Team Meeting

I love our Team Meetings. We had so much fun last night creating, sharing and learning from each other. My Upline served us a Taco Casserole, with chips and salsa and Fresh Salad from her garden. Plus to finish the theme she served ups Choco Tacos for desert. We made these beautiful frames to put on our desks for Inspiration. We all started out with a Case on Stampin Connection but as you see each one is completley different. I am definitley going to have my Stampin Ladies make 1 of these at my next Stamp Camp.

This is the one that I made.

This is the one that Mary Kate made.

This is the one that Jeanne made.

This is the one Becky made.

Aren't these Beautiful? We received this stamp set at Leadership. I can't wait to show you the new catalog. It so much easier to read and it has awesome Techniques. Plus of course NEW GOODIES!!
Happy Stampin!

I love when my Stampin Friends send me pictures

I love getting pictures from my Stampin Friends! Look what Denise made? Can you tell what this paper is? It is a tissue box. Isn't she creative? She used the Framelits and the Stamp set was from the Saleabration Catalog. I thought this was too cute not to share.

Retired Accessories List

Retiring Accessories and Décor Elements April 25, 2012 Get them before they are gone! The retired accessories and Definitely Decorative (including Décor Elements) lists are now available and won't stay around for long--these items are only available while supplies last! When you look at the retired accessories list, you'll note that all of our Stampin' Pads are listed. This is for two reasons: (1) Craft Stampin' Pads will now only be available in black and white; and (2) we are introducing a new Firm Foam pad in our Classic Stampin' Pads with the 2012-2013 annual catalog. The Firm Foam pads offer better ink coverage and, in turn, better stamped images. In addition, please note the following about the new catalog: Only select Stampin' Write Markers will be available individually (Stampin' Write Markers in color collections will continue to be offered) 12" x 12" Textured Card Stock will no longer be offered 12" x 12" Smooth Card Stock will only be available in select individual colors and color collections Visit the Promotions page to see what's retiring--and what items have special discounts.

Confirmation Card

My son is getting Confirmed this evening and I wanted to share a very quck card that I made for him. The card is embossed but it is hard to tell from the picture. I made 48 Chocolate Crosses so my card needed to be very easy and quick. I hope you like it.

Easter Eggs using SU Reinkers

My boys are 13 and 16 and they really aren't interested in hiding eggs anymore. However, they are interested in throwing them at each other. LOL!! My husband and I have been making cascarones for the past few days. Cascarones are a empty egg shell filled with confetti and decorated. It is a Mexican tradition and if you crack it over someones head it is supposed to bring them good fortune. Of course, I wanted to change things up and try to use some of my favorite Stampin' Up! colors. I was so excited to see a Melon Mambo and a Rich Razzleberry egg. So Easy and Beautiful colors!!

Tutorial:

Use 1/2 cup of water
1 TBSP White Vinegar
10-14 deops off your favorite color Reinker
Stir together in a cup
Dip your egg for 5 minutes and you will have a Beautiful SU egg!!

Happy Easter Everone!!

February Workshop Make and Takes

Here are the 2 cards that we made at my Workshops in February. The Daffodil Delight card is inspired my one of our Leadership Make and Takes. I love the Mixed Bunch Stamp set. I really hope they carry over this stamp set in the NEW Catalog. The other card was inspired by one of the Leadership swaps that I received. The original card used Soft Suede. However, everyone that knows me knows I love Baja Breeze. So I changed it up a little bit. This card was a hit! It is so easy to make. I am really going to miss the Saleabration DSP. If you haven't ordered your Saleabration items don't delay. Saleabration ends March 31st. Happy Stamping!

Leadership Make and Takes

Here are some of the projects that we made at Leadership. We received the Moxed Bunch and Loving Thoughts stamp set for FREE. I love Stampin' Up! they really know how to spoil their Demonstrators. I think my favorite Make and Take was the Scrapbook page. I normally don't scrapbook unless I use MDS but I really like how easy this page was to put together. I am going to be offering some more scrapbook projects beginning next month. Happy Stamping!

Family Is So Important

I am so thankful for the support that my family gives my Stampin' Up! business. They know that is saleabration is a very busy time and that I am gone more than normal. We took our son's to the pet store on Saturday. I had a day off and we just hung out doing whatever the guys wanted to do. My sweet hubby wanted to go to Sams to taste all the samples. Men are so funny! This picture is adorable. This little puppy looks like he is talking to Noah. I asked Noah what he said. "Tell your mom to take me home!?" I am sure that is exactly what the liitle huy said. However, we already have 3 dogs.

We had our first s now fall on Sunday. Here are a couple of pictures of how much snow we received. My sweetie took me to my workshop because he didn't want me to drive and then he came back and picked me up. How awesome is that? I don't have any Stampin pictures to share today. Stay tuned!

Valentines Day OOPS

I had 4 classes this past weekend getting everyone ready for Valentines day. Last night my sweetie & I were watching TV and he presents me with a box of chocolates and a card. He couldn't wait! He's so cute. Every Holiday he gets so excited that he never waits to give me my present. My response was Thank you and in my mind I am thinking OOPS. I was so busy getting everyone else ready for Valentines Day that I forgot about my sweet hubby & the kids. Of course, when everybody went to bed I stayed up making their cards. Nothing like the last minute. I have had the Love Letterpress plate for months now and have never used it. I really like the Letterpress Plats they just give your project that extra special touch. The card with the Grosgrain ribbon is the one that I made for both of my boys. The Whisper White card with the Cherry Cobbler topper is the one that i made for my sweet hubby. I hope he likes it. Happy Valentines Day!
