Hello Again

This example was inspired by a Make-n-Take that we created at Convention last year, but the actual card is smaller, measuring 3-1/2" x 3-1/2".

Say YES! Day 4

Yet another project from my "Say YES!" booking basket: cello bags with SU! ribbon. I used the "Sweet Pea" Designer Series Paper for the bag toppers. Everyone can use a little bit of ribbon!

Say YES! Day 3

Another project from my "Say YES" booking basket: a picture frame Post-It note holder using the "Sweet Pea" Designer Series Paper from the Occasions Mini Catalog. A very simple project that people enjoy. :) A full tutorial for making one of these can be found here.

Say YES!

I got the idea to offer a "Say YES!" basket at my workshops from one of the monthly "Stampin' Success" magazines that Demonstrators get through Stampin' Up!...one of the MANY benefits of becoming a Demo. :) I've always had a "booking basket" at my workshops, where people that book a workshop while at a workshop get to draw a berry from my "booking basket" with something FREE from the catalog that I will buy them on the night of their workshop (i.e. spool of ribbon, ink pad, etc).

However, to change things up a bit, this year I will offer a "Say YES!" basket. Each person will receive a "Say YES" token at the start of the workshop. I will let them know that at the conclusion of the workshop I will give every person the opportunity to book a workshop. If they turn in the "Say YES!" token before I ask them about hosting a workshop, they get to pick an item from my "Say YES!" basket. This week on my blog, I will feature items that are included in the basket.

The first project is a set of 4 customized Die-cut Pendant Note cards with envelopes. I packaged them all together in a large cello bag with a bag topper, but my pictures are just of the cards, so you could see the actual cards.

Enjoy. :)

Honey of a Day

I have always liked this "Just Buzzin' By" stamp set, though I'll be honest, I haven't created much with it. Which is why I dug it out this weekend and thought it would make a great stamp set for a Valentine card. What better stamp set to use than this one to tell your "honey" you love them? :)

More love in the house?

Here's another Valentine card I made this weekend using some new stuff from the Occasions Mini Catty:

NEW "I {Heart} Heart" stamp set
NEW Real Red luscious satin ribbon (luscious is my word, not theirs) ;)
NEW small heart punch

Will you be my Valentine?

I went on a Valentine creating frenzy this weekend, so don't be surprised if you see a lot of hearts and red this week on my blog. :) Here is the first Vday card I made using the "Under the Stars" bear, new DSP from the Occasions Mini Catty, and new corduroy buttons from the same catty. This bear makes me happy and to see him holding a string of Valentine hearts just makes me want to snuggle with him. :)

Hello spring!

After all of the snow/bitterly cold temperatures that we've had here, I was really craving some spring in my life, so I created this card this weekend. It was inspired by a handful of cards that I saw this week and decided to combine them into one card. :)The stamp set I used was inspired by Lynn Pratt and the ribbon butterflies from another one of her posts.

Only 68 days until spring!

January hostess

This is the Milk Carton set that I made for my January club hostess, and with all of the snow/ice/cold we've had here, it's pretty fitting to use the snowmen from the "Holiday Lineup" set. ha ha

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year

I took the second week of my vacation off from stamping/scrapbooking...not really because I wanted to, but because I was so busy with the holidays. It snowed here on Christmas Eve/Christmas Day for the first time in many years, so we had to re-arrange some of our family plans for the holidays.

I will have some projects to post this week, but for today, I will share a couple of pictures from my vacation. Hope you had a great Christmas and a fantastic New Year!
