I attended a Stampin' Up! regional training day recently. In fact I was asked to do a ten-minute presentation - what a lovely compliment, but very nerve-racking! So since I have been playing with re-inker techniques over the last few months, I decided to show two really easy, but fun techniques that make you go "wow"!
Some people have difficulty with masculine cards, whether it is for birthdays, anniversaries or Father's Day. I wrote down some thoughts to help you with your creations for the men in your life...
If you pre-ordered a new 2010-2011 Idea Book & Catalogue before Saturday, 14 August, you were put in the draw to win a $10 Creative Stamping voucher. The draw was held on the Sunday and the winner was Toni from Cambridge. I gave the voucher to her last week...
On Sunday we held the Hamilton Stamptacular, where there were ten demonstrators and fifty guests. The day had an airport theme: there was a Check-In Desk, passports, a departures area (where the retiring stamp sets and products were on display) and an arrivals area (where some of the the new stamp sets and products were displayed). Each guest got to make four projects, which introduced them to new techniques and ideas. It was a great day and surprisingly relaxing!
For the 3-cards in 3-hours Workshop we made three cards, each one with a different re-inker technique. Did you know that ink refills can be used as a tool? They are not just for re-inking our stamp pads and Stampin' Around wheel cartridges.

The theme of this ATC swap was children. I knew I wanted to use a photo of my baby son's hand (who is now four). When I went hunting through all our photos I didn't find the photo I was looking for, but instead found a photo of my son's hand with my Great Nana's hand, which I just love. The photo was taken at my Great Nana's 100th birthday, it is her hand and my, then, 1 month-old boy.
