3D Templates

Good morning everyone!

Another morning where I should be getting organised and instead I'm here blog hopping once again!
I happened to 'hop' onto this site and the wonderful Shelley has a 3D Inspiration Index where you can find instructions and templates for all her 3D items.

Enjoy!

Trudi's Layout

Here's a layout that I managed to complete tonight.  For the recipe and details check out my blog - Made By Me.

Bella 3mths 8x8

Inspiration - Alana's Angel

I really should be tidying the house and getting organised for the day, but instead I'm still in my PJs and dressing gown (of which I've been hinting frequently is literally falling apart and a new one for Christmas would be fantastic) and blog hopping.  I had to share Alana's angel with you.  I've ummed and arrhed over this set many times and haven't taken the plunge to get it  -maybe now...

Alana is a very talented Aussie demo.  Check out her blog HERE.

Tracey's Layout

Here's Tracey's layout, for a close up shot of the flower checkout her blog Stamping All Seasons.  Tracey's used DSP from the new Summer Mini (out from the 1st December).  The papers in the new mini are gorgeous!  What's Nic going to think when she finds out she's been posted on two blogs??

Louise's Scrapping Challenge



This is my 12x12 layout of my littlest boys first car.

At the moment my SU only blog is unavailable, however I will be posting my SU creations on my other blog www.louisestoo.blogspot.com

New Email Address

Hi I hope everyone has enjoyed the beautiful weather this weekend.

Just letting you all know that I've created a separate email address for this blog.

The new address is nzsublog@xtra.co.nz and is accessable to all the admins. So if you want to enter challenges, have pics posted or to nominate blogs for Inspiration or Blog of the Week or just to contact us please email us at the new address.

The old addresses still work so don't stress (if anyone is confused about the email addresses don't worry I think I've got three but they all work and I do get your emails)

Thanks
Trudi

Angela's Christmas Challenge

Angela has made these very cute boxes.  Just one question Angela, how do you get your bows looking so good?  Mine always come out lopsided.

Welcome

Hi everyone,

We've had a quite a few demo's starting blogs recently so I thought i'd say welcome to NZSU to all of you.  Thank you for sharing your creative talent with us all.

Just a couple of notes on how this blog runs.

Challenges don't have a set closing date.  If you feel inspired to enter into a challenge you can email me or Louise a pic or link at anytime and we'll post it.  Unfortunately because life gets busy with children and work and workshops and stamping etc...  Challenges are rather random - there's no Colour Challenge Monday, Skectch Challenge Tuesday etc...  Anyone can enter a challenge, demo's and customers and you don't have to have a blog to enter.

We welcome your feedback, if you have any suggestions or ideas, please don't hesitate to let us know.  Also if you think a blog or project has inspired you, you can nominate it as a 'Blog of the Week' or 'Inspiration', just email us the details.

Thank you to everyone for supporting this blog, it's been great watching it grow and seeing everyone develop their stamping talent over the year!

Your NZSU admins, Trudi, Louise & Sarah (does anyone know how Sarah is?  We haven't heard from her in a while.  Sarah I hope everything is OK.)
