<p style="text-align: justify;">This &#8216;drop dead gorgeous&#8217; Christmas Ornament was created by Shelli Gardner, our amazing co-founder and CEO of Stampin&#8217; Up! I just love Shelli&#8217;s style, which I guess I describe as modern vintage! This is one of two make &amp; takes I will be offering at the September Demonstrator&#8217;s meetings. I will be hosting 2 of these meetings at my home studio on Wednesday 26th of September at 10am and 7.30pm, and at Ursula&#8217;s studio in Rochedale on Saturday 29th September 2.30pm.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If you have seen the new Stampin&#8217; Up! catalogues, you know your wish list is huge! As demonstrators, we get 20% discount on our purchases plus we get access to an entire team of lovely friendly demonstrators willing to share their ideas and experience. Please <a href="mailto:liz@craftclassroom.com" target="_blank">contact me</a> if I can help you with any information about becoming a demonstrator and joining our next creative meeting and making this great project!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">love Liz</p>

<p>We have received so many enquiries already about this year&#8217;s Christmas Card Workshops and are incredibly excited to formally announce that bookings are now officially open. I will be attending ALL venues except for Pine Rivers Bowls Club as I shall be attending the Quota Craft Fair that same day.</p>
<p>If you click on the above brochure <span style="font-size: x-small;">(you may need to click the download button on the top right of the Dropbox screen)</span>, you will be able to read all the details clearly! Note we have kept the cost at the same price for the past 5 years, being $65 for an entire day (10am till 4pm) of fun, friends and creativity. This is great value!</p>
<p>We have provided an opportunity for you to choose a wood rather than the supplied clear mount stamp, for an extra $7; as well as the opportunity to buy the coordinating &#8216;Framelits Die Cutting System&#8217; for the stamp set for an additional $32, rather than the separate price later of $42.95. You do not need to choose either of these options, they are simply there for your convenience/choice.</p>
<p>Please book with me by<a href="mailto:liz@craftclassroom.com" target="_blank"> email</a> or phone 0448 896 001. Places are limited and some venues will book out quickly, so please do book in promptly to avoid disappointment.</p>
<p>Payment is required at the time of booking so that your stamp set, papers, sanding system and kit may be ordered.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">One of the many reasons I love Stampin&#8217; Up! is that our products are so versatile. For example, we can make &#8216;clean &amp; simple&#8217;, &#8216;retro&#8217;, &#8216;antique inspired&#8217;, &#8216;vintage&#8217; and &#8216;cute&#8217; papercraft projects. Coordinated paper, inks, punches, cutting tools and accessories; mean that the &#8216;sky is the limit&#8217;. Did you know that you can also create<strong> &#8216;Paper Art&#8217;</strong> using Stampin&#8217; Up! products? From<strong> &#8216;Collage Backgrounds&#8217;</strong> using sponging, inking and stamps; to <strong>&#8217;3D Multimedia Accents&#8217;</strong> created with paper, crystal effects and embossing; there are endless possibilities available to those willing to &#8216;play&#8217;, &#8216;experiment&#8217; and be brave enough to make a few disasters along the way &#8211; Creativity takes Courage, after all!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Some Paper Angels Independent Stampin&#8217; Up! Demonstrators have been working on a Paper Art project and I thought I&#8217;d share some of the <strong>&#8216;Work in Progress&#8217;</strong>. <a href="http://zenakennedy.blogspot.com.au/" target="_blank">Zena</a> has created one of her now famous &#8216;ladies&#8217; &#8211; this one has been dubbed &#8216;Aiesha&#8217; and she is a forrest nymph, created with cardstock, paper, stamps, embossing, string, crystal effects and glitter. I am in total awe of the creative use of Stampin&#8217; Up! products in such a unique way. We will be mounting &#8216;Aiesha&#8217; on a canvas and will share the finished presentation with you soon.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.craftclassroom.com/paper-art/aiesha-by-zena/" rel="attachment wp-att-4089"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-4089" title="Aiesha by Zena" src="http://www.craftclassroom.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Aiesha-by-Zena-600x546.