Cristmas Wreath

This card is one of a few I demonstrated at Needham Market Scrapbooking and craft Fair.



Lots of people passed comment about it, and where most surprised when they found out the stamp set used wasn't a Christmas one. A few of you suggested that it would look nice done in blue and silver, so I gave it a go. Here it is.



Let me know which one is your favourite. Mine ...... that is a difficult one, but I think I am swaying to the Green and Red, I am a bit of a traditionalist and love these colours together.

Road trip to Needham Market

Yesterday I was up bright and early, and set off to Needham Market, Nr Ipswich to demo at the Cardnaking and Scrapbooking Fair . There where lots of local retailers with their mobile shops there and little old me promoting Stampin' Up!. Have to say I had a blast. The weather was cold, but the sun was shining and tons of people called in to do some stash shopping.

Here's a picture of my stand. Quite a small afair compared to the others but lots of people stopped by and checked me out. It was great talking to so many talented people.



On my stand I held a free draw for a basket of Stampin' Up! goodies. This morning, before he went to school, I got my son to draw a name from the box and I am please to announce the winner is

Neta, from Halstead

Congratulations Neta, I will be posting off the goodies to you tomorrow.

Thank you to all the lovely people that stopped by yesterday, it was great meeting you all.

The 'C' word

At work this last week we have been pricing up all the Christmas cards, wrapping paper, tree ornaments etc ready to be put on display this next week. I try not to think about Christmas too early on, but I really need to be more organised this year. LOL, I say that every year. Well there is a new christmas stamp set in the new catalogue, that has got me in the mood. Look at this beautiful card I made. (even if I say so myself)



It is a very traditional looking card, using traditional colours of Red, Green and Gold. The baubles are all embossed and really shiny, but it isn't showing up in the photos very well.
Not long now, before the launch of the new catalogue. Mine arrived yesterday, so contact me to order yours, cost £5.00 (which is refunded with your first order)



Supplies:

Stamps: Tree Trimmings, Autumn Days, Occasional Greetings
Card: Chocolate Chip, Very Vanilla, Real red
Ink: Old Olive, Chocolate Chip, Creamy Caramel, Versamark
