Secret Santa goodies!

Hope you had a fabulous Christmas Day yesterday!  Today is officially a ‘day of rest’ in our household. We travelled 4 hours, had two huge special lunches/dinners, and one 3 year old who melted down because he was soooooooo over it!!

As a demonstrator, I am really lucky to belong to a number of stamper groups, one is the “Elite” stampers. We have a great forum to discuss things and get ideas, inspiration and support. Quite a few of us participated in a ‘Secret Santa’ exchange of SU products. I opened mine yesterday and this is what I received:   How fabulous!! An envelope template, a jumbo nursery wheel, ribbon, brads, hodgepodge, a beautiful xmas card and lots of other bits. Thank you soooo much Secret Santa!! Now I have to be a detective and try and work out who sent it!! I think I’ll be still guessing this time next year!!

If you are interested in becoming a demonstrator, contact me via email andrea.eppingstall@gmail.com, or by phone 0400 038833, and I can send you out an information pack. When you join during ‘sale-a-bration’ (Jan/Feb), you receive a FREE stamp set (a value up to $79.95) from the current catalogue, when you buy your kit ($324) which has over $500 of product value!!

Last Christmas card!

Well, here’s the last Christmas card I’m going to show you for the year.
It’s loosely based on a card that Kerri made available at our World Cardmaking Day Fundraiser. This one is in real red, with white craft ink.

I hope you’re family has a great Christmas and New Year and Santa finds you all!

Merry Christmas from me to you!

Here’s a recent pic of our two boys at the little one’s Creche Christmas party! They had a ball, and love wearing their Santa hats!

Happy Birthday to me! Merry Christmas to you!

Christmas stocking gift!

How cute is this?

We had a ‘stampin’ night’ at my friend Tracey’s house last night, and held it as a ‘girls night in’ for cancer fundraising.

Tracey came up with this great idea to give everyone one of these little ‘christmas stockings’ with goodies in it, to say thank you! I think the colour is ruby red which has been cuttlebugged with the swiss dots embossing sheet, and then whisper white has been covered in dazzlin diamonds using the 2 way glue pen.

They kids thought it was Christmas this morning!

More Xmas cards..

This is another card made from ‘Hung up on the holidays’ stamp set (RRP $29.95) with real red, tempting turquoise, and silver. The salutation is from the level 1 hostess set “So Many Sayings”.