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="546" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Zena has also created a trio of sponged landscapes that will be mounted on a canvas. I can&#8217;t wait till the next round of Paper Angels Demonstrator Meetings at the end of the month because Zena has agreed to demonstrate her techniques! For those Paper Angels Demonstrators that are unable to attend, we will share a video with you. Another great reason to <a href="http://www.stampinup.net/esuite/home/lizcollett/jointhefun" target="_blank">join as a demonstrator</a> with the Paper Angels Team of Independent Demonstrators.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.craftclassroom.com/paper-art/sponged-trio-by-zena/" rel="attachment wp-att-4090"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-4090" title="Sponged Trio by Zena" src="http://www.craftclassroom.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Sponged-Trio-by-Zena-600x150.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="150" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://stampinwithu.blogspot.com.au/" target="_blank">Ursula</a> has also been busy creating an amazing canvas with watercolour paper and our lovely &#8216;Watercolour Crayons&#8217;, which are Stampin&#8217; Up!s &#8216;Rolls Royce&#8217; of colouring! As you can see, when you start experimenting, things start to get messy but it will be worth it when we can enjoy the finished project, so check back soon to see the completed canvas.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.craftclassroom.com/paper-art/ursulas-work-in-progress/" rel="attachment wp-att-4091"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-4091" title="Ursulas Work in Progress" src="http://www.craftclassroom.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Ursulas-Work-in-Progress-600x227.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="227" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If you have been using <strong>Stampin&#8217; Up! products</strong> to create <strong>&#8216;Paper Art&#8217;</strong>, we&#8217;d love to see them, so please do<a href="mailto:liz@craftclassroom.com" target="_blank"> email</a> any ideas you&#8217;d like to share with our <strong>Craft Classroom</strong> &amp; <strong>Paper Angels</strong> community.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&#8216;Creatively Yours&#8217; Liz</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">I have been in conversation with a few fellow Stampin&#8217; Up! enthusiasts lately, who are looking at the Stampin&#8217; Up! Demonstrator Starter Kit, which is now $169 and fully customisable! It has occurred to us that August is a brilliant time to join Stampin&#8217; Up!, because you can include so many different products from 3 different catalogues* in your Starter Kit as well as taking advantage of discounted retiring products. New demonstrators may choose $235 of retail product from the current Idea Book &amp; Catalogue (including discounted retiring product), selected pre-order items from the NEW 2012-2013 Annual catalogue, and selected pre-order products from the NEW Holiday Catalogue*</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Imagine your delight at receiving $235 retail of Stampin&#8217; Up! products of your choice, delivered right to your door straight from Stampin&#8217; Up! and then being able to order Stampin&#8217; Up! products at a 20% discount. Having seen an electronic copy of the NEW Annual Catalogue, I am confident that many people will have a reaction that will resemble excitement and dread simultaneously. How is this possible? Basically &#8216;total excitement&#8217; at the brilliant NEW product offerings and &#8216;dread&#8217; when they think what their &#8216;wish list&#8217; might add up to! Well, there is an easy answer to that &#8211; either become a discount demonstrator (preferred buyer) or do your own workshops/classes and reap the benefits of selling product &#8211; imagine self funding your hobby or even making extra money to bring into your household!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">So what could be better than that? Well, I have decided for AUGUST only to GIVE AWAY my retiring Ex-Demonstration Stamp Sets to new recruits who join* New Demonstrators may choose 2 ex-demo sets from the following lists &#8211; it will be &#8216;first in best dressed&#8217;, so get in early to choose your 2 favourite sets for FREE in August.