Feeling summery in all this rain

Had a great time with my ladies at craft class on Tuesday making this box and matching gift cards. The DSP is the new Island Oasis from the Summer mini catalogue, isn't it bright and sunny? Just what we needed with all the rain lately! If you'd like to learn how to make these cards or a similar project, why not book your own workshop? It's free and is a chance to get together with friends and get creative. You could get money to spend in the 2010/11 catalogue (and the Summer mini catalogue too), and get free stamp sets only available to hostesses! Please contact me for more information at flickandmick@aapt.net.au

NEW Summer mini catalogue!

Have a look at the new Summer mini catalogue from Stampin' Up! As usual they have excelled themselves by giving us a variety of products to inspire us creatively. I love the new punches, especially the big scallop circle as it layers beautifully with the large circle punch and works well with the sweet treat cups. I also love the Smooch Spritz, that gives a delicate spattering of gold or silver ink on your projects. Have a look yourself, and then contact me to place your order!

Christmas frenzy!

As well as being able to order from the new Summer mini catalogue, From December 1st you can also take advantage of these fantastic items at up to 50% off catalogue price! Contact me to place your order, and get some great stocking fillers!

I had a great day last week with my girls, making five Christmas cards at Pelican's Nautical treasures in Redland Bay. It was the perfect place to be creative, overlooking the water and watching the boats go by. The day was a big success, and I hope to be able to run some more classes from there soon, watch this space for more details!

There is still time to book your first workshop of the new stamping year, I have some dates left in October now, so get in quick! You'll get a FREE catalogue of your own by hosting the workshop, and the chance to earn products through sales so it's well worth having one.
$59 was raised for the Mater Mothers' from the sale of raffle tickets to win a Simply Sent kit, and the lucky winner was Rachael, so congratulations!
