One of a Kind

I,m loving all the goodies in my kit, I made this yesterday, using the One of A Kind stamp set, its a shame I,m so useless with my camera that you cant really see how pretty the colours are together, I think up to now my fav colour has to be the gable green, it just goes with any other colour you put it with.

I made a lovely scallop edged box to hold some more cards I made last night while hubby was out watching the England match, will have a go at taking some photos and pop it on later

Stampin' up! starter kit

My kit has arrived, its soo exciting, so much stuff to play with, its great.

The first card I have made with it is for a special persons birthday, my up-line Monica, its her birthday tomorrow and I thought it very fitting to send her my first card (although I,m going to make another one for my samples), Let me know what you think, its very basic just a little embellishment with the ribbon, I normally use lots of bling but just wanted to use what was in the kit. I hope she likes it.

The first uk mini catalogue is been launched tomorrow by Stampin' Up! so I will pop a link on so you can all have a look through, if anything takes your fancy, or you would like some more information on any of the products please contact me on jayne@carroll33.karoo.co.uk.

Having a crafting night tonight so will post the results on here tomorrow.

STAMPIN UP DEMONSTRATOR

Hi everyone, I have some fantastic news, I am now a Stampin Up Demonstrator, I am so excited about it, My up-line Monica is a wonderful lady and has helped me acheive my dream to work doing something I truly love, doing, stamping and creating have been such a big part of my life since having the children, I,ve used it as my little escape time, kind of like therapy, (only cheaper, well probably not since I spend so much on stash). I,m really looking forward to my demo,s kit arriving, it should hopefully be with me Monday, and then I can have a good play with all the lovely stamps , and get creating some cards and scrapbook pages.

I have lots of work to do, so please pop back in the next week or so to see what I have planned for the next few weeks.

Just got back from a fantastic show, Mum took Hollie and me to see Fame the musical at Hull New Theatre, it truly was fantastic, the whole cast were amazing dancers and the lead male dancer was fit as in more ways than one, it amazes me how they dance like that twice a day for weeks on end, and still put the passion into it. Needless to say we were all up dancing at the end of the show. We then hot footed it to Pizza Hut for tea, and I can highly recommed the pasta dishes we all really enjoyed them. Its been a long night and were all shattered, but I,ve just realised I,ve still not made dh a valentines card so will have to get to work fast as its officially valentines day in about two hours. Will post a pic on when and if I managed to make one.

ITS SNOWING

I have just taken this on our way home from school, it is truly snowing 'heavens high' it started earlier this afternoon, and its coming thick and fast, the best bit for the kids is its laying not too good for me as I have to drive through it.

We had a snowball fight on the front of our house, I,m sure the neighbours must think I,m mad, but I dont care. Hollie is a good aim now and managed to get lots down the back of my coat, it was freezing, and one right on my freezing ear, I did get her back but was enjoying throwing stuff at her way too much and reminded myself she is only 9.

Anyway, hope your all having fun in the snow if you have any, and remember your never too old to make a snowman or throw a few snowballs, go on it feels good.

First xmas lay out

This is my first l/o in ages, and as most of my scrapping stuff is packed and ready to move, I,ve tried my hand at digital had photoshop elements for ages but never really got to grips with it, so have been having a play around with it, this l/o is very basic but its giving me some much needed practice, I,m not the most computer literate of people so having to learn a whole new language is quite hard work. Anyway, this photo is our of one of our family traditions we have a carpet picnic on christmas eve, all of us sit in the front room on the carpet and start to get very excited about a certain someone paying us a visit.