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">OK, it&#8217;s that time of year when we are ushering out the old and welcoming in the new. August is the last month of the <a href="http://www.stampinup.net/esuite/home/lizcollett/catalogs" target="_blank">current Stampin&#8217; Up! Annual Catalogue</a> and also the LAST CHANCE to snap up retiring products (some of which are on sale) from the <a href="http://www.stampinup.net/esuite/home/lizcollett/promotions" target="_blank">retired stamp &amp; accessory list.</a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I thought I would help you wade through the very long accessory list by highlighting the top 7 bargains! If you are interested in these, you will need to act QUICKLY as it is a first in best dressed basis on retiring products in August and it will be no surprise that the sale items often go first. I am placing an order tonight (Thursday) as well as tomorrow (Friday) and then a couple of days after that again &#8211; the sooner your order comes to me, the better your chance of securing your favourite retiring product (you know the one you&#8217;ve been meaning to order but as yet haven&#8217;t) and/or a major bargain.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.craftclassroom.com/lizs-top-seven-retiring-accessories-on-sale/screen-shot-2012-08-02-at-11-46-29-am/" rel="attachment wp-att-4064"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4064" title="Screen shot 2012-08-02 at 11.46.29 AM" src="http://www.craftclassroom.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Screen-shot-2012-08-02-at-11.46.29-AM.png" alt="" width="493" height="353" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&#8216;Nursery Nest&#8217; Designer Series Paper is now 40% OFF and instead of the usual $18.95, you can now purchase as many packets as you like for only $11.37. This is an awesome paper and great for cardmaking and scrapbooking alike. This paper would make a great gift for a papercrafter, someone having a baby, or dare I even say it &#8216;wrapping paper&#8217; for small gifts!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.craftclassroom.com/lizs-top-seven-retiring-accessories-on-sale/screen-shot-2012-08-02-at-11-47-35-am/" rel="attachment wp-att-4065"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4065" title="Screen shot 2012-08-02 at 11.47.35 AM" src="http://www.craftclassroom.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Screen-shot-2012-08-02-at-11.47.35-AM.png" alt="" width="495" height="264" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Can you believe this! 75% OFF these Christmas Designer Fabric Packs! Each pack includes 3 beautifully coordinated designs in an extra-wide fat quarter size, each piece being approx 68.6 x 45.7. These packs are now ONLY $4.99. Seriously this has to be the best bargain of all and I can see loads of applications, from patchwork to gifting such as covering jar lids on home made Christmas Treats! Really it&#8217;s only limited by your imagination and at this price you can afford to stock up and maybe even include them as stocking fillers in gifts for crafty friends!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.craftclassroom.com/lizs-top-seven-retiring-accessories-on-sale/screen-shot-2012-08-02-at-11-48-25-am/" rel="attachment wp-att-4066"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4066" title="Screen shot 2012-08-02 at 11.48.25 AM" src="http://www.craftclassroom.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Screen-shot-2012-08-02-at-11.48.25-AM.png" alt="" width="485" height="142" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Some demonstrators are expressing shock that the Crop a Dile is being retired and I&#8217;m hearing them &#8211; I use this tool all the time. I can only imagine that it is because eyelets are no longer a current trend in papercrafting at present. However, this is a tool well worth having for it&#8217;s magnificent ability to punch holes through chipboard and multiple layers of cardstock with ease! But don&#8217;t be sad it&#8217;s going, buy one NOW at 25% off Normally $54.95 this must have tool is NOW ONLY $41.21</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.craftclassroom.com/lizs-top-seven-retiring-accessories-on-sale/screen-shot-2012-08-02-at-11-48-49-am/" rel="attachment wp-att-4067"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4067" title="Screen shot 2012-08-02 at 11.48.49 AM" src="http://www.craftclassroom.