Washi Tape Christmas Tree Card

I have another fun Season of Style Washi Tape Christmas Card for you today.

The presents around the tree are from the lovely Wishing You Stamp Set and the star was made using the star from the Merry Mini's Punch Pack and some scrummy Gold Glimmer Paper.

MDS Monday - What a Beautiful Wedding Day

This weekend I was lucky enough to share a very beautiful day with two very wonderful people - everything about their special day was truly magical and when I got home I started to capture the memories straight away - this is one day I know I am not going to want to forget.  Using My Digitial Studio (MDS) meant that as soon as I had downloaded the photos from my camera I could start to scrap them.  Here is the first page I made about the day.

Feel Goods Flower Shop Frame

Today I am going to share a project with you that made at last weekend's Christmas Stamp and Stay, and which would make a lovely gift or addition to your home. 

The background is a sheet of paper from the lovey Venetian Romance Papers, which has been distressed using Crumb Cake and Gold Metallic Ink.  Next it was stamped with the Delightful Gorgeous Grunge Stamp Set - if you don't own this one yet order it today or tomorrow as you will save 25%!

The flowers were made using the lovely Flower Shop Stamps and Coordinating Pansy Punch, and the scrummy Burlap Ribbon.  The sentiment under the Cherry Cobbler Bow is from the lovely Feel Goods Stamp Set.

It was great seeing everyone's version of this picture come together and soon I should be able to bring you details of the next crafting away weekend.

Scrapbook Saturday - Pages Ready to Go

Sometimes I like to make scrapbook pages that are ready for me to add photos, titles and journalling to, then when I have the photos I can get the pages completed really quickly.  I find this works for me particularly well when I have some scraps to use up or ideas for pages that I just can't wait to try!  

Today I am going to share a couple of pages like this - and these two are still waiting for the right photos and stories.
Eastern Elegance Scrapbook Page by UK Stampin' Up! Demonstrator Bekka Prideaux - get these papers here

The papers I have used for these pages are from the Eastern Elegance Designer Series Paper Pack.  I have also used some of the lovely Delicate Details Lace Tape and the Coastal Cabana Ruffle Stretch Trim.

MDS Monday - Colouring with MDS

For this week's MDS (My Digital Studio) Monday I am going to show you a card which makes use of one of the fun features of the software.  When you use a stamp you can colour it any colour, or combination of colours that you want.  I had a lot of fun making the butterfly on this card multicoloured and what was even better was that when I changed my mind about a colour, or went wrong I could just go over it until I had it how I wanted!  Brilliant.

Find Out About Friday - Improvements to my On Line Shop


Have you visited my on line shop recently?  If you have you may have noticed some improvements Stampin' Up! have made to it to make shopping there even better, so for this week's Find Out About Friday I thought I would tell you about them.


New features for our shopping bag
It is now even easier to save your bag contents, so you can keep adding to it before you check out. Additionally, when you add items to your bag, you can choose to go directly to the bag or continue shopping.

Help with the Ordering Process.
There is now a progress bar to guide you through the ordering process.  There are also more prompts that will help you use your hostess codes and enter my monthly on line hostess draw.

More Pictures and More Sorting Options.
To make it even easier to find the products you want there are now more and larger images of the products as well as an additional sorting option.  You can now sort by either newest or oldest - especially helpful when you are looking at MDS downloads since there are new ones released every week.

More control over how we stay in touch.
You can now check out as a guest or choose if your contact information is passed on to me.  Obviously I hope you will want to stay in touch and take advantage of membership of my Customer Club - there is no pressure on members, just free tutorials, special offers and a customer club draw each month.  However if you would rather not that is absolutely OK too as I want you to get what you want from your Stampin' Up! experience.
Buy Stampin' Up! on line at www.bekka.stampinup.net

So if you have not yet visited my on line shop, why not pop over and check out these features.  If you are ready to place an order this month's Hostess Code is
Use this code during October at www.bekka.stampinup.net and you could win free prodcuts

If you have any questions please just ask
