Stampin' on Candles

I held a candle stamping workshop as a Thank You to the lovely ladies who helped me with the Stamp Your Heart Out fundraiser. Aren't they just so clever to put together their inspirations on candle? I am so proud of them - for their generous time and effort with the fundraiser and for producing these gorgeous masterpieces.

Would you like to learn how to stamp and embellish candles? Why not gather a few friends for an off the page class with me? Contact Me to organise a fun filled session.

Happy Stampin'

June Update

Well, how fast has the last few months flown. It already feels like we’ve had winter for the last 2 months and yet, June is the first month of winter. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I looked at our home inside-outside thermometer on Tuesday, 10 May - it was a mere 1.8°C which I now know is the coldest Melbourne day on record. Brrrrrrr….how cold is winter going to get?

What’s in store for June? Yes, Monday Zen is back and it will be held on the first Monday of every month. This is your opportunity to come over and start/finish your personal projects - BYO tools and materials. However, you are welcome to use my tools if you need to, purchase any materials and accessories as you need them (eg. 1sheet of card stock) and best of all, leave the cleaning up to me! Please be aware that this is not an organised class and a nominal fee of $5 applies. So, come on over and let's get crafty together.Anyone celebrating Christmas in July? If not, then maybe you would like to prepare for Christmas early. With this in mind, I have scheduled 2 classes for you.

Happy May!

April roundup: I had a fabulous day at the Stamp Your Heart Out fundraiser on Saturday. I met some lovely people and enjoyed myself thoroughly. Lucky me, I even won a raffle (no, it wasn’t rigged). That night, I was so exhausted, I fell asleep on the couch watching TV and when I woke up to go to bed, I couldn’t get to sleep. So what did I do (you ask)? I stamped and made a card of course! It was play time for me as I had little of it with the lead up to the fundraiser. Before I go any further, I would like to give a Big Big Big Thank You to my wonderful friends, Ping, Karen, Elke, Yvonne, Cherie and Lisa for donating their precious time to help me prepare for the SYHO fundraiser. Your generosity, caring and community spirt is invaluable.

Anyway, May is turning out to be quite a busy month for me. I have to churn out 80-100 card fronts to swap at the Annual Stampin’ Up! Convention which begins Thursday next week. Apart from that, I’m having my SU 2011 Autumn-Winter Mini Catalogue party this Friday night, classes/workshops to organise and hold, attend the SU Convention, and a few birthday parties to attend.

2011 May Specials: Deals of the Week 

May is also the time to grab a bargain or more. Throughout May, SU is releasing weekly specials on items that are discounted up to 40% off their normal price. The first deal of the week began 1 May 2011 and the products listed will only be available at their discounted prices until midnight Tuesday 10 May 2011. Then from midnight 11 May, the 2nd Deal will begin. I will keep you updated each week but you can also check it out yourselves HERE every Wednesday of this month.

The card to your right was made with the lovely Cottage Garden stamp set that’s on sale this week. I made it for my husband’s aunt last year. The photo doesn’t show it but the large flowers were actually stamped separately, cut out, curled and stuck on the card with dimensionals to make the card “pop”. The ultra feminie ink colours are Rose Red, Pretty in Pink and Old Olive. Like it?

Don’t let the deals get away! Contact me to place your order.