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Screen-shot-2012-08-02-at-11.48.49-AM.png" alt="" width="514" height="183" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Don&#8217;t cry &#8211; this fabulous stamp cleaner is not actually being retired, rather it is being reformatted into a larger square version. I&#8217;m guessing this is to make cleaning the larger background stamps easier. Having said that, this current model does the job and if you don&#8217;t yet own one and would rather get a discount than wait for the bigger version, now&#8217;s the time to buy one. Normally $28.95, this essential tool is now 25% off and is NOW $21.71. What a great present for a fellow stamper who doesn&#8217;t yet own one too!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.craftclassroom.com/lizs-top-seven-retiring-accessories-on-sale/screen-shot-2012-08-02-at-11-49-39-am/" rel="attachment wp-att-4068"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4068" title="Screen shot 2012-08-02 at 11.49.39 AM" src="http://www.craftclassroom.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Screen-shot-2012-08-02-at-11.49.39-AM.png" alt="" width="362" height="195" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Loving this &#8216;continuous&#8217; border punch, which stands alone, is great as a border tucked under another layer, or also looks great with ribbon threaded through it. Unbelievably this punch is 40% OFF and instead of the normal $38.95 NOW you can order for $23.37!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.craftclassroom.com/lizs-top-seven-retiring-accessories-on-sale/screen-shot-2012-08-02-at-11-50-02-am/" rel="attachment wp-att-4069"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-4069" title="Screen shot 2012-08-02 at 11.50.02 AM" src="http://www.craftclassroom.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Screen-shot-2012-08-02-at-11.50.02-AM-214x600.png" alt="" width="214" height="600" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Finally the Triple Layer &#8216;Blossom Bouquet&#8217; Punch is also 40% OFF and instead of $44.95 you&#8217;ll pay ONLY $26.97! What a bargain when you consider that this punch actually punches 4 different flowers which either stand alone or can be layered in different colours. Enjoy!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Don&#8217;t forget, these products plus the rest of the retired list, is only available whilst stocks last. I cannot order them once they have run out OR past the 31st August! Every year, I get contacted after this date and asked if I can get something from the previous catalogue &#8211; really this is true. Sadly I cannot help these people and it makes me sad!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Please either <a href="mailto:liz@craftclassroom.com" target="_blank">email me</a> you order or phone on 0448 896 001</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&#8216;Creatively Yours&#8217; Liz</p>

Still, I now have the next best thing &#8211; an idea to inspire me! thanks so much Renee for sharing your lovely work.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Convention 2012 in Canberra was fantastic, with heaps of wonderful presentations, people and product announcements! I have created 8 photo collages to share with you and I hope you enjoy hearing about Stampin&#8217; Up!s much anticipated yearly event.</p>
<p>Managers and above were treated to early access to Memento Mall, which is like a special souvenir shop. This was because we had an early leadership session, which would mean we would otherwise get much later access. Bec, Ursula and I were excited to see all the mementos; including Stampin&#8217; Up! branded clothing and useful items such as craft bins, snail tethers and bags &#8211; just to name a few.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.craftclassroom.com/convention-2012-wrap-up/memento-mall/" rel="attachment wp-att-4000"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-4000" title="Memento Mall" src="http://www.craftclassroom.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/Memento-Mall-555x600.jpg" alt="" width="555" height="600" /></a></p>
<p>It was so exciting, waiting for the Opening Session to start. The theme of the Convention was &#8216;I am&#8217;, which is reflective of Stampin&#8217; Up!&#8217;s &#8216;My Way&#8217; campaign which is basically highlighting that demonstrators can run their business to suit their needs and goals. From personal shopper through to a team leader, all demonstrators are welcomed and honored equally and are encouraged to put their own personal stamp on the way they run their business.</p>
