ESAD Autumn/Winter Mini Blog Hop

Good Morning everyone!

Well it isn't just the Easter bunny that is hopping around at the minute - there is a brand new mini catalogue that has just been released for autumn/winter and there is nothing mini about it! It contains so many wonderful items that this blog hop will be only showcasing a few of the items, so sit back, relax and I hope you’re ready for the ESAD Blog Hop! Better go grab yourself a cuppa as you’ll be hopping for a while!

What is ESAD you say?

ESAD stands for Extra Special Australian (and New Zealand) Demonstrators and it is an online group just for Australian and New Zealand demonstrators for Stampin’ Up!

We so love what we do and not only do we love to share it with our customers, friends and wonderful blog visitors but we share our love for what we do with each other as Demonstrators. We run swaps, challenges, tutorials, product know how and cyberstamps and we are always there to help and support each other when its needed.

So if you are a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator located in Australia or New Zealand then please feel free to click here to join our wonderful group.

If you are following the blog hop you should have come from Angela Purdie and if you leave comments along the way you could be in the running to win some blog candy......but not to worry if you don't win this time as there will be another ESAD blog hop next week! I have made four cards using the super new XL two step bird punch - not only does it have a sleek new design for compact storage, but it is so versatile I love it!
