Lots of colours here but I wanted to use the new In-colors specifically Sweet Sugarplum, Dapper Denim and Peekaboo Peach and my old favourite Mint Macaron too.
This has been used to top a notebook, everyone needs a pretty notebook don't you think!

My youngest had respiratory difficulties and was admitted to hospital at the beginning of the week and after 2 nights on oxygen and lots of steroid treatment we finally got home on Wednesday evening. Her treatment continues while we wean down the steroids and attempt to get back to normality.
Luckily things were improved enough for me to still run a class at a local community building for a small group wanting to have a dabble with Project Life on Friday evening.
Only one of the ladies was familiar with Project Life, but they all embraced the concept and created a lovely first page using the Hello Lovely Stampin Up PL Card Collection and Accessory Pack. We also looked at the versatility of the cards and elements for card making and Mini books.
I personally love this collection it's so sophisticated and stylish . The floral patterns and fonts lend themselves to so many occasions and the palette of soft blue, greens, oranges and black and white it's a classic timeless and elegant backdrop for your photos.
Here I've used this collection to create a sample page used for the evening as a jumping off point for the PL newbies. A great Friday night a glass of wine some lovely company looking through photos of moments to treasure and using Project Life to celebrate the memories.

Then today I attended a lovely local Crop in Little Stoke for the first time. It's run by two lovely Sisters and I got to demonstrate a couple of Stamping Techniques for them and leave a few Catalogues for them to peruse. Hopefully by the time I left the idea of Stamping was a lot less scary than before, so mission accomplished!!
I really nice creative and happy end to a week that did not begin too well.

I have wanted to enter some challenges for a long time, I really enjoy looking around at how others interpret the card layouts or use the colours in a colour challenge. Well I decided to just stop thinking about it and just do it! That's my goal at the moment, to remove the obstacles whether they are in my head or time related (we all know life just gets in the way at times!) and <b><u><span style="color: #351c75;">just do it!</span></u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I don't make enough masculine cards, it's something that many of my card making friends say too, so when I saw the colours in this <a href="http://colourq.blogspot.co.uk/2016/06/colourq-challenge-346.html">ColourQ</a> challenge I knew that was the one I would begin with, not least because I was desperate to use the new Stylised Birthday stamp from Stampin Up. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-vNElSB-za30/V2EQfLbHvjI/AAAAAAABEqM/e4_TquCXdZY_dBpUqDFy1_g-ZMRSCSzlwCLcB/s400/CQC_346.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-vNElSB-za30/V2EQfLbHvjI/AAAAAAABEqM/e4_TquCXdZY_dBpUqDFy1_g-ZMRSCSzlwCLcB/s320/CQC_346.jpg" width="241" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As soon as i saw the new catalogue I knew that this stamp would be an invaluable addition, it's such a scene stealer and I have to say it didn't disappoint, I love the font and the scale of this stamp so much!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-mk5xAMZhUMg/V2bvKc7UTOI/AAAAAAAAAzA/5HSURfcIVmgiqCqQgoJexDzMoscSpQmDgCLcB/s1600/SU%2BHappy%2BBirthday%2BCard.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-mk5xAMZhUMg/V2bvKc7UTOI/AAAAAAAAAzA/5HSURfcIVmgiqCqQgoJexDzMoscSpQmDgCLcB/s320/SU%2BHappy%2BBirthday%2BCard.jpg" width="266" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I teamed it with the very useable cake image from Endless Birthday Wishes, which happens to be another favourite of mine for both male, female and kiddie Birthdays, and again the fonts on that set are so awesome with the lovely swirly handwritten look teamed with the tiny type written stamps.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The Basic Grey came from the Designer Series Paper Stack and the inkpad used with an aqua painter to add colour to the cake stand and I threw in the Glitter Paper too to just bling it up a tad. I hope that was allowed??!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I will definitely be partaking in more challenges now I've got started and I know what a great inspiration they can be.</div>

It's designs are as is usual with SU DSP some are bold and colourful some are mutes and subtly patterned. The floral designs match the lovely Love & Affection stamp set and there is a new set of 2 embossing folders and a bundle of gorgeous Washi Tape that matches too, making a beautiful product suite that makes creating a breeze.<br />
<br />
Here are a few cards that I made that show off the paper in all it's glory. I think I may well have found the DSP that breaks me of my hoarding tendencies........................<br />

