Sale-a-Bration 2014 is HERE!


Our favourite time of the year has arrived! If you haven't experienced Sale-a-Bration (SAB) before, here's what all the fuss is about... Stampin' Up rewards you with FREE goodies for every $110 you spend - no limits. These products are not available to purchase and are only available until 31 March. There are lots of goodies to choose from including stamp sets, gorgeous designer paper and accessories. Warning: they are all extremely fabulous.
Anyone hosting a $700 workshop during this time earns an extra $55 hostess dollars on top of the usual $110. If you'd like to get a group of girlfriends together one afternoon or evening, do think about hosting a party. Click HERE for more information. As the hostess, you stand to earn FREE merchandise and an Annual Catalogue (or ink pad if you already have an AC), dependent on sales. During Sale-a-Bration, it is a great time to host, as everyone is tempted by receiving something for FREE.

And, if you'd ever thought of becoming a demonstrator - now is the time to join!!  Whether it's as a hobbyist (wanting a discount to fund your addiction) to someone looking for a small flexible business doing and sharing something you love, now is the time, as you get to choose $305 worth of products and pay only $189! Click HERE to read more, if you are interested.

Better Late Than Never...

This lovely Christmas card was sent to me by Judy Beetson. I was suppose to have blogged it while I was away on holiday, but I didn't even turn my laptop on. Better late than never aye?! I had to show it to you, because it features the new Circle Thinlits die. Isn't Judy the clever one?! 

I also thought that it was the perfect opportunity to wish you all a Happy New Year. I know that I'm a tad late, but at least it's still January ;-)



Stamp set: Heart of Christmas (retired), Delightful Decorations (retired)
Card: Night of Navy
Designer Paper: Winter Frost Speciality 
Ink: Versamark 
Accessories: Silver Embossing Powder, Island Indigo Bakers Twine, Basic Jewels
Tools: Big Shot, Circle Thinlits Die

Here's another very special Christmas card that I received - from the Prime Minister and his lovely wife Bronagh. I was fortunate enough to be on the CHOGM flight at the end of last year to Sri Lanka and Thailand and all of the cabin crew received one of these. 


And, while I'm still on the subject of Christmas cards, here's the one I made for my darling. It may look familiar because it's a case of Delys Cram's Christmas card but has a different message and image. 


Stamp set: Christmas Messages
Card: Whisper White, Pool Party
Ink: Metallic Encore Silver, Versamark, Pool Party
Accessories: Silver Embossing Powder
Tools: Large Heart Punch, Heat Tool, Big Shot, Pretty Prints EF, Piercing Tool

I've been back at work for more than a week already after a wonderful two weeks away. I spent time down at Ohakea and Palmerston North with my family, two daughters and fiancĂ© Brett. It was lovely and relaxing albeit the time went too fast, and is almost a distant memory. I hope to be back into a routine soon and will endeavour to blog more regularly. 

We've got lots of exciting things coming up including the ever popular Sale-a-Bration starting on 28 January and a brand new Occasions catalogue launching on 28 January too! In the meantime, have a GREAT day and I'll see you back soon!
