All levels are welcome to these classes - from beginner to advanced!

The class lasts three hours and is full of information!

I hold these classes the Third week of the month, Starting with the Third Tuesday. Depending on how many sign up depends on when I hold other classes that week. Due to the nature of the class I need to keep the class to no more than 6 people. Just is more relaxed for everython that way.

Daddy Daughter Dance this weekend

2012-02-21T10:02:00.000-06:00

It was fun helping Chris get Elise ready for the Daddy Daughter Dance this weekend!

We shopped for her dress, shoes and her purple braid in her hair!

And of course we had to polish her nails…you guessed it! Purple glitter!

She is growing up so fast! Being her Mimi reminds me of when my girls were little. Where does the time go? How do they all grow up so fast?

Happy Monday everyone!

More Stampin to come soon!

A Stampin' Up! Happy Valentine's Day

2012-02-14T06:30:00.000-06:00

Recently I held a Chari-TEA event.

We made over 300 handstamped cards to donate to the Bridge Breast Network in Dallas, TX. They help underinsured individuals diagnosed with Breast Cancer. Over 9 years ago I was the recipient of this organization. They saved my life! My husband was out of work and we did not have any insurance.

One of the cards I designed had hearts on it. It was so fun to see the creativity of those at the event! Same Stampin' Up Framelits Dies Heart Collection ITEM # 125599 for $26.95 page 6 of the Occasions Mini Catalog, Same Real Red Cardstock, Irredicent Ice Embossing powder, same heart punches and stamp sets! And look at all the different designs!

Thanks again to everyone that came!

I delivered 300 hand stamped cards, envelopes and postage to the Bridge on Friday. They were thrilled for the donation! This organization is funded by donations and sends lots of Thank you notes!

Hugs Ya'll!

Displays from Leadership in San Antonio

MY Jewelry Storage!

2012-02-11T08:32:00.001-06:00

For Christmas my sweet husband and son made these functional jewelry organizers for all the girls in the family!

When we were in Las Vegas at the National Finals Rodeo we saw this organizer on display for a vendor selling jewelry. While I loved the jewelry I loved the hanger too!

It was fun on Christmas morning to see the girls faces! We couldn't really wrap them so we put all the necklaces on mine and I brought in mine from one side of the room and all the guys brought the others from the other side!

You can't see it in this picture but at the bottom there is a strip of leather to hold earrings!

Just love mine! So easy to see all of my jewelry and no more tangled necklaces!!!!

Stampin' Up! Leadership FUN TIMES!

2012-02-06T10:11:00.004-06:00

FUN TIMES AT LEADERSHIP!

FUN, FOOD, FRIENDS!
Several of love to pose and have our pictures taken...especially me! It always reminds me of the great times we share at Stampin' Up gatherings!

AND THAT IS The biggest pizza I have ever seen! 42 inches! Nine of us attempted to eat it! We had a lot left! It was so fun to experience this with fellow demonstrators who have all become friends!

Stampin' Up had an oriental themed Managers Reception for us complete with cute little umbrella drinks! I know there was sprite and cherries in them but need to figure out what else was in there!

I found these cute little laptop covers that looked like composition notebooks. I decorated notebooks and gave both to all of my downline that attended Leadership! I had 26 registered to attend! So proud of all of my leaders!

The cute cards hanging on clothes lines were entered into a contest that Stampin' Up held! Such great ideas for us to use for inspiration!

Saleabration is in full swing! Have you received your Occasions Mini and your copy of the Saleabration catalog yet? I would love to get one to you!

LARGE SIZZLITS DIE from Stampin' Up!

2012-02-03T11:16:00.001-06:00

LARGE SIZZLITS DIE from Stampin' Up! Item # 125592 for $21.95

At my scrapbooking retreat Audra created this card using this beautiful die! I loved her cards!!! Don't you????

A few tips and tricks:

Because of variations in materials, you will most likely need to use a shim (such as piece of card stock) when you send it through the Big Shot.
Also if you use Stampin' Up! Big Shot Multipurpose Adhesive Sheets (item # 120805 for $14.95) not only will it help with the cutting process but you will have adhesive already attached to your doily when it is all cut out!
The detailed intricacy comes with a little added work. The negative pieces will not come out automatically when you cut the die.
- It may take a little time to remove all the cut pieces from the die-cut paper. Remove the pieces by poking or punching them out. Carefully, push the pieces through the cut design and remove them from the back. Make sure you work from the front side of the doily (the side that was face-down when it was cut) and push the pieces through; if you try to pull them out from the front or if you push them through from the back side, the doily might tear. To make it easier, gently roll the die-cut paper to pop out some of the larger pieces.
- Push the pieces out using the Paper-Piercing Tool or the small end of the Simply Scored Stylus.
- The front side will look completely cut through, however, the back side may not. This is normal with this die, and if you follow the directions of removing the small pieces you will find that the die has cut through the paper.
Because of the intricate design of this die, small pieces might stick in the foam on the actual die. Clear all small pieces from the die before using it again. This will ensure you get a clean cut every time. Remove the remaining pieces by using your Paper-Piercing Tool, being careful not to tear the foam on the die.
OR TRY USING A LINT ROLLER BRUSH LIKE I DID!!!

