Not again
Been up for most of the night with Toby - poor wee chap is not feeling well and I am fed up changing sheets so he is watching tv - not much on at this time of night and I am on the computer.
Here are some pictures taken on Saturday.
Dawn hard at work!
At least Kara had time to smile!
And so did Kirsteen!
Will be back later with the project I did. There are picture on Fiona's and Dawn's blog too.
Yes Dawn - you will get yours on Saturday! I had better get my bag!
Wednesday 18 November 2009

Convention Photos
Time to share some piccies taken at convention. Tried to do this yesterday but my computer decided it was time to update itself and shut everything down.
EDINBURGH AIRPORT
Back Row (left to right): Kirsteen, Dawn, Annie, Louise
Front Row (left to right): Theresa, Lynne, ME, Emma.
GALA DINNER
Dawn and me in our glad rags. The beautiful thistle brooch was a roomie gift from Dawn and was PURPLE - my favourite colour.
This Emma and me with our Ness bags - check out www.nessbypost - and I LOVE my Ness shoes too. Just wait till next year's convention when there will be far more tartan (hopefully).
This was our table at Convention - next door to us was Shelli and her husband so we were on our best behaviour, except when it came to the awards when we all cheered madly for Dawn who was up and down to the stage well politely like a yoyo. Huge Congratulations to Dawn for all she has acheived and especially the all expenses paid trip to Monaco next June. (Maybe I can squeeze into her suitcase.
These are all the Scottish demos that were at Conventio. we just had to jump on stage and have our picture taken with Shelli. She did comment how small we were!
Convention was such fun and it is a shame that it is over. I am still buzzing with excitment and plans.
If you would like to join in the fun, contact me and find out the benefits of becoming a Stampin' Up! demonstrator.

Convention #4
As some of you know I do like my stampamajig so I did about 80 trees, a total of 20 cards.
Trendy Trees - kraft, choc chip, pumpkin pie, always artichoke, elegant eggplant (used perfect plum ink) and night of navy. The tag punches work so well with this set. The November offers mean that you can get a free punch if you spend £45 on items from the gift giveing guide.
The second was using Flight of the Butterfly stamp set and matching punch. I also added vellum carstock. Colours used were black, elegant eggplant, kraft and taken with teal.
I have yet to go through my box of swaps that I received - think that will be like Christmas.

Convention #3
It is a coaster using the new Bella Bleu Design Series Paper, Kraft card, taffeta ribbon, loads of letters, Not Quite Navy cardstock and the Bella's Bloom stamp set. The monogram chipboard was stamped with the new Bella Toile background stamp.
These products are fast becoming some of my favorites.
Here is a piccie of my card candy swap I did.
I used baroque motifis and really liked the challenge of trying to come up with toppers.
Hope you like it too.
In return I got fabulous swaps.
Check back for more - will post some photos of our trip.

Convention - Post #1
Thanks to Abi for sharing her photo of me - if I was any good at computer stuff then I could have highlighted her name - but I shall just insert her blog here - http://cornwallcraftystamper.blogspot.com/. I though I would return the favour. Not in focus but you get the message
URRRRRGHH
Here is a much prettier one:
Check back for more piccies and GOSSIP - never laughed so much in my life. What a hoot.
Also thanks to those people who made my weekend such "an experience". Maybe we need to visit some more.

Just wondering if anyone would be interested in joining a:
STAMPER'S 10 GROUP
I am starting a Stamper's 10 group at the beginning of October and have places available so if you would like your name to be added to the list please email me.
Being in a Stamper's 10 group is such a great way to build up you collection, spread the costs and BENEFIT as a hostess without having an actual party.
Join my new group and you will receive a copy of the NEW catalogue which will have new hostess sets to choose from!!!
All orders are shipped to me and I distribute them - also I do not charge P&P for Stamper's 10 orders.
HOW IT WORKS
Would you like some free stamps and free product?
Who wouldn’t?
Well with Stampin’ Up! and a bit of help from me you can.
Here’s how it works: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.
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.
By joining a Stampers 10 Club you get the chance to spread the cost while building up your collection, and still being able to enjoy the free benefits. It’s that simple.
DONT DELAY PLACES FILLING UP
Happy Stampin'
Kind Regards
Elaine

Another week - another card!
This must be a new record for me - a new blog post!!
My Mum asked me to make a card for a friend who is turning 70 this week.
Thanks to Karen Burniston for the inspiration - teal and black card - Karen Fab Blog
It was fun using the Sizzix pop up cake die. The centre structure was reinforced to stop it collapsing. I used Temping Turquoise and Black cardstock, Baroque motifs stamp set and lots of bling!
It is my Mum's birthday today so Happy Birthday to her and yes she did get a handmade card from me too!
Hope you like it.
Thursday 23 July 2009

First Blog Post
I can thank my husband for the name as he is a fan of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe.
Showing our age but never mind - used to love Father Ted as Father Dougal had a He-Man duvet set - wonder if I can find one on ebay!
Will get myself organised and keep this up todate and edited when I can.
