All things New!

Hello and Happy New Year!

I've been very lazy and relaxed over Christmas and am very excited to get productive again and starting creating things!  And with that in mind I wanted to show you the brand new things from Stampin' Up!

The amazing people at Stampin' Up! have decided to give us an extra Mini Catalogue this year (yippee!) with brand new stamps, punches, papers, fabrics and...a brand new line of jewellery.  But not just any jewellery, charms that you can customise for family, friends or your favourite outfit! 

You can see the book here or click on the picture to the right.

And I have an extra special one, as during Shelli's presentation onstage in Paris, she showed us European demos a beautiful design, which she then gave away... and I was lucky enough to get one! Will post a photo shortly of Shelli's beautiful design. 
To show all of you the amazing things in the new Mini, and for a chance for you to come and try it out, I'm hosting a workshop on Weds 11th January at 7.30pm at my house.

I would love for you to come and to bring a friend and make something for free that you can take home with you.  Plus a cuppa and some cake with friendly company!

I can't think of anything better when it's so cold and dark out.

Please email me at paperworks@hotmail.co.uk or facebook message me if you would like to come or know more.  You can also order through me from the new Mini, with delivery straight to your door at no extra cost!

I'm also starting a new hostess club shortly where you can order over five months and get a month with freebies worth £30 and all of the current catalogues.  Shout if you'd like to know more.

Disneyland Paris (Convention to follow..!)

This is an old post that I had saved in drafts. Scroll down to previous post to see Havly workshop details xx

Every time I blog I have to apologise for the long absence of any posts and I'm having to do it again!

It has been a crazy few months since the end of August and I'm finally slowing down (although still with a LOT of Christmassy things to do!)

The biggest event recently was Stampin' Up! Convention in Disneyland Paris!  Which was so good that even though I spent a day and a half on the Parcs, when people ask me about it, I don't even think about Disneyland, it's all about Convention!

I was incredibly excited to be meeting up with the team that I only met for the first time last Convention, but have gotten to know a little through blogs and emails and think they are amazing.  Genuinely lovely, friendly people.  How happy am I that we are in the same team!

So after three flights to Paris, arriving in a closing Charles de Gaulle airport, struggling to find the shuttle to my first overnight hotel and having to lift my heavy suitcases up and down the escalators (it was so late they had been switched off!) I finally got to my first hotel room, incredibly relieved and a little tired!

The next day was back to the airport and then getting the Disney bus to the Sequoia Lodge hotel at Disneyland.  That went very smoothly and I got off the bus only to see Amanda and Elizabeth heading in to Reception to check in!  From there we stored bags and hit the Parcs where I saw all of this...

Had a lovely day and a half in the parcs but it was nothing compared to convention!

Convention post to follow...

Please look at my last blog to see details of my up and coming Havly workshop... Weds 8th feb 7.30pm with lots of freebies! x

Lots of new things!

I'm so delighted that I have an afternoon to blog again!  It's been so busy recently with classes, new book launches and workshops!  I've been desperate to show some of the new things on offer in the fabulous Stampin' Up! catalogue for 2011-2012!

So here goes...  I will do shorter but hopefully more regular blogs, and if you do want to see more projects, please add me as a friend on facebook (and put 'crafts' in the request comment box) and I'll add you and you can see the projects as soon as I upload them!

I have only received my new things from the pre-order so cannot wait for the big order to arrive to show you more, but for now here's a simple card with the Just Eat Cake Designer Series Papers and the new Petite Pennants Builder Punch...


If you use the tiny circle punch from the Itty Bitty Punch Pack you can punch out individual letters from two the Just Eat Cake papers and make your own greetings.  Great!

Now for some news!

I'm opening up a new Hostess Club (for people to earn freebies from the new catalogue!) and have a few places left.  It's £30 a month for five months, and on your hostess month you receive £25-30 of goodies from the new catalogue for free!  You also get a free catalogue and can actually host a workshop in your hostess month to boost your freebie amount.  Also, Stampin' Up! are offering hostesses with sales of £300 or more, half price items from the catalogue!  Big Shot for £44 anyone?!

Please email me at paperworks@hotmail.co.uk if you would like more info or to put your name down to join.  You can pay by cash, credit card or cheque and just simply email me your order and wait for me to deliver your great new things!  Great if you're short of time or just want to build up your stash slowly with some freebies thrown in along the way!

Also,  I will be running Christmas classes through November and the beginning of December.  Please watch out for these...

Look forward to hearing from you and leave a comment if you were here!

Happy Stampin'
