Facinator - Fire Engin Red Deluxe #2

Yes you have seen one like this before... I made the original for clients fancy Dress party... I borrowed it back from my client and had it on display at our Singapore Tour Fundraiser function recently. One of my fellow Choir members fell in LOVE with it and insisted that I create her very own to match the dress she was wearing on the night...

Table Decorations - Star of the Night

Gail wanted me to create some table decorations for her Daughter's special occasion... The theme was purple silver and stars.... in the center of each I needed to make a photo holder spring... so that each table could have back to back photos so all the guest could see them...

These were fun to create... However just having the big stars by them selves... well it seemed a little incomplete to me so I had the idea of shooting stars which I then created with the spray of the three small stars.. Cool hay??

Hope the function is a great SUCCESS Gail!!!

Wedding Boquet of Feathers

Chloe was my bride with a difference... she really wanted a bouquet with out using flowers... She loves feathers, the whimsical & graceful way they move.... She really wanted a bouquet that would not die. And it was a must to incorporate some butterflies as part of the theme...

Stunning Wedding Boquet Feathers Lace and RibbonThis was a challenge for me at first as I had no idea how I would construct such a magnificent vision that was in her head... However as most artist.. I tackled it with the "I CAN DO IT" attitude... With no particular finished picture in my mind I went to and started to create a MASTER Piece.... one small piece at a time...

This divine BOUTIQUE bouquet is definitely a one of a kind... And is such an amazing dream and idea that I am very grateful Chloe came to me to make it a reality!!!!

Bookings are closing very soon for our much anticipated Christmas Card Workshops. Whilst there are still limited places available, we need to close off bookings, so that we can ensure that the materials that we need to order for you arrive in time. I thought I would take the opportunity to remind you of all the fabulous reasons that you will want to come to one of these events.

1.
Number one reason to come to the Christmas Card Workshops
is the wonderful, creative & fun PEOPLE that you will find there.

2.
The PROJECTS have been designed to be elegant, simple & repeatable,
using a great stash of Stampin' Up! papers, dies, tools, ribbon & bling.

3.
If you have been to a Christmas Card Workshop, you will know we always have
great prizes. This year Stampin' Up! have been extremely generous in their support
and we have well over $1000 of product to give away at each event. Pictured below
are the RAFFLE PRIZES for the Coorparoo Event.

The proceeds from these fabulous raffle prizes ensures we continue to support the Mater Mothers Bereavement Footprints Programme.

4.
There is always a great supply of DISPLAY PROJECTS that you are welcome to photograph.

5.
The CARD COMPETITION costs 50 cents per card to enter. We would like to see Christmas Cards created primarily with Stampin' Up! Product. Participants in the Workshop will then
vote and 3 lucky winners will share in $250 in prizes!

6.
Of course, we always have a lovely AFTERNOON TEA to enjoy together.

7.
This year we will have a special box at all our Christmas Workshops. We will be collecting Christmas Card Donations for our Australian Troops serving overseas as part of a
'CARDS FOR TROOPS' program. These cards will ensure soldiers are able to send a card home at Christmas to their loved ones. This project is being coordinated for the Paper Angels by the lovely Anna Wheaton who is in turn helping 2 NSW Stampin Up Demonstrators who initiated this idea. So please, do bring along any cards you did not use from last year and we ask please if you can provide envelopes with the cards.

8.
We will have SPOT PRIZES during the course of the day

9.
COLOR INSTRUCTIONS will ensure you can recreate
your favourite workshop projects at home

10.
