!
8. Nichole Heady -I'm completely inspired by Nichole. Her style, her cards, her stamp sets. SO inspired.
9. Natasha Trupp -I've loved Natasha's cards for years now. Her clean, balanced style in so inspiring. Love her blog!
10. Melissa Bickford -you know you're a fan of someone's work when you look at your stash of stamps from the company they work for and most of your sets were designed by the same person! Love Melissa's work -her cards, stamps, the lot.

So there's ten of my favourite blogs. I hope you enjoy!

Stampin' Up! Colour Renovation

I have some BIG news to share with you today! Stampin' Up! have announced that with the arrival of our new Idea Book & Catalogue in September, we'll see a huge colour renovation. At first site, the details of this renovation are a little bit scary (quite a few of my favourite colours are retiring -sob-), but then it gets exciting -so many gorgeous new colours to fall in love with!

So, without further ado, I know you're dying to see the details. Here are the colours that will be RETIRING at the end of August 2010 (click on the image to download a full colour PDF):

 
And now the really exciting part! Here are the new colour families that will form the regular range of colours, beginning September 1st (click on the image to download a full colour PDF):

I'm sure you'll agree that the new colour families are particularly yummy! You'll notice some old (and new!) favourites returning (former In Colours returning as regular range -yay!) and also some very exciting NEW colours -I can't wait to get my hands on that Early Espresso!!!

Another exciting piece of Colour Renovation news is that In Colours will now stay for 2 years! Beginning September 1st, we'll be getting FIVE new In Colours (in addition to the new colour families shown above) and we'll have them for TWO whole years! Next September, we'll get another 5 new colours, so then we'll have ten In Colours. How great is that?!? Love it!

Okay, so now that you have information overload (breath, people, just breath!), here is a card I made on Saturday with some of my fave DSP (felt the need to play with soon-to-be-gone papers!):

I created the flower with Blossom Nesties (3 different sizes). Both the flower and the green print background are Raspberry Fizz DSP. I'm definitely going to miss Kiwi Kiss!

I'm grateful that Stampin' Up! have given us plenty of notice of these changes so that we can build up our stash of favourite colour products (including reinkers, ribbons, cardstock and other co-ordinating products) -Kiwi Kiss is definitely on my list! I recommend that you begin to do this early, to avoid disappointment. There's likely to be a last minute rush come August and I expect stocks will run out early.

Contact me to place your favourite colour order today!

P.S. You might also want to click the "subscribe in a reader" link in the top left sidebar, to ensure you don't miss further colour renovation updates. After clicking the link, follow the steps to subscribe to my blog updates in your favourite blog reader.

Central Coast Flora Festival

We had a fantastic day at the Flora Festival yesterday! This year's festival is huge, with lots to see and do. I'm really looking forward to getting back there on Sunday! We had a very busy morning and a slightly quieter afternoon. We met lots of lovely people and we even made some cards! The stall is looking fantastic, with lots of very gorgeous creations adorning the walls and display stand. We've even got a table full of retired stamp sets for sale at bargain prices. The Festival is running all weekend until Sunday -be sure to stop by and say hello (and maybe even pick up a bargain or two for yourself!).

Update to Bushfire Appeal Donation Amount

Stampin' Up! are thrilled to report that to date, with the sales of the Bushfire Appeal stamp sets, they'll be able to donate $58,131.68 to the Australian Red Cross Victorian Bushfires 2009 Appeal.

Thank you for your efforts to help those who've suffered from this tragedy.

I'll keep you aware of the donation amount as the month progresses.

The Devastating Tragedy

I just don't know where to begin this post. Words fail me, but I feel compelled to share with those of my readers who live outside of Australia what we are seeing unfold here in our beloved country. You may have heard about the devastating fires that have been ravaging Victoria over the past few days. They continue to do so in many areas, but the havoc they have already wreaked in many areas have literally wiped out entire communities and families. I am not exagerating. There are some towns (yes, plural) that have just one or two buildings left. Hundreds of people have lost their lives, thousands their homes.

I grew up in country Victoria, very close to one of the towns that lost almost 20 lives. My brother rang yesterday with the news that his mum's house is gone (we have the same dad but different mums). Thankfully my family and loved ones are safe at the moment, but many people I know are unable to get hold of their loved ones. Some have already had their worst fears confirmed. The death toll currently stands at 173, but authorities fear it will rise far beyond this as they go into the fire ravaged areas to investigate and recover the bodies of those people who unfortunately didn't make it out.

I know that it's a tough time financially for a lot of people right now, but if you can spare even just a dollar or two, please visit the Red Cross website and follow the links to make a donation. The Red Cross has pledged that every cent donated to the bushfire appeal will go directly to those affected by this tragedy. They won't be deducting anything for administration charges or costs. Please give as generously as you are able to and please also join me in praying for everyone affected by these fires.

eScape the "e" and support Bear Cottage!

June's promo of reconnecting with loved ones "the old way" is such a great reason to get together and stamp! I've got together with two other demos in my team -my upline, Georgina Martin and Karen Devonshire and we're organising a special fundraising stamping night. We'll be supporting Bear Cottage Children's Hospice and creating 3 gorgeous projects. Not to mention, having HEAPS of fun and learning some great tips and techniques!

Bear Cottage is a place where children with terminal illnesses and their families can stay to receive rest and medical care in an environment designed to feel like home. It is a truly remarkable place. Relying solely on donations to survive, Bear Cottage needs our help! Please come along and support this vital service. Invite a friend or two to come with you and make a girl's night out of it!

