Simple holiday cards with a side of bling
Well, December is finally here and like usual I suddenly realize that I need to get my Christmas cards put together and my mailing list organized. Thankfully I was running a technique night this last Tuesday and so we created three fun holiday cards. The actual card designs aren’t too complicated as the focus was…
It’s a …..
Well, I’m happy to share that we found out earlier this week that we will be having a little boy come Christmas time. So, of course to commemorate the occasion I had to put together a quick card to share the news. 🙂 I wanted to play with some scraps left over from cutting…
I’m back! Plus some news.
Hello! After a bit of a summer break I’m back and excited to be getting back into blogging. I’ve just spent the last four days in Salt Lake City for the Stampin’ Up! convention and it’s been a blast! I’m so excited to be coming home with cute samples, swaps, ideas, and info on some awesome…
More from Stampin’ Up regionals
I have so many awesome things I saw or made at last weekends regionals that its going to take me a few posts to share the best with you. I can’t imagine how many pictures and ideas I’m going to come back from convention with. It should be a blast though! I just had…
30 card swaps in 3 hrs
This weekend has been awesome! The weather has been perfect – in the high 70’s and sunny all weekend – and I got to go to the Stampin’ Up! regional seminar on Saturday up in Seattle. Oh my gosh was it tons of fun, super inspiring, and a chance to reconnect with the folks in…
One more card using the BigShot
Hi all! I know, its been a little bit since I posted on my blog and I blame it all on the Twilight series of books by Stephanie Meyer! My friend Kally got me hooked on the series and I found myself spending the last two weeks spending my lunch breaks and evenings powering though…
Trying out the BigShot – a card, a box, and the matchbox
I wanted to put up a quick post before I had to run into work. This week has gone by so fast and has seemed so busy, but the rest of the week should be more relaxing. On Tuesday, I was hosting a Technique Night focused on using the BigShot. Unfortunately, that night I had…
Get Connected Promotion plus upcoming events
I suddenly realized that I hadn’t shared with you all the latest promotion from Stampin’ Up! I don’t know about you, but I am always one for a deal and so I had to be sure you all knew about the latest deal from SU. From now until April 30th, every $40 you spend from…
A craft fair card
What a weekend! The usually cold and rainy Pacific Northwest turned beautiful and sunny for the weekend. It got up to almost 80 today, which was just nuts! I was at a craft fair all weekend so I mainly got to see the sunny weather from afar but thankfully it stuck around though the evening…
Another baby card
I told you that the card I posted earlier in the week was only first of many to come. 🙂 Last Thursday, my co-worker had her last day at work before spending the next week or two preparing for the birth of her baby girl. I couldn’t let her leave without making her a card. …
Craft Fair #2 – Jantzen Beach, Portland, OR
Last winter, I set up a table at my first ever craft and vendor fair. It was a holiday fair and I spent a lot of time preparing craft items I thought would be great for the holidays. Unfortunately, somewhere between the bad weather and the slightly hidden location, attendance was low and so it…
Thank you Stampin’ secret sister!
One of the wonderful ladies in my stamping group decided to organize a secret sister group. When you signed up for this group, you agreed to send your secret sister a handstamped item plus anything additional you want to send. We were supposed to send out our first gift by the end of March…
