  • 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,…

  • A little blog candy of my own

  • 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. …

  • 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…

  • 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…
