A New Bundle of Joy
On my first night at Convention in early May I received a text message late at night. It was a girlfriend of mine letting me know that her baby girl had arrived. Well I am ashamed to say that I have only just got around to making her a card. I wanted to do something special to welcome her little one and this is what I came up with. I hope she is not up late tonight reading my blog as I hope to drop by tomorrow with the card and gift.
Here’s a close-up of the image from the gorgeous Stampin’ Up! “Punches Three” Level 1 hostess set. The paper is from the Bella Rose Designer Series range.

Whisper Sweet Nothings
As a scrapbooker I’m always looking for new and innovative ways to show off my photos. Now I know these “explosion” boxes are not new, they have been around for sometime now, but boy are they innovative. These small boxes hold over 20 photos and make great displays for coffee tables, desks or your workspace. What better way to feature a special event or even just to collect together a group of photos to give as a gift.
This project I made not long after the new catalogue came out and it features product from the new “Sweet Nothings” Scrappin Kit. These kits are really versatile, you can use them for both scrapbooking and cardmaking and they go a long way.
I have had so much interest in this little box that I will be running it as a class next Saturday 20th June @ 1.30pm. I still have some places available so if you would like to come along email me michellegrech@netspace.net.au and reserve a seat.
Extra Extra read all about it…….
That’s right host a workshop during June or July and you have the chance to earn $40 EXTRA free shopping dollars. That means with workshop sales totalling $600 or more you will have $110 to spend plus a free level 1 or 2 Hostess exclusive stamp set.
So get to it and contact me today michellegrech@netspace.net.au to book a time when I can come and share some fun stamping with you and your friends.

Easter Wishes
I really love the little bird in the “Good Friends” set from the new 2009-10 Idea Book and Catalogue. I couldn’t wait to use it to do some paper piecing with the retro look paper featured in the Good Morning Sunshine range and the new Kiwi Kiss in-colour.
I don’t really do many Easter cards so I was really happy that this cute little bird could work as an easter chick. Combined with a sentiment from the versatile All Occasions set I think I managed to pull it off.
I know I said I would be back with some samples from the new catty but between preparing for my Open Day and New Catalogue Launch on Saturday 25 April and a quick weekend away with the family for Easter I haven’t got a lot done yet. In the meantime here is a card I made a couple of weeks ago for my nephew’s 4th birthday.
The astronaut is from Lizzie Anne Design’s “Out of this World” and has been watercoloured using the new in-colours Baja Breeze, Kiwi Kiss and Tangerine Tango. The spaceship paper is out of my stash and is Basic Grey I think with a base card of Pacific Point. As you can see this little guy is experiencing the low gravity on this planet and has lifted off (should have used my Stamp-a-ma-jig) but I really enjoyed the colouring on this one.
Hope you all enjoy a happy and safe easter and that the Easter Bunny has hopped into your yard.

What’s in the tin?
Despite having bronchitis for the last week or so I had a wonderful long weekend. My darling friend (and upline) Kerri and her husband came for the weekend. We had a great Saturday morning shopping at Pumpkin Patch for Kerri’s grandaughter and my boys. At one stage I was in the boys section and looked across to the girls section in search of Kerri but all I could see the top of her head behind a pile of clothes. Boy did we do some damage. Then we raced home to get ready for team stamping on the Saturday afternoon.
Sunday and Monday were spent stamping, drinking coffee and just generally playing while the guys looked after this kids and watched several episodes of Rescue Me. They were really wonderful to let us spend so much uninterrupted time together. It was so much fun I was sad to see them go but really looking forward to the next time. Who would have thought when I joined Stampin” Up! that we would make such wonderful friends. It’s just one of the many benefits of being a demonstrator.
While she was here Kerri told me about this great idea she got from one of her customers for decorating ring pull cans. At first I was skeptical so we took a trip to the supermarket and bought ring pull cans in lots of different sizes to take home and “experiment”. Here is a picture of my finished sample.
And here is the top view, decorated with some groovy guava ribbon and embellishments from the Secret Garden Scrappin Kit.
I decided to fill it with a few small goodies such as an incentive stamp, chipboard, buttons etc. I would show you show you a photo if I had one but I got so excited about the finished product that I gave it to my hostess at last night’s workshop and forgot to photograph it first.
Now if you’re curious about how we filled the can then leave me a comment and I’ll tell you how.
