Update

2010-02-03T17:15:00.002-05:00

So, where have I been? Well, some of you may know that for the past couple of months I have been taking care of my sick mother. She was dying from cancer and that along with 3 children has consumed my life. My mother passed away on January 5, 2010. It was a peaceful blessing and I now hope to focus more on my business and my blog. So for those of you who have been following or just checking to see if there have been any updates, thank you SO much for sticking around. I'm hoping to get some pictures taken and uploaded soon. Happy stamping!!

Stamp Club

2009-09-18T16:40:00.001-04:00

Had a great time at club last night gals. Just wanted to remind you that we'll be stamping/scrapbooking just for the heck of it the 1st Thursday of every month at Fran's house (thanks Fran). So, with all the stuff we order, we can now use it up. Hope to see you all there. Our first scrap/stampfest is on October 1st at 7 p.m. See you all there.

This is using the new Just Beclause set available in the holiday mini. I watercolored in the santa using SU's watercolor pencils and a blender pen. I rolled on the background texture using old olive. Also used is the new night and day (I think that's what it's called) papers also available in the holiday mini. I did a video making this card if you are interested in checking it out. It is the post above this one. Have a great day and happy stampin'!!

Stamping Technique Tip #3

Where have I been?

2009-08-21T16:23:00.002-04:00

LOL, well as I (think) I said in a previous post I have been busy working on moving into my mom's house as well as dealing with a TON of construction also keeping 3 busy kids occupied and taking care of my sick mother. I know I've been very neglective of my blog and I'm sorry. I do have some new projects to share but need to edit them first and then I will be able to post them. Our club group did a fun project the other night (which I got from Angie Juda, another demonstrator) and I will post the instructions as well as pictures of that project. In the meantime, enjoy Part 1 of my 'NEW' scrapbook room tour. I just LOVE my new room. It's so bright, cheery and inviting. Hopefully that will make me be more productive. :)

Stamping/scrapbook room Part 1

Small update

2009-06-12T09:13:00.002-04:00

Just wanted to let you all know that I didn't drop off of the face of the earth. I've been so busy lately. We are trying to move in with my mother who is sick and we have a lot of construction going on. I have not had any time in my stamping room to create. I'm also in the process of getting a NEW scrapbook/stamp room which I will post as soon as it is done. I'm getting cabinets and a drafting table in a room of my own!! That will be a process for me b/c I want to make sure that I organize everything how it will work and flow for me. I can't wait. The room is supposed to be done this weekend!!! Then Jeff and I can paint and start putting in cabinets and start moving in maybe next week!!! I can't even begin to tell you how excited I am about this. So, that's what I've been up to lately. I will begin to post again soon as well as do more videos when I get all settled in. Times are just crazy now. Thanks for sticking with me.

Computer issues

2009-05-19T06:54:00.002-04:00

I'm so sorry I haven't updated recently, I have been having some serious computer issues (like it takes me an hour to get onto this site and upload) and need to take it in. We're also having work done to my mom's house and that has been consuming me lately as well. Hopefully all will be back to normal in a month or two. Thanks for sticking with me and having patience.

How exciting

2009-04-28T20:39:00.003-04:00

I hope everyone enjoyed the blog tour as much as I did. There were so many AMAZING ideas posted. I had a great time hopping from blog to blog. If you didn't get a chance to check it out this time, there will be future blog tours so stay tuned.

Blog Tour #2, Stop #15

2009-04-27T06:01:00.014-04:00

How exciting! The Occasions Mini Catalog blog tour is finally here. I'm stop #15 on the tour but I'm certainly not the last stop. Be sure to check out all of the other blogs along the tour for some wonderful inspiration along the way!! I promise you won't be disappointed.

For my blog tour I featured the Choo Choo stamp set which is soooo cute. I just love it.

