A little bit of brightness ..........

At Stampin Up they have made it easy for you to colour co-ordinate your projects.  All inks, papers, markers and accessories come in colour ranges.

I decided to try out one of my favourite quick albums in the BRIGHTS collection.  This range is stunning.  Anyway with a couple of teenagers in the house it was easy to collect the 10 toilet roll holders needed.  The Swallowtail butterfly was just jumping out at me  and I just knew it would look fantastic in these colours.

I made the covers and hinges, and decorated the toilet roll inners, before making tags and decorating them.

Here's the result:

So you see, even the smallest of mini albums can hold a wealth of memories.  If you fancy holding a workshop to learn how to do this drop me an email. (Address at the top of the blog).  All items used to make this can also be ordered direct from me.

Everything apart from the toilet roll holders, is a Stampin Up product.  The card and inks and ribbons are all from the Brights collection.  I made the tags using a stamping punch and die set.  All the fronts of the tags were stamped using different stamp sets in Coastal Cabanna and Tangerine Tango.

I had great fun making this litte bit of cuteness.

DON'T FORGET  to check out my blog over the next couple of days to see the wonderful Christmas goodies we have on offer.

Have a great day.

Autumn/Winter Launch ........... are you invited??

Hi guys

Where has the time gone.  Since joining Stampin Up, I have seen the launch of the New Catalogue and now it is almost time to launch the Autumn/Winter collection.  I can honestly tell you that it is amazing, there is not ONE thing in there I want.  That's because I want IT ALL.  

The ideas are inspiring, the kits outstanding and the colours for Christmas, fall and halloween are divine.  From the Designer Series Papers, to complete kits to make projects.  Stamp sets, dies and much more, there is nothing that I know I wouldn't use.  I would use it all.  Have I wet your appetite?  

I have been lucky enough to get my hands on a few of the goodies from this launch and have been busy making samples to show you .......... there will be sneek peaks on my blog from Monday 2nd September.  Check back and keep looking ........... I guarantee you'll love it.

Anyway in order to let as many of my friends know about these products I have been busy making invites to send out to a personal viewing.  Have you received one in the post?  If so please let me know if you will be coming, and during which time slot.

There will be lots to see and lots of stuff to make and take. 

The invites I made were all from the gorgeous and subtle 2013/15 In colour range and I have used the same colour ink pad on the cardstock.  I used Baked Brown Sugar, and Pistachio Pudding to start (as you can see below) but made some in each of the other 3 colours. 

I used the Very Vintage Wheel to stamp, along with the OH Hello stamp set.  To finish off I made a trim at the bottom with the Scallop Edge Punch.  I just love them.  So look out in your letterbox, you may just be lucky enough to receive one.  If you don't get one and would like to come take a look at the goodies on show, drop me an email, and I can send you the details.

Hugs
