Just a small note to say I will no longer be updating this blog. I've been running my other blog for over a year now and have decided that that's the one for me!<br />
<br />
So if you'd like to hop over and have a look and maybe follow that would be fab. It's got lots of ideas and tutorials, fab offers and now and then some yummy candy too!<br />
<br />
You can find it <a href="http://bluejellystampin.blogspot.com/">HERE</a><br />

<br />
Hugs<br />

I'm so so excited about it, there's a photo of my last all day class at Somercotes in there too so some of my ladies have made it into print! Being as the article is all about my classes, I thought I'd tell you a bit more about the classes I have planned over the next few months.<br />
<br />
You can see a full list of my classes, along with themes and prices <a href="http://bluejellystampin.blogspot.com/2011/01/2011-classes.html"><b style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-size: large;">HERE</span></b></a>. My next classes are on <b>Sunday 16th January at 10.30am and 1.30pm</b> and as I've had lots of comments on my clean and simple style, I decided to do a class full of clean and simple thank you cards.<br />
<br />
I always need lots of thank you cards in the new year so figured it was a good time to run the class! Here are just some of the cards we'll be making:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2jP6bCrRK7NRZqpG9a75NWqB2QO_rxAKAPJxgKmQp5GKLS2OkYWbCy3YATfTIEkHPixkTei35v1j8jcxsBNS01NvWUkdxjvfITNbfZzZVz_EMIT9O42ZSwZbzny0WQNr_3wQMjXEPLzRx/s1600/Stampin_Up_Thank_You_Kindly_Class_1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2jP6bCrRK7NRZqpG9a75NWqB2QO_rxAKAPJxgKmQp5GKLS2OkYWbCy3YATfTIEkHPixkTei35v1j8jcxsBNS01NvWUkdxjvfITNbfZzZVz_EMIT9O42ZSwZbzny0WQNr_3wQMjXEPLzRx/s400/Stampin_Up_Thank_You_Kindly_Class_1.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The class <b style="color: magenta;">costs £15</b> including all the kit you need, refreshments and a chip buttie. Or you can also choose to <b><span style="color: magenta;">pay £21</span></b> which includes all the kit plus your own <i><b>Thank You Kindly</b></i> stamp set to use and take home.<br />
<br />
Did you know I now run Scrap Booking classes too? My next class is on <b>Tuesday 18th January at 7.30pm</b>. The theme is <b><i>'winter' </i></b>and we'll be making two 12x12 layouts. The <b style="color: magenta;">cost is £10</b> including all your kit or £22 including all your kit and a 12x12 scrapbook too!<br />
<br />
All classes are held at my home in Arnold and you will need to bring along your own adhesive. All tools are provided but you're more than welcome to bring your own basic tool kit if you don't want to share!<br />
<br />
I also have just a few spaces remaining in my next all day stamp class:<br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;"><b>Saturday 29th January</b></span>, Somercotes Parish Hall, Somercotes. <b style="color: purple;">Just £30 for a full day of creativity</b>, includes:<br />
<ul><li> All the kit to make loads of fabulous projects</li>
<li>Full photo instructions and demonstrations too </li>
<li>A <b>FREE </b>raffle ticket</li>
<li>Refreshments and snacks </li>
</ul>You'll want to bring some cash with you though as the raffle prizes are well worth winning! There will be Stampin' Up! idea book and catalogues for sale as well as tons of projects on display to inspire you. Please bring along your own basic tool kit and a packed lunch. <br />
<br />
All class places need to be booked and paid for in advance, I'd love to see you there. Please contact me on <b style="color: magenta;">07748 707845</b> or email me at <b style="color: magenta;">bluejellystampin@sky.com</b> to book your place.<br />

Well my little nephew was born nearly two weeks ago now and he had a very traumatic start to life. He's now home safe and sound with his Mummy and Daddy and as pround Auntie, I wanted to make him a few very special Christmas presents. Here are two of them, I think I'm safe as I'm sure my brother doesn't read my blog!<br />

I've used the <i><b>Emile Elephant</b></i> image which is a newbie over at the <a href="http://www.digistampboutique.co.uk/catalog/">DigiStamp Boutique</a>. To get him on to the baby vests, I firstly opened the image up in Paint and carefully coloured him in then copied him to Powerpoint and added my nephew's name. Then copied the lot in to Word and flipped it so the font and image were both mirrored before printing on to T-shirt transfer paper and ironing on to the vests. I tell you, it's easier to colour with pens and inks than this way!! It took me ages to zoom in and slowly colour around the edges one pixel at a time. Here's a close up of one of the vests:<br />

I'm really pleased with how they turned out as I have never tried this before. Now I need to make a matching card, gift bag or box and tag so check back soon to see how they turn out. I'll also be having a go at stamping on some baby clothes soon too - I'm in the experimenting mood!<br />

I think it's more likely I will be sending New Year cards now instead of Christmas ones! Anyway, not one to give up just yet - here are a few made using the super <i><b>Christmas Doodles</b></i> images from the <a href="http://www.digistampboutique.co.uk/catalog/">DigiStamp Boutique</a> - currently 20% off!!!<br />

