There are lots of Easter Eggs

in the projects this week.  Isn't it shame we can't just pluck them off the screen and eat them.  My boys would be in raptures if that was the case.  

I hope you're having a fabulous Easter break with your family.

What I'm loving

about the talent on this blog is that even when I only have a couple of short time spots in my week to find the picks to show you it is so easy to find projects that catch my eye.  Thanks ladies for making things easy during my super busy week.

Change over Week

This week we see a lot of cards using Sale A Bration/Summer Mini sets which finish on Thursday 31st March.  Contact your demonstrator if you still have orders to go in from the Summer Mini and to get your free Sale A Bration sets.  If you're all done with those be watching the Stampin' Up!® website on the 1st April for the new Autumn/Winter Mini catalogue.  See if you can pick the card that uses product to be released in the new catalogue.

Here you go

another selection of fantastic cards from our demonstrator team this week.

I attended Stampin' Up!® regional training in Wellington yesterday and found out about some great techniques and new ways of using Stampin' Up!® products.  With training happening right around the country I expect we'll be seeing some fantastic new designs on the demonstrator's blogs in the next few weeks.

I hope something here gives you inspiration for your crafting needs this week.

Autumn has arrived

and I'm sure that the weather got instantly colder.  Perfect weather for staying inside and working on all our papercraft projects.  If you like autumny colours then there's sure to be lots of inspiration outside your window soon.

Here's some inspiration for your projects: -

Don't forget to click on the links to the right to see more fantastic artworks.  It's a hard job only choosing nine and I wouldn't want you to miss out on the others.

What a fantastic assortment

of creations this week.

Where possible I'm trying to give all the listed demonstrators a turn in the collage with different Stamp Artists being featured each week.  If you make it two weeks in a row you know that I really, really liked what you created.

A bit later this week

as I couldn't resist being out in the sun with my boys.

Don't just wait for me to show you what the fabulous NZ Stampin' Up!® Demonstrators have come up. Click on the links to the right and find out for yourself.  By relying on me you could be missing out on some real stunners.

Here's my picks for this week.

So Much More Inspiration this week

now that more of the New Zealand Stampin' Up!® Demonstrators are back from holiday and/or their kids are back at school.  It was a lot harder choosing this week. 

Keep the inspiration coming ladies.

Thanks Kelly for reminding me I hadn't credited the photos to the Stamp Artists.

I've had a couple of weeks to settle into this role now and I'm very interested to find out if you have ideas for making the NZSU blog easier to use, whether you have a linked blog or pop on over to find inspiration.

The Last Collage for January

Around the prepping for a return to school for the boys next week and prepping for a busy time with Sale A Bration I've managed to hop around the NZSU blogs and find my nine favourites.

While Stampin' Up!® advise that Punch Bunch has been the favourite Sale A Bration set choice so far I'm seeing a lot more 'Bliss' popping up on your blogs with two in my favourites this week.

The only small change to the blog this week is that if you click on the Stampin' Up!® logo in the top right hand corner it will now take you to the Stampin' Up!® Customer Website.

My First Post and First Collage

Hi All

I hope you like my choices this week.  Even with a lot of demonstrators still on holiday there was still a lot of creative yumminess to choose from.  I've even included projects from our two new demonstrators on the list this week Frances Poff and Rhonda Imrie.

Top L-R: - Rachael Knight, Rhonda Imrie, Deb Ryan

Middle L-R: - Helen Williams, Anita Kleinjan, Roz Begbie

While I will be following what Karen set up for the blog in the beginning I'm very open to change for the NZSU blog so any ideas you have will be gratefully accepted.

A new year & it's time for a change

Wow it's been just over a year since I took over from Trudi looking after this site but I'm finding I have less time & I personally believe a change is good as it adds a different perspective so once I get all the settings sorted out Keryn Campbell has kindly offered to be NZSU Blog's administrator for 2011. Thank you Keryn. I know I leave you in safe hands & that NZSU Blogs will continue to grow.

I wish her all the best & to all my stamping blogging friends thanks for all your support.

My apologies

I'm just to busy to blog & I certainly do need to apologies to Narelle who did our Fab 9 & I haven't had a chance to post them up for you to see.

Today is the first day of my holidays which I've actually felt like I'm rested - just as well as I'm back to work next Wednesday! I sincerely hope that everyone's Christmas celebrations are fantabulous (a  Karen word) & I know Narelle will forgive me as she is my winner for leaving 10 blog comments - when I see her next I'll hand over a roll of Baja Breezed striped grosgrain ribbon which is retired but still a SU! colour.

Once again Merry Christmas & all the very best for 2011.  I will be blog hopping around starting Monday January 10th looking for the Fab 9 picks on the NZ blogs for the week.

I'm definitely on holiday mode!

Apologies I finished work for the year on Friday but have been busy with launch parties & just also been a blob as yah I'm on holiday so here's my top picks for the week ending Friday 10th.

Narelle Hoggard has kindly offered to do the upcoming week's picks, anyone else like to have a go don't be shy do volunteer if nothing else you get to see some great looking stuff on all the blogs.

With the coming season of good will to all men I challenge everyone that uses this site as their starting place for blog hopping to leave comments on 10 blogs from NZ that are listed here - when you have left 10 comments leave a comment below & we'll have a wee draw of something I've got that has retired. This will close on Friday 17th and I'll announce the winner with Narelle's picks!
