Club SUM Christmas Dinner 19 December 2012

This year we had a combined Christmas dinner and workshop. Following on from the success of last years Thai take out dinner, we again ordered from the same place and had our meal before getting stuck into a Christmas card project.

 My sister, Lily was stuck with making the Fruit salad christmas tree which did not quite come out as I had pictured it. Next time, I'll need to prepare it the night before. Just too busy.

Christmas card production

I managed to make 60 christmas cards in nearly 2 days. Started production on Wed 5/12 night, continued on Fri 7/12 and finished them on Sat 8/12, with some help from my niece, Kaylene who helped me punch some glimmer papers and cut and stick some dimensionals.

Materials used:

Red, Silver and Champagne glimmer paper
Postage punch
1" square punch
Merry Mini's punch set
Whisper White cardstock
Raspberry Ripple cardstock
Raspberry Ripple ink pad
Snail glue
More Merry Messages Stampset

Winner!!!

I received an email from Sophie Zadeh, Training Facilitator at Stampin' Up! who demonstrated at the recent Heartfelt Stampin' Event in Sydney. I was one of the five winners of the Social Media prize. In order to be in the running you had to blog, twitter, fb about the event, and if your post came up when Sophie googled "Heartfelt Stampin' then you had to chance to win a prize. Imagine my surprise when I saw an email from Sophie saying I was one of the chosen five. The prize - Merry Minis stamp set. Lucky I haven't purchased this set yet, although I have already purchased the matching punch set. Yay!!! now to wait for it to arrive in the post.  Hopefully I get it before Christmas :D

I got home on Friday and there was a parcel waiting for me...my prize from Stampin' Up!
