Come sail away with us...

Come sail away with us
Sail away on an open course to creativity with the Come Sail Away Suite!
The artsy maritime Designer Series Paper, stamp set, and coordinating dies
come together perfectly to help you feel you’re relaxing on the shore.
With some Baker’s Twine and Sail Away Trinkets, you can make handmade cards
for everyone on your list, no matter where they are in their journey. 
But if all you want are stamps and dies, the Sailing Home Bundle
is perfect for you, and you can buy it separately with its own item number and price!

Whatever you need to give the gift of sailing (without actually buying a boat),
we’ve got you covered!
So trim your sails and set a course for crafting nostalgia with
this fun nautical suite and bundle. You won’t be able to get enough of it!

A scrapbook in a Day??!!!...

It's been a busy morning here,
decided to do an "Ancestor Album' for someone as a gift,
by Saturday, no less.


and here it is... almost.

I'll just write in some names and dates and it's started for them to carry on, I hope.

So easy to do with stuff to hand,  namely Stampin Up's Memories and More album,
pocket pages and the preprinted Memories and More Cards,
that slide straight in the pockets.

The hardest part was printing the Photos!

And yes Memories & More is still in the new catalogue....
look at pages 170 and 171,
or look in the online shop at www.christinebennett.stampinup.net

picture from the online shop Memories & More
I will take more pictures and update next week,
now off to play with my new goodies....

Do you like Roses...





To a Wild Rose
Roses are always nice to have, and you can never have too many.
How about giving someone a dozen wild roses … in stamps!
With the To a Wild Rose Bundle, you can sprinkle every occasion with roses
and warm wishes to everyone around you.
Inspired by one of our Million Sales Achievers Mary Ellen Byler,
To a Wild Rose is one of our Distinktive stamp sets.
That means it has so much depth and dimension, it might as well be the real thing.
By layering the ink with a Sponge Dauber, or colouring in the beautiful images with Watercolor Pencils, these Distinktive stamps can come to life even more,
and they are bound to leave an impression!

introducing the new Magnolia suite...


HOW SWEET IS THE MAGNOLIA LANE SUITE
Do you have a specific flower that makes you happy whenever you see it?
That’s how we feel about the Magnolia Lane Suite! It’s the perfect way to start anyone’s day, or any occasion.

This beautiful suite is perfect for all skill levels, and it’s just waiting for you to get creative with some Stampin’ Blends or Watercolor Pencils in whatever colour you choose.
But that’s not all! This suite comes with the Good Morning Magnolia bundle, which has all the stamps and dies you need to make your cards wonderful.
 You can even purchase the bundle separately!
The dies in the Good Morning Magnolia bundle are perfect for creating a flower, just like the one on the top of the box in the sample above, which will give your projects a little extra “oomph.”

I'll get 'some' of this Suite for next month's classes so we can all enjoy,
