Team Training & Shoes

Well Team Training and a Shoe Box swap !!! 

I had a fantastic time yesterday at our He[art]s team training day.

Firstly, I gave everyone a marketing/strategy talk, which led on to upcoming training events and Convention – did I mention Convention is in Manchester this year – whoop whoop !!! and then, we got to the serious business.

I was never happy with the idea of buying all the products and designing projects for the craft aspect of our Team Training, as I don’t think its fair that I get the sales, when I am asking and helping my team to increase their sales.  Also, the Hearts team has so much talent, that I felt I wasn’t using the resources available  – ourselves !  Sooooo we went with the idea of running our team training ‘crafting’ sessions as a shoe box swap.

A shoe box swap is where each person brings a project that they have designed, and a shoe box full of all the products needed to replicate it. That way, we can show off our individual styles, and also share the sales.  Win-win !

Below, is a sample of just some of the projects that we made yesterday. Oh, and we finished off our session with Emma’s Birthday cake …. nom nom !  Happy Birthday Emma !

Firstly, is Julie’s fun Easter Bunny Box made using the amazingly adaptable cone box die. Isn’t that bunny bottom soooooo cute huh ?!!!

Next is Tammy’s elegant project.  Tammy used the stunning Everything Eleanor stamp set, which is fantastic for both Scrapbookers and Cardmakers.  This is definitely one of my most used sets that I own !

Next is Emma’s extremely pretty project.  Emma used the beautiful Comfort Cafe designer papers.  These had never appealed to me really, but having used them yesterday, they instantly went on my wish list !  Emma also used the gorgeous Secret Garden stamp set with matching framelits.  Isn’t this a beautiful project ?

Lastly for today, is Helen’s stunning card using the Honeycomb embossing folder, and the Oh Hello Stamp Set – I just adore this stamp set, it can be used for both male AND female cards – definitely a winner, and in the new Spring/Summer catalogue !

I will post MY project tomorrow when I will hopefully get a decent photograph of it … and I’ll talk you through it …..  you are gonna love it, I promise !

Its a Brown Envelope Day !

It certainly IS something to smile about

This mini album for a certain persons upcoming 50th Birthday, has been made using brown envelopes and the following:-

The fabby Patio Party designer papers from Stampin Up! together with the NEW In-Colour cardstock (in every colour),  Everything Eleanor stamp set and the Betsy’s Blossoms stamp set.  Can you see all that gorgeous glitter (I moved my arm over the cover, and covered everything), is the new glue glitter from Stampin Up! and comes in silver and red.  The silver looks like a shimmery white on different papers and cardstock, and has become a firm favourite.

I just adore the brightness and patterns on these papers, and the NEW In-Colour cardstock helped to make the album up in next to no time !

Lovin’ it !

Mini albums that is !   I love, love, love scrapbooking, and to me, an extension of that is making mini albums to house my memories.  What a better way of remembering a particular event or a particular memory.  What a beautiful gift to give someone of a special one-off occasion.

I have lots of events that have happened this year, in particular Aarons prom, and more that are due to happen – my friends Alison and Simon are getting married in two weeks, and then of course, the BIG one – my BIG Birthday !  So, I am getting prepared, and I have started making mini albums to ensure that I never forget these momentous events

At the moment, I’m working on mini albums to give to each of the In-Laws at ‘the wedding’ – so I’ll post them once they are done !

The first album below is a TOILET ROLL mini album complete with inserts and uses the Everyday Enchantment papers, Four Frames stamp set, Decorative Label Punch, and the FREE brads and ribbons that you can earn for spending £45 this month. 

The second album is a maze album, and uses the same Everyday Enchantment papers, the boho blossoms punch and sadly, a retired label punch. 

The third album is a matchbook album again, complete with inserts, and uses Attic Boutique papers, Everything Eleanor stamp set, Markers and the gorgeous spotty scallop ribbon. 

The Everyday Enchantment papers, are only available this month (July) £9.95, and the FREE brad and ribbons can be earned by spending £45.
