I have enrolled in a Boot Camp with fellow Stampin' Up! Demonstrators. What is it? Well, I'm not too sure myself but I do know that it is a huge challenge where we all need to do 6 Workshops in 6 weeks. Considering I have done about 3 in 18 months, this will be a big challenge, but what do I have to lose? Absolutely nothing! What do I have to gain? I have the opportunity to share creativity and excitement about the latest Stampin' Up Products, which will be coming on 1 September 2010.


Why are we doing this? Well, for one, it is to raise money for a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator who has a daughter with Cerebral Palsy and so all Demonstrators joining the Boot Camp are required to make a donation to assist with the purchase of a Chair for "Lara". This chair will make a great deal of difference to this little girl, as it will enable her to do some things that we take for granted - Lara would be able to moved around with the family and will be able to sit at the dinner table to eat with her family. Such a small thing that I am sure would mean everything to Lara.


So I challenge you all to pick up the phone and ring me now to arrange your Workshop.  And the best bit? You, as the hostess, can earn some fabulous free stamp sets and earn dollars to spend on your choice of fantastic Stampin' Up! products, which of course, will all be from the 2010-2011 catalogue.  With a team training day this weekend, I am sure I will be learning some great techniques that of course, I'm willing to share with you!

My 2010-2011 Catalogue Launch is happening on 15 September at 7.30 at the Narara Valley Baptist Church.  You will make 2 projects on the night, receive a great prize, chat with other like minded crafters and Stampin' Up! Demonstrators and receive a new catalogue, all for $20.  Email me now to reserve your place as numbers are limited!  lisabowcock@bigpond.com

And just as a final note, here is a couple of my latest cards -Basic Black, Real Red and Whisper White - makes a stunning card doesn't it?

Baby Announcement/Thank You

My great friend, Nic, recently had a little baby girl.  She wanted me to make her some baby shower thank you cards but now that the little wonder has arrived, we need to do thank you/announcement cards.  An easel card looks difficult but is relatively easy.  Once you work out how to tape the card together, it all just falls into place.

Here it is.  Hope you like it. 

Feel free to email me if you would like the instructions on how to make an easel card.

Water Colouring

Hi

Here is another water colouring card - a technique that I am trying to master.  Hope you like it.

Male cards, always so hard aren't they?

Last Chance

Hundreds of stamp sets are going for good and some with up to 50% off.  Now is your last chance to order some products that we will never see again.  Check out my Stampin' Up Website for further details, under promotions - here is the link  http://www.stampinup.net/esuite/home/lisabowcock/promotions, click on the Last Chance List. 



From now until the end of this month, I am offering free postage on orders of $50 or more.


It has been some time since I have updated this blog, sorry, I seem to never get around to doing so many things.  I have been trying to master the art of Watercolouring.  Here is my man's card using this technique - I still have my "L" plates on here I think!!

I have also been very busy doing a friend's guest book for her wedding, which has consumed a lot of time.  The biggest reward, she loved it, and added bonus, everyone else, including her reception venue, loved it.  Gives me confidence in what I love to do!

Other exciting news is that I have seen a sneak peek of the new catalogue, due out next month.  It has some fantastic new products, I am really excited about some of them.  Why not be one of the first to see the new catalogue, call me to arrange your workshop or class.  By the way, I am more than happy to do a class rather than a workshop at your home with your friends.  I am also planning to have a class at my home sooner rather than later so I will post the date as soon as I know (in the process of painting too, which has taken over priorities a bit).

Ever thought about becoming a Demonstrator??  This is a very exciting time with new products and loads of excitement from papercrafters everywhere.  Why not talk to me about joining a fabulous, talented group of people with the same passion as you?  It could be the start of something wonderful! 

And just for my final note, I have created a challenge this month for SU Demonstrators, that I will now pass onto you.  Create a male card (not a child) in a technique you have never done before, don't like doing or would like to master.  Send me your pics and I will upload them onto the blog!