It has one of the other things I love too - SPOTS not just any type of Spots but GOLD spots. Love, love, love this DSP.<br />
<br />
I decided to try and recreate a mini book I had made some years ago at a class at the NEC Craft Show . I measured and upscaled slightly and here is how it turned out. It's waiting for some photos that I would like printed black and white as I feel they would look nicer in this cute little album.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-uJ4rcUrzyTw/Vz8UabtGYwI/AAAAAAAAAyE/43kEzJdVQjcq3gc3Z4tQ57VSFzVhICfuQCKgB/s1600/IMG_0496.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="304" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-uJ4rcUrzyTw/Vz8UabtGYwI/AAAAAAAAAyE/43kEzJdVQjcq3gc3Z4tQ57VSFzVhICfuQCKgB/s320/IMG_0496.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Would you like a peek inside? It has 12 places to pop a photo, so for a small 3x3 inch album it can hold quite a few pictures.<br />

I am planning to teach this at a class soon, perhaps in the Affectionately Yours DSP which has some lovely florals and some subtle patterns and a lovely pop of Metallic Copper teamed with Night of Navy, Watermelon Wonder, Mint Macaron and Crumb Cake. It will be a little less girly than this one.</div>

<br />
Here is one of my very favourite <i><b>go to</b></i> stamp sets which I'm glad to say is staying - Endless Birthday Wishes teamed with the soon to be gone Fun Frames Embossing Folders and my most loved and definitely hoarded far too much paper stack It's My Party.<br />

Dry embossing is such a simple yet effective technique and I have to say it makes such a difference to a card. It certainly put the WOW into these simple designs. I will really miss these handy little frames! And I seriously need to be getting into that paper stack and chop, chop, chop it and show it the love it deserves!!<br />

She even included a matching covered notebook and lovely pen. I was super excited as I am a stationery fiend!! Yes you heard it right, you can forget the Shoes and Handbags you will find me in the Stationery shops looking at the notebooks, pens, picture frames and eyeing up the gift wrapping.<br />

Isn't it gorgeous? I am so very lucky to be in Kerry's Team she is a total inspiration and so supportive of us all, doing Stampin' Up! our way with her cheering us on!<br />
<br />
Kerry has done so very well herself with doing it her way that she is about to leave on the 2016 Incentive Trip a Mediterranean Cruise and she will be on the seas with other super duper demos from all over the world. I know that Stampin' Up! will give them an amazing trip and i cannot wait to hear about her adventures when she returns.<br />

Now I have attended many Stampin' Up events over the last 4 years of being a Demonstrator but the new On Stage format is a Global event and all SU Demonstrators get together across all markets at the same time. The idea is that the dates coincide with a new Catalogue launch, and this one was the new 2016/17 big book and WOW!, definitely the best one yet!!!!!<br />
<br />
I travelled with my very good friend and downline Lynne to Telford on the Friday, traffic was, well interesting to say the least.......! It took us a while but the excitement and anticipation helped us, this was Lynne's first SU company event and she was really looking forward to finding out about how Su do an event after signing up during Sale-a-Bration. The hotel was next door to the Convention Centre and we quickly checked in had an obligatory cuppa and headed out for dinner, which was delish.<br />
<br />
Back to the Hotel stick the labels on my swaps (last minute again!!) you would think I would know by now.....! Then bed for a 6:30am alarm!<br />
<br />
Here's my swaps inspired and totally Cased from the wonderful <a href="http://barbaras-kreativ-studio.blogspot.co.uk/2015/03/artisan-mar-2.html"><b>Barbara Meyer</b></a> a Stampin' Up! Artisan and clear to see why, I love her projects, I'm in awe of her talent. Click the link yo go to her blog post and get the instructions to duplicate this project.<br />

When it comes to creating a large amount of swaps I'm easily bored and so I like to change themes and colours so I did three versions, first was Sahara Sand featuring the Butterfly Basics Stamp set and a pop of Watermelon Wonder, here it is in this colour way.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The second colour way was Blushing Bride paired with Pool Party and the Blessed by God Stamp set for a Wedding Favour look.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And the third and final version was in Soft Sky paired with Mint Macaron using the Made with Love Stamp set for a Baby Shower maybe?</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
All of them contained a yummy chocolate treat inside. I chose Hershey's Kisses a mix of Almond, Milk Chocolate and Cookies and Cream, which you can find in standard size packs at larger ASDA stores in the UK and also in bulk packs on Amazon.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The day was amazing, I received some beautiful swaps in return for my little treats, did lots of catching up with friends, meeting people that I have admired from afar via their blogs and Pinterest, seeing inspiring demonstrations by amazing (and funny) demos, video feed from Salt Lake City Utah that was inspirational and emotional. Just being with everyone and sharing our love of creativity and this wonderful company is wonderful and i am so grateful to be a part of it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And best of all we met the new In-Colours and got our hands on the fantastic new Catalogue.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We were told to sit on them at one point as we were all too busy perusing to listen to the presentation. This is what happens when when you fall in love with Stamps, Paper and Ink and work with the best in the industry, we were like Charlie let loose in the Chocolate Factory........</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I will share the beautiful team gift from my amazing Friend and Upline Kerry Timms next..............</div>

