I am married to Glenn and we have 2 adult children: Josh and Carlie. I live in the Northern Suburbs of Wollongong; just south of Sydney, NSW Australia.
I joined Stampin' Up! in August 2008. I'm having a great time playing with ink and paper and sharing my creations with you.
Thank you for visiting me in my corner of the blogosphere. I hope I inspire you along the way. I hold regular classes and workshops in my studio in East Corrimal and offer classes and tutorials by mail. I hope I can share stamping with you and your friends soon.
Take a look around. If I can help you with any of the gorgeous Stampin' Up! products please don't hesitate to ask me.
Happy creating,
Jenny

I have another Hello Ladybug card for you today. I think the ladybug in Poppy Parade just POPS against the black.
The black and white paper is from the All Together Designer Series Paper. While this paper has “hands” on one side I find the other side so versatile for creating other projects.
Sharing a card from my last class with you. Everyone loved it and I thought you might like it too.
This is a Side Stepper Fold card. We used the Hello Ladybug stamps and punch. I always love seeing yellow ladybugs. We used the Heart and Home Designer Series Paper with it.
I have made several of these in the past. I shared the template and instructions way back and dug up the post to share it with you again.
See how to create your own Side Stepper card -> HERE. It was some time ago so I do apologise for the quality of the template. The instructions in that post are for metric but check at the top of the post there is a link for imperial measurements.
Have fun creating one.
There is still some time for Sale-A-Bration. Don’t miss out on picking up your free gift with your orders over $90 or $180.
Head over to my store now -> HERE. If you need some help please don’t hesitate to contact me.
