Some lovely stamp sets.  My favourite is the Cottage Garden set.  Here are some examples I made from a long time ago.

And more recently a scrapbooking page:

Cottage Garden matches the Sunny Garden DSP perfectly.

Now there is a rumour that these stamp sets will not be in the new Ideas Book and Catalogue when it is reissued later this year - so if you love any of the above sets call me so that I can place the order for you - don't want you to miss out.

New deals will come up every week during May - on a Wednesday ... so watch this space and your inbox and I'll keep you up to date.

SAM Challenge - Olivia

Its challenge time at Stampamemory - this time you are challenged to scrap a photo that is more than 10 years old - not such a problem when you are as behind with your scrapbooking as I am :)

Olivia was almost three when we had this photo taken.  A local photographer asked us if he could take Olivia's photo for a Kodak competition - it wasn't the winning pose but we did get to keep about 50 proofs and her photo hung in the shop window forever and a day.

I've used Sunny Garden DSP - such a lovely pack of paper - perfectly co-ordinated with the In-Colours - oh and the Cottage Garden stamp set.  After placing all the pieces I stamped the outlined flower and cut around - using In-Colour brads for the centres.  

Can you spot the one of the new punches from the Autumn Winter Mini?  It's brilliant - fits well with Oval punches too - I think this will be a popular punch for this mini.

There are a series of carry over products from the Summer Mini including the Lattice embossing folder - so I've cut the alphas out and then run them through the folder to create the title 2 Cute.

So now it is your turn - dig through your old photos and see what you are inspired to create - don't forget to post a link to your blog or send a photo to one of us and we will upload it for you.

Happy scrapping!

Team New Mini Card Swap

 With the start of a new Mini comes in inevitable card swap amongst team members.  Its a great way to have a heaps of cards to show at workshops - we all have different styles and tastes - I love hosting the swaps as this means I get lots and lots of parcels to open :o)

So this is mine ... a simple design I cased from Sue Madex (who recently qualified for the Stampin' Up! Incentive trip - we are all so proud of her).

My card used the new Cottage Garden set and the matching Cottage Wall Designer Series paper.  I've used the 1 3/8" and 1 1/4" circle punches - it was a very quick and easy card to make - just as well as I had to make 16 of them :o)

Hope that you are having a great day ... we are off to Raymond Island for the Easter long weekend ... don't worry I have my crafty box all packed and ready to go ... now I wonder if hubby will notice it stacked in the boot of the car ;o)

 

Art with Heart Team Blog Hop - Autumn Winter Mini Delights :o)

Has another month gone by already ... I am getting older faster than I want too :o)  Well its time again for another Art with Heart team blog hop - Autumn Winter Mini inspiration is our theme this month. Our team, lead by Claire Daly, has over 90 members; we enjoy the added benefit of an extremely active forum - here is just the work of a few of us.

You may have just come from the very talented Kimmy Meiklejohn, but if you are starting here, don’t worry … you can make the complete journey just by following the links at the end of each post. There are 14 stops along the way and we hope you will visit each one to see the wonderful creations we have to show you!

When I first saw the new mini I fell in love with this set ... Cottage Garden - there is even some new Designer Series Paper to match - called Cottage Wall. 

I've used the new Rich Razzleberry cardstock (a new In Colour) and a Versamark pad to create the background print, then added Orchard Opulence and Old Olive to complete the colour combination. 

I love the spiral punch from the Ideas Book and Catalogue and have used it here to create a little extra detail - and backed it with some Old Olive ribbon ...

And of course once I got started ... I couldn't stop at one so here is another using the other side of that yummy stripy Cottage Wall paper ... isn't it brilliant that the flowers match the stamp set. And just how cute is that new butterfly?

Now as usual, if you visit and comment on each blog in the hop and then email ME, you'll be in the draw for some blog candy - this monthly kindly donated by Kathryn Mangelsdorf.  Now unlike me, Kathryn is one organised chickerdee and has posted a picture of the candy for us to drool over, no I mean show ... to you all ..

 It's very  cute .... yes there are die cuts there .... so yes this does mean that the Big Shot has arrived - whooo hooo!  There is a deadline of 72 hours to leave your comments (that's 6.00am AEST 3 April) and only non SU demos are eligible to win - although we'd love all visitors to leave some comments please - thanks girls.

Right onward and upward you go ... blog hop and comment and then email me to let me know ... hope you have fun.  Off you go to our lovely and very creative team leader Claire Daly who has a lovely creation to share.

ps in case you get lost here is the whole list ...
