Vacation is over…
Hi there,
Hope everyone had a fantastic holiday, I took a little time off to hold my Holiday Downline Get Together, finish up my clubs and do a few classes, then concentrated on getting Christmas stuff done. My whole family was here for the holiday! YEAH!!! Josh made it in before the storm in Minneapolis and out of New York before the blizzard. If you recall, last year he never made it for Christmas because he got snowed into Rapid City and couldn't get home until New Years Eve. But he made it this year! We had so much fun, I never stopped laughing.
Here are a few pictures of my amazing downline meeting, we had 60 people attend. The swaps and gift exchange projects were unbelievable.
Overview
Getting ready for the gift exchange.
Here we are doing our demonstrator swap. This month's theme was "anything BUT a card". They have to make 24 of them and they will get back 23, the 24th one goes to the Ronald McDonald House.
Swapping…
Isn't this the cutest little thing. I think this was my favorite swap! I love snowmen!!
I just love my downline meetings. We always collect and donate cards with envelopes to the Ronald McDonald House so they can use them. I also ask my downline to contribute the the local food pantry. Look at what we collected this month -
and this was only part of it…what a great feeling knowing we helped in a small way! Didn't I tell you I have the BEST downline!!
I also just had my "2011 Year In Review Scrapbook Class". All I can say is WOW!!! It came out fantastic. Everyone was so excited when they finished. They did 13 two-page spreads (that's 26 pages) in 3 hours. We were smokin'!!!! So that was amazing.
This is a sample of the book! Yep, they finished 26 pages in 3 hours. WOW!
On Thursday, I'm holding my very first ever "My Digital Studio" class. The gals will be bringing their laptops and we will complete an entire book ready to print. While creating the book together, they will be learning how to use the program. I'm excited and nervous. I've never done this before. I hope we don't blow a fuse with all the laptops plugged in. I'll let you know on Friday how it went.
I also have a "Calendar Kit" for sale. I did this as a class earlier in the month. Several of the girls wanted to make more so I told them I would offer it as a kit. It's a calendar that you put together. The kit has everything you need except the ink pads and stamps. I used the the most adorable stamp set found on page 65 of the big catalog called "Every Little Bit" (#117096 wood mount or #120558 clear mount) for each page except June and December. If you'd like to add the stamp sets to the order, email me to let me know.
I'm so glad to be back…I hope you enjoyed my post! See you tomorrow.

Hi Stampers,
Here is the tutorial I promised on how to make this gorgeous flower. My stampin' buddy, Sue Hyer from Virginia showed me how to do this when I went to visit. I fell in love with it.
finished flower
punch TWO 2 3/8" scalloped circles
next you want to score BETWEEN each scallop
the scoring is done BETWEEN the scallops
do this all the way around
after you've completed that, cut a line up to the middle
accordian fold both scallops, put a dollop of our multipurpose glue on both sides and glue together
add your brad, then add it to your card and WAH LAH! you are done.
I hope you enjoyed my tutorial. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at stampladee@aol.com. Enjoy your day.
10/10/10 Stamp Class on 10/10/10 at 10:10 a.m.
Oh my goodness, I crack myself up sometimes :0). I just can't wait until tomorrow, it is 10/10/10 and guess what I'm doing? Ten years ago I started my classes called 10/10/10's. My stamping friends would come over and stamp TEN cards, each would only take TEN minutes a piece and they would pay me TEN dollars. Well TEN years later, I'm still doing them and everyone has a blast. I SET THE TIMER for ten minutes and they HAVE to finish their basket in that ten minutes. WELLLLLLL….tomorrow is 10/10/10 so what is more fitting than holding a 10/10/10 on 10/10/10 and guess what? It's going to start at 10:10 a.m. So I will hurry home from church and we will stamp and laugh about it! This is what it looks like all set up.
All set up and ready to go…
Including the timer set at 10 minutes!
I hope you enjoy your day (10/10/10)! We are going to!
And don't forget to send in your STAMP CAMP REGISTRATIONS, we are limiting the number of guests this time. So hurry, don't be the last one to get yours in. FUN FUN FUN!!!!

Okay so at the end of the awards night we always have some amazing entertainment and this year was no exception!!! The Charley Jenkins Band came to the Salt Palace in their bus…literally IN their bus…the bus came INTO the Salt Palace to deliver the band. Here are two of the band members. Take a SPECIAL note of the girl on the left. She is playing the fiddle. SHE WAS AMAZING…and guess what…she will be on America's Got Talent THIS Tuesday (I'm pretty sure it's this Tuesday)!. I can't wait to see her!!! She's so adorable and can she play!!!!! You HAVE TO SEE HER! Make sure you VOTE for her. I'm not sure how to do it but I'm going to figure it out!!!!

At the end of the Convention on Saturday, we had another free give away! What fun…as the demonstrators were getting their gifts, they were doing the wave while holding up their gift….look at how adorable they were…
Look at them doing the wave!
It was filled with awesome FREE product! How neat is that.

Saturday is such a bitter sweet day…we've experienced the best event ever, then, boom….it's over :0( But we had fun and reconnected with old friends (old meaning long time friends not OLD)! :0) So much fun. Then it was back to the hotel to pack and get ready to leave to go home to my family on Sunday.

