CQ Paperlover's Crew full day stamping retreat #6monthstampinggoals!!







Yesterday we held our first Full Day Stamping Retreat in Rockhampton and I'm really grateful for all the help I had in putting the day together. It was a great team effort by several of the demonstrators from my team - the CQ Paperlover's Crew. Thanks so much to Krissy Buck, Heather Latham, JoAnne Humphreys and Sharon Dalton who created samples, taught classes, arranged prizes, organised the catering and timing, and of course the setup and cleanup.
It was a great day and attended by new and old crafty friends who had come from quite a wide area in Qld - Brisbane, Buderim, Moura, Gogango, Biloela.....and Gracemere!!

It was a very hot day in CQ at 41degrees so being inside in the cool Air Conditioning stamping was a perfect escape from the heat.
Each participant went home with a goodie bag and 8 cards from 4 classes plus bits and bobs from the Product Playground, as well as a folded paper wallet they made, prizes and catalogues.
I hope everyone had fun learning a few new techniques and playing with new products.

















I challenged everybody to go home and write in one of the cards they made 
and post off a little paper hug to someone this week.
as my advertising sign at the markets says
"Don't post online, post something pretty"

 I'l be back in the next few days with photos of the samples we made!
thanks for looking, 

Liz

CTC#48 Who doesn't love new DSP

Welcome back to CASEing the Catty for this round. You may have come from Rachel's beautiful project  or you maybe starting here. There are lots of great posts to visit. This week we are using new Designer Series paper from the Holiday Catalogue - and who doesn't love a pack of new paper? The problem of course is which one to choose.... followed by the problem of actually having to CUT into a pristine pack. ....I know you all know what I mean. I have lots of photos for you today to try and show off some of the designs, but it's not easy to capture and they always look so much better in real life. I have purchased two packs - the Happy Haunting pack on page 47, which I was inspired to get purely from the background piece on the Lighthearted Leaves card on page 44. I don't celebrate Halloween, nor am I usually all that partial to Orange shades, but maybe that's changing! because I really like the designs. The pack has several papers that are specifically...

CTC#100 Presents and Pinecones

Can you believe we are 100 posts young???? Welcome to the 100th post for CASEing the Catty. You may have arrived form Katherine's post or you maybe starting here- Welcome! Be sure to hop around all the participants this week as we take inspiration from the Presents and Pinecones. I've been short of time with lots of commitments- aren't we all too busy?? So I needed a quick card for this week's post - which is perfect as I am planning a stamp-a-stack for Christmas class. It's a very big section of the catalogue but I settled on the gorgeous card on page xxx I have a few different versions using the same layout but different colours and embellishments. Not everyone loves tying bows so I tried to make them very simple. Heat embossing is such a simple way to add instant pizazz. The sparkling emerald Envy embossing powder is fantastic but I would advise definitely using your embossing buddy to minimise the amount of stray glitter, and I would also advise ...

CI#04 Jars of Love

Welcome back for another Colour INKspiration challenge. Aren't those pansies in the inspiration picture this week just stunning - those gorgeous yellows and strong purples. These are not colours I normally gravitate to but a challenge is all about extending yourself so i'm glad to have had a go! I have recreated a selection of jars with my very favourite Jar of Love set. I have made cards like this before using very bright colours which are fun and very sweet, (and I'll post them tomorrow, so make sure you have filled in the follow by email box on the right side of this page) but today I needed to make a Sympathy card for a good friend who also loves Stampin' Up! It's a card for my work friends to give a colleague so it needed to be big enough for lots of people to sign it.  This card measures 13 x 19cm and I chose this size simply because I had some large envelopes left over from some wedding stationery- they have a little embossed heart on the flap whic...
