Where Have I Been!?!

As everyone can see, I have not posted in a long while. These last few months have been slightly chaotic with getting a new job, discovering that we are expecting our first child, and well, just plain crazy life.

This weekend myself and a few other demostrators will be at Gibraltar Weekend Market in London, for a huge scrapbook event, feel free to pop by! It is also the last weekend to get in on the Sale-A-Bration Event, which means lots of free stamping stuff! Click here to view the flyer on the Stampin Up! web page or email me for details and a copy of the flyer.

I just want to let everyone know that I am hoping to get back into posting on a regular basis soon.

Santa Bear Challenge

My upline, Alesha issued a challenge to all the demos that attended the Quarterly meeting on Monday night,

to make a bear using the "Beary Merry" dies - basically to make and decorate a bear wearing Santa's outfit. 
We had no restrictions other than it was JUST the bear (no card, layout, boxes) and it had to use only Stampin' Up material.
This was my entry for the challenge. While I was playing around with the pieces I noticed that the female shoes fit nicely on the bears head… and Elvis Bear was born! 
The prize for the challenge winner was all of the other bears that everyone entered, and I WON!! Yay, so hear are the other super cool bears that were entered in the challenge:





These are Jazz’s festive family of bears!

Alesha’s chocolate chip PJ bear and super cute Polar
bear girl, right down to the rosy cheeks!                       










                           This cute little girl was by Tammy.








This last bear had no name on it,
so I’m not sure who did it!

Great Demos and Great Prizes

Monday night was a quarterly Demonstrator meeting and its was great! It was great to see so many of our usual group there, plus Helena (an awesome lady we met at the Fair) and some other guests! There were some great demos and displays and a cute make and take:
This neat little scrapbook wallet opens up and has three sections to put a photo with a little caption. It would be a great idea in place of a card, especially if you are sending pictures to friends and family!
 





                              Then came the prizes: 

Kristine won the MDS DIGITAL SCRAPBOOKING SOFTWARE!!! She is going to do up her whole wedding album, I can’t wait to see it!

Then Caroline won a pack of paper, and an ink pad! Angie won a stamp set! Kristine won a stamp set! Alesha won a stamp set! And I finally won!!! I won the Upsy Daisy Decor Elements in Take with Teal. I’ll show you what I did with it soon!
