Kathryn's Card Afternoon - A Big Thank You

Sorry it has taken me a week to post a round up of Kathryn's Card Afternoon for the Cancer Council's Girls Night In events. Last Saturday afternoon I was joined by 19 lovely ladies for an afternoon of fun and enjoyment, guest enjoyed a glass of champagne on arrival served with some dips and crackers (kindly donated by Ballast Stone Estate Wines and Bayleys of Strathalbyn) and then it was down to creating four handcrafted cards (which I will post in a later blog post). To date I have raised $949 which is just a fantastic effort and I thank everyone who has made this possible.




There were four work areas with a choice of two designs using the same cardstock and resources but using a different stamp set.





We had a silent auction with so many fantastic goodies donated by Stampin' Up! and we also had a raffle and door prizes.





Many thanks to all my stamping friends for the fantastic selection of handcraft cards that were available for sale, I do have quite a few left and will be still selling them in the coming weeks so the grand total will still be on the rise!

The 2010 Holiday Papercrafting UStamp with Dawn & Friends has been announced and I will be again returning as a Guest Designer and I have a FREE PASS to give away to you my blog followers...Just leave a comment here by Friday, 8 October at 12 midnight ACDST.

The Holiday season will be here before we know it and how SPECTACULAR it will be for YOU to have FABULOUS Holiday Projects completed with plenty of time to relax and enjoy the wonders of the season. Get A Jump On Your Jingle will give you all the inspiration you will need to help you create all your papercrafting gifts, stamping classes and camps and make your celebrations extra extra special.

No need to stress over the hustle and bustle of trying to create last minute Holiday Gifts...Get A Jump On Your Jingle and sit back an relax when the Holidays arrive. This is going to be a magical holiday event that you do NOT want to miss.

The Holidays are my favorite time of year and Dawn is excited to announce she will be spreading lots of holiday cheer by giving away even MORE prizes during our Holiday event. She loves giving away prizes and I know you all like winning prizes.

Color Combo's ROCK...Why change a REALLY GREAT thing, right? Well, for the Holiday event we will still include the Color Combo with each project however, we will need to tweak it just a little bit and allow for a few overlaps. 40 Different color combos is just impossible for the Holiday Theme. No worries tho, the Designers are thinking "outside the color combo box" to come up with some extordinary color combos...just not 40 different ones. I know you will agree that 40 projects with 40 coordinating cards & envelopes in 20 days, with NO REPEATS including with PDFS, will definitely help you Get A Jump On Your Jingle!!
