Could this be the biggest demo ever??

Wow Anne from my work invited me to come & demonstrate for 30-40 woman on their day retreat. She asked me to show them how to stamp on candles as she was so impressed with my efforts at Christmas time with my Lovely As A Tree candles I mass produced for my work's market day.

Lucky for me that my sister Tracey had also signed up to be a demonstrator as it would have been a daunting task alone.

They had retreated out to the back of Whenapui & what a stunning setting!!



As well as the candle demonstration (that nearly didn't happen) as I forgot to take a new candle - so Anne's thank you candle had to have a few more images added. I used the Merci stamp set that was a Sale-a-bration gift & stamped onto the tissue paper with Basic black & coloured up with my Bold Brights & Earth Elements marker pens - I was really happy with the final product. Everyone was amazed at how easy it was - so I'm sure the warehouse will sell out of white candles again.



I also made a lovely pop can with a few incentive stamps & chocolates sealed up inside. The can was decorated with the lovely Enchante designer paper & I stamped up a Pale Plum flower from Looks Like Spring - I also punched out a few flowers with the corresponding punch to decorate the can along with various ribbons and a thank you tag as the door prize.



Tracey did a fantastic job with her first demonstration of the 2,5,7,10 box that everyone made & took home with them - after this the normal size class will be a piece of cake!

Christmas crackers with a POP!

Cassie & myself started making up Pop Cans for Christmas this weekend, very easy once you get yourself organised. I used the lovely double dipped paper Holiday Thyme that is on special at the moment plus ribbons, snowflakes from Snow Flurries. Closer to the big event we'll add individual tags as each can will be personal. As you can see we've already been to the $2 shop to get goodies to go inside.

Going to be a busy week for me; scrapbooking tomorrow night; wine tasting Tuesday night; card class Wednesday night; my mum's birthday Thursday (as yet haven't made her birthday card or my next card for demo swap on Saturday). Saturday demo training & swap plus class plus off to see WE WILL ROCK YOU at the Civic.

Sunday I have my inaugural FIRST stamping class in my house - hopefully going to pass on some of the skills I've learnt & inspire others - going to do a pop can (as above), a decorative candle & a gift box.

Wow that's a lot even for me!

YES Spring Is in The Air :-)

Wow I am so in love with this stamp set, punch & double dipped designer paper. We made this absolutely awesome gift/pop can with all of the above & in the past have also played with the set making 6x6 scrapbooking pages. All the embellishments make for some nice little touches.

Colours used were Mellow Moss, Barely Banana (or So Saffron), Pretty In Pink & for those that know me personally I'm not a pink girl but love it balanced out with the browns, green & yellow.

The pop can has been a little ray of sunshine for ME today - thanks Jacque for another great inspirational class!!