Products used for this project:
Choo Choo stamp set
Lovely as a Tree Stamp set
Right on Track wheel
Family Phrases stamp set
Oval scallop punch
Oval punch
Bashful blue ink
Old olive ink
Chocolate chip ink
Pacific point ink
Tangerine tango ink
Riding Hood red ink
Whisper White cardstock

I used a stampin' up dauber to apply the bashful blue ink as well as the old olive ink. To make the clouds I used the scallop oval punch and applied a little dotto to the back to make it stick then daubed over the background leaving a "cloud." I then daubed a little over the cloud so it wasn't so perfect. I then stamped my choo choo train stamp and cut out with my SU scissors and applied with dimensionals. I really love this set, it is so versatile. You can not only use it for birthday cards but for scrapbookk pages as well. (I must mention that this card was inspired by a stamper on Split Coast Stampers).

There is a promotion going on right now but hurry, the offer ends on the 30th of this month. For every $40.00 you spend on product from the Occasions Mini catalog you will receive an under $10.00 stamp set for FREE!! These sets are on page 208 of the catalog and include:

Blog tour and other goodies

2009-04-26T11:58:00.008-04:00

Here's another reminder about the blog tour that is happening tomorrow, April 27, 2009. It is for ONE DAY ONLY and will go from 8 am EST until midnight that same night. You will have the chance to tour 20 different blogs and see many beautiful ideas from the occasions mini catalog. Don't forget also that Stampin' Up is holding a promotion until the end of this month including the occasions mini catalog. For every $40.00 in product you buy from the mini catalog you can choose a free under $10 stamp set on page 208 of your catalog. What a great promotion. There's so many cute things in the mini catalog that it won't be hard to choose. Remember this promotion only lasts until the 30th of this month so hurry and get your orders in. You can email me for more information or if you would like to place an order. Even if you are out of state and would like to place an order that is not a problem, just let me know.

Here are a few project shares that I've done. The card is a lift from someone on SCS but can't remember who and the post it note holder was an idea from Dawn Griffith (another SU demo who has fab ideas and is a huge inspiration to me). These are the projects that we made at club the other night. Enjoy!

I used the Fifth Avenue Floral stamp set for this card along with the colors: chocoate chip, baja breeze and tangerine tango. Love this color combination.

This is using the Sale A Bration stamp set as well as the SAB designer series paper.

The blog tour is coming...

2009-04-14T08:36:00.003-04:00

More details to follow. Keep checking back to see what the "tour" is all about.

What a great way to "GET CONNECTED" with others

2009-04-08T14:36:00.002-04:00

Stampin' Up is holding a very fun promotion this month which will run until April 30th. For every $40.00 you spend in the Occasions Mini catalog (which is over on the left <---) you may choose one of the under $10.00 stamp sets which are on page 208 of the Idea Book and catalog. How cool is that? Hostesses also benefit from this awesome promotion. If you host a workshop of $150.00 you also would get to choose an under $10 set for FREE!!! So, you could potentially earn a lot of these cute sets for free. If you have any questions about this promotion please feel free to contact me and I would be happy to go over it with you. Happy stampin' and scrappin'.

March stamp club orders

2009-03-28T08:09:00.001-04:00

are due into me on April 1st. WOW, that was really fast. I think SU's new system is really working well. Anyhow, when I get them in and bagged up I'll let you guys know and you can pick them up. Have a great day.

The man in brown...

2009-03-16T14:16:00.001-04:00

I have them all seperated and bagged so if you want your order before tomorrow just give me a call or shoot me an email. Enjoy your new goodies!! I know I had fun looking at it all.

One more card...

2009-03-01T16:26:00.003-05:00

This is my card I'm doing for my card swap in March. I'm working on doing a video on it but it is just not cooperating. My video is freezing and lagging and it's been very frustrating. Grrr. Anyhow used the Trendy Trees stamp set again from SU. I truly adore this set. Love making a hill scene with it. Used kiwi kiss ink, bashful blue ink, chocolate chip, basic black and versamark. My cardstock used was bashful blue, whisper white, chocolate chip and old olive. I also used some brads and my uni ball signo gel pen. Love that pen, it is truly the best one out there. Anyhow, thanks for looking and stay tuned for the video.

