Completed Ustamp projects

I have been having so much fun completing some of the projects from Ustamp and have some photo's to share. I have been having trouble with downloading photo's so here goes!

Ustamp with Dawn and friends Group

I joined this group for some new ideas and have been inspired to make the following projects.

This is the "Notes and Treats Box" as it has a draw to put cards in and a box on the top for treats.

U Stamp with Dawn Site

I have just joined "U Stamp with Dawn" and have been amazed with the photos and projects that are available in class form on this site. Some well known Stampin Up Demonstrators are sharing their ideas and it is nice to meet some more Crafty Ladies! I will be adding photos and links once I have completed some of the projects.



In the meantime check out the following blogs:

RAK's received from "Stampin_Up_In_Oz"

Nikki Stalker, an Australian Stampin Up Demo, has started a Yahoo Group called Stampin_Up_In_Oz and we try to send a RAK Card or Gift once a month to people in the group. This is a great way to share new ideas and it is also fun as you don't know when you will get a lovely surprise in the post. Lets face it the Postman is always so good at delivering BILLS!!










The Rooster card was made by Tanya Kitto and you can find more of her designs on her blog.

This card is from Fiona Platzer .

Time Flies!

I had great intentions over 12 month ago to share some of my Scrapbooking pages and cards I have made. Some will be CASED ideas and I hope I can remember where the inspiration has come, if I don't and you do please leave a comment so I recognise the artist.

Tonight I started a 4 week course on the "Storybook Creator Plus Software" from Creative Memories and have a very sore brain! Partially due to a Laptop that is too slow. Once I have a few pages done I will share my limited knowledge, and we may both be able to learn something. If you would like to try the Free Downloadable version the link is on my sidebar.

Figgy Pudding Christmas Questions!

1. Wrapping paper or gift bags? When someone has taken the time, money and effort to think of me, buy/make me a present and give it to me - it really doesn't matter how it's presented. Having said that, paper or bag, it's always extra special when the giver has added extras - tissue paper, bow, ribbons, straw etc.
2. Real tree or Artificial? Artificial. Michael wanted a real tree when we first got together but I found that it gave me Hayfever so back to the original!
3. When do you put up the tree? We try to put it up at the beginning of December
4. When do you take the tree down? Usually in the first week of January
5. Do you like egg nog? No.
6. Favorite gift received as a child? Bike, Barbies,?? Not sure
7. Do you have a nativity scene? No, it's something I'd like to have but all the one's I fall in love with are TOO EXPENSIVE!
8. Hardest person to buy for? Michael
9. Easiest person to buy for? Daughter as she usually has a long list!
10. Mail or email Christmas cards? I always sent LOTS. Emailed the Creative Memories ones and then posted the rest. Sometimes include a Newsletter about the Clan.
11. Worst Christmas gift you ever received? Cheap Perfume
12 . Favorite Christmas movie? Miracle on 34th street...
13. When do you start shopping for Christmas? I shop all year round. I have a place where I keep all these gifts. However, as the children grow, and their tastes change throughout the year I'm tending to shop closer to Christmas.
14 . Have you ever recycled a Christmas present? Yes
15. Favorite thing to eat at Christmas? Rays Christmas Pudding with Brandy cream sauce, Rum Balls with extra Rum
16 . Clear lights or colored on the tree? We have coloured...for no particular reason.
17. Favorite Christmas song? I like lots of them. I don't like to sing silent night - although I do like the words. I don't like it when people sing common songs in a way that makes it hard to sing along.
18. Travel at Christmas or stay home? Christmas Day is usually at our house but we travel for the Carlyle Christmas which is the weekend before Christmas
19. Can you name all of Santa's reindeers? ...maybe....
20. Angel on the tree top or a star? Old Angel, need to look for something NEW
21 . Open the presents Christmas Eve or morning? Christmas morning. We have opened some Christmas eve if we have lots from out of town..otherwise it's too overwhelming on Christmas day.
22 . Most annoying thing about this time of year? Impatient and rude people at the shops!
23. Favorite Christmas ornament? I have a new favourite every year!
24. Favorite thing for Christmas dinner? Prawns or leftover 's from lunch
