Thanks to the 6 lovely ladies who are joining me for my first one day retreat on Saturday April 16th - I'm really looking forward to the day and am really pleased with the projects we will be doing - watch your inboxes for photos and admin details which will be coming your way soon!
Sorry still can't show any pics of new stuff anywhere online!
Anyway - while everyone is all on tenterhooks waiting for the new Mini catalogue to go live on Friday - there are still a few more days to go of the March Frenzy which you can read more about on the "Current Promotion" tab! Check out the list of discounted products and get your orders in quick the clock is ticking - and I must go and change the rest of the clocks in the house.

Two places left for the One Day Retreat on 16th April!
Are you going to be fed up with the kids after a week of Easter holidays - and have the prospect of another week ahead??
Why not leave the family to their own devices and come and join me for a day's papercrafting with fabulous new goodies from the new Stampin' Up! Mini Catalogue which goes live on the 1st April. I have two places left on this first run!
I have now designed and costed out the day and the price will be £45.00. This is payable as soon as possible to enable me to order supplies for the classes.
Included in that fee you will get supplies to make the following projects
* A multi page mini album
* Two 12x12 scrapbook pages
* a set of 4-6 cards in a handmade box
I am sorry - but I am not allowed to show any sneak peeks of items from the new mini online until the 1st April - but we will be using the beautiful Springtime Vintage items on all the projects (and I believe these can be seen in the current US Occasions Mini Catalogue (hint!!)).
You will also get a salad lunch (with a glass of wine if you want one), and as much tea/ coffee/ squash etc as you can drink with biscuits and/ or cake, included in the fee
There will be a raffle (you get 1 ticket in your packs and can buy more if you wish), and hopefully - a couple of small make and take projects to allow you to try out even more new product!.
Once I have the samples complete - I will send you pictures so you can bring photos if you want - but don't feel pressured to do so - you can always substitute a photo sized piece of copy paper where the photo will go thus allowing you to take the "perfect shot(s)" for the album and scrapbook pages in slower time.
I am also happy to offer you 10% discount on any orders you make from the SU catalogues on the day
Payment can be made in one of the following ways
* through PayPal
* through a bank transfer on internet banking - email me for my details
* by cash if you should happen to see me personally in the next week or so
* by cheque - but please - only as a last resort - it takes time for me to go to the bank to pay it in and then to clear
Your kit packs will include cardstock, patterned paper, a whole reel of ribbon, a whole pot of buttons and a stamp set (which one depends on how fast I get the order for the one I want in on the night of the 31st March) - and you should have loads of buttons, ribbon and paper and of course the stamp set to take home with you!!
I look forward to hearing from you soon!
Can't make the date but would like to make the projects?
Why not buy the kit pack? It too costs £45 (but instead of lunch you get the P&P for free!). Each project comes with full step by step instructions and a large colour phot of the finished piece.
These will be sent out on the 18th April (after the event) and will be with you by the Easter weekend!

New Stampers 6 Group starting in May!
Do you love card, pretty papers, stamps, ink, punches and all sorts of other lush crafty things?
Do you ever wish you could have a Stampin' Up! workshop but can't think of enough crafty friends to invite?
Well why not come and join my "virtual party" where you can have all the hostess benefits with none of the hassle of actually throwing a party in your house?
A Stampers 6 is a group of customers who each agree to spend AT LEAST £25 each month (excluding P&P) for 6 months on products from the SU catalogues. With this guaranteed minimum spend of £150 from the group, it means that the order qualifies for Hostess Benefits in the form of a free limited edition hostess only stamp set/ designer paper pad, and a minimum of £15 to spend on goodies (and believe me - it can be MUCH more than that!!). Each member gets to be the hostess for one month out of the 6 the club runs.
In your goody parcels each month will also be a little thank you gift from me and a hand made thank you card (with my message on a post it note so you can use the card yourself!
Join now - and not only will you get a free 2010-11 Idea Book and Catalogue - you will also get a copy of the new mini catalogue which goes live on the 1st April with even more goodies to tempt you - and there are some BIG surprises to be had in this one! If you are feeling flush - you can have more than one place - and therefore get the hostess benefits more than once!
If you are interested in joining in the fun - please drop me a line on ExStitch@aol.com or call me on 07973 969153

