It's easy to stamp a banana...

But hard to stamp an egg...

One of the lovely ladies who came to our Paper Angels Christmas Card Workshop has special dietary needs and said she'd be right with 'a banana and a boiled egg.'

So the challenge was on.  Here is her Stampin' Up! banana.  Easy to stamp using Staz On ink.

 

 

And here is her egg - really hard to stamp on those curves!!

 

 



Stamps:  Workshop Words,  Tiny Tags
Card:  No card, just an egg and a banana

Paper Angels Christmas Card Workshop

I had a fantastic day yesterday at our annual Christmas Card Workshop, here on the Coast.  This event has been runing for a few years now in different venues but this is the first time we have done it at the Gold Coast.  There were 25 ladies gathered in the cafe of Genesis Christian Ministries who kindly donated their space for free AND provided us with a delicious moning and afternoon tea and lunch thereby contributing the catering budget to our fundraising.

Here are some pics...

Everyone had a bag containing their stamp set and other goodies to make their projects...

Our raffle prizes donated by Stampin' Up!

This beautiful doll is being raffled across all venues and has been made by one of our team using the Comfort Cafe fabric...

Some of the creative ideas on display...

The delicious food provided by the church congregation...

 

And our attendees hard at work...

 

 



Our efforts raised a huge $535 for the Mater Mothers' Support Programs.  Well done us!

Thanks so much to Angela, Jenny, Nadene and Teresa who helped get everything organised and then helped run the day.  And to all the ladies who pitched in to clean up at the end.  The day could not have gone more smoothly. 

Thanks for stopping by!

Sweet Pressed Cookie er...Biccie Stamps

I had a play today with the Sweet Pressed Cookie stamps. They come with two recipes and I tried the Sugar Cookies.  I had read some American demonstrators' blogs and some had said to stamp the design once the cookies were out of the oven rather than before.  I decided to try both ways.

These were stamped before going into the oven...

These were stamped a couple of minutes after coming out of the oven.

I must admit the images were a little sharper when stamped after and it was a little easier to do.  AND the recipe was YUM!

These cookies (or 'biccies' as we like to say) are from the Special Events set.  The set comes with a beautiful wooden handle and three silicone stamps, 7 cm in diameter.

Stamps:  Sweet Pressed Cookie Stamps (#126903) $29.95

Festival of Prints DSP

I have been busy getting organised for our Paper Angels event coming up soon.  One of the products we are using is the Festival of Prints DSP from the Holiday mini and I have a few scraps left over.  When our October Impressions magazine (a monthly publication for all demonstrators) arrived today (!) I immediately CASEd two of the cards.

Thought this one was OK without a sentiment..... You can see what it's for, right?

And this one is very simple to make.

Thanks for stopping by!
