Edited to Add:- Thanks for all the praise for helping Hudson, but it should also go to Tracey as she asked me to help her to do this, not that I hesitated by the way.  Please click Tracey's link and give her praise also, thanks!

Haitian Disaster Relief

Haitian Disaster Relief

Please Help!

    On 12 January, 2010 a magnitude 7.0 earthquake struck Haiti, leaving in its wake devastation so overwhelming that the Haitian people and their leaders can only look for help from the outside to cope. As a Stampin' Up! demonstrator, you can help make a difference in the lives of those who continue to suffer from the effects of this earthquake by purchasing, and more importantly selling, the I {Heart} Hearts stamp set.   

Here is the plan:

From now until 28 February 2010, $2 from every  I {Heart} Hearts  stamp set you sell will be donated to the American Red Cross' Haiti Relief and Development Fund. The Red Cross is already well-established in Haiti, and this money will be used to provide immediate relief and long-term support through supplies, technical assistance and other support to help those in need.

This stamp set also matches our two heart punches (both $30.95 each) – one punch is a large heart, the other punch is 3 hearts on the one punch that lines up on the top left image in the flyer.

   

(both punches - $30.95 each)

Product Name	Item #	Price
I {Heart} Hearts	117715	$42.95

In the past, when terrorists attacked the Twin Towers, when a tsunami struck Indonesia, when a hurricane destroyed New Orleans, and when wildfires ravaged Australia, Stampin' Up! demonstrators have stepped forward and showed their commitment to making a difference in the lives of others. This time is no different.

Email me if you don’t have a demonstrator and would like to order the set & either/both punches (to anywhere in Australia).  Postage on is the minimum of $5.95

Here's two cards and a gift card I made using the I {Heart} Hearts stamp set (all stamped hearts are on dimensionals to make them "pop")

RAK from a Friend

    I got some Happy Mail. RAK (Random Act of Kindness) from my friend Janelle. I think it was really nice of her to send them to me, thanks Janelle!  I also think she did a fabulous job on what she had made me and told her I think she is a very talented. I am so glad I have inspired her to keep stamping and that I can always put a smile on her face.

☺

    Here's what Janelle made for me!

  

This is a photo album that Janelle made me and a card and of course... My cup of Cappuccino!  (private joke LOL ) ... The photo with the tea bag in it made me smile!  The little verse reads...

I'd like to come and visit you,

And have a cup of tea,

But seen you live so far away,

Please have this one on me....

    I think this was a lovely thing for Janelle to do and I very much appreciate it, thanks again Janelle. ☺

   

This is a cute little bag Janelle made me using DSP and a Scallop punch, it's so cute!!!!

 

Here are 4 cards Janelle made me and I think she has done a fabulous job with all of this!

Than You Janelle!!!

Thanks for Looking!

Pot Plant Box

    I think I'm getting clever :P  look what I made last night. I have seen many of these cute little boxes all over the net so I just had to try one out for myself. I also had a special request from Janelle...Hi Janelle!!  to make one so I could teach her. Hope you like what I come up with Janelle. Now I need to make a tutorial.

RAK (random act of kindness)

    Here is a card that I sent to a very special friend of mine  Erika Martin  who I have chatted to for around 18 months now. Erika has helped me to discover things about myself that not even I knew before I knew her. I have also found that we think alike in a lot of ways too, from the heart.

    So here's the card i made and sent to Erika as my RAK. Erika told me she loves it and so does her daughter Girly and it's on her desk so they can look at it. How cool's that!  Thanks Erika.

Recognize the stamps used in this card?  They are from our Summer Mini catalogue called "Embrace Life" and the boarder is done with our "Frames with Flourishes" stamp set from our Idea Book & Catalogue 2008-2009.
   If anyone would like to order them please Email Me and let me know.

Thanks for looking!

RAK (Random Act of Kindness)

    I have been chatting to  Deanne  the past few weeks and I expressed how much I loved the Oriental cards she has on her blog. Yesterday, Deanne 's stamped images for those cards arrived in my letterbox!
    PLUS... Deanne also made a gorgeous card and it was in with the stamped images  :0   much to my shock. Thank you so much Deanne for your thoughtful wishes.

   

    As I've never stamped with oriental images before, I gave it a try. This is my first attempt at using the images that Deanne sent me  on a card myself. Hope you like this one Deanne!  and thanks again.

    This is the beautiful card Deanne sent to me...                        and this is my first attempt...

                                                                                                                                                                       

    Isn't this card from Deanne beautiful!

                I love it   :)
