I spent the afternoon crafting with thirteen lovely, 13year olds. Abby had a Stampin Up birthday party where they made the two things in the photo below. They had a great time and were very proud of what they made. I was surprised to hear how many times they said “this is cool”. They all made each journal with there own personality shining through. They didn’t just copy exactly what I had made, there were some very artistic girls there.
Thanks girls for a great afternoon….’Happy Birthday Abby’
Good morning to all the ladies that came to our very first ‘Stamp Camp’ yesterday. A great day was had by all and success was had by all as everyone completed there box and they all looked beautiful.
It is exciting to hear so many of you wanting to join us on the 4th December for our Christmas card frenzy which we are calling “Build-A-Card”…..quick and easy cards that any level of crafter or even non crafter can put together and pop in the post.
I would like to send out a big thanks to Sharon whom is my partner is crime…lol, no seriously the day couldn’t of been such a success without her. A big hug also for Sharon’s sister Nicole who helps us out always, many hands make light work and our day sail along without and hiccups.
So thank you so much to everyone who came and had a great day….but I am sure there is something that we haven’t picked on that could be improved and for this we are asking for any feedback so that we can make these events even better……email me your feedback to lana@harveysautotraders.com.au.
On the weekend I thought I would get started on my Christmas cards only that I forgot what I had planned. I had bought the cardstock and ribbon and that was about it. So I was shown this by Sharon a while ago so I have just run with this for the time being. I make between 80-100 for my husbands clients and then I make up different ones for our friends and family (when I come up with that one I will let you know).
Anyone interested in completing HEAPS of Christmas cards in one night??? You free on Dec 4?? If you answered YES to both questions…..pop me an e-mail and get a sneak peak at a class that is in ‘the works’ ATM but will be revealed shortly………..
I bought the Rock Star Card Elements Stampin’ Up! ‘World Card making’ special as it is a great deal. I put all the cards together and had some bits left over and made an additional 6 gift cards.
Well the school holidays are over, back to normal today and of course we get the good weather now!!! Will be back shortly to show you the christmas cards I have started on.
I have finally finished….I am so so so so glad. Here are the last pages. To my friend Karinne in London, I hope you have enjoyed looking back at these photos of your Dad. I will send you over a copy of the DVD from the party and any photos for you, so it will be next best thing to being there.
A total of 56 pages….tomorrows challenge, getting them all to fit into album. Off to the shop first thing in the morning. Thank you to all who have visited, sorry there hasn’t been much of a variety. Back to normal next week (more fete creating and I need to get stuck into Christmas cards etc). Having the weekend off from doing any creating of any kind. So have a good weekend….:)”
I am having a 5 minute breather…..The following pages I completed yesterday and have now run out of time so I have sort of cheated. Will be back once I have finished to show you what I mean…Keep warm 
Well, as I have been so consumed with making my friends album I had totally forgot to make the girl next door a birthday present. So before doing anything else I made these gifts. Not sure what colours she liked so I let Britney choose. This just shows how versatile you can be with papercraft products and I just love using Stampin’ Up as everything co-oridinates, which makes creating that little bit easier. The little calendars are available from educational experience (just google ‘em, they sell online or over the phone) and they come in books of 25 calendars for about $7.50. The post it note cover can be made from any size, by just measuring up the post it note that you are using. If you would like the dimensions I used for the calendar, just email me and I will send them to you…..A great gift which was whipped up this morning….I am now going to have lunch and get back into it. Thanks for visiting and have a good day:)
Firstly, thank you Vicki for having me and creating with your daughter Laura and her friends. They seemed to of had a great time creating there own journal and make it unique. Below is what my daughter made, I used her as a guinea pig to make sure it was age appropriate (what I forgot to take into account was that she is exposed to all my materials). They all still achieved a great journal with a little assistance, they got to go free on there gift bag.
Recipe:
Stamps: Priceless, Short order Alphabet
Ink: Bold Brights
Card: Bold Brights
Other: Whisper White Taffeta Ribbon, Punches: 1″ Circle, 1 1/4″ circle, Scallop cirlce, Round tab. Pen, journal and paper bag are not Stampin’ Up products.
I am getting through them and at the moment the fishy one is my favourite, it is just so cute. I must say though my kids will be happy once it is finished, they are watching lots of foxtel this week. I have promised to do things with them next week. Such is life….
Didn’t achieve a great deal last night. It is my ‘Packed to the Rafters’ night, where I sit and done nothing. I just love that show at the moment. I am off to do a birthday party for a nine year old girl today, we are covering a journal. Will post back tonight with a show and tell. Have a good day…..
