Its another … Weekly Deal and NEW MDS downloads (for dog lovers), and other things !

Week 2 of the Weekly Deals can be found HERE

There are some brilliant deals here, and as a few of my customers have found out, if you don’t order them straight away, they sell out quickly !  If you’re humming and aaahing, then please, grab these amazing discounts immediately !

The papers are a great buy, and if you aren’t aware, then the designer series papers change every years with the new Main Catalogue, so these are definitely a ‘must buy’ while they are reduced.

MAILING LIST – If you are not already on my mailing list, then email me at carole.bryson@gmail.com to be added.  I send out regular emails with News & Updates as they happen, together with subscribers only offers.

SPREAD THE COST – Why not spread the cost of buying stash by joining one the 10 Club ?  You commit to spending £15 per month (plus postage) for 10 months, and one month during your time with the Club, you are the ‘virtual’ hostess and will earn at LEAST £25 to spend on anything you fancy from the current catalogues.

Also, while you are a member of the Club, you will receive ALL the new catalogues (seasonal and main catalogue) for FREE !

To join the Club, please email me on carole.bryson@gmail.com  I have a new group starting on the 15th May – so don’t miss out on this great opportunity.

NEW MDS Downloads

This weeks NEW MDS Downloads are below.  Definitely one for the pet lovers !   Again, to purchase the downloads, please click HERE and make sure that my name is in the top right hand corner !

If you would prefer me to place your orders, then again, please contact me on carole.bryson@gmail.com

And just to finish off … a photograph from our recent 2 Day Crop – thanks to everyone for attending.  It was an amazing weekend, and wouldn’t have been the same without you all ….. obviously !  but it was such a good laugh – thank you !

I was only saying …..

Last night at craft club, I managed to get in some ‘me time’ Scrapbooking.  I have so many photographs that I need to get scrapped, but as is the way, I don’t have a lot of time to get it all done.

I was literally just saying that maybe I needed to start Project Life in order to get all of my photographs into album.  Project Life is such a quick and easy way to scrapbook, and you can add as much detail, embellishments, photographs etc., as you want to – or – you can leave your pages as plain as you want to, just adding Project Life journal cards, and adding the details.  Its the perfect alternative to traditional scrapbooking.

So, imagine how I felt when I came home last night, and saw the latest update from Stampin Up …. We’ve only gone and joined forces with Becky Higgins from Project Life !!!!!!!   Seriously !

You will be able to order a selection of Project Life products before the new main catalogue launches. Then on the 1st July, you will be able to purchase the full range !  Imagine it Stampin Up and Project Life .. whoop whoop !  Here’s a sneaky peak of what to expect.

There is also a video from Stampin Up!  announcing the partnership and giving you more details :-

• Coordination – Nobody does it better than Stampin' Up! and Project Life is no exception.
• Our products centre on things that matter most - Weddings, Babies, Anniversaries, and the everyday moments of getting together with your favourite people.
• Our card collections come without rounded corners so you can decide if you want to keep them that way (and match the corners of your photos as they come) or use our Project Life Corner Punch to round them out.
• Our card collections come packaged in an exclusive storage system that holds all your Project Life supplies on your desk: cards, journaling pens, photos, accessory packs, stamp sets, and more.

Stampin Up! and Project Life – seriously, can life get any better ?!  Keep popping back here for more details as they happen !

Weekly Deals

Anyway, back to those layouts that I made last night … I made these two layouts using the fabulous I am Me papers and added some stamping with Gorgeous Grunge – aren’t these papers fantastic for scrapping your holiday photographs ?!

 

Some of the details – Can you spot the stamping ?  I used Gorgeous Grunge stamp set and Pool Party embossing powder :-

 

As always, if you would like to place an order, or if you have any questions or queries, then please contact me on carole.bryson@gmail.com or call/text me on 07747 465186

Happy Crafting !

A ‘Wow’ moment !

Every now and again, something comes into our (crafting) lives, that we just say “Oh yes!”   Well, I said that the moment I saw the Gorgeous Grunge stamp set, in the catalogue last year.  It is one of those stamp sets that can be used for all genre’s of cards, and no matter what your ‘style’ is, Gorgeous Grunge will suit your need.

It was therefore a huge “Oh yes!” moment for me this morning, when the latest MDS downloads were announced, as Gorgeous Grunge is one of them !  Imagine what you can now do with this amazing stamp set … but digitally !  Whoop whoop !!!  I am a happy camper this morning !

Once I have finished writing this blog post, this digital download is mine …. all mine !  Ooops .. you can get YOUR hands on it HERE

Talking of which .. when you place your orders online, will you please, please double check that my name is in the top right hand corner of your screens – see below.  I’ve had two customers this past month contact me to chase orders, and when they’ve checked, they haven’t actually ordered through me, but another demonstrator.  Sadly, if this happens, I have no way of retrieving your order to chase things up for you. 

