Australia Flood Appeal

As flood waters continue to inundate Australia in what has been described as the worst flooding in 37 years, we express our deepest sympathies to those who have lost loved ones and homes and to those whose lives have been changed forever. We, like so many of you, feel a compelling need to lend support to all those who have been affected.

Stampin' Up! demonstrators have a long history of making a difference in the lives of others--especially when disaster strikes and the need is greatest. Nearly two years ago, we watched another tragedy unfold in Australia. Our hearts were touched as demonstrators, customers and friends joined together in support of the Bushfire Appeal. We've done it before and we can certainly do it again!

Please join with us by supporting the Australia Flood Appeal - a cause in which Stampin' Up! will donate $2 AUD of the retail value of sales from any stamp set (with a retail value of $30 or more) sold in Australia and New Zealand from 15 January through 15 February to the State Emergency Services in Queensland.

Now onto the Christmas cards I made.

You may remember THIS card and I loved it so much I decided to CASE it and use it as my Christmas card.

I decided to use 3 different colours as I had a number of cards to make, I knew I would get bored using just 1 colour. LOL

I also used Delightful Decorations & Contempo Christmas stamp sets.

That's all for tonight. The kiddies are in bed and I'm going to make myself a coffee and maybe make a card (or two). I've had left over kits from my classes last year and found them the other day. I thought why not make them up for myself. That way, I have a stash of cards for birthdays and other occasions this year.

On a sad note......my aunty passed away on Saturday. :-( The funeral will be on Thursday but I also attended a funeral last Thursday for my SIL. Her mother sadly passed away. 2 funerals in 2 weeks - not a good start to 2011. I do have other news but more on that later.

Happy Stamping,
