Not a lot of creating happening here at the moment. I have been stuck on the computer instead. My MIL is an ex Tupperware demonstrator and is getting rid of loads and I mean loads of Tupperware. I have only list a 1/3 or so on ebay so far. My user id is ROS780 if anyone is interested in Tupperware. She was a demonstrator approx. 2000-2001 so if there is any product you are after particulary, contact me to see if it is in her stash.
Other than that, I have also opened up my own Made It store. I am selling off some of my older card samples and other goodies. Drop by to see what is for sale.
I'll be back with some creations tomorrow. The kids are in school and childcare and I plan on doing nothing much other than crafting!

Just a quick no photo layout I did of Drew when he decided to go and pick up his brother and cousin from school by himself...
Journaling reads:
I left home this afternoon to pick up Callum and Josh from school. Before leaving, I woke Nat up and told him I was taking Nikki with me and the others were staying home with him. After dropping Callum at his house, I had begun to drive home when I saw a small boy on the side of Arlene Drive who looked very much like Drew. After beeping the horn, stopping the car and yelling "Get in the car!" I drove off towards home, furious. (I had locked the house before leaving and Drew had taken the spare keys and opened the door. Thankfully Bella had stayed inside.) On arriving home I asked Drew where he was going and his response was
"Going to school (to pick up the boys)".

I had no actual thought process before I begun this card hence the green background for the sky. So now I have that out of the way I will babble on about the rest of the card... LOL
This card I think will have to be sent to my brother... It say "his name" all over it! He spends the summer months water skiing, kneeboarding or wake boarding and is very much a "mate" type of person... So Mandy or Warren, you haven't seen this! Okay!!!
On the backside of the card I will be putting a message and a photo of my kids (most likely) as I don't usually make Christmas cards for family they get decorations with photos on them instead.
Materials list: (All Stampin' Up! materials used)

Recently I was asked the differences between the scallop and eyelet border punches. As the customer asking had an e-mail address I quickly whipped up this sample to show her. I thought my readers might like to see the differences between the two as I think it shows up better in my photo than in the catalogue.
The scallop border punch is the one of the left and the eyelet border punch is on the right. Both punches are $30.95. There is a trick to using the punches. When you begin punching your cardstock, line the cardstock so that it has even space on both the left and right sides using the measurement guides. This is so when you have finished you will end up with scallops even at both ends.
I hope this has helped others.