We are well into the build up for Christmas here, today we welcomed a new friend into the house, his name is Prancer and you guessed it he is Olivia's Reindeer from Build-a-Bear! She has waited three long years to own a reindeer, each year one appears on her Christmas List and each year we whispered to Santa that she has way too many soft toys. At the third time of asking we agreed that she really was committed to having one and so she saved up her good work tokens and finally got enough tokens yesterday, but was sent home poorly from school and was super disappointed. But today we made it to the Build-a-Bear shop and she was a very happy girl as she brought Prancer to life. He was introduced to all the other soft friends on arriving home and seemed a bit exhausted so he is now snuggled up in bed with her. Good luck Prancer you are so going to need it..........!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Here are Olivia's Christmas cards waiting to be written and sent to friends and family, a bit behind with these! She created them at school and they had them printed by a company called Cauliflower Cards, very cute! She is far more artistic than me, she loves telling everyone that Mum can't even draw a stick man!</div>

We have the Panto booked this week and it has become a bit of a tradition although we usually see it on Christmas Eve this year we are going the day before. We will be heading to Bath on the train and catching the Matinee performance, it's such a beautiful theatre.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Have you wrapped up your gifts yet? That's my big plan for tomorrow! The time is flying it will soon be Christmas.............</div>

<br />
The concept is one that makes me warm and gooey about holding on to the anticipation and the happiness that Christmas brings. A photo and a thought each day from a prompt that arrives in my inbox. From the lovely Christmas displays in the shops and in the homes we visit to the novelty holiday takeaway cups at Costa Coffee, there are some amazing things to photograph and document during the Holiday Season, with or without prompts.<br />
<br />
I will admit that my love for Christmas was wearing a bit thin when I decide to give this challenge a go the first time, and although I did struggle a little to keep up and on a few days admitted defeat, I gained a renewed enthusiasm for all that Christmas can be if you look a little deeper. It suggested we remember our old family traditions, these were stored way back in my mind from my childhood (well it was along time ago!). It encouraged me to look with different eyes at the small things that make Christmas both special, fun and unique in our home. <br />
<br />
Olivia is now 9 and a very big Christmas fan, her list was written some time ago and her enthusiasm for all that the season brings is so important to document, as I know only too well that this will be a an all too short period in her young life. The time will come where she won't want to visit Santa and see the Christmas lights and choose a new decoration for the tree each year. It makes me sad to think of this but I will have all of the memories recorded and I will look back and I'm sure I will get teary, I am way to soppy!<br />
<br />
I really think that it is the best month of the year, yes it's hectic, it's crowded and a tad stressful at times, yes my oven is never big enough to cook a Christmas dinner without me cursing slightly under my breath, however we see family, we eat together, we play board games, some of us cheat! We laugh, and hug more, and I want to capture as much of these wonderful memories as I can.<br />

<br />
This album was probably my most successful with regards completion and the reason was that we went here, Disneyland Paris and captured some of the best memories ever! We arrived home on December 23rd and all the food shopping to do, arrrggghhhh it was chaos, but so, so worth it!<br />
<br />
This year I will use my Project Life goodies to document my December more quickly, it will help me to stay on top of my prompts each day and I am determined this year with my PL album to simplify things and get it finished and make it my most successful Journal Your Christmas ever..................!<br />
<br />
If you would like to make an album of your Christmas or all of December then Project life from Stampin' Up! is just the tool you need. If you would like some ideas of the sorts of things to document in this type of album I'm happy to provide a list of ideas, just leave me a comment.<br />

The Christmas trees are up at the shopping centres and the Christmas tunes are playing on a loop, and it's certainly not too early to get your Christmas Crafting on...........! I have the awesome Stampin' Up! Autumn/Winter catalogue on my crafting desk and with so many great products, I have been finding it easy to create Cards and Papercrafts for the Holiday Season.<br />
<br />
Today I attended a lovely Christmas Craft Fare locally with my Stampin' Up! goodies to show off the potential of what can be achieved with Paper & Ink. I chatted to some lovely people and hope to see some of them for some crafting soon. Check back for my new class list.<br />

All those things that may have been on the wish list and are now about to disappear, but available discounted.<br />
WARNING!!! the retired list sells fast and with Punches and Designer Series Paper at 50% off it would be rude not to.<br />