Here's a sneak peak of the stunning projects we'll be creating on the night:

 

 

Aren't they beautiful? The card is a CASE of Marelle Taylor -one of our super-talented fellow Elite Stampers. As soon as I work out how to add links, I'll do that. Marelle's work is stunning and I visit her blog regularly!

So, now that I know you ALL want to be there, here are the nitty-gritties!

When: Friday, June 20. 7pm arrival for 7:30 start
Where: Warnervale Park Hall, Cnr Virginia and Warnervale Roads, Warnervale. Entry via Virginia Road.
Cost: $15, includes all materials for 3 projects, a yummy supper and a $6 donation to Bear Cottage

And I haven't told you the bestest part yet! We'll have heaps of prizes to give away on the night (including stamps)!

Bookings are essential, as spaces are strictly limited. To ensure your spot on the night, please email me or phone me on 0402 120 972.

eScape with Stampin' Up!

Plan now to join Stampin' Up! during the entire month of June in breaking free from the 'e'! Stampin' Up! has designated 25 June 2008 as eScape day--a day to put away your cell phones and laptops and focus on reconnecting with your "wireless network."

Throughout all of June, we're offering a terrific eScape Bundle with products at 25 percent off, including a few of the essentials to create your own cards! Use the bundle to create a special card, note or small gift to send to someone special in your life!

Back from the abyss...

Hi Everyone!

Wow, it really has been ages since I posted. How does that always happen? The days seem to just merge together for me this year. Anyway, the upside is that I have so many things to share with you all.

Firstly, I need to mention that I have not forgotten about my Give-It-Away-Day Cuttlebug Alphabet prize. It's taken me this long to get back to it because only two of the entries qualified to go into the draw according to the rules I set out at the time. So, I've been pondering whether that was fair and decided that I will send everyone who entered a gift and re-offer the prize at a later date with fairer entry requirements. So, if you entered the draw, please email me with your postal address, because I have a gift for you! My apologies for the confusion over this offer, but I feel this is the fairest way to go about it.

My next piece of more exciting news is that I have a tutorial coming up! Keep an eye on my blog over the next couple of days for a tutorial and another Give-It-Away-Day!

Now, I am off to do some creating so that I will have a card to share with you very soon!

And so, the winner is Cate (Purplecrazymum)!. Cate's comment was;

"Hi! Your card looks awesome!!

I'm not sure about stamps (still relatively new to scrapping), but at this time of year, having a few christmas-type ones would be really handy for card making! Maybe that's why I can't get motivated to make my cards ~lol~

I'm off to check out the rest of your cards, and maybe get some inspiration!

Cheers

Cate"

Congratulations, Cate. Please email me your snail mail addy and I will get your stamps out to you right away.

This was so much fun... watch this space for lots more Give-It-Away Days.

Awesome News!

During November, SU! in the US made changes to their angel policy to allow retail selling of handstamped items, using their copyrighted images. Here is a link to a related blog post at the time of the US announcement: http://stampingismybusiness.typepad.com/blog/2007/10/breaking-news--.html

Ever since the announcement, I've been anxiously waiting and watching to hear if we were going to get the same changes here. I'm pleased to announce that we are!

On December 1, 2007, Stampin' Up!^® Australia announced the following change to our angel policy, effective from January 1, 2008;

"Completed, hand-stamped projects may be sold at competitive and non-competitive permanent retail locations, as well as temporary craft events, community fundraisers, and over the Internet. In selling hand-stamped projects, the seller must make it clear that the items are hand-made, and not a product of the company. The seller may indicate that the supplies used are from Stampin' Up!, but the Stampin' Up! logo may not be used in any way for the sole purpose of promoting the sale of hand-stamped projects."

This is such fantastic news! With these changes, we now all have an extra way to enjoy our awesome Stampin' Up!^® stamps -and earn a little pocket money while we're at it! If you would like some further details on retail selling of your handstamped items, email me today.

A shameless plug!

So, I was reading my girl, SJ's blog today and she has this great thing going on. It's like an RAK, but if you go in for it, you have to agree to pass it on! Head on over there and check it out. If you decide to go in for an RAK by this amazingly talented chickybabe, be sure and tell her that I sent you! I'm in -I'd give almost anything for a piece of this lady's art! What a talent!

I always knew I was special...

... And here it is confirmed! I got an A!!! My goodness, it's been like 10 years since I got an A! Argh! Am I THAT OLD??? Ten years since I finished school, already?!?!?! Alas, yes, it is true. My school are having their ten year reunion this month. So sad I can't make it, but that's what happens when you move interstate and have babies. Well, baby, singular, but you know what I mean.

You Scored an A

You got 10/10 questions correct.It's pretty obvious that you don't make basic grammatical errors. If anything, you're annoyed when people make simple mistakes on their blogs. As far as people with bad grammar go, you know they're only human. And it's humanity and its current condition that truly disturb you sometimes.

The It's Its There Their They're Quiz

Welcome!

Thanks for joining me as I endeavour into the blogging world! I have big plans for this blog and I'm excited to see some of them coming to fruition already! I hope to bring you regular cardmaking and scrapbooking ideas and inspiration. My main reason for starting this blog is to share my passion for stamping and the AMAZING Stampin' Up products. I hosted a workshop on Wednesday (two days ago) after having drooled over the products for months and months. I'm so glad I did. I am quite literally in love with this company's offerings and so excited I need to spread the word! Stick around, sign up for the updates, because I promise you gorgeous things to come!
