Well I am mucking around with the new Chrstmas Papers that are on special this month and this is one of the cards I came up with. I used the True Thyme and Cranberry Crisp Cardstock along with the Very Vanilla. The Joy is from Holiday Wishes...one of my fave christmas sets...and of course the flower punch...I am not a fan of cutting out as you all know....

These double sided papers are $14.95 for all of November. Give me a call if you would like to order some....Off to try a Bon Bon now.....

Well how great are background stamps!!! Here I have used the "Floral background" stamp and then stamped the saying from "Simply Said". Punched it out with the oval punch.....love it as well. Finished off with some Organdy ribbon and silver cord...Voila!!! I made a whole set of these with stamped envelopes as well. It's amazing how great the different colours look. Check out the group photo below!

HI Everyone,

Hope you are all great. Well I would like to let you know of Stampin' Up's November promotion..All in the Family...

As some of you may know, Dave Abbott , the Australian General Manager of Stampin' Up! passed away in October due to a rare blood disease. He was a fantastic person and I feel very lucky and privileged to have had spent so much time with him and his lovely wife Cath on the Port Douglas Incentive Trip earlier this year. Stampin' Up! have established a fund to collect funds for Cath and their 3 lovely children. Every cent from the sale of this special stamp set worldwide in November will be donated to this fund.

All in the Family stamp set is $73.95 but i will be offering it to Customers for $62.95 including postage and handling. Please give me a call if you would like to order this very special stamp set...

Dave joined Stampin’ Up! in October 2005, six months prior to SU!’s launch in Australia. His energetic, outgoing, and caring personality drew SU! to Dave as SU! searched for a General Manager. Dave was instrumental in establishing the business in Australia and growing Stampin’ Up! over the past year and a half. He absolutely loved working with the Australian demonstrators and always made decisions with their best interests in mind. Dave became ill from hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH), a rare blood disease, in November 2006 and went through various treatments to fight the disease. Although he was in and out of the hospital, Dave remained keenly interested in building the company and involved with the demonstrators to the very end. He passed away on Thursday, October 18. Dave was a great friend and employee as well as a beloved manager and mentor.”
