For all those out there that are familiar with MDS this is my first attempt at making a journal for Stampin Up (R)'s 2013 Convention in Brisbane, Australia on the 23rd to 25th May. This also coincides with their 25th Anniversary which I am very excited to be part of as this is my first convention. Only 36 more sleeps. I am flying out earlier so I can spend time with my brothers who live in Brisbane and Caloundura I can't wait. </h2>

<br />
Happy New Year everyone. Well school started yesterday so it is back to the regular routine (shock to be woken by alarm clock!) This is our lovely cat Scooby Doo. he is about 4 but suffers from brain damages as he was hit by a car at 9 months old. Still functions really well but has his moments when he goes of his rocker. He has lost some sense of smell and his left side of his face and eye have nerve damage, but we love him just the same. Well hopefully I can get some time for card making this week so hope to have another post soon.<br />
<br />
Ciao Shona<br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I love the new SU Kraft boxes I have used the idea of extending the box with window sheet from Barb Bicknell a talented SU Demo. I have used champagne and silver glimmer paper with rhinestones. This box takes a 450gm box of roses chocolates I think about 4 or 4 don't quite fit (hehehe) I have also used the SU snowflake bigz die.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Wow Wow Wow </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">that is what i have to say about the Heartfelt Stampin Up (R) event in Auckland last saturday. This lovely wreath was made by the very talented Sophie Zadeh. She demonstrated some lovely Xmas decorations using Stampin Up (R) products so I am really excited to have a go at making this sometime soon. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I am so amazed at the talent that we have here in New Zealand and with about 130 Demonstartors and guests attending this event I came away inspired so I have been busy when able doing lots of little things starting to think ahead for Christmas which my family is hosting this year. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">We also so had demonstrate, the talents of Julia Leece, Sharlene Mayer and Barbara Bicknell. These ladies rock and their presentations were fab so watch this space as I recreate some of the things they showed us.</span>shona edmondshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12010095471021358835noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6288912326989314276.post-24420355255117448002012-09-12T06:59:00.002+12:002012-09-12T06:59:51.121+12:00Triple Time Stamping<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I love this technique that seems to have taken the</span> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">stamping world by storm. Here is my take using the Summer Solstice set and my colours are Certain Celery, Perfect Plum and So Saffron with Whisper White. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I am really enjoying the Snow Flurry Bigz die and the Champagne Glimmer paper. This card also showcases the Lacy Brocade Textured Impressions Embossing Folder using Very Vanilla Cardstock. I have also used Cherry Cobbler Cardstock and Seam Binding Ribbon. I am looking forward to this Saturday when lots of Stampin Up (R) Demonstrators and guests gather in Auckland (NZ) for our Heartfelt Event to learn and share.</span>shona edmondshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12010095471021358835noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6288912326989314276.post-81653990908422771582012-09-04T07:26:00.000+12:002012-09-04T07:26:41.035+12:00Double swing card<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Recieved my</span> <span style="font-family: Verdana;">pre order goddies last week and I have been having a play. I found this delightful card template on someones blog (sorry did not note the name) Double Swing Card and thought i would have a go. I have used the following Stampin Up (R) items.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Cardstock: Very Vanilla, Cherry Cobbler and Champagne glitter paper.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Tools: Bigz Die Snow Flurry, Lables Collection Framelits, Circle Punch from Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack, 1" Circle Punch.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Others: Snail, Glue Dots.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">I found the best way to attach the beautiful glimmer paper was with glue dots.</span><br />

Rod and they boys really wanted a puppy and i didn't because all the usual stuff would be left to me (training, cleaning up pee and poo, feeding etc) anyway to cut a long story short Rod came across him and it was love at first sight (can't say i blame him) so we got this tiny little fella about 4 1/2 months ago (he will be 7 months on 14th Sept his birthday is valentines day!!) and he has made a big impact in our family and is a real gem at times. I will see if this works and post more soon.</span>shona edmondshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12010095471021358835noreply@blogger.com4
