Bio from Cindy Banks

Hi my name is Cindy, I am 38 year old, stay at home Mum, married to a wonderful man named Mark and we have two gorgeous cheeky boys Matthew and Jarrad. We live in Perth,Western Australia in the beautiful Swan Valley, which I have lived here my entire life.

About 7 years ago I discovered cardmaking and about 2 years later moved on to scrapbooking. I have taught at various scrapbooking groups and camps as well as taught cardmaking for about 2 years at a local community craft group.I stumbled across Stampin’ Up about 4 years ago through a lady I met at my kids school, she had a Stampin’ Up! catalogue from America.When she showed me the catalogue it totally blew me away and I couldn’t wait to order.

When Stampin’ Up! came to Australia I was really excited as it was now accessable. I actually didn’t consider becoming a demonstrator at first, but when I realised that I had become obsessed with it I had to join. So I started searching the internet to find a bit more about it , when I came across Stamp of Approval which is Roz Veevers website, I contacted Roz, signed up immediately and now have been a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator and part of the Southern Belles team for just over a year now.

Even though I joined as a Hobbyist I found that I couldn’t just sit back and not introduce Stampin’ Up! to my family and friends. I have found holding workshops has been very inspiring and most of all alot of fun.I really enjoy the Southern Belles group. Our team leader Roz is so encouraging and very supportive. As the group is based in Adelaide and as I live in Perth I am still able to participate with the group. It is great to see the other team members beautiful creations and here about what they are up to.

Christine Rowland's Card Picks

Card by Nicole Derendorf:

Christine says: "My first pick is this card as I love the colouring that Nicole has done over the roller stamp. It has a really nice effect. I don't really know why but this one just yells out to me."

Card by Michelle Beeby:

Christine says: "My next pick is this one. I am loving DSP at the moment and love what chelle has done with this.

Card by Christine Rowland:

Christine says: "And lastly I am going to pick my own card that I did for the pattered paper challenge. This was a piece of left over scrap that was from last years catalogue. I had done a scrapbooking page with it a couple days before and had this bit left. I love how this one ended up."

Michelle Beeby's Card Choices

Card by Sharon Griffiths:
Michelle says: "I like this card because I wouldn't of thought of putting these colours together, and I love how the pink just jumps off this card, very nice."


Card by Prue Davis:
Michelle says: "I like this card because I enjoy the subtle colours and they way they've used pattern paper as the journaling block, I think it gives a pretty look and want to try this myself.

Shirley says: "Very unusual. I like it. The strips holding the message with the fine detailing one idea I'd like to explore further .


Card by Cindy Banks:

Michelle says: "This is my favourite, it has punch art which I am addicted to and I love that you could use this for so many different occasions and for so many different ages.. You could just keep a stash of these and when you need a card, fill in the occasion, done! Love it, super cute!!."

TEAM BIO - Kay Koufalakis

I'm married with two teenage boys. As they have grown older and more independent I've found I have some spare time. My Mum and Dad came to live with us for a few months and Mum introduced me to cardmaking. We started doing the rounds of craft shops and a whole new world opened up. We found ourselves at the Morphettville craft fair one day and that's when I discovered Stampin Up!

I joined up with the Southern Belles one year ago and I have had the best time. I've made heaps of new friends and I also find that making cards when I get home from work each day helps me to relax from my very stressful job.

At the moment I'm mainly a hobbyist however I have held a few classes. I'm really plodding along to have something to do when I finish up paid work.

Meantime I love doing all the challenges and chatting to all the friends I've made. I participate in a lot of swaps with other demonstraters all around the country. Stampin Up has really opened up a new world to me and I think the products are really great. However the most enjoyable part is having fun with the other team members, getting together on stampin days, when we play with each others "toys", celebrating other team members achievments and being with them when they need support.

Card Picks from Shirley Barber

Card by Juliann Williams:

Shirley says: "First word to come to mind; Stylish. The image layered onto black card is a dramatic element, while the clip and ribbon perfect embellishments. To me, what made it stylish was the striped background strip. It just softened the tone of the card slightly."

Card by Kay Koufalakis:

Shirley says: "Crisp , clean and bold.The torn strip behind the bold greeting 'Happiness' with the dark brads was what made the message crisp and clean but the nice touch was the rub-on flower borders. This, to my taste is that which made the card . It seemed like the artist added one last flourish "

Card by Jenny Soulsby:

Shirley says: "Here the background images are well placed , the colours complimenting each other . A simple greeting on white card , with inked edge and adhered raised on front , along with the double layered flower and brad centre really lifted the card. A card for Spring!"
