I have been holding some christmas classes already this year.  Yes you read that right.
I designed some Christmas cards that you can see at this post but I have been playing with some new products from the Annual Catalogue.

The stamp set I have been playing with is the Peace This Christmas stamp set and the This Christmas Specialty Designer Series Paper.  I came up with 3 designs.  Two with a similar design.  I love the new oval framelits.

I am really loving this stamp set.  I will be holding Christmas Card classes from September so keep a look out for updates.

This past week my family and I went up to volunteer on a Christian Camping Conference. We have a heart for the camping industry and we have volunteered on this conference since 2008 when our eldest daughter was only 1.

This year they asked if I would be interested in running a workshop.  I didn’t know what this was going to look like.  I set the room up with shoe boxes with all the materials for each card and displayed a few other tools that Stampin’ Up! have available.

In the end I demonstrated one card at a time and we moved the stamps around the table.  It worked really well and everyone had a great time stamping.  Most of the people that attended hadn’t stamped before.  I love sharing stamping with people and sharing with people that have never stamped before is fantastic.

These two guys were amusing to watch and also a joy to watch. Their team work was fantastic as they worked through getting the image as perfectly as they could on the card.

The below photo is of the fantastic people that attended, including myself.  They were all fantastic and I look forward to doing this again at the next conference in 2 years if I’m given the opportunity.

I have planned some more of my popular Children’s School Holiday Card Classes.

The Cost is $20.00 for 4 cards with envelopes. The class caters for school years 2 and up and I hold the classes in my home in West Pennant Hills.

If you’d like to order a kit to make similar cards that will cost $25 including shipping and you’ll receive a pack of Notecards with envelopes in white or crumb cake along with your choice of washi tape.  This does not include any stamps.

Ombre isn’t hard—just use an Ombre Stampin’ Pad to get five shade gradations that fade from dark to light. Watch and learn the easiest way to create ombre effects.