I printed the images directly on to Crumb Cake card and left them as simple as possible with just a few areas shaded for a change instead of the whole image. I quite like the way they've turned out.<br />

These were so quick and easy to make so if you've left your cards to the last minute too - hop over and get yourself these images which are part of a larger set.<br />

Aren't they sweet? I found some old kraft style cards in my cupboard, they've got a bit of a ridge to them so wasn't sure who they'd turn out. I've coloured them with Copics, Galaxy Markers and a Stampin' Up! white gel pen. The punches, papers and sentiment stamp are also Stampin' Up!<br />
<br />

There is another version of each image too which I hope to do something fun with later this week.<br />
Oh and before I forget, there's 20% off all Christmas images this week over at the <a href="http://www.digistampboutique.co.uk/catalog/-new-for-december-c-177.html">DigiStamp Boutique</a> so if you're a bit last minute - go grab some images!<br />
<br />
If you've not read my other blog yet this week, I've been absent due to a family break to Centre Parcs which started off fabulously and then turned very ugly when we all got ill. I won't go in to detail but we're trying to get some tests done to determine what it was - a bug or food poisoning. I am left 11.5lbs lighter which is a slight bonus!<br />

It all started with the cute little spotty cat and I couldn't resist having another go with <i><b>Party Beau</b></i>. You can get her as part of this months special offer over at the <a href="http://www.digistampboutique.co.uk/catalog/-new-for-december-c-177.html">DigiStamp Boutique</a>! I've used some window sheet with Crumb Cake to make my card base.<br />

I coloured her with Copics and paper pieced her outfit, bag and shoes to brighten it up a little.<br />

Then some paper piercing and faux stitching with a white gel pen, followed by some Pretty in Pink grosgrain ribbon, a rhinestone brad and a filigree brad too. The sentiment is Stampin' Up! Basic Phrases, punched out with the jewellery tag punch and the border created with the scallop trim border punch.<br />

I just ventured in to our conservatoire to take a photo of this card (that's where my light box lives) and it's arctic in there! Let me explain, those of you who have a mental picture of my conservatory being a deluxe, double glazed, white clean, bright lovely place to sit and craft or let the kids play - wipe that image from your minds now. Replace it with, wood, scrap that, rotting wood, single pane glass and a lot of mahogony varnish. Oh and no heating! Not idea of a dream conservatory but the dream is out of our price range at the moment so we have to make do with what is there!!<br />
<br />
So enough moaning minnie, here's my card!<br />

We've had more snow and it's still snowing so a snuggly day indoors is the order of the day for us. I'd share a photo but I'm not venturing out to take one! Yesterday I showed you my latest creation using <b>Spotty Cat</b> from <a href="http://www.digistampboutique.co.uk/catalog/-new-for-november-c-171.html"><b>The DigiStamp Boutique</b></a> and today I'm sharing <b>Spotty Dog</b>:<br />

I created the card in a similar way to <b>Spotty Cat</b> by printing him directly on to Stampin' Up! <b>Crumb Cake</b> card and layering on <b>Marina Mist</b>. I shaded him with a mix of Copics, white gel pen, Galaxy markers and pencil crayons. I think I've got a bit better on the Copic shading on coloured card now. The sentiment is from Stampin' Up! <b>Something Sweet</b> and I've added a strip of patterned paper and a large eyelet, tried to avoid using ribbon! Here's a close up:<br />

Not much chance of that tomorrow with the snow forecast we have here!<br />
<br />
Anyway, onto the card and all that. Love this new image of <i><b>Spotty Cat</b></i> which you can get your paws on over at <a href="http://www.digistampboutique.co.uk/catalog/-new-for-november-c-171.html?page=2&sort=3a">The DigiStamp Boutique</a> right now. <br />

<br />
I printed <b>Spotty Cat</b> directly on to <b>Crumb Cake</b> card and then shaded her with Copics for the natural furry look and then a pink Galaxy marker for the spots and flower and highlights done with a <b>white gel pen</b>. The sentiment is from Stampin' Up! level two hostess set <b>Longfellows </b>and the pink card and ribbon are <b>Pretty in Pink</b>. Finished off with a pawfectly pretty border using a Stampin' Up! punch. I'm going to do something similar tomorrow with the <b>Spotty Dog</b> I think!<br />
<br />
I lurve how DigiStamp Boutique images go so well with my Stampin' Up! supplies, makes life so easy for me! <br />

I seem to always colour my digi images in so thought I'd try something a bit different. This idea actually came to me whilst I was lying in bed at about 2am and I had to get up to write it down in case I forgot the next day! I would have too! I printed the images on to Stampin' Up! Crumb Cake card and layered on Real Red. Then I simply coloured in small areas of the images instead of the whole thing. I've used Stampin' Up! white gel pen and red and green Galaxy Markers - they're ideal for working on coloured or dark card.<br />
<br />
This is my favourite of the collection - both Hoot ad Hootie together: <br />