I'm hoping to start a regular Cheswick Craft Group and thought that those unsure what that might entail might like to come and see what kind of fun awaits.........<br />

To help you get your £45 spend then this has to be the most fab bargain and my most favourite Stampin' Up! tool and its on weekly deals until end of Tuesday 31st March. Usual price<b> £17.95</b> offer price<b> £13.46 AWESOME! </b>We used this great tool at the Dabble Day to make that cute little Easter Box and it also makes treat pouches, little file folders you can make crackers with it, oh and as the name suggests it makes fab envelopes to fit a multitude of card sizes in both metric and imperial measurements. Anyone who buys one of these with me will receive a little booklet of ideas to create some great projects or if you live close to me a one to one lesson making the projects. I am so convinced you will love it.</div>

This design was a case of a card by the 'oh so talented' Mercedes Weber. So pretty don't you think, simple but with a wow.<br />
<br />
<br />
And below an envelope album again really easy to put together. I feel that this would make a good class. And this is just featuring one of the 3 pretty Framelit dies, another being intricate and slightly larger than this one I've featured the third coordinating with a stamp from the Butterflies Basics stamp set again available from the Spring/Summer.<br />

The beautiful Painted Petals stamp set from the Spring/Summer seasonal catalogue - One of my favourite new sets and in pretty, fresh and bright colours there is a very different look to the box with a monochromatic colour scheme looking very vintage. Soft Suede and Early Espresso with Crumb Cake Seam Binding Ribbon. I made this cute box in moments with the amazing Gift Box Punch Board from a piece of card stock 8x8 inches.<br />

Heres a look at some additional SAB products added for March.<br />

Firstly Oscar arrived in September to complete his family and Big Sister Ellie and Big Brother Jack were very pleased with him indeed. Then little George arrived in October to the great pleasure of little Grace now a Big Sister. So cute both of them!<br />
<br />
Here's the card I made for little Oscar and the gift bag I decorated with a few essentials, a lovely cosy blanket & cowboy neck chief style bibs inside. All perfect for the new little man.<br />

I'm off to a Stampin' Up! event tomorrow evening and it's local to me this time so no long drive. I have been making some swaps ready to share with some of the ladies attending with me. The general agreement was that we make non Christmassy swaps, and it has been quite nice doing something other than the seasonal stuff, though I do love a bit of glitter! It's always exciting when these events come along as there's always lots of lovely new product to have a look at to get us all excited about what's to come in the New Year.</div>

<br />
Receiving a gift is such a lovely thing - receiving a handmade gift in pretty packaging raises the anticipation even before the gift is opened. I have to admit I have always been drawn to colour, pattern and pretties. A bit of sparkle will catch my eye from a few feet away. This is how many companies get us to purchase their products in the supermarket from a shelf of similar products. If it stands out from the crowd and is appealing to the eye then we buy. Visual merchandising is a big deal, and I can guarantee that if you are a person who likes to give little gifts or equally you make jewellery, key rings, soaps, lip balms, preserves, knitted or crochet items for a business, that they will look far more appealing and gift worthy packaged nicely.<br />
This does not have to involve big costs or huge amounts of time, in fact it's quick easy & fun and can reflect the recipient or your business as personalisation is simple.<br />
I am hoping to run a class at The Busy Bee Cafe, Burley Grove, Downend very soon to teach a Box Making and Packaging Class, and I'm gauging whether there will be interest in this type of class.<br />
If you would like to learn how easy it is to make items like these<br />

She turned 8 and obviously celebrated with her friends. And being 8 the Party does have to be a little more grown up now, so bowling it was - 16 children aged between 5 and 8years old, so we made these....<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Olivia has become a great help with the die cutting, she loves the Bigshot and always tells me her muscles do lots of work turning the handle. It's so nice crafting with her and her creative input sometimes surprises me. She chose the colours for the pins 'Coastal Cabana' her favourite Stampin' Up! colour. The 'You're Invited' stamp was from a little Studio G set I've had forever.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I decided to do some homemade sugar craft modelling for her cake, OMG this is a lot harder than it looks. Suffice to say my sugar crafting needs some serious practice. I am so grateful to YouTube and I take my hat off to all those that create beautiful cakes to order for themes popular and strange - you people are very talented. It is so not as easy as it looks!!!</div>

A lovely holiday to Menorca just after the School term finished followed by lots of sunny days on our return home. The first Summer in our new home and a chance to grow some things in the garden, at last we have a garden. The Sunflowers we grew from seed were incredible and grew more than 6 feet tall. It is so satisfying to grow things at last. Neil grew tomatoes and what a crop we have had, and they taste so good. All in all a fabulous Summer.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I have been making too, intermittently! Here are some creations:</div>

