Regionals At DFW

What a wonderful learning experience this day was! I cannot tell you how many ideas I came away with! From business tips to new techniques, every minute was worthwhile! I LOVE the company I work for and this opportunity just affirmed these feelings even more!

Look at some of the cards that were made by the beautiful stamp set we were given for attending!

This stamp set can be found in the holiday mini and is called Day of Gratitude! The ideas for this are endless and one is more beautiful than the next! I absolutely loved working with it!

Looking for a new and inexpensive way to stamp as well as enhance your fall decor? How about using coffee filters? Contact me and I'll show you how at YOUR next workshop.

Isn't this adorable? It was the winner for the cards submitted to Shelli for a prize basket. We are making it at Monica's pick three holiday card party on Friday night!

And here is one of my idea gurus, in the flesh...the one, the only, the STAMP SHACK LADY! Check out her website for some really creative ideas! I'm such a newbie compared to her!


And who knew she would be sooooo personable, soooo Shelli? Here are my friend Kim and I with Shelli Gardner, co-founder and CEO of Stampin' Up!

All in all, this was a great day! One which left me very motivated and energized to Share What I Love with all of you!

BUSY

I'm so blessed to say I've been busy. I've been making swaps for my shoebox swaps for the DFW Stampin' Up Regionals that I'm so looking forward to attending next Friday. I'm prepping for three upcoming Pick 3 card classes this month. I'm crafting away on some fun new projects for two craft fairs in November, and I've made 170 favors for a recent birthday party and will be working on baby shower invitations tomorrow afternoon! BUSY! Fortunately, I'm loving every minute of it! Please do forgive me for being so far behind on posting! I'll try to be better on keeping you up to date! I've not taken many recent pictures, but I do have a few today that I don't believe you've seen! As my new projects take shape, I'll post them here too! In the meantime, don't forget to click on my catalog for all your stamping needs! The new holiday mini has some adorable items that have just become available as of Sept 1!

Congratulations to Dr. Frank Petrigliano, our cousin who is now an orthopedic surgeon at UCLA after many years of hard work and dedication! This is the card I made for him!



This card is from a new stamp set in the 2010-2011 Catalog and Idea book called
Friends Never Fade. This is one of many cards I've made from this stamp set...it's very versatile and I
highly recommend it to you stampers out there.

You'll be hearing more from me about this set in posts to come including an opportunity to purchase a card kit featuring this stamp set!

Until then...
Happy Stamping!
