Top Note from Stampin UP Uk collides with my ribbon scraps

Hi everyone.  Stampin Up Uk Independent demo Lisa here.  Otherwise known as Crunchie Crafts.

In today's post

• Top Note and ribbons
• Birthday Celebrations only today and tomorrow left

Top Note and Ribbons

I don't know about you, but I always have an amazing amount of ribbon scraps shoved in a box.  I had been wondering what to do with them, when my friend Sandra showed me a card she had made whilst living in Australia.  Its just so cute.

So I set to work.

I used the top note die and lots of ribbon scraps along with a circle from my framelits.  And lots of punches to create the features of the owl.

The ribbons are stapled onto the base before the top note is added.  I used crumb cake and chocolate chip for the base and matt on my card.

I simply adore this one and cannot bear to part with it.

Sneaky Peak ......... do you want to see part of my big secret?

Hi guys, Lisa here, your Stampin Up UK independent demonstrator.

Thank you to everyone who has ordered this last week and the week before using the hostess code.  I am so looking forward to sending out your free goodies at the end of next week.  

In today's post

• Sneak Peak 
• Birthday Celebtrations
• Last day of this week's Weekly Deals

Sneak Peak

Every year Stampin UP UK hold a competition for all its demonstrators.  The projects are all displayed at our Convention, which is an amazing event to attend, and the winners are showcased and congratulated.

I joined Stampin Up in May 2013, and decided that I would enter last year's competition. This was my entry.

I loved making this box and book set and was over the moon, when I saw I had achieved 1st place.

So we now come to 2014.  Did I enter?  Could I achieve something as good as this or better?  I felt compelled to enter and very pressurised to come up with something very different.

Anyway I have, but I cannot show it to you yet, but I can give you a sneaky peak.........

So do you know what this is?  Can you guess what it's for?  Or even what I am making?  

I will reveal the whole thing on the 26th September 2014. 

Keep checkin back for more sneaky peaks.

Flowers Flowers and not a piece of card in sight

Morning everyone, Lisa here, your local Stampin UP UK Independent Demonstrator.

In today's post

• Flowers, flowers and yet more flowers, but no card in sight
• Birthday celebration give aways
• free good greetings

HI guys, today I wanted to share something new that I have started doing.  My Mum, bless her, bought me a flower arranging course for my birthday.  How cool is that.  There is a great shop in Taunton called Eden and they run amazing floristry courses.  So I have a four week course.  I am hoping that you won't mind if I share my other creative side with your once a week.

So here's what we started with - a bucket of flowers

lots of lovely inspiring colours in this bucket.  Three Roses, three gerbra, ivy, lilies and some other foliage.

  

Don't they look fab.  Above are views from above and the side of the arrangement.  They are very proudly placed on my dining room table.  I even managed to create an extra little ribbon and raffia bow to adorn my design.  

Thanks Jane and everyone it was a great afternoon.
