Well Out with the Old, In with the New! I was as shocked as you to hear about the shake-up.  I am happy that some of my favorites are coming back and I am sad that some of my favorites are leaving.  Here are some of the new colors coming in:

Oh my Goodness!  I cannot believe that I have gotten so far behind from posting here on my blog.  The Holidays were rough this year with my Father In-law and Grandpa being gone for the first time this year.  I think I disappeared this time last year too.  Maybe I should just put my Blog on Vacation from October to May...just kidding. Currently I am getting over a bout of Tonsillitis/Strep and

Ok, In case you were wondering ...yes, my banner was made with My Digital Studio from Stampin' Up!.  I am still working on it but it features my favorite stamp set "Thoughts and Prayers".  It is so versatile!  I hope to use it to make cards for the church card ministry that I am trying to get started.  I will post tommorrow one of the many cards I have made using this set.

Here is another blast from the past.  I believe I C.A.S.E.D. this one from someones blog. If it was you let me know and I will give you your credit.  It uses retired DSP but it also uses the Butterfly die!

I'm a little behind on posting pictures so I went into my file and pulled out a couple that I have made. This one does use a current stamp set Lovely As A Tree but the DSP is retired.  I will post recipes tommorrow.

There is still time to book your Holiday Mini workshop!  There are soo many cool new stamps and accessories to choose from.  We also launched our Build-A-Bear workshops stamp/die cut line.  Talk about super cute.  Give me a call or shoot me an email and we can get your workshop in the books before the holiday season takes over.  I will have card samples from the Holiday mini posted in the next

Ok, here it is...the long awaited samples of what we will be making at the Stamp Camp.  I have a bit of tweeking to do on a few things, but as a whole I think you are going to love this Stamp Camp. I may change one of the projects, I will let you know. I did end up changing the 2nd card top row on the left.  In my mind I thought it would be neat for the little skeleton to lose a few bones, but it

Hey fellow Stampers, I have an upcoming class on October 13th at 6:30pm. It was scheduled for the 14th but my location needed the room so now it is on the 13th. I will be posting samples of the projects we will be doing later tonite. I still haven't figured out how to link a pdf on here. Maybe one of my fellow stampers/followers can elighten me. More details to come shortly.

This past Saturday my felllow demo and upline Tami C. did a little "Ladies Night Out" at Great Oaks Community Church. It was a fairly decent turnout. We demonstrated a pop-up card and the ladies were able to make a few of them and also some christmas tags with the new holiday stamps sets. I liked this idea very much and will be presenting the idea to other churches in the area. Though we were

So,Convention was a blast! I cannot remember when I had so much fun or laughed so hard! I have to say it wasn't just about learning new business techniques or making awesome cards. It was spending time with friends and fellow women/men who have the same passion as I do. Now I will admit long nights with a copius amount of alcohol may have helped in the humor department. Now I don't drink,

So, it is official. I am getting on a plane for the first time in my life and I am flying to Salt Lake City Utah to attend the 2009 Stampin' Up! Convention! WhooHoo!!! I cannot tell you how terrified and excited I am to be going. It took some convincing to my husband because he is going to have to stay home alone with our 2 year old for a whole week! If you know me, you know that I believe that

What a time of it I have had lately. Let me tell you the start of 2009 has been rough! My grandpa passed in January and then my Father In-Law just recently passed, and then my grandma was put into the hospital for her heart. I turned 35 in April and that was a big downer for me. So I have had no time or the desire to stamp. I have been really down and generally just not happy.But...things are

It is with great heart break that I have to announce my grandpa's passing. He will be missed, I loved him dearly. I will not be posting for the next couple of days so I can spend time with my family. I will come back stronger and full of fight and I cannot wait to get more cards and scrapbook pages posted. See you then.

I took some time off from Blogging and concentrated on my family for awhile. I was spending way to much time with my blog and reading all the other blogs out there. Well I'm back! It's a new year, there is hope in the air, a new day has dawned, a new president, a clean slate to start the new year with. I'll be back tomorrow with lots of updates from Stampin Up! Until then please go to my Stampin

I had a request from someone to make cards, package them and sell them. I thought, gee why didn't I think of that already, so that is what I will be doing. If you don't have time to make your own cards this year for Christmas or whatever holiday that is coming up, I will make them for you. I will package up 5 cards and 10 cards. Or if you would prefer to buy singles I can do that too. I will be

I really liked how this turned out. I didn't want this stamp set until a fellow demo Lyn showed us a really cute card she made with it and then I had to have it. I missed getting the discounted price on it but I guess I will have to live with that. Here's the Recipe:Stamp Set- Snow Swirled, Heard from the HeartCardstock-Kiwi Kiss, Chocolate Chip, Ski SlopeInk-Whisper White Craft

Hello everyone! Welcome back! I started out making this card one way and ended up going another way. I had a lovely lady mail me the Martha Stewart gooey punch and my first thought was it would make great ice cycles! I'm still working on it using vellum and crystal effects. For this card I just used crystal effects and glitter. It is really pretty in person. Great minds think alike because I had

I had someone ask me what CASED meant. Well it means...CASE (Copy And Steal/Share Everything)! The stamping/scrapbook communities do not mind if you use others designs as long as you give credit and you don't try to pass it off as your own. It takes the pressure off of you when you are having "Stampers Block".Happy Stampin & Go Burn some Rubber!

I'm on a Fall High! I love fall! The crisp breeze, the smell of burning leaves, the sound that the leaves make when you walk through them. Bon Fires and S'mores, that's what I'm talkin about! Can I get an AMEN! Anyway, here is another fall card using "A Tree for All Seasons". I used the new DSP from the Holiday mini...love it! I am lacking in sentiments so I did use a retired one but you can

Hey Stampers! Here is a cute Fall themed card using our "A Tree For All Seasons" set (located on our Dormant List) and our Fall themed DSP that will be available starting the 1st of October! It was kinda flat so I added Crystal Effects to the leaves after they had been colored.

Snowman Soup is what inspired me to make this cute little guy! I decided to go a different route and use chicken noodle soup instead of cocoa. I changed the standard poem just a little bit. I stamped the images (masking and all) I'm still not sure if I like the final product or not. I may keep working on him.

Here is the card I made for a Card Swap. I masked the images, colored and filled in with markers. Isn't it the cutest? I am going to post later how I also used the same design to make Snowman Soup bag toppers. Talk about cute. It was rather time consuming, but the Snowman soup is going to be stocking stuffers for my family so it was well worth it. I took all of my supplies with me to Missouri so

I love the butterfly in this set. To be honest it is the only reason I got the set. I used the scallop border punch which I absolutely love and I gave the wings a little bling with Dazzling Diamonds. I gave this card to my SIL for her Wedding Anniversary. Here is the recipe:Stamp Sets- Dreams du Jour Paper- Pink Piroette, Kiwi Kiss, DSP Pretty In Pink (retired), Whisper White cardstock Ink-

I have been working on my rummage sale items and have been making goodies with my favorite set of all time "I Like It A Latte" I came across this layout on Spiltcoast and I had to C.A.S.E. it.

Hello Happy Stampers! I have been working on getting a blog up and running for quite some time now. Tonight during the tornado warnings I finished it up. I debated on what to save first if a tornado were to have touched down and I gotta say, I wondered how I would collect all my Stampin Up! supplies and keep them safe with me and the girls..oh and hubby. There is going to be so much
