WOW - Thank you from the bottom of my .....

I never in my wildest dreams expected the great response that we have had already in just the first 72 hours! We have had over 1100 hits to this blog and everyone seems as excited as we are!

So, I guess that it is time to share just a little more information!

THIS BLOG WILL GO ***LIVE***

ON 1ST APRIL 2009!

And no, that isn't an April Fool's Day joke!

There will be an update everyday for the first three days of April sharing lots more information about each idea that we have planned and want to share with you.

There will also be full details posted on 1st April to find out how you can join us and become part of our weekly Challenge Design Team - I'm so glad that many of you are asking how you can get involved already :)

Anyway, we thought that we would share a little bit more information about ourselves so you know who you are dealing with LOL!

Hello - I am Natalie O'Shea.

I discovered card making about 12 years ago when I was sent a very simple card by a neighbour that I fell in love with. She told me how she had made it, I went looking on the internet and found a different world!

Six years on from that, I discovered scrapbooking when I was to teach some classes on it and thought that I had better find out what it was!

Continuing on, I found a passion for learning to better my photography skills and have now ended up with a passion for Stampin' Up! products. Despite having spent £1000's of pounds of craft products over the years trying to get a supply together, I really wish that I had discovered SU! earlier.

Does it get any better than knowing that ink colour will go with that peice of paper, that will go with that pen and that button and all finished off with that bit of ribbon? Now I don't need to spend three hours looking through my 200 peices of green card, only to find that I still don't have one to match what I want - those days are over - and that is why I became an active Stampin' Up! demonstrator in October 2008 and haven't looked back since - I love it!

I would say that my style is simple and classic. I pride myself on doing the "easy" stuff - everyone can do the things that I do, it's just a matter of being shown and that is what I aim to do and share with you!

I love that you want to come along for the ride - THANK YOU!! I am really looking forward to sharing this Creative Journey with you!

Have fun!
