I've just got back from visiting my baby nephew, George. He was sleeping the whole time, bless him. This is the card I made for my brother and SIL. It's based on Jackie Topa's original card and tutorial but I've changed it just a little. The card base is a side step...

Still waiting to see my little nephew IRL but I got a pic of him sent through to me yesterday Thanks for your messages of congratulations. Back now to the crafty news ... and I'm sharing my December thank you's a little early for a change. Instead of a thank you...

Yes, I'm an auntie for the first time. I have a little nephew, George Edward who was born at 10:35 this morning, weighing 11lbs 1oz! Ouch! My Mum had asked me to make a small batch of birth announcement cards ready and as this is such a special occasion and as my Mum...

Another admission of hoarding - oops A few days ago I admitted how I'd been hanging on to the Handmade Holidays Stitched Felt. Well another product I've been stockpiling is the lush flocked acetate from the Candlelight Christmas Specialty DSP. We've been using plenty...

Of course our Stampin' Up! catalogues are an excellent shopping guide - they show you the products (at life size for most stamps and punches!), the colours, the prices - all you need to make your shopping decisions. But they are also great as a source of inspiration....
