Storms Hit South Australia

I just wanted to post here that I am safe and sound at home on my day off today, but the whole state of South Australia experienced a total black out from just before 4 pm yesterday afternoon.


I was at work and we coped well with our black out plan with lanterns, a laptop and one computer that was connected to a printer.  The doctors were able to undertake consultations and I was able to get results or history off the computer.  We closed the Clinic early at 5 pm and cancelled the last few patients.

Whilst at home I had a sandwich and a glass of wine in bed in the warmth listening to a battery powered radio with updates until the power returned at Woodside just before 11 pm.

The wind and rain continued overnight and currently as I type this we have a little sunshine.  The Onkaparinga River from Woodside, Oakbank, Balhannah and Verdun have flowed over bridges.  Thanks to a friend Tracy on Facebook I have a photo of the River in full flood this just before 9 am  at Woodside.

Cable Knit Dynamic Textured Impression Embossing Folder

Have you tried out Stampin' Up!'s first 3d Textured Impression Embossing Folder, if you have not why not come along to my Christmas Card Class on Saturday afternoon as I will be using it.

Check out Shannon from the Stampin' Up! Home Office on the you tube video for lots of tips.




Cable Knit Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder143537
Price$17.00
It’s easy to make a great impression! Just place flat cardstock in this embossing folder, run it through the Big Shot, and out comes cardstock with a bold textured design.

Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folders take embossing to the next level, with deeper, more detailed impressions than standard embossing folders—great for card fronts and accents.

* 1 folder
* 6" x 6" (15.2 x 15.2 cm)
* Use with Big Shot

CASE-ing the Catty Santa's Sleigh Bundle - #CTC97



I received my Stampin' Up! Big Brown Box on Friday just in time for this week's CASE-ing the Catty theme of a favourite bundle, I don't really have a favourite as there are so many that I have had to purchase from this Holiday Catalogue.  I have chosen to feature the Santa's Sleigh stamp set and matching Santa's Sleigh Thinlits Dies.

You may be starting here, so welcome to this week's blog hop or you may have come from Elizabeth Gross and her project this week.

I have been viewing lots of double z fold cards on pinterest and was inspired by the framed imaged to the left to make my card this week with the oh so cute reindeer and sleigh.

I have used a teared piece of cardstock with a line of Dazzling Diamonds Stampin' Glitter on the edge to make the second z fold and took this theme further to the background with a few layers together with some Christmas trees among the snow capped mountains.

Stamp Set:  Santa's Sleigh
Cardstock:  Thick Whisper White, Whisper White, Pear Pizzazz, Cherry Cobbler, Crumb Cake, Gold Foil
Ink:  Pear Pizzazz, Crumb Cake
Accessories:  Santa Sleigh Thinlits Die, Big Shot Die-Cutting Machine, Dazzling Diamonds Stampin' Glitter, Gold Baker's Twine, Rhinestone Basic Jewels
