Hi all, just a quick few words before I move onto the blog hop. This is my final day of my 7 days of Autumn/Winter mini catalogue creations and it so happens to have coincided with the ESAD blog hop! Lucky me!!! :D
Welcome to the ESAD autumn/winter mini blog hop! As normal with blog hops, this will be a longer post than normal. Remember to grab your drinks and get comfy before you start traveling round and round from blog to blog.
What is ESAD? ESAD stands for Extra Special Australian (and New Zealand) Demonstrators and it is an online group just for Australian and New Zealand demonstrators for Stampin’ Up! We so love what we do and not only do we love to share it with our customers, friends and wonderful blog visitors but we share our love for what we do with each other as Demonstrators.
If you are a Stampin' Up! demonstrator located in Australia or New Zealand, please feel free to click here to join our wonderful group.
Just before I share my project with you I also want you to know that if you do make it around to all 25 Blogs involved in today’s Blog Hop and if you comment on each one, you are in the running for some Extra Special Blog Candy. The demonstrators from all over have donated blog candy for this blog hop and if you are the lucky winner you’ll be getting all sorts of parcels. If you comment on all the blogs, drop Leonie an e-mail at [email protected] letting her know that you commented on all the blogs to go into the draw for the ‘extra special’ blog candy. Also, just wanting to let you know, this blog hop there will be blog candy for both Australian and New Zealand commenter's (demonstrators not included).
You've just come from Richelle Fletcher's blog. Now that I have got all the info out of the way, time for show and tell! How cute is this little pillow box? I can see myself making many of these, maybe even as wedding favours for the wedding I am designing invites for as I type.... Could also be used as a mini lolly bag for the kids at school. Ohhh, all the ideas! Today, I've used it as a little pocket holder of tags for gifts. Who would like to receive something as sweet as this to use on presents?
