This is becoming one of my favourite sets!

Ink - Chocolate Chip, Always Artichoke, Really Rust
Designer Series Paper - To the Nines Speciality

And the branch can be used as a tree :)  This is a covered 18p notebook from Asda.  The pen just has a roll of paper in it.  Perfect for writing all my lists in!

Stampers 10

This is something I'd like to start in October for the launch of the new catalogue. Please let me know if you are interested.


When you host a workshop you need a minimum of £150 in sales to qualify for one set of free stamps and £15.00 worth of product from the catalogue

· In a Stampers 10 club there are 10 members.
· The club runs for ten months.
· Each member agrees to spend a minimum of £15.00 per month, before postage.
· Each month a different club member is chosen to be the hostess.
· You do not actually have to host a workshop – it’s like having a virtual party.
· When it is your turn to be the hostess you are guaranteed to receive a level one hostess set of your choice free plus at least £15 to spend in the catalogue.
· You also get a free copy of the catalogue.

This can also be done as a Stampers 6 where the amount would be £25 per month (plus postage). Or if you want more then you can take more than one place :)

August promo Blog Hop

As mentioned in my last post I am taking part in a blog hop to show how Stampin' Up! stamps can be used in scrapbooking. Those following the blog hop should have got here via Pat.  I hope you liked her layout using Trendy Trees :) Welcome to those who have started from my blog - I've just been round the hop and there are so many lovely projects for you to see.  The link to the next blog is at the end of this post.

I haven't scrapped for a while so thought I'd get back in to it with a small layout.  This is a 6" x 6" page of my sister and husband not long after they got married.  The bottom left of the page is Bird on a Branch and all other stamps are from the Tiny Tags set.  When I thought of using this set I only had the Mr and Mrs tag in mind.  I was very pleased to discover the flowers and the hearts and think I'll get good use out of them.
