Online Workshop

25 01 2010

This saturday January 30th I am hosting my first ever virtual (totally online) event. I am soo excited about this as I have many more virtual events planned.

So how is it going to work?? Ok well if you’d like to come along and learn to make two really great projects and pick my brain about anything you’d like to know about Stampin’ Up! products email me at hcarruthers@live.com and I’ll send you an invitation to a private forum where you can join the fun beginning at 5pm WA time. (8pm EST, 6:30PM SA time?)

However if you’d like to get to make something on the night, you can purchase the kit for this make and take project at my store for $5, and you’ll recieve instructions to assemble it. These instructions will only be available to those who purchase the kits.

Want to know what the other projects are?? Well I’ll tell you that one of them is a lovely 6″ x 6″ scrapbook page and I’ll keep the other for a surprise on the night. So contact me to reserve your spot!

P.S. If you purchase the kit you will also recieve the invite to the classroom so you won’t need to email me to recieve it if you plan on buying the kit.

See you saturday oh and if you do come along there will be specials for those purchasing the kit and all attendees may recieve some special sneak peeks at other projects I have planned.

Help others and your stamp collection!

22 01 2010

As you would all know on Jan 12th this year Haiti was hit by a devastating earthquake. Many people have been left without homes, food, clothing, water or any place to go. Stampin’ Up! want to help these people to get the help they need so from now until February 28th Stampin’ Up! will donate $2 to the Red Cross Haiti Appeal for every I {Heart} Hearts Stamp Set sold!

I’ll definately be purchasing a set and I want to urge as many of you as I can to also purchase a set! So contact your local demonstrator (if you have one) to place your order or you can order through me by emailing me at hcarruthers@live.com

You can also read about the other ways in which Stampin’ Up! are helping the people of Haiti on our CEO’s blog here. I absolutely love this company and I’m soo proud to be a part of a company that cares about others, even people they’ve never met.

My first ever Mojo monday sketch challenge!

16 01 2010

This is my first time doing a Mojo Monday sketch and I really enjoyed it!

We made this card in class today for our husband’s for Valentine’s Day next month. Here’s the sketch:

And here’s my creation:

Considering it was one of my first creations after taking a break from stamping over Christmas I am quite happy with it!

Thanks for looking and keep stamping!





Back to blogging!

6 01 2010

Hi all,

Did you miss me? Of course not you were all too busy enjoying your Christmas and new year break. I certainly enjoyed mine and I especially enjoyed giving myself permission to just enjoy the holidays and if I wanted to stamp I could but mostly I didn’t.

I did make a few cute things I’d like to show you though, but I haven’t photographed them yet. One thing I’d like to do more of this year is join in challenges like sketch and colour challenges so if you know some good challenge websites leave me a comment please!

See you soon!
