Merry Christmas!

Good jolly evening to you all!

Sorry I've been on hiatus lately. It's been quite hectic baking cookies and making cards for the past 2 weeks (oh yeah, and that presentation too ...) .. plus some Rockband playing! Whoops!

Here's one of the cards I made this year ... it's inspired by Caroline.

Thanks to Kevin for his photography skills!

Have a safe and happy Christmas, everyone. Be careful shopping on Boxing Day! :)

Farewell Stamps ..

Good slushy morning to you all!

I just received the Retiring Stamp Set List from the Fall/Winter Catalogue 2008. Take an extra 10% off these stamps from now til December 23/2009. There are some cute stamp sets there so let me know before they run out.

Once they're retired, they won't come back .. so if something catches your eye, let me know!! :)

Stampin' Up Colours

Brr! It's sooo cold outside. I hope you're all bundled up warmly before attacking the cold!

Anyway, some of you have requested some colour swatches and I will show them below. Basically, there are 6 groups of colours: Neutrals, In Colours, Bold Brights, Earth Elements, Rich Regals, and Soft Subtles.

Enjoy!

Hump Day!

Thank goodness it's Wednesday! It's unfortunate I indulged in so much (junk) food today at work .. back to the gym .. soon?

Anyway, below are some pictures that I promised. Instead of doing my presentation, I decided to make some cards. But no more until I'm done my presentation (yah right).

Lastly, there's a sale going on at Stampin' Up. Spend $20 from the regular catalogue and you can get 20% off all the stamp sets in the Fall/Winter Catalogue Sampler. This sale is until mid-January, so feel free to contact me to take a peek at the catalogue. Trust me, it's much nicer looking through the real book rather than online! :)

Again, there is no limit to the number of sale items that can be purchased once the $20 minimum has been reached. Yippy!!!

Sales & Promotions for Dec 1/2008

Hey friends,

So I wanted to tell you that I'm going to place an order on December 1st (Monday) because that's the day where the best discounts are happening with Stampin' Up. I will break down each discount with you right now:

1) Starting on Dec 1 to Jan 18, spend $20 and get 20 percent off any stamp set from the Fall-Winter Sampler.
- If you spend $20 (anything from the Fall-Winter Catalogue on the right), you can get 20% off any stamp set (1 or more) from the Fall-Winter Sampler Catalogue, also on your right. You're right - there are no limits to the 20% off stamp set!!! :)
- I, myself, am eyeing at the 'Wow Flowers' stamp set

2) Holiday Extravaganza Sale from Nov 26 to Dec 1 ( I will post the surprise sales on Nov 26 for you all to see)
- I have NO IDEA what they're putting on for sale, but it's apparently very good since it's the American Thanksgiving sale!

3) Other one-day promotion items that you can check out on that day (this is only sent to me on that day so you will have to visit this blog that day).

So this is why I'm telling you now so that you can check the blog this week. And the reason I'm choosing to do my order on Dec 1 is because of the above 3 promotions in 1 day! Email me if you have any questions!

Cheers!

Testing, testing, 1 .. 2 .. 3!

Hello world.

So here I am, re-entering the world of blogging in a more creative way. I'll be posting up some of my creations in the future, and listing all the materials required for them. And of course, my friends' lovely works of art.

So what exactly am I doing with this card-making/scrapbooking fiasco? I'm not exactly sure so I'll just label it as my hobby for now. I've been interested in all this crafty stuff in the last while (perhaps due to the fact that I never had the chance to do this as a kid!) so I decided "hey, why not?". I was surfing the internet for some neat ideas, and I came across this scrapbooking business called Stampin' Up. And little did I know, I ended up signing up as a demonstrator and am selling its products. And being a very, very good customer ...

Many of you may know that I love going to Michael's to browse for the newest (and sale) items. DY knows it all too well (sorry!). I find that although Michaels has good stuff, Stampin' Up stuff is a lot more updated. The colours are brighter, and the prices are also better. Although it comes from the States, I don't get charged customs which is a very, very good thing!!! :)

Anyway, just a little blurb about my recent fascination ... hehehe!

Cheers!