Card Share...

2009-03-01T13:18:00.005-05:00

This is a lift from a stamper on SCS. This is using the Trendy Trees stamp set (item # 113258). I used post it notes to make the white 'border' around my tee scene. I also used masking for my sky. This set is really a set that is best used with the stamp a ma jig (as seen here, it is not matched up exactly). I used it on my next card and the trunks lined up much nicer. Used old olive paper and ink along with bashful blue ink and chocolate chip.

This card was a lift from someone on SCS. Loved it and had to do it myself. This is using the Trendy Trees stamp set (item # 113258) along with Pacific Point cs, Old Olive cs and Chocolate Chip cs. I also used pacific point ink, old olive ink, whisper white ink and chocolate chip ink. To get the ground I used some post it notes, tore them and used dotto to put it down temporarily then used the daubers and inked it onto the ground. I like how it looks a little dimensional with the daubers. I also used the Linen background stamp on the pacific point paper. I really love how this turned out and love the colors used.

How exciting...

2009-03-01T10:50:00.004-05:00

Stampin' Up retired list

2008-12-04T19:16:00.001-05:00

The retired list is coming out on December 9th. I will email that out to everyone as soon as I have it. If you are not familiar with this, SU retires certain stamps that are never to be seen again in the catalogs. This is done with each new catalog that they bring out. The new catalog is due out in January. I will have copies of those if anyone is interested in buying them (if you are a member of my stamp clubs the catalog is free). The new catalogs are $9.95. I also have old catalogs for sale (the current catalog is $5.00 and the last catalog is $3.00. These make great idea books). If you are interested in a catalog please let me know.

November club orders

2008-12-04T19:11:00.002-05:00

SU Christmas presents

2008-12-04T19:08:00.004-05:00

If you are wanting to give Stampin' Up stuff for Christmas (or someone you know wants to give some to you), Stampin' Up recommends that you order by December 16th. This is the date that they are guaranteeing shipping by Christmas to their customers. So, if you are wanting to place an order, just shoot me an email (my email is over on the right hand side --->) and I'd be happy to place an order for you. I know I'm wanting some goodies for Christmas. But what can I say, I'm addicted to the stuff!! Happy Shopping. (Just click on the Stampin' Up catalog icon over on the right to take you to the catalog).

2008-11-24T10:48:00.003-05:00

Here's a card I made for my Godson's birthday. I needed a more manly card than my usually pinks and stuff. I used SU's happy birthday wheel, SU kraft paper, Basic Gray patterned paper and the "birthday" stamp is from SU as well. I just can't remember the name of the set right now. I'll add that in later. Enjoy!

Upcoming events with me:

2008-11-15T11:44:00.002-05:00

Hi everyone. Here are a few Stampin' Up updates for you.

HOLIDAY WISH LISTS:

Don't forget yourself for the holidays. I will be placing numerous orders during the holidays so you will be guaranteed to receive your goodies by Christmas. Just email me or call me and let me know what you would like ordered. (Or if you don't want to know what you are getting for Christmas you can have your significant other email or call me as well). Stamps make great gifts too!! Kids and teacher's love them as much as we do.

HOLIDAY STAMP A STACK:

November 30th from 1pm-3pm. This is to help us get started in our Christmas card making. You will be making 2 cards (5 of each card). The cards will be easy to reproduce, using minimal supplies so you can get them done quickly. Please sign up by either email or give me a call. Space is limited for this one so sign up quick!! The cost for this is $30.00. Light refreshments and Christmas music will be provided.

RIBBON CLUB:

I am going to start a ribbon club in December (this is not a club that you need to attend, we would just be placing an order monthly to get our ribbons). I wanted to email everyone and see who all might be interested in getting some of Stampin' Up's beautiful ribbons. You wouldn't be buying the entire roll (some have 10 yards and you might not need that much of each color). This club will enable you to get each color of ribbon in the different families (1/4" grosgrain, 5/8" grosgrain, 5/8" striped grosgrain, 1" double stitched grosgrain and taffeta). Depending on the number of people who are interested in doing this will depend on how much we would have to spend and how much ribbon we would get. If there is enough interest, I would break it into 2 ribbon clubs (I'm thinking 5 per club at the most). We would do this monthly for each group, so it would run for 5 months. Please email me with your interest in this club by then end of November.

