We have a great team forum, Business Building Club and heaps of support from like minded demonstrators. Our blog hop is a monthly event which happens on the last day of every month.
You may have just come from Di Dunk's blog, but if you are starting here, don’t worry, you can make the complete journey just by following the links at the end of each post.
There are 14 stops along the way and we hope you will visit each one to see the wonderful creations we have to show you! If you leave a comment on each and every blog and then email Nikki Sadler, your name will be put into the hat to win some beautiful blog candy.
There is a deadline of 72 hours to leave your comments and only non SU demos are eligible to win - although we'd love all visitors to leave some comments please. The deadline for leaving comments is the 3rd of April (6.00am).
So for our April tour we decided to use products from our next AMAZING Autumn/Winter mini catalogue, due to be released on the 1st of April. At the end of each post there will be a link to take you to the next stop on the tour.
It would be fantastic if you could leave a comment on each blog!
So grab a cuppa, and let's set off on what I know will be an inspirational journey!
There was no question as to what stamp set I would be using for this hop. It was my daughter's 5th Birthday a week ago, and I used the new Pony Party set to make her very pink invitations and birthday card. Charlotte is very fond of my little ponies, and this set suits her in every way. What little girl doesn't like ponies. I hope you enjoy my pony invitation with matching birthday card.
I love the look that the crystal effects had on the ponies mane. It just gave it that final touch.
I chose these colours for the mane and tail as it was a very close match to Charlotte's favourite My Little Pony.
INKS: Pixie Pink, Staz-On Black
MARKERS: Pixie Pink, YoYo Yellow, Apricot Appeal, Blush Blossom
CARD STOCK: Pixie Pink, Whisper White
STAMP SETS: Pony Party, Introducing
ACCESSORIES: White Gel Pen, Snail Adhesive, Sponge Daubers, Crystal effects
Now onto the card.
This was my first attempt at the Circle Scissors. I am proud to say I got it right the first time (each and every time after that is a different story though lol). I love how I was able to transfer this pony into a beautiful unicorn with dazzling wings.
INKS: Pink Passion, Staz-On Black
MARKERS: Pixie Pink, Pretty in Pink, Regal Rose, Lavender Lace
CARD STOCK: Pretty in Pink, Whisper White
STAMP SETS: Pony Party, Sincere Salutations
ACCESSORIES: Circle Scissors, 2-Way Glue Pen, Dazzling Diamonds Glitter, Snail Adhesive
Well, that's all from me. Thank you for looking. Now you're off to enjoy the stunning creations of my beautiful friend and fellow stamper Christine Blain who is another Melbourne based demonstrator.
See you next time xx
My Hannah loves the pony too. The crystal effects looks great on the mane and tail and I LOVE the sparkly unicorn wings. Just gorgeous Kristine.

So very cute, although I'm feeling a little sorry for the mothers of the little girls who get those invitation. I can already hear them panicking about how on earth they're going to top those for their little one's invitations! hehe

As far as we can discern, the sole purpose of human existence is to kindle a light of meaning in the darkness of mere being.
