over alls???

aren't these the cutest overalls you have ever seen??

Sorry they are 'scans' not real photos but I can't got a replacement camera yet for the one I lost in Sydney! Anyway these are what you can make at the next class which is on June 14th as next Monday is Queens Birthday Weekend so it's a public holiday. The basic pattern is the same but you can decorate them how ever you like for what ever the occasion is. It could be a baby one, a gardening one or my favourite the builders one! The tools in his belt are from the stamp set Totally Tools - one of my favourite sets! Great for masculine cards which so many people like me find it hard to do. You could do a mechanic one too with other tools in the set! The gardening one has flowers in her pocket which you may not see on the photo. And the baby boy has a rattle. These are all stamps! There are some many cool stamps set the Stampin' Up! offer for EVERY need. Contact me today if you haven't got your own Idea Book & Catalogue email - julia.leece@slingshot.co.nz

I'm back!!!

hehe
I had the most amazing time in Sydney - we just got back at 2am this morning! Plane was an hour late and by the time we got thru with all our shopping......... LOL

I lost my camera over there unfortunately so I have no photos to share with you, so pleased I had taken off all my pics off the memory stick before I went! But once I get access to other peoples photos I will post some.
I have to spend some time with the family and catching up around the house (you would be amazed at how much stuff needs to be done! lol) so it will be a day or two before I have something to post for you, so keep checking back!
The Stampin' Up! convention was amazing, I have come back with so many ideas and inspiration. The best part was meeting other demos, and the SU staff etc. Neat to be surrounded by like minded people! Oh and I got a surprise by finding out that I got in the top 10 of New Zealand demos! I was blown away!! I feel chuffed as this was my first full year, I have only been a demo since Feb 09. SO thank you to all my lovely customers and wonder down lines who helped to get to this point!! Also the other wonderful demos who have helped me along the way. Ok 'Oscar' speech over! blahahaha
see you again soon.

My convention Swaps

I am flying out to Sydney today for the annual Stampin' Up! convention. Part of the fun when Stampin' Up! demos get together is we do 'swaps' How it works is you make so many of so many of one thing and you 'swap' them with other demo's items. So I am taking 100 of these little wee handbags and will come home with 100 different samples which will be great to be able to show all my customers different ideas. Everyone have different styles and of cause different products so it gives a great variety.

Lucky for me these handbags lie flat so makes travelling with them very easy. I am taking them on as hand luggage as I would be so upset if they got lost with my bags! I just hope the little brads in them wont cause me delays at airport security!! They are made from a 6"x6" piece of DSP instead of the 12"x12" DSP I usually use.

So I wont be posting anything till I get back next Wednesday as I don't know what Internet access I can get and I am not clever enough to preload posts before I go. But keep popping in just in case!

more scrapbooking

it's still scrapbooking month so I thought I would show these two pages that I have done over the last few days. The first one uses the lovely papers from the Autumn-Winter mini. I wanted the yummy dessert to be the focal point and all the rest embellishment. My favourite part is the three little buttons which I have put a close up photo of. I love the tiny tag punch and matching stamp set, again out of the new mini. I still feel it 'needed something else' but couldn't pin point what - any suggestions appreciated! hehe

The second one is very bright for me, Pixie Pink does that! LOL I mainly did it to do the flowers, for my classes this week. These were done with punches and the circle scissors. And yes I do know I have the year wrong in the 'GROW" page hehe

see you tomorrow

1 inch circle punch flower

isn't this one of the lovelest flowers you have seen on a card (even if I do say so myself! lol)

it is made using a 1" circle punch, there are some cool 'tricks' to get it looking like this... not going to give away those just get! hehe

This is another flower that I will be sharing how to do at my class tonight. Still time to reserve your seat. If you can't make it why not book an at home workshop where you and your friends can all make this card! contact me at julia.leece@slingshot.co.nz

thanks for popping in so I can share my passion with you!

plenty of pansies

this weeks class we are making flowers - all sorts of flowers.

There are so many different types you can make out of paper, they can go on cards, scrap pages or a 3D item.

These pretty ones are one of the easiest things to make - believe me!! You will be surprised at just how easy they are!! I have used the scrummy top note die with the Old Olive card stock, then run it through the Big Shot again in the polka dot embossing folder. The leaves are a Big Shot die too. Finished off with a Elegant Eggplant bow. I decided that this card didn't need a sentiment - I thought it would distract from the flowers. I hope the friend that I made this for will enjoy it as much as I did making it.

Contact me via julia.leece@slingshot.co.nz to reserve you spot at my class this week. I wont be having any classes on the 24th as I will still be in Sydney for the Stampin' Up! convention. I will look forward to sharing with you all the new info and exciting things I will learn while I am away. Plus the 100 or so cards etc that I will be 'swapping' with other SU demos. I will tell you about those tomorrow.

thanks for visiting