MARKER CLUB:

This works a lot like the ribbon club. This club is for those of you who are interested in obtaining all of Stampin' Up's markers but don't want to pay the $125.00 up front. It's kind of like a lay-a-way plan. By the end of 4 months, you will have received all of Stampin' Up's markers and the case that they come in. If you are interested in this club just email me or give me a call (I can explain it further if you are not sure how it will work). This will be starting in December as well. I need at least 4 per club for this one.

HOSTESS APPRECIATION:

I had also told some of you that I am starting a hostess appreciation for those of you who will host a workshop with me. For each workshop that you host, I will give you coupons that will be good for the entire year following your workshop. Some examples of the coupons include: December: 10% off any stamp set in the Holiday Mini Catalog w/ any purchase, February: Free ink pad when you earn a Sale-A-Bration set and Birthday Coupon: You may pick out ANYTHING $5 or less to receive FREE!! (one time use only). These are just a few examples of the great savings you can earn when you host a workshop with me. I promise that you will have a great time at your workshop too. All you need to supply would be friends and light refreshments. I'll do the rest!! Just give me a call or an email if you would like to schedule with me. Also, if you hold a $150.00 workshop with me in the month of January you can pick a stamp set in the catalog for free!! ($15 and under).

Spring Summer mini catalog

2008-11-14T13:07:00.003-05:00

I'm so excited to see what Stampin' Up has in their new catalog coming out in January. I just placed an order for the Spring/Summer mini's which will hopefully ship at the end of November (that I'm not 100% sure of though).

There are also some really great promotions going on right now. Check them out over on the right of the blog!! There's another one coming up in December as well. I've just added that to the sidebar.

Don't forget the holiday's are coming up so if you guys need anything or are interested in some stamping goodies for Christams, just let your significant others know and they can contact me directly. You will never know it happened!! I'll be placing orders all throughout the month so that the merchandise will be received on time for Christmas!!

I also have a new Hostess Appreciation coupon page that is going to be happening. More details to follow on this one. This is for those of you who host a workshop with me (outside of clubs). There are some pretty great deals with the coupons too!! Be on the lookout for this. This will be starting in December!!

Orders due in

2008-11-07T14:15:00.002-05:00

Fruity Chesse Ball recipe

2008-11-02T21:07:00.002-05:00

Some of you had asked me for the recipe for the fruity cheese ball that I made for Saturday's workshop. It is so easy and so yummy. Here's the recipe:

2 packages of cream cheese (sofetened)
1 can of fruit coctail (large can) drained
1/4 Cup of orange juice
1 small packet of french vanilla pudding

Mix all ingredients together well and refrigerate. Shape into a ball and serve with wheat thins (I got the cinnamon flavored ones).

Mommy and Me

2008-11-02T21:04:00.001-05:00

I had SO MUCH FUN at my Mommy and Me workshop on Saturday. I hope that you all had as good of a time as I did. I know it was really hectic so if you had any questions that didn't get answered or wanted to know about the catalog please don't hesitate to call me or shoot me an email. I will be happy to help you out. I am placing the orders that I got from club hopefully in the next few days (I'm waiting to see if I get any more orders before placing it). I will let you know when I've placed the orders and I will also update you (probably on the blog and email) when they are due into me. Thank you all again for attending. I hope to do another Mommy and Me in the near future.

Upcoming Mommy and Me workshop...

2008-10-13T13:48:00.001-04:00

I believe I'm going to be holding this workshop at my mom's house due to the overwhelming response of people who want to come to this one. I am so happy at how many are interested in this. I will send out a confirming email with directions when it gets closer to the time of the workshop (November 1st).

