I just love to figure out how to use products "outside" the box. The Stampin' Up Clear-Mount Stamp Cases are intended for those who want to dismount their wood-mounted stamps and put them in DVD-sized storage cases. This is a great thing to save room. You can find the cases on page 205 of the…
The Beau Chateau Designer Series Paper is a favorite of mine right now – and I needed some little gifts for my granddaughter and her Australian friend whose family is visiting.

This is around 1200 demonstrators sharing their ideas, thoughts, plans, etc. etc.. Have a question? Just ask on SUDSOL and you will have the answer almost before you can check…
If you haven't signed up yet to be a demonstrator, you need to consider it. It's SUCH a great way to run your own business the way YOU want to run it and have run while you are at it. I joined 4 1/2 years ago to get the discount, but the benefits from joining…
One of the most fun things to do at convention is swap. Swap what? you say? Card fronts! As a demonstrator, we swap cards for even MORE ideas. I spent quite a bit of time making up swaps to trade, so I thought I would share MY swaps with you. I have shared some of…