<p>Prize patrol is a much anticipated part of Convention, where demonstrators have the chance to win new release product bundles. A number of Paper Angel Demonstrators were lucky enough to win, including Zena who managed to win attending her first Convention in the first session &#8211; you can tell she&#8217;s super happy!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.craftclassroom.com/convention-2012-wrap-up/opening-session/" rel="attachment wp-att-4001"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-4001" title="Opening Session" src="http://www.craftclassroom.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/Opening-Session-600x580.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="580" /></a></p>
<p>Continuing along the theme of &#8216;I am&#8217;, Stampin&#8217; Up! held Manager&#8217;s Reception was held in Parliament House, with an &#8216; I am Australian&#8217; theme. Bec and I were thrilled to have the company of Ursula, who recently achieved promotion to Manager. Next year we hope to welcome more Paper Angels along to this special event, where we enjoyed nibblies, chatting with Stampin&#8217; Up! staff from both the Sydney and US office, hearing a presentation from Shelli Gardner (Co-founder and CEO of Stampin&#8217; Up!), as well as a Q&amp; A time. We gathered in the &#8216;Mural Hall&#8217; which is pretty well under the central spire of Parliament House and there was an awful lot of security! I heard later that there was a late sitting of Parliament. Perhaps they were worried we would stow away or try to infiltrate parliament proceedings? Obviously no-one told them, we had better things to do &#8211; after all, we had day 2 of Convention to attend!</p>

<p>Day 2 was opened by Dave Baugh, whose position at Stampin&#8217; Up! Home office is Vice President, Global Operations. We then split up into smaller groups to attend a variety of classes. Our first class was &#8216;Make &amp; Takes&#8217;, which was great and that is where all the photographs are taken. I really enjoyed getting to know some new demonstrators to our Paper Angels Group as well as spending time with the ones that have been to many other events.</p>

<p>Day 2 also offered an optional evening class, which was taken up by a huge number of people. We made a 3D Advent Calendar and enjoyed lollies from the lolly table, if we were quick enough!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.craftclassroom.com/convention-2012-wrap-up/class-project/" rel="attachment wp-att-4004"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-4004" title="Class Project" src="http://www.craftclassroom.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/Class-Project-600x250.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="250" /></a></p>
<p>I managed to take a few photos of Paper Angels at this optional evening class, as well as the lovely Jeanette and Amelia.</p>

<p>Day 3 was fabulous and was wrapped up with the Awards &amp; Recognition Banquet. The food was delicious, with a &#8216;Sesame Beef with Cucumber and Dill Salad&#8217; for Entree, &#8216;Persian Fetta Stuffed Chicken Supreme, wrapped in Pancetta, Yellow Lentil Ragout, Coriander Rice Cake&#8217; for Main &amp; for dessert a &#8216;Pineapple and Banana Souffle&#8217; &#8211; it was actually cold with an ice cream component, inside a chocolate cup &#8211; Oh my goodness, it was fabulous!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.craftclassroom.com/convention-2012-wrap-up/awards-dinner/" rel="attachment wp-att-4006"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-4006" title="Awards Dinner" src="http://www.craftclassroom.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/Awards-Dinner-313x600.jpg" alt="" width="313" height="600" /></a></p>
<p>After the dinner we moved to the Main Stage/Royal Theatre in the Convention Centre, for the Awards Presentations. I&#8217;d love to share some images of the stage walks by myself, Ursula and Bec for 5+ years, sales and so on, however, from where we were sitting all our photos were rear views which to say the least were not too flattering! Instead I&#8217;m sharing some pictures with Stampin&#8217; Up! Australian Office Staff, Jeanette and Ana, as well as Bec and I with Aaron who is the Regional Business Development Manager &#8211; we are holding our certificates for places in the final &#8216;Top 25 Demonstrators of the Year&#8217;. Bec received 16th position, whilst I received 12th. Stampin&#8217; Up! has now changed their awards system and &#8216;Demonstrator of the Year&#8217; will no longer be a part of the Awards System. Instead, they are moving towards a system where demonstrators are competing against themselves and their own personal goals, which I think is great. I am proud that I have achieved &#8216;Top 25&#8242; for 6 consecutive years since Stampin&#8217; Up! began, because I believe this achievement is a result of our entire team&#8217;s efforts. Thankyou to all the Paper Angels for your incredible work this year and your unwavering focus on sharing your skills and friendship with others, as well as making a difference in other people&#8217;s lives.