Su Color Combo

2008-10-13T13:45:00.002-04:00

If you look over to the right, I have added a new color combo button. This is a site that you can put in a color (or series of colors) and it will generate a bunch of Stampin' Up color combos that work well together. This is a great site to bookmark (or just remember it's on here. I will keep this one on the blog for as long as the site is available). Let me know how you like it.

Mommy and Me Stamp Camp Projects

2008-10-06T14:22:00.004-04:00

Here are the projects that we did at stamp camp and the how to's for those of you who might be intersted in making some of the projects:

Giant Paperclip Bookmark

Supplies: Giant Paperclip (from Staples or Office Depot)
Cardstock (Only Orange, Whisper White and Basic Black)
Batty For You Stamp Set
Punches (1 1/4" Circle Punch, 1 3/8" Circle Punch, Scallop Circle Punch)
Basic Black ink
Large Glue Dots
Adhesive

Stamp your chosen stamp from 'Batty For You' onto your Whisper White Cardstock and punch out with your 1 1/4" punch. Then punch out an orange circle from your Only Orange cardstock with your 1 3/8" punch. Finally punch out 2 black scallop circles. Build your "flower" starting with your scallop circle on the bottom, then your orange circle and on top is your stamped image. Adhere them together. Put a glue dot on the paperclip and adhere your scallop circles.

Bag-a-lope

Supplies: Envelope
Paper Trimmer and scorer
Stampin' Around Handle
Stampin' Around Wheel Cartridge
Wheel (note the size of the wheel)
Stampin' Around Wheel Guide
Adhesive

Cut off the top of your envelope (about 1/8th of an inch). Score the remaining three sides at 1". (remember do not push too hard or you will tear the envelope) Turn the envelope over and do this again. Apply a strong adhesive to the flap of the envelope to ensure that it doesn't open. Now you need to stamp on your evelope with your wheel. Do this on both sides. Once the ink has dried you need to fold over on your score lines. Fold your score lines both ways. Next put your hand inside the envelope pushing it so it opens up. Push on the bottom of your bag-a-lope with your other hand until you see your "cat ears" appearing. Once you have your cat ears you need to apply adhesive to them and stick them down. Push the sides of your bag in and you are done. You are now ready to put a band on it (or you can make a topper for it like we did for our M & M bags).

Mommy and Me

I had my first official camp today and I think it was a lot of fun. I hope that everyone who attended had a great time as well as their kids. I had a lot of fun sharing my love for stamping with them. Thank you all for being my first guests and I hope we can do it again!! I will be posting my projects as soon as I get a chance as well as the instructions. If you need the instructions before I post them, just send me an email and I will let you know how to do whatever project you need. Thanks again for coming!!

Card swap??

January-June 2009: During these months I will be starting a new Technique club. I am planning on doing this the 2nd Wednesday of every month.

This club requires that you spend at least $30.00 in Stampin' Up merchandise a month for the 6 month club. You will make 2 techniques per month along with instructions. At the end of the club you will have a 6x6 mini book chock full of techniques that you can use in your card making. This is a very cool club to join. I love my technique book. Instead of going home and after a few months wondering how you did that technique, with this you can just refer to your book. If you want to sign up for this club please let me know by December 1st.

Halloween "treat" box

2008-09-19T11:58:00.001-04:00

Here are the instructions for the Halloween Treat box that we made at club on 9/16. This box will hold 1 small Hershey bar/kit kat bar. It is very easy to make.

Step 1: Cut your desired color cardstock to 7 1/4 x 3 1/2.

Step 2: Score at 3 1/2, 4, 6 1/4 and 6 3/4. Fold with your bone folder.

Step 3: Stamp your 'batty for you' wheel on the front of your box.

Step 4: Punch your hole in the top of your box to stick your candy in (make sure it's not on the tab that you need to fold over and connect to the back) using your word window punch.

Step 5: Make your decorative front with your flower punch, your circle punches and your 'batty for you' stamps. (I used the 1 3/8 punch and the 1 1/4 circle punch).

Step 6: Adhere your box together and slip in your candy. Easy as that.

If you have any questions just let me know.
