New Additions to come

I was working on the blog, as I plan to revamp it and use it more efficiently and I noticed that the description reads "I have created this blog mostly for me, to display some of the cards, scrapbook pages and other paper craft things that I create and rearly share". But I have added only cards but no scrapbook pages, so my next post will be a scrapbook page.  So stay tuned!..

Can't believe it has been months

Not sure what has happened, but it has been months since I wrote here last.  It is not that I have not been making things, but I have been giving them away before I photograph them. So as per my New Year's Resolution I will update the blog regularly!!! Lets see how we go.  I'm in the process of making some cards now, so I will post again soon.

Just a brief note

I've noticed something interesting about me. I love making cards for my friends and their kids. I'm not sure what happens to those cards after I present these to them, but it is such a rewarding experience watching them open the envelop and seeing the card, that that is enough for me.

A few days ago I made card for my girlfriends little girl. She was turning one and we had a small get together to celebrate with her and other friends and kids. I made a really cute card and for the first time in my life a made a card with stamping and water colouring. I loved the end result. And here is the bit I learnt ...... I'm TOO lazy and disorganised. I DIDN'T TAKE A PICTURE!!!! It is not the first time. I have made other cards (I can think of a couple of cards that I made for my sister in law, niece and friends, birthdays) where I was quite proud of my achievement and have no record of them. The intention was to create a post every time I did a card and then add the picture here. The obvious option would be to ask them to take a picture, but that would be too embarrassing to ask them to take a picture of the card I gave them and then send this to me.

Doh, doh, doh ...

Another option .... is to replicate them and do what I had originally planned. So the cards that come to mind are:

• Sister in law birthday card - origami ladies dress
• Niece 2nd birthday card - origami girl dress
• Friends son's 5th birthday card - soccer ball
• Friend daughter's 1st birthday card - stamping balloons and water/ink paiting with my water pencil
• Friend son's 4th birthday card - spider man

Boy it looks like I will be busy doing these.

Until then.

I've become a Stampin Up Demonstrator

Well kind of.

I decide to join during the Scrapbook Special they had, where you paid a lower amount, but you only got the Scrapbook Additional Kit only. So my intention is to have a workshop at least every 2 months and perhaps organise a class in between depending on the upcoming events.

My lovely up line offered to do my first workshop because in my enthusiasm I had never even attended a workshop and so I have no idea how to run them. Anyway, my intention is to run one myself at the beginning of the next quarter.

I'm really looking forward to it. Plus in addition I participate in my up line's monthly stamping classes where I've been learning heaps (which I have been posting already and which I plan to continue still).



So a new adventure has began!!!!!
