Wish List!

I can finally show you what's been keeping me so busy recently! I've been setting up a Wish List on my main website, for everyone to keep track of the things they want from the new Idea Book & Catalogue. You can share your wish list with your friends and family - a great way to tell them what you really want for Christmas!

Visit www.sparklyshinystuff.co.uk to create your wish list today!

Work behind the scenes

So, after my post a few months back when I promised faithfully to blog more...I have hardly blogged since! I feel a little guilty, but not too much, as my time has been spent on a new project! It's not ready just yet (although so very nearly), but I hope to be able to share it with you all soon.

There have also been a few Christmas card-making classes recently, with more to come. I promise to take pictures of the projects for the next card-making meetup, plus previews for the mini scrapbook class in November.

So, come back soon, there will be more to see, I promise!

Christmas Card Stamp-a-Stack

You can never start making your Christmas cards too early! Too help you get started, I am running a Stamp-a-Stack in October and November, where there will be 3 or 4 different designs and you will be able to make several cards. Join this class and make 12 lovely handcrafted Christmas cards for £10 (or £8 if paid in advance). Visit http://www.meetup.com/The-Glasgow-Card-Making-Meetup-Group/ for information or to sign up. These are some of the designs we'll be making - simple but gorgeous!

Last Chance List

Stampin' Up! will be launching their BRAND NEW Idea Book & Catalogue on the 1st of October, and there are lots of fantastic gorgeous new products! I'm afraid I can't give anything away just now, but watch for some very special offers next month for the launch.

To make room for the new stuff tho, unfortunately we have to say goodbye to some of our current stamp sets and accessories. To make this parting easier, there are discounts on many items of 25% and even 50%! Check out the Last Chance List and snap up these items at bargain prices before it's too late! There is limited stock, so all orders will be filled on a first-come first-served basis. Please e-mail me for more information or to place an order.

September class project

Here's a peek at the project we'll be making at the September class this weekend. It's a lovely little gift carton for some miniature shampoo and bath smellies from a hotel. The class will be on 2 different levels, to suit beginners and more advanced crafters alike. For more information or to sign up please go to http://www.meetup.com/The-Glasgow-Card-Making-Meetup-Group/calendar/11116724/

Mum's birthday

This is a card I made for my Mum for her birthday. It's been a busy month in my family, and I'll try and post a picture of the card I made for my Dad, who's had a birthday too. This card was made using the cupcake stamp out of the Cause for Celebration level 2 hostess set, which can't be bought but is earned by hosting a party and making sales. This set is free in addition to free products from the catalogue. E-mail me for more information on arranging a party (not just in Glasgow, but anywhere in the UK, as there are Demos in most areas.)

Past class project from Saturday 18th April

I realised I haven't posted this picture here. This was the project from the April class. Everyone had fun making these cards and the matching box of sweets. If you'd like the project instruction sheet, with photos describing how these items were made and a template for the box, please e-mail me.