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Last week the Paper Angels Demonstrators had a number of demonstrator meetings at various times and locations. We were treated to a very special make and take, thanks to the efforts of <a href="http://www.craftclassroom.com/paper-angels-demonstrator-profile-felicity-laritz/" target="_blank">Felicity Laritz</a>, who designed and created this awesome &#8216;Dinosaur Diorama Card&#8217;. More than 30 demonstrators learnt how to create this awesome boy&#8217;s card. If you were unable to make the demonstrator&#8217;s meeting or are a long distance demonstrator, Felicity kindly created a PDF instruction sheet to share with Paper Angels Demonstrators. Please <a href="mailto:liz@craftclassroom.com" target="_blank">email me</a> if you would like an instruction sheet.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">We will base our next demonstrator meeting challenge on this card. So if you are a Paper Angels Demonstrator, you are invited to create and bring to the meeting, your version of this card or something inspired by this card. I have heard demonstrators talking about &#8216;fairy scenes&#8217;, &#8216;underwater scenes&#8217; etc. You are only limited by your own imagination. Great prizes on offer plus the fun of sharing your ideas! Demonstrators unable to attend the meeting are welcome to post their entry to me.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If you are a customer who would like to learn to make this card, book a workshop and I will be happy to teach you this card as a complimentary make &amp; take. Alternately, I will be sharing this card at Craft Group on Tuesday 15th May 10am at the Wynnum Manly Worker&#8217;s Club, Bognor St, Tingalpa.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">The last couple of weeks I have been working on 3 scrapbook page designs that I taught at my recent classes, last Friday and Sunday. Having taught these pages twice now, I have been lucky enough to create 9 pages in total including my initial samples. I love this because I have been able to make real headway with 3 albums in a short space of time. Working with beautiful papers, such as Stampin&#8217; Up!s &#8216;Attic Boutique&#8217; make it easy to find treasured photographs amongst my collection that will coordinate. My next scrapbooking events will be on Friday 18th May and Sunday 20th May, with details being added to the events section of my website soon. Here are the results of my latest scrapbooking blitz.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">With May being the perfect time to join as a Stampin&#8217; Up! Demonstrator, I thought I&#8217;d jot down some things you might not know about my life as a Stampin&#8217; Up! Demonstrator as well as some things about Stampin&#8217; Up! I hope that you read them and feel inspired to learn more about joining as a Demonstrator this month, with a member of the Paper Angels Team. We would like to invite fellow paper-craft enthusiasts from around Australia to join our fun and friendly community. I hope you enjoy reading my thoughts as well as learning something you may not have known!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p><span style="font-size: large;">25 Things you might not know about my Stampin&#8217; Up! Life</span></p>
<p>When I first started, I had no sales experience</p>
<p>One of my first workshops had 18 people attending – eek!</p>
<p>I prefer small workshops where I get to know people</p>
<p>My children are actually jealous that I seem to have more friends than they do!</p>
<p>My Australian demonstrator number is 12</p>
<p>I still get nervous before workshops</p>
<p>I have been awarded the &#8216;Heart of Stampin&#8217; Up&#8217;</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t like multi-level marketing terms, like &#8216;downline&#8217;</p>
<p>I have been in the &#8216;top 25&#8242; demonstrators in Australia since it&#8217;s inception</p>
<p>I&#8217;m glad Stampin&#8217; Up! Has dropped the &#8216;top 25&#8242; ranking system</p>
<p>I can&#8217;t imagine my life without my Stampin&#8217; Up! Friends</p>
<p>I was one of the first demonstrators to present a &#8216;Workshop Wow&#8217; at Convention</p>
<p>I have presented at a Brisbane Regionals and the recent Melbourne Convention</p>