Other resources:

Each die comes with instructional text with the above information (in a little less detail).
The Occasions Mini Product Guide includes the above information.

The most important thing to remember is that with the intricate delicacy and detail comes some added work. The larger Sizzlits dies require a bit more time to use than other dies and that there is a certain amount of hands-on effort involved in creating with these detailed designs. However, you will find with the gorgeous finished piece, the little bit of extra effort is totally worth it!

Stampin' Up! Salea-a-bration

2012-01-05T09:13:00.007-06:00

The Most Wonderful Time of the Year!

Don’t let the title fool you ... we’re not talking about Christmas ... we’re talking about Sale-A-Bration! Every year, Stampin’ Up! does a little bit of post-holiday celebrating with their fabulous Sale-A-Bration promotion. This year, from January 24-March 31, you can take advantage of all that Sale-A-Bration has to offer. And this year, Stampin’ Up! has changed things up a little bit. There are three ways to “Sale-A-Brate”. Here are the details:

As a customer, with every $50 purchase, you can choose something for FREE from the Sale-A-Bration brochure. This brochure includes exclusive items that are available ONLY during Sale-A-Bration as well as some handpicked items from the 2011-2012 Idea Book & Catalog. There is no limit to the number of Sale-A-Bration items that you can earn, so get out your wish list and start reaping the rewards!

As a hostess, when your workshop sales reach $150, you will automatically receive a free reusable shopping tote that sports a design from the Sale-A-Bration Everyday Enchantment Designer Series Paper. And when your sales reach $400, you will also receive a free bundle of Sale-A-Bration products that includes the Fresh Vintage stamp set and the coordinating Everyday Enchantment paper and accessories. All of this is in addition to the fantastic Hostess Rewards that you get all year ‘round!

As a new demonstrator, when you join Stampin’ Up! during Sale-A-Bration, you can start your own stamping business for only $125! It includes the standard Starter Kit and all of the perks and benefits ... just at a lower cost to you. And when you join, you’ll get additional benefits for the rest of the year because each month, you will get to choose either a free pack of Designer Series Paper or a free digital download.

As you can see, there’s no better time than during Sale-A-Bration to be a Stampin’ Up! customer, hostess, or new demonstrator. So contact me today to place your order, book your Sale-A-Bration workshop, or to find out more about becoming a demonstrator and starting your own stamping business. Or maybe you’ll decide to do all 3! Either way, it’s time to Sale-A-Brate!

Stampin' Up announces Stockings Builder punch will not carry over

2011-12-21T08:30:00.000-06:00

ANNOUNCEMENT ABOUT THE STOCKING BUILDER PUNCH

December 20, 2011

Ouroccasion-specific mini catalogs allow us the opportunity to share the latestseasonal products with you and your customers, and we often carry over productsfrom our mini catalogs into the following Idea Book & Catalog. This time,however, we have decided not to carry over the Stocking Builder Punch (item124095) from the 2011 Holiday Mini Catalog into the next IdeaBook & Catalog. Instead we will offer other great designs in its place--notto mention a trendy, new design planned for next holiday season.

Once thecurrent inventory of this punch has been depleted, it will no longer beavailable for purchase. We hope many Stampin' Up! stockings will adorn cardsand brighten holiday projects this season and look forward to seeing what youcreate with the next seasonal design.

IF YOU STILL WANT TOPURCHASE THIS PUNCH (which I still see baby booties, horse heads on boys cards,etc! with this punch…not just Christmas!)

LET ME KNOW BEFORE JANUARY 3, 2012 – THAT IS THE LAST DAY OF THEHOLIDAY MINI!

If you want to check out the clearance Rack Blitz that is going on right now CLICK HERE, remember to add the Stocking PUnch to your order! ITEM #124095

The Pajama Party and Business Share every year is so much fun!
To gather with top demonstrators in such a casual setting with lots of treats is such a TREAT!
We heard from top Demonstrators there tips and tricks during the Business Share.
That's what sets us apart from others...we SHARE what we LOVE!!!!

Denise Sullivan and me! So proud of Denise!!! She not only made it to Founders but placed NUMBER 2 AND She made Advisory Board 2011-2012! I am such a proud mama!!!

