Hey there!

WOWZA……I am totally sure that there are less minutes to every hour this past 2 weeks!!! I feel like I am a cat chasing her tail, and just can get to the top of the pile. I have had a few events this week, like babysitting for friends, keeping Kate company, my besties birthday and the birth of her gorgeous daughter yesterday, cooking for the School, Stamp classes, the website crashing etc… the list goes on. Whilst I love my business, I am finding family and friends have quite a lot of needs at the moment, and I definitely want to be sure that they remain my priority. SO whilst I am wanting to stamp, blog, and keep everything running smoothly, it certainly is far from that at the moment. Anyway, hopefully after i get a few important things crossed off the list, I will be back to regular speed…..(we can hope anyway!)

First off though it is back to the Stamp-a-thon news…… ( I can’t believe that this is a week ago already!!!)

Well this is the fun part….. seeing the projects we made on the day at the Stamp-a-thon. This year I had the wonderful help from Louise Ryan, and Charmaine Black. I truly don’t think I could have done the Stamp-a-thon without their help. The past two years I have done the Stamp-a-thon all by myself, now that I think about it, I am not too sure how I managed it. This year of course we had more people, but that was really only possible with Char, and Lou joining forces with me. It was great to meet some of their clients and have them involved on the day as well.

So again the projects we did on the day are a combination of all our work, not just mine. I have them all photographed, and I have added my watermark on them, but I haven’t necessarily made them all, so look out for the name of the person who has

The front of the card….

Which opens up like this….

Louise designed this cute fun folded card with the new Tree trimming stamp set. Also used was the new Ski slope DSP from the new Mini catty. I wasn’t too keen on this stamp set, but now seeing Lou’s card, I just have to have it now!

A Criss Cross card…..

This inside card……

Louise also made this cute Criss Cross card. It is made using the new Great friend stamp set, and the Walk in the park DSP….I LOVE this set!

Corner book marks….

These cute corner bookmarks that go on the top corner of your page were also made by Louise! Cute hey. We used the Wanted stamp set for the masculine one and Circle circus for the girly one. I love these!

Front cover of the Mini scrapbook album…..

The mini album opened up….

Charmaine is the clever cookie who designed this little mini album, showing the new Forest Friends stamp set from the new Mini catty. Also used is the Walk in the park DSP from the Mini catty.

A cute nugget box….

The fun contents inside the box….. a thong soap!

I designed this cute nugget box, with the Just Beachy stamp set from the new mini, with some Walk in the park DSP. A friend of Charmaine’s made 100 thong soaps for us to give the guests. They are so cute

A spring card…..

Char again designed this cute spring card, with the Just Beachy stamp set. I love the truck in this set!

A decorated gift bag….

These are so fun and simple to do. Char and I worked on this one together, and we have used the new Parisian breeze DSP and the Ovals all stamp set both from the new mini.

A flower pot card….

When you pull the flowers up you have the message on a strip inside…

I had made this cut pot a little while ago, and we thought it would be a great project to do at the Stamp-a-thon.

So there you have our mixture of projects made at the Stamp-a-thon. From the feedback we recieved they were all loved by the guests. Some of these I hope to make up as my Make it Mondays in the coming weeks, so you will all learn how to make them as well.

Thank you to everyone who has left me encouraging and supportive comments about the Stamp-a-thon. I would love to reply personally to each of you, but with no time available, I just want you to know that I really appreciate your lovely words, and it has been my pleasure to put together the Stamp-a-thon for the National Breast Cancer Foundation!

Have a lovely weekend….
