Card Holder

I was sent an idea from a friend Janine, who thought I might like to try. I changed the size a little to fit the Australian A4 SU Card Stock. Thought I would use Christmas D/S paper and colours to turn this gift card holder into a Christmas one to fit the up coming event. This can so easily be made into any style and made to suit the person you are giving it too.

This is the inside, where the gift card is placed


The front, so you can see its so cute and very easy.



All the measurements and how to make it are on my new Stampin' Up website.

http://www.nyobre.stampinup.net

This site will have new ideas and all the SU promotions that are current. Access to the new Mini Summer on the 1st December. You can contact me through the site or just give me a call.

Hope you enjoy it.

Christmas Card Day at Murray Downs Resort.

Yesterday we had our day at Murray Downs Resort. It was extremely hot, but our setting was fabulous. We were in an air conditioned room looking out onto the pool, surrounded by palms and many happy swimmers. And we all stamped on merrily getting our cards finished. We enjoyed Morning Tea of Scones jam and cream. Had a wonderful lunch of cold meats and many salads and hot spuds with sour cream, and afternoon tea we had many different slices. So it wasn't a day for the diet. Here are a few shots from the day.


Linda, Who didn't have the best start of the day (had a flat tyre). Sue and Debra (1st time at a SU event) having a great time.



Naomi, Bev (Happy Birthday Bev) and Hilda, who have mastered the techniques.



Vicki, Kate and Daeanna, fastest girls on the circuit. Finished early they wanted to stamp on a candle.



Carole, Loreto and Merrilyn (oops I cut the wrong size red circle) having a great time



Bev and Naomi they were cruisin'.



Kristin and Susan (my newest downline SU Demonstrator) Welcome aboard, you will love your time with Stampin' Up!



Cheryl and Julie having a wonderful time. They were waiting for Rhonice who came in time for lunch.


This is Rhonice, Rhonice was amazing she completed all her cards with a little coaching from her partners in half the day. Well Done.



Tricia and Christine, this was their first SU event also. Trica came all the way from Echuca and Chrsitine from Manangatang. welcome and I hope you both had a great day.

So you can see we all had a really good time and everyone completed all there cards, and many also completed a cardle or 2, which was a workshop WOW from Regionals, Melbourne 2009.

Happy Stampin'

Hooray

I have just finished cutting up card stock for 364 Christmas Cards. Thanks to Sue who helped for a couple of hours also. Now the embellishments and the bagging, so nearly there.

Another couple of photos from Regionals. Donna K, my upline set me a sales target and I reached it. This is Donna and myself with the gift that Donna gave me. Thank you so much.



I had to do a short presentation at the Regionals in Melbourne. This is just to prove that I did do it. I was so nervous, but my good friends had faith. I just hope I helped a few out there with getting a few more workshops. I thank Hollie from the Sydney Stampin' Up! Office for having faith in me also, and giving me the opportunity to go way way outside my confort zone.



Sue enjoying her most favorite sweets in the world. You Go Girl !



Happy Stamping

Home from Melbourne Regionals

I traveled to Melbourne to attend our Regionals, with my very good friend Sue, and we met up with the rest of our group. Donna K., Kaylene S., Kathy F., Sherrie, and Donna H. There was approximately 200 who attended, and had a great time. We had some great speakers and some really excellent WOW projects. The Regionals took place at The Crown Casino in the Promenade Building, So we were in really lovely surroundings, nothing but the best.

Thought I would share with you a few photos that were snapped over the day.



Donna H and myself enjoying lunch.

This picture is of 2 girls we met at Regionals. They took our group picture for us, and tried out Holly Thorne photo tips on, How to take a better photo. Do you think it worked.
A big Thank you to Leonie Hegarty and Philipa Petty. (Great shot girls).

I am off to Melbourne tomorrow for the Stampin' Up! Regionals, so that is very exciting. There will be a large number of us enjoying the same craft, and we will all be swapping ideas with our swap cards or projects. I have to make a short presentation, so that is very nerve racking at the moment, just hope I don't let my group down. Will let you know how I go, and will post a few pictures of us all enjoying ourselves.

Until till then Happy Stamping.
