Last Day to order…

Hidy Ho Stampers,

 

As you know it's the last day to order from the 2010-2011 Stampin' Up! Idea Book and Catalog.  So make sure you get those orders in NOW and if your order is $50 or more, you will receive my SUMMER VIP status.   This is one of the Dies that is leaving :0(

 

#115961 Perfect Setting Die

 

This is what it looks like opened.  Isn't it the cutest stinken thing!!!  You could hide all kinds of treasures in there.  It's really a cupcake holder.  Can you imagine if you sent your child to school with these cupcake holders…you would take MOM OF THE YEAR to a whole new level!!  :0)

 

Thank you for stopping by, I know I haven't been around much but I'm trying to prepare for the end of the Stampin' Up Catalog, the start of the new one, all my classes, Stamp Sale, Open House and CONVENTION!!!!!  I know I know, no excuse!

 

Have a great day.

Just For Women Event

Hidy Ho Stampers,

It's been a busy week and there is still more to come.  I just LOVE it!!!   Busy Busy Busy….well tonight was the Just For Women's Event that is put on by Saratoga Hospital.  Here are a few pictures.

 

 Here is my table after we got all set up.  It was held at the Saratoga City Center.  What a beautiful new building.

 Close up of my display – Scrapbook and My Digital Studio Display, in the back are some recent cards we've been doing in classes, clubs and workshops. 

On the other side, we have the pins that I make with our Big Shot.

 

 I was so excited that my daughter Kate got to help me this year.  She helped me prep all day and then we both had a blast meeting people at the event.  She's so good with the people.

 We eat from the time we get there until we leave.  Here are the appetizers -mmmmmm!

 And here is our guest speaker – Christine Holton Cashen – she was soooooooo funny!  We all loved her. 

and then we finished off the evening with door prizes and DESSERTS – DOUBLE MMMMMMMMMM!

The whole evening was absolutely fun.  We shared some quality time with JUST WOMEN!

 

Thank you for stopping by.

 


We are sooooo excited….

Hidy Ho Stampers,

 

Well I've been holding it in but now I can let it out!!!!  JOSH and MEGAN GOT ENGAGED!  YIPPPEEEEE….I'm so excited.  So what do you think?

 

 Here is the ring he picked out for her.  He's the "Rock Doc" (he has his PhD in Geology) so do you think he picked the right rock?  It's gorgeous.

 

 And Moose, helped to pop the question…do you like his Bow Tie?  He dressed for the occasion.

 

 And look at his little heart, it reads…."Megan will you marry me?"

 And here they are….they are so excited!

 

With those two in mind, I created this card…

Isn't this pretty?  Of course it is.  I used the new Four Frames stamp set #123440 wood mount or 123442 clear mount and the new Designer Series Paper Paisley Petals #122367.  You can order either or both of these these.  They have to be ordered before Saturday, April 30th.  So how can you order them?  Spend $20 on any Stampin' Up! products and become eligible to purchase both the Four Frames Set and or the Paisley Petals Designer Series Paper.  Hurry, time is almost up!

 

Also used on this card are the Baja Breeze Seam Binding for the bow, the Decorative Label Punch that matches our Stamp Set.  See how it all coordinates.

 

So let the fun begin….  :0)


Hurry Last Chance on Sale

Hidy Ho stampers,

 

Are you just totally full from today's dinner?  I am.  Anyway, I need to post fast so I'm going to show you one of the cards we are doing in club this month.  Hurry if you'd like to order this stamp set or Designer Series Paper as it will not be on sale after this Saturday.  Contact me if you'd like to get them, I'm putting orders in all week. 

 

I used the new Designer Series Paper that is available until Saturday called Paisley Petals #122367 and the stamp set that I used is called Baby Blossoms #121927 wood mount or #122000 clear mount found on page 14 of the Mini Catalog.  I taught them how to do the Single Big Shot Swing Card.  I put a video here on my blog and YouTube as well as Stamping Connections showing you how to do this card.  Hope you like it.  Email me if you have any questions or would like to order any of these products.

Thank you for stopping by, I'll write more tomorrow!  Good night.

Elmo!

Hidy Ho stampers,

 

At my stamping team meetings we always have a demonstration.  This month we had a demo on how to use our Big Shot in a different way.  Bev used it to make an Elmo card.  Here it is…

 

 Isn't he the cutest little thing.  Thank you Bev for teaching us how to make a card out of one of our dies.

I also do a raffle.  All the product for this month were from the upcoming Summer Mini Catalog.  You get free raffle tickets for different things.  It's all free to the gals that come.  They were so excited to get new product in their hands for free. 

 

So how do you get tickets?  Come and see!  As a guest to my team meeting, you too are eligible for free tickets!  Contact me to find out how to participate.

Mini Scrapbooks/Gift Card holder/Whatever…

Hidy Ho Stampers,

 

Well it's been a whirlwind two months…besides being our busiest time – Sale-a-Bration - I also had Continuing Education Classes, my CSEA event and Stamp Camp (also I did all my workshops, classes and clubs).  Phew, I made it through all of those and I'm now working on my next event – "Just For Women" held here in Saratoga Springs New York on May 11th put on by Saratoga Hospital.  I can't wait…it's a night I get to get all dressed up and hang out with women and it's all for a good cause.  Fun Fun!!! 

 

Okay so I wanted to share with you one of my projects that I did for Continuing Education.  It was for  my Altered Scrapbook Class.  They LOVED it!  It can be used for a lot of different things but my main focus was on those that like to scrapbook!  So here they are:

 

Here is my "his" and "hers" versions.

 

Okay so here is "his" opened once….then….

 

when you open it up again (lift the shirt), there are several layers of cardstock that you can fill with gift cards and pictures and sentiments!  How fun is this?!!!

 

And here is my "hers" version…

 

 Open for the first layer…The pearls are so beautiful.

 

 Then lift her shirt (whoops that didn't sound right), open again to reveal the pages and add whatever you'd like!

 

And here is a closeup of the flower I made.

 

I LOVE IT!!  I hope you did.  Thank you for stopping by.