Yummy Desserts....all the time at Founders!!!

My Dear Advisory Board Sisters. We have such a kindred friendship. Nothing I wouldn't do for these ladies!!!! To be on the Advisory Board is such an honor. To have served with these woman

was such a privelege

Ronda Wade, my mentor!!! Of course during this photo she is calling me a little stinker for using her camera while she was out zip lining! I just took a few photos of the scenery. And of me!!! She says I took 100, but I think it was only like 75!!!!

Stampin' Up Founders 2011 To a Tea or Tee

2011-10-01T07:47:00.000-05:00

The theme for this year's Founders Club was Tea Time. Flowers and treats everyday for us to enjoy!

Posing with Shelli is always a highlight!

Attending Founders is such an honor. To be spoiled rotten is such a rare thing when you are an adult! We receive gifts, treats, planned activities, time on your own but most of all the chance to meet new friends. To be able to spend time with Shelli and the Event team is just a treat as well!

Founders Circle this year was so much fun!

To be amount the top demonstrators of Stampin' Up is always so humbling.

One thing I was able to do was to stamp at my friend Susan Adams house. She and Janet Baker planned a wonderful afternoon for us. We had a yummy lunch from our favorite place, Rio!

My hero, Patty Bennet and I enjoyed making some GREAT projects created by Susan.

She is sooooo talented! I just love her!

Here are some great photos!

Look at the cute things she did with the Santa Die from the new Holiday mini catalog!

Sharon Armstrong 14th Anniversary Party with Stampin' Up!

2011-08-28T09:28:00.000-05:00

I had such a great Anniversary Party! I received cards and Handstamped napkins from Ann! Thank you so much everyone that stopped by and celebrated with me! I had some make and takes and food and door prizes!

Everyone enjoyed hearing my stories of how I started 14 years ago and happy to see that I am still doing what I love!

Thank you everyone that came and wished me Happy 14!!!!

When I first started with Stampin' Up! 14 years ago a big way to showcase our wheels was to use plain lunch bags and we rollered sideways across the bag because it was too hard to go straight and "straight causes stress"! Then we had Kraft cards to match! Very simple and plain! That was always a project that I demonstrated at a workshop!

I had yummy food and beverages for everyone that came to my 14th Anniversary Party!

Chris and Sharon posing by the food!

My friend Rhonda gave me the old Idea Portfolio that was printed the year before I started! It had tons of ideas in it.

Today our Idea Book and Catalog offers the same thing! Here you see everyone enjoying my trip down memory lane!

I had door prizes every hour and lots of displays throughout my home!

Pilar remembers something from the Portfolio!

Bonnie and Sharon posing in my studio!

I got FLOWERS! Thank you Christy!!!!

Here are my printed Happy Fourteenth Anniversary Sharon Napkins from Ann!

Below are some photos of my studio!

Come see it sometime! And Bring your Camera!!!!

MY DIGITAL STUDIO BIRTHDAY CARD MARCH 2011

Screen Shot from My Digital Studio
(note look at bottom of my screen shot from MDS, I create each "Page" and have it saved on the bottom, then I just click thru each "Page" as I explain below) The Photos below just don't want to line up on my blog!
So...guess you just need to come to my class to learn how to do MDS!
PS...This was a card we did back in March, August projects are different!I chose a CARD, GREETING, 6 X 6 Card, Designer Template

PAGE ONE Card Template as it comes up in MDS

PAGE TWO I begin copying the flower and so that I can add more to my project

PAGE THREE Stopped adding flowers did not add a button to the middle flower

PAGE FOUR INSERT Page I chose ADD A PAGE so that I could start building the inside of my card. Since I knew I wanted to have the same background paper I choose a PAGE instead of BLANK.

PAGE FIVE Changed the Opacity of the background papers , copied the border trim, flipped it and inserted it at the top of my page.

PAGE SIX I copied page FOUR since Opacity was already how I wanted it and flipped the border to the bottom of the page.

PAGE SEVEN is the completed card with embellishments that you will be completing after the demonstration!

Another Stampin Club card

2011-08-07T20:13:00.000-05:00

My friend Georgia Giguere gave me the Friend card in Soft Suede, Baja Breeze, Very Vanilla and Crumb Cake.

I loved the card but since I was using these colors on another card for my Stampin clubs this month I took inspiration from my mouse pad from Stampin' Up! Convention purchased in the Memento Mall! It was created using My Digital Studio.

At the DFW Mini Convention Megan Wheeler shared so many ways to use, share and give My Digital Studio items! I can't wait to create calendars and brochures announcing my upcoming classes and clubs!
