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!!!!!….. 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!
