WCMD - Pretty in Pink

Well it's EXACTLY one year since I signed up to be a demonstrator with Stampin' Up! My first event was WCMD last year; one year on and I've been on TV - well I wonder what the coming year will bring??

Just had a small event tonight of my regulars tonight plus welcome along Heather for the first time. We made 2 cards - one I thought appropriate for WCMD a Thinking of You card plus a Christmas one which I will post later in the weekend (as I am seriously sleep deprived & I'm off for regional training down the line tomorrow - yah a day for me to stamp).



Stamp sets: Bud Basics, Basics Outline (Wheel), Sincere Salutations
Card stock: Pretty in Pink, Chocolate Chip, Whisper White
Ink: Pretty in Pink, Chocolate Chip, certainly Celery
Other: Certainly Celery wide & narrow grosgrain ribbon, Pretty in Pink narrow grosgrain ribbon, dimensionals

Cutting instructions etc:
Chocolate Chip: an A5 sheet, 5-5/8 x 1", 3-1/8 x 2-1/2"
Pretty in Pink: 5-5/8 x 3-7/8", 2-7/8 x 2-1/4"
Whisper White: 2-3/4 x 2-1/8"

Only tricky bit is I have wheeled in Pretty in Pink on the Pretty in Pink card stock with the Basics outline wheel - which is hard to see in the photo.

So a happy WCMD to all - yes it's certainly a time to CELEBRATE for some and a time think of others (I am going to send this to one of the other SU! demos from NZSU blog who has recently lost her father).

Wait for this.....

I'm appearing on the breakfast show tomorrow on TV One at 8.50am to talk about World Card Making Day (official day Saturday Oct 4). Well I can already feel my heart pounding faster - hope I sleep tonight & I can imagine this might be the longest 5 minutes of my life.

I'll report back tomorrow night how it went...........................

PS my WCMD event is tomorrow night pop in any time after 6pm (- 9pm) to make a card or two & in my case maybe something to sooth the nerves!

Update from me: I enjoyed the event though a really scary thing - felt like sitting an exam again, interestingly the butterflies disappeared as soon as I walked into the building - it was huge, so much to see!

Now if I could just get someone to do my hair & make up everyday that would be awesome.

For those that didn't see the show my segment was about 5 minutes long & we made my citrus Tart & Tangy combo using Pumpkin Pie & Summer Sun as I thought that was "easy" and colourful. And it wasn't the longest 5 minutes of my life but the quickest!

Well WCMD over for me - what a day - will post my cards soon.

You can see me on the TV One website at the moment if you missed the show!
