Class for this week

This Thursday we will be making these cards, they are so nice and clean looking with a touch of elegance about them.
You could add any sentiment of your choice or stamps for this layout.
The internet is a wonderful way to get ideas and for love of me I can't remember who or where I got the inspiration from for these cards it is a while since I made them, so to the ladies who designed these cards a big thank you for your wonderful ideas and my sincere apologies for not crediting you with these designs.
To all the talented ladies of the Stampin'Up! Community a great big THANK YOU from all of us.
That is the reason you need to jot down were you get your ideas from so as to give credit where due.
Thank you for popping into my site from time to time.
Cheers Gail.

New In Colours from Stampin'Up!®

The new catalogue is out and there are some really great things in it, click on the side bar and take a look I am sure you will love what you see. For one of our classes we made these two cards in the in colours. The first card is just using the in colours with the in colour ribbons attached, that way everyone had a sample of the new in colours. The next card was still using the in colours and new DSP showing how you can use your old favourite toys from Stampin'Up.
Here is to next time, cheers Gail.

Something Cute

Hi one and all,
Here is a project we did at one of our classes and it was a great success with everyone loving it.
You could just make the file box in different colours and different DSP to hold your ready made cards i.e. baby, children, male, female , etc. It would be so easy to find your cards when you are in a hurry.
But best of all it is a lovely gift to give someone special.
Enjoy Gail.