I got stuck with the panto theme so went with the cutie fairies instead. I've used Tallulah from the <a href="http://www.digistampboutique.co.uk/catalog/">Digi Stamp Boutique</a>, isn't she so sweet? I've shown you a close up of the image on my card so you can see her in detail and also the sweet border sticker too. It's from the Love Stories Scrappin Kit by Stampin' Up! and I thought the wording was perfect for this challenge. It was a challenge to use as I printed and coloured Tallulah and then stuck the border sticker down. Had to cut round by hand - eeeeeeek!<br />

<br />
I'm off for a latte now, we traded in our clubcard vouchers yesterday and got a Tassimo machine, a new vacuum and still have vouchers left. We were supposed to get a new landline handset as ours has about had it, but the man at Tesco gave me the wrong vouchers and then refused to swap them. I won't type here what I said to him as I wasn't very polite! <br />

I always think a bit of chocolate can work wonder so this fab new <b><i>Zoe Loves Chocolate</i></b> image from the <a href="http://www.digistampboutique.co.uk/catalog/characters-new-zoe-c-3_18_165.html">Digi Stamp Boutique</a> works for me - isn't she a cutie pie? I've shaded her with Copics (I'm selling my ProMarkers on a certain auction site at the mo) and then used the Satmpin' Up! white gel pen to add dots to her top and hair bow. Then a glitter gem in the middle as I felt the need to be very girlie when I made this one!<br />
<br />
I printed the sentiment on the PC and all the card and scalloped trim are from the Love Story Scrap Kit by Stampin' Up! I daubed around the edge of the image in Pink Pirouette ink (yum) and also masked over a small heart which I then removed and added another gem, I think you can just see it.<br />
<br />
Zoe is on special offer this month so get your mitts on her whilst she's brand spanking new! And please join in with our challenge at Die Cut Dreams too.<br />

It's September already and that means that Stampin' Up! are having a clear out in anticipation of the new Idea Book and Catalogue in October.<br />

<br />
The list shows all products that are retiring and is only valid whilst stocks last or September 30th. Order now to avoid disappointment! Oh my word.......some products have <span style="font-size: large;"><b>50% OFF</b></span>!<br />
<br />
Please <b><a href="http://204.228.150.61/docs/lastchance/en-GB/Lastchance_en-GB.pdf"><span style="font-size: large;">CLICK HERE</span></a></b> to follow the link to view the list which is SEVEN pages long!!! Last year items did sell out so you might want to order quickly.<br />
<br />
On another note, being a Demonstrator I have just seen a preview of the new catalogue and it's FABULOUS!!! Now I can't share with you what is in it, that's a surprise for later, but I can confirm that prices have increased a bit, so if there is something in the catalogue that is staying (i.e.) not on this list) but you like, it will be cheaper for you to buy it this month too! <br />
<br />
<div style="border: medium none; text-align: left;">You can <a href="http://bluejellystampin.blogspot.com/2009/12/contact-me.html">email me</a>, phone me or post your order, I will check availability of all items at time of ordering and update you straight away. With this in mind, it would be helpful if you could pick alternative items.</div><div style="border: medium none; text-align: center;"><br />

I normally plan my DT projects for Monday so that I get one on each blog, not this week! So I'm sorry but it's two for one today to save me doing two posts. I would but it's my wedding anniversary today and after a hard slog at a car boot sale this morning I have wine and a takeaway to look forward too with Hubby. We've made it to seven years without an itch!! Actually we've been together for 15 years now and married for seven of them. Anyway, getting on with it.....Let's start with <a href="http://cupcakecraftchallenges.blogspot.com/">Cupcake Craft Challenge</a> being as I set the theme this week. It's to use a digi image or sentiment on your project. I made these thank you cards:<br />

I'm entering the challenge at <a href="http://pollycraftchallengeblog.blogspot.com/">Pollycraft </a>with these as the theme is 'add a little nature'.<br />
<br />
OK - now pretend you're reading a new post now............<br />
<br />
This week at <a href="http://diecutdreams.blogspot.com/">Die Cut Dreams</a> our challenge is Soft Shades of Vintage! Now me and vintage don't always go so well together, but I'm getting more used to it (I think!) and came up with this:<br />
<br />

I used the sweet image from CC Designs and shaded her with Copics and cut her out. The paper and ribbon are both K&Co I think. A few matching pearls to finish, feel they're necessary with vintage for some reason!<br />

If you're reading thank you!!! I gave them a handful of thank you cards to take home with them to give out to family for birthday presents for Blake and other gifts the boys have been lucky enough to receive. This is one I made for Zac's cousin Alex because Alex always gives Zac some clothes or DVDs and he even gave him his Thomas the Tank Engine scooter!! So here's a thank you card for Alex:<br />

I've used the Thank You boy image from the <a href="http://www.digistampboutique.co.uk/catalog/">Digi Stamp Boutique</a> and coloured him with ProMarkers and Copics. The papers are from my stash and I think are Doodlebug and the brads were lurking in a drawer somewhere too!<br />
