Thank you for Disney

disney

Thank you Stampin’ Up! and my wonderful customers and friends for this great opportunity for a FREE trip to Disney next year. 

It was just confirmed today that I have indeed earned this trip in 2012.  Joel has already informed me that he is not going so I’m planning to take Malachi in his place.

If it’s affordable, I’ll take the girls as well.  But I’m very excited and looking forward to hearing where the next trip is to!

Thank you for MS fundraiser

I just wanted to say thank you to all of you who have participated either in the stamping event or by donating!  We have raised over $400 with this event (that’s just the stamping part!).

I feel it’s been a terrific success and I just can’t thank you all enough.  Well, I thought I’d post some more fun ideas, how’s that sound?

These cards were done by Connie Heisey at her meeting on Thursday night.

I think this card  is just beautiful. 

Tips: The green leaves are stamped on Whisper ‘White, then the pink flowers are embossed on a piece of vellum and layered over top.  Isn’t it a stunning look?  That’s the new melon mambo embossing powder.

Here’s one using the hello again stamp…

Great way to use the Hello stamp from the mini catalog in a way that doesn’t have to say ‘hello’. 

Tips: this card uses the itty bitty punch set, Here’s one using the “hello”….

New In-colors

Love, Love, Love these new colors. This was one of our cruise projects.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

IMG_5668

Another cruise project: This Mini Photo album is made from 1 whole sheet of 12X12.  It’s an amazing and tricky little thing.  Here, let me show you how.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is my design for a convention swap in a few weeks.  I only have to make 10 of this 12X12 layout and I’m almost finished!  Just have the pinwheels to make yet.  You’ll probably see this layout in an upcoming scrap class!  This is made with some of our new in-colors and our new pennant stamp set as well as a stamp set that we got on the cruise—sweets for the sweet.

RAK’s

IMG_5876

I received this gorgeous card (stamps from the new catalog) from Stampin’ Up’s Event Planning team to thank “me’ for going on the cruise that Stampin’ Up! gave us.  Wow, how beautiful and totally random!  Thank you Stampin’ Up! for all that you do for us.

Oh, I’m glad you asked Debbie!  This is a new background stamp—they stamped it in white ink, then cut it into 3 sections and layered them.

Accessories that I’m sad to say goodbye to

Just this week, i realized that there were some things going out that I hadn’t caught earlier.  I am in shock about several of these favorites and worried that maybe you missed them too. 

These are in order of my favorites!

swirly

If you have the Big Shot or hope to get one soon, you need this!  I have used this as most of you know for anything from cards to scrapbooks and can’t imagine life without it!

119872L Wow, another shocker.  I thought this punch would be around forever.  Almost all spiral notebooks fit this punch and make it easy to decorate the front and pop that decorative paper right into the spiral binding.  But even more so, it’s a great accent on a card or scrap page.

Saying Goodbye to Old “Friends”

Don’t miss a chance this month to come and play with some of mine and maybe your favorite stamps and accessories.  See the dates below when you can join us.  The first 3 cards are the cards that we’ll make at each class.  The 4th card is the card that you ‘earn’ when you either order $50 of product or bring a friend to class.  So, get calling your friends ladies!  Make sure everyone has the chance to get these great products before they are gone forever.

For those of you who want to place your orders ahead of class (so as to not miss out on any discontinuing accessories), I will list the products used on these cards that are being discontinued.
