Hostess Appreciation- Card #3

I saw this card on Pinterest

I had my Hostess Appreciation a few nights ago. I love doing this for my amazing ladies. Anyone who has hosted a workshop, placed a $150.00 order or joined a Stamp Club gets invited to this annual event. I meant to take pictures of my beautiful ladies making their projects but I was so busy talking with them I completely forgot. We made 4 cards that I will showcase over the next 4 days. They got to shop my $5.00 Retired Sale first and they were first to get to sign up for my club that starts in September. I love showering my ladies with gifts so I made a them a beautiful box of cards and they got a bag of goodies. My Stampin ladies have become such wonderful friends of mine. I am so honored to get to know each one. If you would like more info on my Stamp Club please send me an email stampinwithfriends@gmail.com.

Stamp Club

I had my Stamp Club last week and we made some beautiful cards. I can't take credit for these 2 cards. The Northern Lights card was featured by a fellow demo Kay Kalthoff. The butterfly card was featured by Brandi Cox. I have been too busy with everything to come up with my own designs this month. When we demos borrow an idea it is called CASE. Copy and Share Everything. They both deserve credit for these beautiful cards.

Retired Sale

I had my Retired Sale earlier this month. Everything was $5.00. I had so much I had to get rid of it. I will post a list in a few days. If you see something that you would like email me at stampinwithfriends@gmail.com.

Patriotic Card-For Your Country

When I saw the catalog this was the one stamp that screamed to me. I think that this is the best patriotic stamp set that we have ever carried. I love the simplicity of this card. But I think it still makes a powerful statement. The military never stand alone. If you would like to order your very own you can get yours here.

I have wanted this because I really like the idea of having all of my plans and items I may forget at my finger tips. I am forever writing notes or things that I would like to get done for the week. Everybody has always had their own color on our calendar, including my Stampin' Up! Business and a Personal Family Fun Or appts. I want to be able to keep up with class RSVPs, ideas for classes, ideas for Blog Posts, card sketches, items I need to purchase and when I send a email to my customers. I would also like to have all of my bills that I budget each week, addresses, to be able to journal, decorate my book and have my mileage for business and Drs appts all in one place. Also the one I bought is an 18 month calendar. I am already scheduling things for the new year. I love that it has a removable cover that you can change if you wish. I love the way this calendar shows a month calendar so that you can see each day as well as breaks it down into each week.

Celebrating 1 year of Classes in my home with a Giveaway

 I noticed this week that I have been doing classes at my home for a year. I am having the most AMAZING time in my new creative space. Our kitchen was remodeled last year so I have been having my classes at my home. Before I always had to travel to my church to have my classes since I first became a demonstrator. Let me tell you there is nothing like being able to have them at home and not having to leave. My ladies and I are more comfortable and less formal. My kids no longer have to call me on the phone if they need something. They just come in the kitchen and visit with mom and her girls.I no longer have to carry all of my fun goodies with me. To celebrate I am giving away a box of 10 beautiful handmade cards. The above picture is a sample but my cards will vary. This is only offered to US residents. Leave a comment below and let me know your favorite Stampin' Up! product. I will choose a winner Monday July 21st.

Studio Calico Kit & Project Life

Ok everyone know I am a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator but I really am addicted to Project Life. I seriously within 4 weeks scrapbooked the last 23 years of our marriage. Now I am free to take as many photos as I want without the guilt. I am so happy that Stampin' Up! partnered with Becky Higgins from Project life and we have 5 very cute kits. Which you can order here. You can see the kits below.

I subscribe to My Paper Pumpkin and I love it but so far we haven't had any Project Life items in it. I also make my own cards with my Stampin' Up! supplies but like I said I really am addicted. So I took the plunge and I ordered the monthly Studio Calico Kits for $19.99. So far I love them. You can get all types of fun goodies in the box. If you want to check out what it is all about you can it here. Here is a picture of one of the kits they offer.
