Morning all,

So I am back from Telford about 3 weeks now and I have my stampers 6 in place and my 7 year old has drawn out the names for me....they will be coming out on email soon ladies!

I am now full of get up and go with trying to get my blog up and running and although I haven't posted weekly that will come because I have set myself a challenge to do a sneek peek of new product for you each week until the launch of the new catalogue on June 1st....exciting :)

So I am going to be doing a catalogue launch in June to showcase the new products, there will be a make a take, new products to look at and try out, bits for sale, lots of fun and refreshments to be had..maybe even a cheeky slice of cake to get us crafting.

So here we are my very first sneek peek using stamps sets Playful Backgrounds and Thankful Thoughts combined with the new Layering Square Framelits Dies.

Thank you for reading and happy crafting

Onstage 2016

On Friday 15th I travelled to Telford ready for Onstage local which took place on Saturday 16th April. There were 380 demonstrators there all swapping and ready for some creative fun and of course the business side of things too which covered lotd of different areas.  But first the exciting stuff, everyone arrived and registered and at thatoint we got a tote bag, a pencil case, some pens and a brand new stamp set...whoop whoop. Everyone did there swaps and entered a little competition, i won some buttons.

We hadnt been sat down long when we all received a copy of the new 2016/17 catalogue and therefore got to see all the new products and those all important new in colours...I can't share anything at the moment but I will beable to in time :)   Onstage live was done in Utah in the USA so alot of what we saw was filmed but ok to watch.

There were many prize patrols throughout the day and alot more than previous years which was brilliant because everyone won something, we also had an all attendance give away which was fab and a little perk thrown in at the end, where each table could share out the bits that we had used for make and takes...of course we all quickly obliged!The day finally came to an end and we all left to either go back to our hotels or travel back home.

The next Onstage Local is in November 2016...so better get thinking of swap ideas.

Happy crafting

Lots of things coming up to look forward too...firstly and most importantly I have a new downline called Amy, I get to meet her tomorrow and also introduce her to my up line Christine, she seems really ambitious and has been crafting for a while so I know she will become an amazing downline and have great success with Stampin! Up.

Secondly the #imbringingbirthdaysback stamp comes to the UK tomorrow....I have been waiting for this since Shannon West (a US demo) created it and carved the stamp herself....it is a brilliant concept and will hopefully get people off social media and sending cards.  Looking forward to stamping this on an envelope coming through your door soon.

That's all for now, be back soon.

Happy crafting