Scrapping with SU products
I am off gallivanting again on Sunday - this time for a week in the sun of the Dominican Republic, and our flight touches down for an hour or so in one of my favourite places - Antigua. Just thinking about that reminded me of our wonderful holiday last year when Roger & I renewed our wedding vows on a gorgeous white sandy beach at sunset....
After the ceremony - we treated ourselves to a lovely meal at the restaurant on the cliffs at the far end of the beach. It is one of the best restaurants on the island and is part of a resort called Coco Bay. Unfortunately - our photographers weren't there to capture any shots of it so this is one of the photos Katy took of the two of us enjoying our celebratory bottle of a wonderful Puligny Montrachet (Roger has never let on how much it actually cost - so it must have been stonkingly expensive!)
The restaurant is called SHEER so what else could I use for a title - than Sheer Bliss?
The layout is a scraplift of one by Ginger Williams in the new Cricut magazine which I got at CHA - and is done using the beautiful Love Letters DSP.

Looks like the retreat is a goer!!
Thanks for the enquiries I have had so far about the one day retreat - it looks as though its a goer - so I will get on with designing projects and working out the costings properly!
Some of you have asked about the sort of thing I will be offering so here are some examples of what you are likely to get......please note - these are NOT the items which will be offered on the day - they are just to give you an idea of what we will be doing
First up - some scrapbook pages....... these are all 12 x 12!
All of the pages above use entirely Stampin'Up! products so you can see how versatile they are
Now - the tri- shutter album - this is one I made for our vow renewal last year - and we will be doing a version of this one using current products
This is the cover.........
and this is it opened out to show the inside - its not nearly as complicated as it looks - honest! It takes longer to decorate than it does to make!
This is the sort of project that you will make again and again once you have mastered it! We made a version at my December Scrapbook Club meeting and one lady told me she went home and made 4 more as gifts for Christmas!
Here's another mini album we could do as well
And here are the sort of boxed cards sets I was talking about
The retreat will include all the materials for the projects we make - and you will have a fair amount of product left to take home and use again.
If anyone is thinking of coming from outside the area - there are 2 B&Bs in the village (one is the the local real ale pub on the village green) and there are quite a few other pubs close by which offer accommodation too - and if you want to make a weekend of it with the family - there's lots to do in the local area - Bedgebury Pinetum with its "Go Ape!" aerial walkways and bike trails, several National Trust properties and I'm sure my hubby would be willing to take interested partners out sailing at Bewl Water, and there's a steam railway not far away......

One day retreat anyone???
Just gauging the interest out there for a one day "mini retreat" around the launch of the new mini catalogue in April?
I am planning a one day Stampin' Up! crafting event where you would come along to this lovely part of Kent, and spend a lovely spring day papercrafting to your hearts content.
There would be no more than 6 of you, and between 10am and 5 pm on a Saturday. We would be making some lovely things using the lush Stampin Up! products - I was thinking of things like the tri shutter mini album, a scrapbook page and some boxed cards but willing to do whatever attendees would like. Whatever we do - you'll be able to see and try out the punches, stamps, papers, inks and markers that you may only have seen in the catalogue.
We could even make it a scrapbook day where we complete around 8-10 co-ordinated pages!
Price would be around £50 for the day to include all refreshments, a salad buffet lunch (and our nearest supermarket is Waitrose....) and all materials to complete all the projects - and with lots left over for you to take home with you. I will also be offering a 10% discount on any orders taken that day (excluding postage)
If you would be interested could you let me know - and also let me have any suggestions for projects you would like to make so I can get on with some final costings