Character cards were made for school friends and the tag in the middle was the design I used for sprucing up the bags of some Stampin' Up! orders placed by some lovely ladies in the Summer.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
A new main catalogue has gone live and an Autumn & Winter Supplement has also launched and temptation is on every page - Some fantastic new tools, adhesives and masks lots to play with and very busy in fact I've been a bit too busy as I have moved rooms for my craft space after a bit of reorganisation and will show these pictures in a separate post. I'm settled in now so the creating can begin!! Yay!</div>

To make way for all the lovely new things in the Catalogue and these lovely colours we will be losing some lovely old friends. The retired list will be coming very shortly.<br />

<b><br /></b>
On the 17th May it was the Stampin' Up! regional event where in excess of 300 demonstrators got together celebrated achievements, shared ideas and swapped projects and cards.<br />
<br />
I do find making lots of the same thing a little boring and so I do tend to make a couple of different swaps. I tend to do some 3D swaps and then I start seeing them in my sleep I change to doing some cards, and this time was no different.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-jc6i1ITKKJM/U3p_K2jecII/AAAAAAAAAh0/wsD2J70AinQ/s1600/IMG_0018.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-jc6i1ITKKJM/U3p_K2jecII/AAAAAAAAAh0/wsD2J70AinQ/s1600/IMG_0018.jpg" height="320" width="267" /></a></div>
This is the 3D swap I did for Telford and the following photos will demonstrate how to make the little treat cup. So easy and all you need is a paper cup, plain, patterned it really is up to you.<br />
<br />

Here is the pretty pink version. Melon Mambo is such a lovely bright cheerful colour and here its teamed with Basic Black and stamped on Naturals White. A little bit of Silver Glimmer Paper to add some bling, topped off with a large Rhinestone. <br />
<br />
These little treat cups would make lovely Wedding Favours, Baby Shower Treats, Children's party treats (filled with sweets!). A masculine version would be nice - ummm perhaps that's my next one to try?!<br />
<br />
Back with some of the swaps I received.<br />

Sale-a-bration is a very special time for me as it was during this period last year that I joined the Stampin' Up! family' I will be celebrating my 1st SU Birthday later this month, and I will have an offer to accompany my little celebration! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Sale-a-bration is the time of the year when Stampin' Up! gives you more stamping love than ever...... And this year the choice of 15 free gifts with a £45 spend is fantastic. There is a choice of exclusive SAB products or a selected choice from the current annual catalogue. With a new Seasonal catalogue offering some lovely new vintage style embellishments just launched too! There's never been better rewards for buying pretty things!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Talking of SAB I love this font on the 'Thanks' stamp in the free stamp set 'Vintage Verses" Papers from free 'Sycamore Street' DSP bright, modern and colourful.</div>

If you have a look through the new Spring/Summer catalogue, I'm sure it wouldn't take too much of a push to encourage a little splurge on some pretties, and before you know it you could be choosing a SAB freebie. Each time I get to view the new offerings (we get to see the catalogues and get our hands on the products before they go live, another perk of signing up!) I think maybe at the first look that I have a few favourites, but once I see the fantastic samples on other Demos blogs and at training events, I have to confess that I am so in love with all the new products. The seasonal catalogue covers numerous events, such as Valentines, Easter, Mothers/Fathers Day and Weddings! It has been a tough call as I really have wanted it all!!</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Pool Party and Rich Razzleberry colour combo using the free 'Madison Avenue' stamp set, free 'Sycamore Street' DSP and free 'Pretty Petites' stamp set punched out with the matching 'Curly Label' punch also available for free during SAB!!</div>

Stampin' Up! has made it so easy if like me you want it all, it's an offer I wish I'd had the benefit of being offered, when I fell in love with SU products and decided that I wanted to make handcrafted things for the people in my life. As it is SU's 25th Anniversary they have an awesome offer to celebrate it - to become a Demonstrator whether just a hobby demo for the 20% product discount for yourself or if you fancy having a small business and running parties and workshops, or just to take advantage of this amazing offer, the usual price of the starter kit is £99 which contains a 'to the value of £139 spend' from the catalogue plus a business pack worth £40. But during the SAB period the starter kit value will be an added 25% of value to spend for your£99!!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Basically you have a spending spree of £162.50...........!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There is no obligation no money to return should you decide that you don't wish to take it any further after your purchase of the kit, but think about it you can have a great hobby being creative and have 20% off all you buy, or earn and work around your commitments as much or as little as you want, getting together with people and creating and sharing these lovely products! </div>
