Joy Express

I LOVE the Stampin’ Kids Workshops!!!  It’s heaps of fun making projects, chatting with the girls, laughing together.  Wow! 

This month there are 5 New Friends joining our group!!  I am so excited!  I know that they will all take a little time to integrate with each other (and the regular ‘crew’) and get their heads around the fabulous projects I’ve planned ~ Caramels “Yummy” Box, Tiny Teddies Treat Bag and 3 Button Flower Card ~ but I am sure they will be Master Creators by the time they have some Free Time opportunity.   

I have been Totally Indulgent in Stampin’ Up! punches!  Any excuse to buy product that I can play with, in order to promote interest, enthusiasm and creativity for the Girls.   I have really enJOYed the new Bird Punch and especially like this project from the Autumn/Winter Mini Catalog.  I amended the “Hello” project from being in a Frame, to being on a Card, and used the Elegant Eggplant Cardstock with some More Mustard Designer Series Paper from the Autumn Traditions pack.  Ooh La La!

My most recent card was this one in Black and White which is based on a design by Betsy Veldman.  It was heaps of fun, and a little challenging, to create!  I have really enJOYed the challenge to ‘change it up’ with the punches and colour combos, stimulated by creating projects for the girls in the Stampin’ Kids Class.  I love the opportunity they give me for exploring new ideas, playing with new stamp sets and accessories and, most especially, I Love the FUN they allow me to indulge!
