A fun video, with cute cards and some sneak peeks. Its all happening today. Patchwork pieces are a great set of 2 dies, you can have so much fun with them making different combinations, I’ve used patterned paper but try stamped card, heat embossed, dry embossed speciality papers or mix and match to your hearts content!
Further down you will find some sneak peeks, some of my favourite items, the papers we will be using for September Craft-along AND information about some of the products we will be using in the Christmas Retreat. I’m still in the planning stages and designing projects so its not all finalised yet, but some items are definitely included!
So there are lots of pictures!
Do be aware that the products aren’t available until the 6th September. Unless of course you join my team……… in which case you can have them right now! Email me for more information.




Here are all the Stampin’ Up! items I used in the video. Click on the pictures to go shopping in my online store.
So now onto the sneak peeks!
First up September Craft-along – the paper is called A Walk in the Forest, we will be making Christmas projects, but you will be able to adapt them to birthdays or all occasion cards if you wish.


There is a co-ordinating Bear stamp set and matching punch along with Tree stamps and dies, which sadly I missed off my order! I will share a picture of those when they arrive!

Now lets move onto the Christmas Retreat. Blue and gold a classic combination, with wonderful ribbon and an amazing stamp set. Yes it co-ordinates with one of my favourites Biggest Wish!

More papers this time Beary Christmas.


Of course there will be more sparkle.

I will send out all of the information once everything is finalised. The Christmas retreat including a posted kit can be sent to the UK only. My international friends you will have the option of the all of the retreat classes, videos and PDFs, with a supplies list.
I’ll be back on Tuesday with another Craft and Chat. Hope to see you then!
