  • Happy Thanksgiving – a card for you!

    Hope you are having a great Thanksgiving with friends and family.  I was up this morning and thought I would make you all a card. 🙂  Have a wonderful day and rest up for black friday tomorrow!  I have to say, I tried the 5 am start on Black Friday one year and once was…

  • Thank you cards galore

    After spending the week getting ready for the craft fair and my thank you card class on Saturday, we had a small group get together to make a set of 12 thank you cards.  It was a fun group and the creativity was really flowing.  I was so impressed with the different ideas that people had…

  • My elegant embossed wedding card

      I will be flying to New York this Friday to attend my cousins wedding.  I keep calling it a NY socialite wedding because it is at a fancy resort in upstate NY and I heard that they will each have 12 attendants in the ceremony.  It is a black tie affair and all that,…

  • Swap card overload!

    So, I showed you a couple posts ago about the cool gifts I was given and projects I made at the group meeting on Saturday. I also mentioned that I participated in a card swap. The other ladies made such awesome cards that I had to share! And here are a few of my favorites!

  • Why I love my Stampin’ Up! Uplines

    Because they are awesome and organize great events! So, yesterday I went to a group meeting organized by my very distant upline (for those of you not familiar with the term, my upline is the person who recruited me to be a demonstrator).  It was for everyone in her group of Stampin’ Up! demonstrators and their recruits. …

  • Fun with heat embossing

    Last night was both a technique tuesday and a historic presidential election.  So, we ended up combining the two events into an election watch party in the living room and technique tuesday in the dining room. 🙂 We had a small group but had fun trying out a few different ways to add texture and…

  • The Stampin’ Up! Holiday Mini Swap

    So, a couple weeks back I participated in a card swap based on the Stampin’ Up! 2008 Holiday Mini catalog.  It was myself and 9 other SU demonstrators designing cards using the new stamp sets from the Holiday Mini and then mailing them in to one person who would then mail back one of each…

  • The 5 minute Wow flowers thank you card

    What a great weekend!  The weather was great, and the company was fantastic.  We had a small group of ladies come over for a mega-holiday card making event.  I am always so impressed to see the creativity that comes out of peoples at these events!  We had a bit of a late start and so…

  • Holiday Stamp-a-Stack Sneak Peak – Part 2

    I told you I had more sketches than necessarily for the Holiday Stamp-a-Stack this Saturday but I decided to make them up anyway.  Unfortunately I spent way to much time last night trying to figure out how to make one of my sketches work (it never did end up working) so I only got through…

  • Sneak Peek at the Holiday Stamp-a-Stack

    So, Saturday is the holiday stamp-a-stack and I have been working on creating samples for some of my sketches. Last night, I was planning on getting them all done, but then I remembered I needed to finish glueing together the cardfronts for a card swap I’m in, so while I got all 11 of those…