DON’T FORGET

The weekly deals !  Lots of you have ordered from last weeks Weekly Deal, so don’t forget to pop back tomorrow (Wednesday), to see this weeks Weekly Deal … but this means, that you only have until the end of today, to order the current offers !

Last weeks Weekly Deal :-

MONTHLY 10 CLUB

I have two spaces left for a group starting in May. 

What will it cost me?

You commit to spending £15 (plus postage) of products each month. There is no obligation to spend more than this, ever. Your products will be delivered to me (so that the order will qualify for hostess benefits) and I will post them out to you. Postage for this will be charged at cost.  If you live nearby, of course, you can collect your purchases from my house or from one of my events.

I enjoy holding or attending real workshops, so why should I join a Virtual Club?

Don’t worry – you can still do both! If you live within reasonable driving distance for me, why not book a workshop in your host month? The benefit of being a club member is that your workshop is guaranteed to reach hostess benefit level (ie £150) before the first guest even walks through the door! Any sales achieved at your workshop can be added to the club order to give you even more hostess benefits, as well as a fun evening with friends.

Who is the club for?

The club is for crafters who want to spread their costs... it’s for stampers who want hostess benefits but may not be able to host a party for various reasons... it’s for people who want to boost their workshop totals and get more hostess benefits... it’s for those who have a big wish list... it’s for people who love Stampin’ Up!® products so much that they need a regular fix! And, of course, the club is for anyone in the UK (unfortunately, I’m unable to ship products outside of the UK).

Can I choose my host month?

The months will be allocated at random but if you would prefer a different month and can arrange a swap with another member, that is fine.

What to do next...

Send me an email and I’ll be in touch! The club will start when there are 10 people willing to commit– if I get more than 10 people, latecomers will have to go on a waiting list for a second club and this could take some time to fill.

And I will leave you with a photograph of me from our 2 Day Crop that we held last weekend.   We had a chocolate fountain – yay !!!!

There are a couple of spare kits from the crop, and these are now available for sale.  £5 for each scrapbook kit (loads in em), £8.50 for the smaller mini album, and £12.50 for the larger album (cardstock heavy).  Instructions ONLY option is also available.

As always, to place an order, or to contact me for more details, then please get in touch via carole.bryson@gmail.com or 07747 465186

Weekly Deals are HERE !

MDS Monday and exciting News !

Ok, so its ages since I’ve had a play with My Digital Studio – however, I’m now on school holidays (yay), and as I don’t store my stash at home, I was dying for a crafty hour or two. So, I opened up My Digital Studio, and these are some of the things that I’ve been playing with.

If you haven’t tried MDS (My Digital Studio), and you are not a digital scrapper, then honestly, you should try this programme.  I swear, even my mum could use it, its that easy.  Try the FREE version HERE for 30 days, and if you like it, then buy the full version HERE !  You can only buy the product from my shop, as you download the software immediately.  (Make sure my name is in the top right hand corner of your screen).

You get heaps in the free package, so you can start playing immediately, and obviously, you get more digital products in the full version.  Then you can buy as many, or as few ‘extras’ as you want.  There are NEW downloads every Tuesday – so the downloads are continually giving you fresh ideas !

I found a sketch that I liked on Pinterest, and then started ‘dabbling’.  As you can see, I used the same sketch twice, but I used different photographs, designer papers and embellishments.  What do you think ?

Exciting News

On the 9th April, Stampin Up! will be announcing special WEEKLY DEALS - every week in April! These deals won’t be preannounced, so you’ll have to check out each week’s deals in my Online Store HERE or on my DBWS blog HERE.

Stampin Up! will continue to offer new deals after April; however, they have not announced how often these deals will be updated.

Well that’s it for now – don’t forget to pop by on the 9th April !

If you have any questions or queries, or you would like to book a party, or place an order, then please contact me on carole.bryson@gmail.com or call/text me on 07747 465186

It’s all over …. but …

…. the dancing.  

Sadly, Sale-a-bration is over for another year     However, the Spring/Summer catalogue is still alive and kicking - YAY !

Here’s a card I made using supplies from the Spring/Summer catalogue and using the ‘fencing’ technique that I CASEd from the wonderfully talented US Demonstrator, Patty Bennett. 

Patty stamped the fence using the ‘hardwood’ background stamp and then use dthe ‘triangle’ punch from the Geometric bundle for punching out the fencing shape. 

I added the grass using the new ‘fringe’ scissors, the flowers using the petite petals punch and itty bitty punches, the leaf from the bird punch, and then I completed the card with a small butterfly and rhinestones.  Such a quick and easy card to make !

I’d just like to thank everyone for placing their Sale a Bration orders with me these past three months.  I really do appreciate your custom.
