I'm back from the Stampin' Up Convention. Still recovering from long days, short nights and overload, but what a great time we had!! Some quick highlights: The Stampin' Up Trimmer is awesome – got to see it in action – should be available very soon. It has a 6 1/2" bed – the handle has…
Oh, I do LOVE the Big Shot Framelits – ALL of them. If you haven't already received the brand new Holiday Seasonal Catalog, watch out. It should be coming to door any day and it's FULL of wonderful new products. And don't miss out on the great deals SU is offering 15% discount when you…
One of the fun things to do at the Stampin' Up Convention is to swap!!! And I mean SWAP until we drop (almost). While waiting in line for various activities (Memento Mall for one where they have exclusive items for sale!!), we swap ideas. Most of these are card fronts and it's SO fun to…
Check-in day at Stampin’ Up Convention. Got our bags; did our Make ‘n Takes. Tonight we attended a class and made this canvas. Makes me feel like an artist! All made with SU Designer Series Paper More tomorrow hopefully?…….
As most of you know, Stampin' Up adds five new In-Colors every new catalog to it's line. They are available for two years – then they retire (TIP: Don't sell these colors as SU has said they might bring some of them back in the permanent line!!) This year the new colors are truly beautiful…
I fell in love with Jackie Topa's Cute Critters class and just KNEW my customers would love it too. Then I had requests from a couple of dear friends wanting a punch art class. PERFECT!!

No these are not "bazaar" in ODD, but they are for a Christmas Bazaar. My friend, Julie, has already started planning for Christmas. I wish I was as organized. She made and shared with us, these fantastic Post-It note holders. What a neat and creative idea. I'm sure they will fly off the table at her…
One of my very favorite projects is to make up card sets. And I love giving them to my hostesses. Here is a set I made for my June Hostesses. This folder is SO simple and easy to make – just one piece of 8 1/2" x 11" card stock!! Above is the inside with…
I enjoyed the Reverse Masking technique SO much, that I had to try it again!! Just love the way this card turned out. I found the idea online and went with it! Serene Silhouettes is going to be one of those "go to" stamp sets. It's SO peaceful and just simply beautiful!! Isn't this just…
We always have fun making at least two projects in our club meetings. We have fun making different projects each – I try to feature either a new technique or a new product! Here's the card we made last month – I love it's simplicity, yet it's elegance. And, of course, the bling just makes…
