Diva/Dude Day
Hidy Ho Stampers,
Well Saturday was my quarterly Diva/Dude Day. We had to modify the name as we had TWO male teammates earn the title this time. It was so much fun and everyone was so excited for both of them. Diva/Dude Day was a concept that my friend Patsy Waggoner shared with me a few years ago and she shared at leadership this year. She was an amazing presenter!
My top 10 in sales and anyone that recruits for the quarter is invited to a very special stamping day. I do all the preparation and they come and enjoy and stamp and eat! Oh how we laughed! So this is how it played out…
My daughter Kate got up in the morning and started prepping the food.
mmmmmmmm we had mini pies filled with cherries and some filled with apples.
found this on Pinterest – the dip is in the bottom and the veges are all in individual cups (so much easier).
Here is one of three tables filled with food.
The tables were set and ready for them to come.
Everyone had our new Twitterpated Fabric and Twitterpated Designer Series Paper and Blushing Bride Pleated Ribbon and Twitterpated Buttons and Maze Game pieces and more.
Here's Dude Chris along with Val and MaryMargaret.
They were all sewing and NO ONE was whining about it! Believe it or not, they were all having FUN!
More sewers.
more fun
more food!
Here is one of the cards I created for them to complete.
Supplies used:
Stamps: Fresh Vintage Stamp Set #125115 Wood Mount or 125117 Clear Mount FREE WITH A $50 order (click here to place an online order)

Holiday Happiness
Hidy Ho Stampers,
I just love this time of the year. We've been decorating and baking all weekend. The smells that come with this holiday are just scrumptious. One of my favorite smells is fresh cut Christmas trees and their trimmings. We decorated our freshly cut tree and put up our wreath on the front door. I found a card on another site and it looked just like my front door so I had to copy it! Here it is…
Supplies Used:
#119686 Early Espresso Card Stock
#119685 Cherry Cobbler Card Stock
#112534 5/16" Neutrals Jumbo Brads (Silver)
#123764 Clear Mount or #123762 Wood Mount Pines and Poinsettias Stamp Set (2011 Holiday Mini)
#102283 Versa Mark Pad
#124114 Pewter Emobssing Powder (2011 Holiday Mini)
#124108 Stitched Felt Winter Wishes (2011 Holiday Mini)
#124105 Cherry Cobbler 3/8" Quilted Satin Ribbon (2011 Holiday Mini)
#122334 Simply Scored Scoring Tool
#104294 Sticky Strip
To make the raised panels on the door, I made up a template. I then penciled it on the back of the Cherry Cobbler Card Stock.
Then I used the Simply Scored Scoring Tool #122334 to make the panels. Notice how I used the markers at the top so I could line everything up. I did several cards so it was easy peasy with my new tool.
I then turned it 90 degrees and connected the other lines. When you turn it over, the panels are raised. I will give a little hint on this card – you need Sticky Strip to adhere the felt.
Isn't this so stinken cute! Love it. fa la la la la la la la la Hope you enjoyed my post, thank you for stopping by.
Button Buddies
Hidy Ho stampers,
Today I needed to make a few cards to send out. Here is what I came up with.
Stamp Sets: Button Buddies, Four Frames, Friendly Phrases
Ink: Pool Party (LOVE THAT COLOR)
Cardstock: Whisper White, Pool Party, 2011-2013 In Color Designer Series Paper
Accessories: Designer Printed Brads 2011-2013 In Color; Big Shot; Perfect Pennants; Fancy Fan Letterpress Plate; 2 1/2" Circle Punch; Decorative Label Punch; Pool Party 3/8" Ruffled Ribbon
I'm very pleased with the card. I just love the new brads and the ruffled ribbon is adorable. Remember I'm doing a ribbon share, if you'd like to be put on the list, let me know.
I used the new Fancy Fan Letter Press Plate to get that gorgeous background. Go ahead, look back up there, did you miss it? Well if you saw the card in person you wouldn't. I like to spray rubbing alcohol on my cardstock before I run it through, this makes the paper "mold" to the die. It comes out much crisper. Why didn't I use just plain water to wet the paper? Because the alcohol dries faster.
In the afternoon, we decided to go to the Capital District Scottish Games. They were amazing. Listening to these groups gives me goosebumps!
And of course there was lots of food.
Just amazing.
It was a wonderful day!
I hope you enjoyed your day…every minute of it! Thank you for stopping by.
Demonstrator Get Together Project
Hi ladies,
Okay are your ready to see what we did today at my demonstrator get together? It was something that was demonstrated at convention by one of my favorite Stampin' Up! employees - Carrie Cudney. It was so much fun. This is the finished project that I was showing you all the pieces to yesterday….so here it is.
This is the outside of the Reading Log
This is what the inside looked like, it is so adorable and the girls loved them.
Each pocket had an organizational insert, here is what was in pocket #1.
Here is what was in pocket #2
There were two of these in pocket #3 (you could add as many as you would need). These are little logs for you to jot notes.
Close up of the inside. They are put together with our new 1/8 taffeta ribbon.
And this is what was in the last pocket.
Supplies used -
Simply Scrappin Kit Love Birds (#118707)
Play Date Folders (#117170) found on page 180 of the big Stampin' Up Catalog
Serif Essentials Alphabet Die for the letters (#113464)
Sweet Shoppe Alphabet Lower Stamp Set (#120272 wood mount or 120648 clear mount)
1 1/4" striped Grosgrain Ribbon Pretty in Pink (#119775)
1/8" Taffeta Ribbon Early Espresso (#120931)
Flower Brads Subtles (#119732)
If you do not have a demonstrator or if you are one of my customers and would like to order any of these items, just contact me and I will add it to an order going in or you can simply click on the SHOP NOW button and order it online 24/7.
Besides doing this project, we also did 6 make and takes at the meeting that were OUT OF THIS WORLD. These 6 projects were designed and presented by the girls in my group. We also swapped and ate and just had so much fun. I just love my group.
Hope you enjoyed my project…my demonstrators seemed to LOVE it at the meeting today. We also brainstormed some great ideas if you didn't want to make a Reading Log – How about using it for a Christmas organizer – give each one of your children one of the log booklets, have them fill out their wish list and you have a great organizer and gift idea log to bring shopping with you. How about using it for a "baby-to-be" organizer or a knitting log or well…you get it…you can use it for anything that you need to organize. If you have any ideas on what this can be used for, just leave a comment so others can enjoy the different ideas.
Thank you for stopping my my blog…hope you come back soon.