<p>I would still share and teach paper-craft even if it wasn&#8217;t my business</p>
<p>I think I learn as much from my customers as they do from me</p>
<p>I have earned 3 Incentive Trips (Palm Beach, Noosa and Hamilton Island)</p>
<p>My favourite Stampin&#8217; Up! Colour is &#8216;Early Espresso&#8217;</p>
<p>I was a scrapbooker before I became a cardmaker</p>
<p>I can &#8216;make a difference&#8217; doing something I love</p>
<p>Paper Angels&#8217; Group of Independent Demonstrators, belongs to our team</p>
<p>I am extremely proud and protective of our team</p>
<p>Our team is made up of incredibly talented and generous people</p>
<p>The hardest thing about workshops is figuring out what not to demonstrate</p>
<p>Paper Angels have supported the Mater Footprints Program for over 5 years</p>
<p>I do not own every single stamp set, despite what my husband might tell you!</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">I have been having a lovely time using &#8216;Attic Boutique&#8217; Designer Series Paper! Stampin&#8217; Up!&#8217;s coordinated products mean that I can create titles and accents to perfectly match. On this page I created a ribbon swap using the NEW Pool Party Seam Binding Ribbon as well as a title accent using Pool Party &amp; Calypso Coral Classic Inks. Interlocking mitered frames were created using the DSP.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I am running 2 classes in my home studio, where I will be teaching the 3 scrapbook pages I have uploaded using &#8216;Attic Boutique&#8217; Designer Series Paper. Learn how to create ribbon swags, personalised accents and perfect mitered frames. Friday 4th May 10am-1pm OR Sunday 6th May 2pm-5pm. Class cost is $25 and you will complete 3 12&#215;12 pages. Please bring your basic kit (adhesives, trimmer, scissors). Photos are not required as they may be added later. Bookings are essential and payment is preferred to secure your place. Contact me by <a href="mailto:liz@craftclassroom.com" target="_blank">email</a> or phone 0448 896 001. Paper Angel Demonstrators are also welcome to attend either class and may supply their own materials &#8211; please <a href="mailto:liz@craftclassroom.com" target="_blank">email</a> me for a materials list.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.craftclassroom.com/autumn-winter-mini-catalogue-demonstrator-swap-part-4/mixed-bunch/" rel="attachment wp-att-3934"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-3934" title="Mixed Bunch" src="http://www.craftclassroom.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Mixed-Bunch-600x600.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="600" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">For those of you that thought I was forgetting to upload the balance of the recent demonstrator swaps, fear not! &#8211; I will be sharing the work of all 30 participants. As you can imagine this takes a bit of time, although I seem to be on a roll tonight! It seems to be like a rolling feast of creativity &#8211; at least there&#8217;s no such thing as overindulging in inspiration.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Another big thank-you to ALL our creative participants, four of whom decided to showcase the &#8216;Mixed Bunch&#8217; Stamp Set on page 21 of the current NEW Autumn Winter Mini Catalogue! What we all love about this stamp set, apart from the gorgeous design, is that you can purchase a COORDINATING PUNCH! Yes, we all love to NOT have to cut these sort of images out with scissors don&#8217;t we! Oops, double negative, but I&#8217;m sure you know what I mean!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Gaye used &#8216;Twitterpated Designer Series Paper&#8217;, which I haven&#8217;t covered yet but that is super gorgeous, whilst Alice used a striking combination of Island Indigo with Real Red, and Jen made each of us am individually monogrammed card &#8211; neat idea! I&#8217;m loving card number 4 but I have no name on the back of the card, so if you are the designer, drop me an email and I&#8217;ll edit this post.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If you would like to know how to make any of these cards, receive your own copy of the NEW Autumn Winter Mini Catalogue, Book a Workshop or Purchase Product; please contact your Paper Angels Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator who sent you this link, or if I am your demonstrator or you would like to find a demonstrator who can help you, please contact me on 0448 896 001 or email <a href="mailto:liz@craftclassroom.com" target="_blank">liz@craftclassroom.com</a></p>
