Get me!.... being all professional!!!!...

My NEW business cards JUST arrived - and being Mrs Last-Minute.com and not designing and ordering them until 12:24pm yesterday - I'm RATHER impressed!!!!  

(Muchas gracis to www.hippoprint.co.uk!)

Tomorrow I am off to the beautiful village of 'Port Sunlight' on the Wirral to set up our 'SU stand'

at the HAPPY STAMPERS NORTHWEST SPRING FESTIVAL - looking forward to the show on Saturday - and hoping to be busy, busy, busy!!

Myself and 2 wonderful friends & fellow demonstrators Dorothy & Victoria will be at the festival, doing 'Make & Take' sessions, talking about 'Stampin' Up!' and hopefully taking lots of orders and possibly even signing up a few more demonstrators to spread the 'Stampin' Up' word!!!

All the 'MAKE & TAKE' Session kits are prepared and during the 20 minute slots we'll each make 2 cards one of each of the following....

  

... and as a 'Thankyou' each participant will get a lovingly gift wrapped, FREE 'Stampin' Up!' stamp to take home with them!

If you have a ticket for the festival - we'll look forward to seeing you there!

For the Birthday Girl!!...

Last night I realised I hadn't made a card for my daughter Maddy (bad mummy!)  So, after both girls were in bed I got out the 'Owl Builder' Punch (118074) and started to play...

These little cuties were put together
using scraps of card in...
* Crumb Cake
* Pink Pirouette
* Early Espresso
* Melon Mambo
* Whisper White
* Basic Black
I embossed the Pink with the 'Perfect Polka Dots' TIEF (117335)

And here is the finished card...

It was actually quite quick to put together...
* Whisper White A4, cut & folded to a 14.8cm square card blank
* Baja Breeze cut to 14cm square, embossed 2/3rds with 'Cloudy Day' TIEF (127022) and the 'Modern Label' punch (119849) used on the bottom right prior to adhering to card blank.
* Early Espresso tree, cut free hand from 14cm x 12cm piece, ribbon wrapped round the trunk is not SU - sorry :-(
* Old Olive leaves, made by punching 3 1-3/8 circles, then re-inserting into punch to make 2 'ovals' from each, then scored down centre and folded. The glue was applied to the 'score line' to create dimension.
* Pink Pirouette was stamped using the 'Teeny Tiny Sentiments' stamp set (129579) and Early Espresso Ink (126974) then punched with the 'Word Window' punch (119857) and placed on dimensionals inside Modern Label aperture.
* Finally my owl was placed on a dimensional on it's branch. - DONE!

She loved it! - Bless her!  I can't believe my 1st baby is 8!!

I now have to spend the rest of my day in the kitchen... homemade pizza and cupcakes have been requested for birthday tea! 

Thankfully on Friday I get the night off as we're going bowling and i've promised MacDonalds as a treat!!
