2014-2015 Annual Catalogue Blog Hop


Welcome to the ESAD 2014-15 Annual Catalogue blog hop!  Whether you started with my post or you arrived here from the very talented Sally Williams, make sure you continue by clicking on the link in each blog and you will enjoy a fabulous round of 25 projects. 

“What is ESAD?

ESAD stands for "Extra Special Australasian Demonstrators" and is a facebook group just for Australian and New Zealand Independent Stampin' Up! demonstrators.

We love what we do & love to share with our customers, friends and blog visitors. We also share what we love in our ESAD Demonstrator community, through swaps, challenges, sharing knowledge, ideas and friendship and we're always there to help and support each other.

So if you are a Stampin' Up! demonstrator located in Australia or New Zealand then please feel free to leave me a comment with your email address then I'll contact you with information on how to join our group.”

Now onto my project :-)

I've used the cute set Zoo Babies and love all the animals in this set. I knew I wanted to use it, but it took me ages to decide how. 


Here's a close up of my fussy cutting of the elephant. It was quite fiddly, but I'm pleased with it and could happily cut out images for hours as I find it very therapeutic. Unfortunately, I don't have hours to do so :-)



Stamp set: Zoo Babies
Card: Whisper White, Coastal Cabana, Pistachio Pudding
Designer Paper: Brights Colour Collection
Ink: Coastal Cabana
Tools: Big Shot, Decorative Dots EF, 6cm Scallop Circle Punch, Circles Collection Framelits
Accessories: Candy Dots (Brights), Designer Buttons (Brights), Linen Thread


I hope you enjoyed looking at my project.  Unfortunately, I didn't get time to do as much as I wanted. Actually between you and me, I only just posted this 20 minutes before the hop was due to start - phew! Everything that could go wrong, pretty much did. Nothing like having a bit of pressure to get you going. I had great intentions of doing this earlier in the week, but it just didn't happen. That's what happens when you over commit yourself :-) 

Anyway, you can now hop on over to Nerida Carter and check out her fabulous project. Don't forget to leave a comment for each blog as I am sure they would all love to hear from you.

Have a great evening and enjoy the rest of you weekend!
