Leadership project

Last weekend I had the privilege of attending Stampin' Up's Leadership Conference in San Antonio.  It was such an amazing learning experience for me!  What a wonderful opportunity to spend a few days with so many amazing people who are passionate about the same things I  am passionate about!  Stamping, creating, and crafting!  I learned so much!  This is one of the make and takes we did!  It is such a cute little 8x8 scrapbook page using the newest blossom punch from the occasions mini as well as the Mixed Bunch stamp set and of course, tons of cute SU embellishments!  Of course, I think the most adorable part of this page is the sweet little girl in the picture-my sweet daughter, Nora Kate!  I chose to use the "imagine" sentiment from the Loving Thoughts stamp set because I can only imagine what she's thinking in this sweet picture of her in the TX bluebonnets last spring!  The sky is the limit with Stampin' Up!  Join my team and find out!

It's Winter Somewhere

Don't you love these cute little winter mittens?  I did when I saw them!  I cased them from the fabulous Connie Babbert with just a few little changes to shannonize them!  To case means to copy and share everything!  That's one of the many things I love about Stampin' Up!  There is not a lot of negative competition and people love when you are inspired by their ideas!  Customers tell me that they cannot do what I do because they are, "not creative!"  I say, #1 yes you are!  and #2, you don't have to do it alone!  There are thousands of demonstrators out there ready to help you and share ideas with you from all over the world!  Join my team and do what I do!  You won't regret it!  I never have!  Contact me for more details!

This card features the cute, cuter, cutest designer series paper featured in the Sale-A-Bration catalog! Remember, all you have to do is place a $50 order and this could be yours free!  Place a $50 order, choose this paper as your freebie and tell me about it, and I'll send you the directions on how to make this cute little card! 

Until then...

Oh Baby!

My sweet friend Beth is hosting a baby shower tomorrow to welcome Baby Madelyn to the world!  I had the honor of designing a banner for the shower and for the parents to use however they wish afterward!  I am really happy with the way it turned out. 

I was asked to use Tiffany blue, red and a little pink to go with the nursery!  I used this beautiful new DSP from our Sale-A-Bration promotion!  It is one of the many choices of free products in the Sale-A-Bration catalog when you place a $50 order from now until March 31st.  I absolutely LOVE it!  I mounted it on polka dot embossed poppy parade and embellished away!  I hope the expectant mommy is pleased! 

If you would like information on ordering a custom made banner, please contact me, or better yet, just let me know you'd like a supply list so you can make one for yourself!  The pictures below show the individual letters!  You may click on them to zoom in!

 I am absolutely IN LOVE with the new P.S. I Love You Stamp Set from the new Occasions Mini!  One of the things I love most is that it can be used for more than just Valentines!  It's true....seriously, not like all the bridesmaids dresses I've had over the years!  This set, is beautiful, practical and useful too!

 We are always making such gorgeous birthday cards, but this time, let's remember the men in our lives with this masculine card!  This is a great card using the Well Worn designer series paper and the Perfectly Penned stamp set!  Both are great choices for your stamp room!

Hmmmmmm.....I wonder why I would create a monogram with a B on it?  Could it be that a special someone I know has a birthday coming up?  This uses the Elementary Elegance set from Sale-A-Bration which could be yours FREE with a $50 order!  Isn't the frame beautiful?  The monogram comes from Lovely Letters which is ever popular too!

So, come share the love and stamp with us and enjoy the creative elements and company as well!
