EVERYTHING IS GOING, GOING, AND GONE!

I hope you and your family had a wonderful Christmas time together!  The weather here was amazing, and we even got in a few km of walking in between Christmas lunch and pudding (had to make some room to enjoy the pudding!).

It’s just a few more weeks until we leave, so I’m frantically trying to clear out the house, and especially the craft room.  The items that are still listed here will be put on Trade Me in the next few days, so make sure you contact me if you are interested in any of them as the items I have already listed on Trade Me are selling for higher than I’ve had them offered for here. 

Have a fabulous New Year and keep on stampin!

DECEMBER FRENZY IS HERE! SAVE UP TO 50%!!!

 

As well as getting a brand new mini catalogue today, December 1st also marks the beginning of December Frenzy!!!  For the month of December you will get up to 50% off some items … check out the list below and then e-mail me or call me with your order quick as they will sell out fast at these prices!!
 

THE NEW MINI CATTY IS HERE … BUT YOU ONLY HAVE 10 DAYS TO ORDER (with me anyway) …

Just click on the photo above to download your very own copy of the Summer Mini catalogue …

YOU ONLY HAVE 10 DAYS TO GET ME YOUR ORDERS  - for those of you who didn’t receive my customer e-mail last week and haven’t caught up with our news, Harry has a fabulous new job in Norfolk, Virginia, so we are moving back to the USA!  The last 5 years with Stampin’ Up! New Zealand have been fun (if exhausting), and I will be resigning as a demonstrator December 11th.  I will be placing my very last order on December 10th, so make sure you have your order in and paid for by the 9th so you don’t miss out.

The good news is that to say thanks to you for being so fabulous, you will get 50% extra loyalty points with any orders you place from now until then, so drop me an e-mail and let me know what you want – between this new mini catalogue and the great December Frenzy offers, you have lots to choose from.  That means that for every $100 of product you purchase you will get 3 loyalty points instead of 2.  When you have a full card of 10 stamps/points, you get $50 in free product of your choice.    Don’t know if you have any points?   If you have purchased from me in the past year you will have a loyalty points with me, but if you aren’t sure how many points you have on your card, drop me an e-mail and I would love to help you out.

I have a great team of demonstrators who would love to help you with your stamping and scrapbooking needs – from Auckland all the way down to the bottom of the South Island, so let me know if you would like contact information for a demonstrator in your area, I would love to e-mail you their contact details so you can get creative!

Thank you to you all for your support and encouragement over the past 5 years, I have appreciated it more than you know!

Keep on stampin’

A LITTLE PMS – SOMETIMES IT’S A GOOD THING … ESAD blog hop

Did you just pop over from ANN’s blog or have you just turned up on my blog impressed that I’ve actually updated?  Either way, we are glad you are joining us for the ESAD New Catalogue Blog Hop.  Just continue linking from one blog to the next (each should have a link to the next) and you eventually will have done an entire circle and be back at the beginning again full with lots of great ideas for projects using yummy new products from the brand new catalogue! 

WHAT IS ESAD?

All of the participants of the blog hop today are members of ESAD.  ESAD stands for "Extra Special Australasian Demonstrators" and it is an on-line group just for Australian and New Zealand Stampin Up demonstrators.

We so love what we do and not only do we love to share it with our customers, friends, and wonderful blog visitors, but we share our love for what we do with each other as demonstrators.  We run swaps, challenges, tutorials, product know-how, and cyberstamps, and we are always there to help and support each other when it is needed.

So if you are a Stampin' Up! demonstrator located in Australia or New Zealand, then please fee free to click HERE to join our wonderful group

 

PMS – IT’S GOOD THING (SOMETIMES!)

My creative brain hasn’t been working lately and I was trying to figure out how to showcase a couple of my favourite things from the new catalogue and my wonderful friend, Melinda, came to the rescue with this super idea (don’t you love having awesome and creative friends to share ideas with?!).    I’ve named it the “PMS box” – Popcorn, Movie, and Snacks …   Wouldn’t this be a fabulous gift to give a special friend, a complete girl’s night in enclosed in a gift box! 

If you didn’t want to make a decision on a movie, you could even create a coupon or get a rental gift card and it would also fit inside the box.  Of course you will have to give the bottle of wine separately – it just doesn’t want to fit in the box!!  LOL

 
The box looks like a clutch purse when it’s all closed up – how cute is that!  While a guy might not appreciate how “pretty” it is, the girls will!!

 
The box opens up and includes everything you need for a good girl’s night out – chocolate bars, tissues (in case you get a real chick flick!), cards to invite your friends, popcorn, and coffee …

 
left side – chocolate, tissues, and invites

 
right side – popcorn and coffee                   

 
see  … there is the popcorn hiding in the box!

Wouldn’t you just love to have a PMS night like this one - it would be so much fun to get the girls together!!   Now we just need to figure out a way to get rid of the boys …

SUPPLIES USED:

Stamps:  Creative Elements (for invites)
Card/Paper:  Chocolate Chip, Cherry Cobbler, Daffodil Delight, and Whisper White cardstock,

Punched Pennants … a little sneak peak

Parker had another birthday party today (little social butterfly that he is), so I had to come up with another boy’s birthday card for his friend, Kobi. 

Luckily I had already received this new set of stamps with the matching punch and the new colours from the catalogue that starts September 1st, so I thought I would give you a little sneak peak …

Stamps:  Pennant Parade, Curly Cute
Colours:  Island Indigo, Lucky Limeade, Pool Party, Real Red
Accessories:  Petite Pennants Builder punch, Timeless Type alphabet dies, white gel pen

The Lucky Limeade has shown up quite dark in the photo, but it’s really a fabulous colour – sort of reminds me of Kiwi Kiss last year (and you know how much I loved that colour!!)

 

Happy stampin’
