I am so excited!!! On Monday I achieved the Stampin' Up! Grand Vacation - an all-expenses-paid Mediterranean cruise for my husband and me in May next year. It is still a bit surreal but, as you can expect, I am really happy right now! It's been a lot of hard work to earn this trip, but I couldn't have done it without you.

Using the Sketched Dots Gift Bags, I created these simple but sweet treat wrappers...

Christmas is 4 months away today! Have you planned your Christmas cards? Here's an idea... it's a Latch Card using the Peaceful Wreath stamp set and coordinating Wonderful Wreath Framelits Dies...

This simple, low-cost Christmas card uses the Cozy Christmas stamp set and Home for Christmas DSP. It would be great one for mass-producing if you need a lot of Christmas cards this year.

On Saturday I had the privilege to share my day with lots of lovely demonstrators at a training event in Auckland.

Inspired by the stamped Mini Muslin Bag on page 77 of the Annual Catalogue, I created this thank you card using the Circle of Spring stamp set and coordinating Wonderful Wreath Framelits...

Father's Day Card

This Sunday is Father's Day here in New Zealand and I have been playing with some of the new products from the 2015 Holiday Catalogue to create something special for my Dad. I made a gatefold card and used the plaid patterned paper from the Merry Moments DSP Stack to fold a shirt for the card front - it reminds me of a men's flannel shirt!
