Sale-a-Bration Blog hop

Kym

WOW well here I am can’t believe I made it (thanks to Nicki Tidbold). This is my first ever REAL blog post nothing like jumping in at the deep end and doing a blog hop. I hope it all works out!!!!!!!!……. I guess if you are reading this it did!! As I said I am involved in a blog hop for the new Sale – a – bration catalogue. What a great way to earn free stamp sets!!! Contact me today if you want a free copy!!! This blog hop is presented to you by demonstrators who belong to a yahoo group called ESAD-SU ( Extremely special Australian Demonstrators – Stampin’ Up). The group is open to Australian and New Zealand Stampin’ Up Demonstrators and is a great resource for sharing information, techniques etc with fellow demonstrators.

This blog hop will be show casing products from the S.A.B catalogue. I will be showing you some samples made using Whimisical words stamp set, hope you enjoy!!!!!….. IMG_2517_2 Now you will have been sent here from Kris McIntosh’s Blog, thanks for that Kris. Hope you are enjoying the posts!!!

Here is a very cute card I made for my SS using the sock Monkey stamp set. I used regal rose as the card base, pink flamingo DSP, Summer sun and whisper white cardstock. I also use felt flowers, circle scallop punch, and 13/8″ and 1 1 /4″ circle punches.

How cute is this sock monkey. I know a lot of you don’t like this set but I kinda of fell in love with it and I must say I was very happy with my sock monkey that I made using a pair of socks. This one went off to my Secret Sister with a set of sock money cards in a magazine rack.

Here is the last sample I made using whimsical words. I have seen some of these flowers made from one of the US leadership conferences and had to give it a go!!! I followed a tutorial on Ilna Crouse’s blog. I used Bella Rose DSP, choc chip corduroy buttons, very vanilla cardstock and the Scallop notes ll from the mini (Choc chip and Pink Pirouette) I used the thumping technique for the words with Choc ship and Pink Pirouette.

Ok that’s it from me don’t forget if you leave comments on everyone’s blog you will go in the draw to win some blog candy!!! Gotta love that. The next blog you are headed to is Leonie Schroder and you can get to it here. Leonie is also the one that you need to email once you have commented on all the blogs!

thanks for looking and taking part in this Blog hop. I hope you have enjoyed my projects!!

Hugs

KymWCSig P.S Sorry about my side bars not being updated but must say I haven’t mastered that yet. I thought I had covered that one getting Leonie to do it for me but she only sent me the instructions and haven’t got around to it yet!!!! LOL

My Turn Now!!!!!

Kym

How exciting Nicki has let me loose in blog land. How clever am I, well only when Nicki is centimetres away from me!! Not sure if this blog thing is ever going to come easy…… Because it’s my turn I am going to show you a photo of my secret santa present I made for our team xmas party!! Nicki won’t let me get away without posting a photo as well!!!!!

IMG_2286_1

This is a cute little stationary desk set that I made as my Secret Santa gift. I used a Becky Roberts tutorial!!! I used sweet slumber DSP, So saffron and baja breeze cardstock, riding hood red grosrain ribbon,flower fancy stamp set. I also made a set of matching cards to go with it. I am sure in time I will be able to dribble about my projects as much as Nic!!!!!

this is is for now. So hope I have got it together enough to set up my SAB blog hop. Where would I be without Nicki!!!!

Hugs

I’m Here – Woo Hoo!!!

Kym

Well isn’t this exciting !!!!

I am here at my fabulous uplines (Nicki’s) house having a quick blog tutorial, and look at how clever I am, I’ve picked it all up – INSTANTLY!!!! It’s almost as if Nicki is typing this herself…..roflol….

I am just going to pop in a photo of a card that I made recently, on one hand to show you something that I made for my secret sister and secondly because Nicki is insisting that i learn how to insert photos into my posts. For some strange reason she doesn’t think that you can all just telepathically envision my fantastic work…..

so here goes……wait for it……

IMG_2207_1

This card is made using the Pink flamingo Designer series paper, a whisper white base card, a bit of regal rose cardstock, and the matching regal rose wide grosgrain ribbon.

For the flowers , I have embossed the Fifth avenue floral flower with White embossing powder, cut them out with my paper snips and then attached a pearl from the Pretties Kit.

OK, now before Nicki looks too closely at what i have done i am going to attempt to post this.

Therefore, if you are reading this it all went well, if not well…..maybe we tried two or three times, who knows, ha ha ha ….

inky hugs,
