Well hello there everyone. Yes I know, it's been some time since I've blogged. No excuses other than I've not been crafting much, not had a lot to say really.
Living in Sydney lately has been quite challenging, we are into our 5th week of lock down with no end on the near horizon. I am very grateful that I have now had my 2nd covid vaccination earlier this week. Hubby's is due soon too. We both are more & more becoming home bodies, we don't want to go out anywhere either. Well except the footy, the Swans games but then again, I do not miss being in a huge crowd. I don't miss being jostled about getting into & out of the grounds.
It's hard not being able to go up to visit my father & sister. Not able to visit my son, DIL and grandson either. We are all in the same boat, can't travel more than 10ks from home and only to either go to the doctor's, get food or as in hubby's case, go to work as he's in an essential service. Department of Defense doesn't stop for anything! His company is very understanding and Herbie is in a unique position in that he's head of the training team at the Navy base and they can't really present training to the Navy without him. He loves his job and he's getting to come home earlier than usual due to no traffic, shorter training days too.
Last week I sat for an hour and made 20 Christmas cards. I was very happy with them AND I got to use new products that are coming on 3rd August 2021! Yes, the mini catalogue and next Sale-A-Bration promotion is almost upon us. Check back here and on my Facebook page for the links to the PDF's of both PDFs. Whilst I didn't find a lot that 'grabbed' me in the new mini, I did find some beautiful products. The Memories & More card pack with matching envelope & card base packs for a start. 20 very easy and cute cards made using them and some new ribbon. Done and ready to give/post out!
They are very basic but look quite striking. The Memories & More ($19.25AU) pack is called Ginger & Peppermint and the matching pack of 20 envelopes & card bases ($17.50AU) have the same name. That's $36.75 for both packs which then works out at $1.84 approximately per card. A little more if you buy the gorgeous Cherry Cobbler metallic ribbon to add as well ($14.00AU per roll)
A little note about the ribbon. You can 'fray' it by pulling a thread and have fringed ribbon too, like this! Lovely!!!
So that's all for today, I hope you are all as well as can be expected and getting some crafting done too.
I hope to be back with more samples created with new products as soon as I can. Remember, the new mini is released on 3rd August 2021 and you can start earning free products through the Sale-A-Bration promotions from that date as well. For every $90AU order placed, you can choose one free product. Got to love those freebies!
Do remember also, there is a Designer Series Paper promotion happening RIGHT NOW! This goes right through to 2nd of August. Below is a list a small photos of the Papers included in the promotion.
So remember, til next time,
happy stamping, colouring & creating!