From the Stamping Share Table
Hi ladies,
At my stamping get togethers each month, the demos that come like to bring things that they've been doing to share with us. We have a table dedicated to these items. It is amazing. I like to take pictures of all the things they share. Here is a card that is just YUMMY!
Isn't this cute, cute, cute, cute!
It was done with the Sweet Scoops stamp set (#117078 wood mount or 120078 clear mount). This stamp set is NOT in the new catalog. If you'd like it, get it now. You can email me or shop on line any time, just go to http://stampladee.stampinup.net to order your set today! This is just too cute.
Hope you liked my post today, thank you for stopping by.
Golden Nugget for Free Product…
Hi girls,
Okay so I'm the last demonstrator in the WORLD to update her blog. Well I've been busy…getting things ready for you! I can't wait to show you what I've been working on. But that will be in just a minute.
My Annual Stamp and Accessory Sale went so fab-tab-ulous. I was with wonderful friends all day and we laughed and visted and they went home with some great bargains. Now my shelves are clear for my first order to hit the front porch (I will be making my UPS man a card with some cookies)! He just loves me!!! And for those of you that attended, the winner of the GOLDEN NUGGET was….
Pat!
YIPPEEEE….she was the one that won the golden nugget. All friends that attended the 10th Annual Open House received a beautifully decorated box with product inside plus a hug and a kiss from me (a HERSEY Hug and Kiss that is); then ONE lucky friend received the box with the GOLDEN NUGGET just like in Willie Wonka!
This is the Bitty Box and Envelope Die (#115967) from the 2010-2011 Stampin' Up! Idea Book and Catalog with the scallop punch flowers for the top. I made 50 of them and they were all gone by the end of the day!
Pat is seen here holding the nugget and the box. When she comes to club, she will see what she has won! So stay tuned.
Next I wanted to share with you Katie's 21st Birthday (my baby). We celebrated by going to the Saratoga Gaming and Raceway (voted the most beautiful quarter mile track in the US). It was so much fun and she had NOOOOOOO idea it was happening (I LOVE SURPRISES)! So we started off the evening with a buffet in the club house. They put the VIP princess and her party in the best seats in the house! We were overlooking the track and got to see every race and watched the sunset all at the same time. It was gorgeous. Here's a picture of Kate and I (and yes she was a winner and I don't mean that because she was wearing that tiara)…
Kate and I
So that is my family update for today…now for more stamping news…Look at how I reorganized my new stamp pads…
How do you like that, even I can see the names! So how did I do it?
First I printed out all the colors on label sheets (Avery 5160). I've made a pdf file for you to downlaod onto your labels. Click on the picture BELOW to download the pdf file (phew I did all the hard work for you!).
Click the picture above for the file.
Next, you will need to cut the labels into strips with your Stampin' Up! Fiskars Cutter (# 104152) so your punch will fit.
Next, take your Word Window Punch (#119857) and punch out each label. You are now ready to attach them to your stamp pads. Because they are printed on labels, you just peel and stick – "get out of town" yes, it's that easy!!!!! WAH LAH…you are done.
Hope you enjoyed my post today. See you tomorrow, enjoy your day and thank you for stopping by my blog.
THEY ARE HERE 2010 – 2011 Stampin’ Up! Idea Book and Catalog
THEY CAME!!!! The poor UPS man…He delivered all my catalogs…
I will take the weekend to prep them for you. If you are a club member, yours is free. If you reserved one, it is $5. If you didn't reserve one, check with me on the 1st to see if there are any left! It's GORGEOUS!!!
Remember to check in with me on Saturday…enjoy your evening.
Easel Graduation Card
I participated in a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator Swap recently. I received this graduation card from Lisa Curcio. It's so cute. I thought maybe some of you may need a card for this occasion. Just change up the colors to match your graduates school colors.
Outside of the card (I will tell you how to do the hat below)
Inside of the card
What the card looked like when it was open and standing.
Here is the side view.
Supplies:
Stamp Set: Go Graduate(#118518 wood mount or #120054 clear mount)
Cardstock: Bravo Burgundy More Mustard and Whisper White
Ink: Basic Black, Bravo Burgundy and More Mustard
Accessories: Bravo Burgundy and More Mustard Markers; BIG SHOT, Top Note Die; 3/4"circle punch; Dimensionals
1. Cut your card 4 1/4" x 11" and score at 2 3/4" and 5 1/2" (fold both pieces INWARD)
2. You will need another piece for the front cut at 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" this is attached to the lower front of the card that is scored (your layering piece for this one is 4" x 5 1/4").
3. Your inide will have the white message piece which measures 3 1/2" x 3".
4. and the other inside piece is put on with dimensionals so it sticks up a little (this will help your card stay open and look like an easel). The bottom measurement is 3 5/8" x 1 3/8" and the top white piece (the one that has the feet on it) is 3 1/2" x 1 1/4". Remember to put those two together and pop them up with dimensionals.
5. So how do we make the hat? You will cut a top note piece. Then turn that piece and line up the points with the points on the die and run it through the BIG SHOT again. This will give you a square piece. A very HELPFUL hint is to mark your Top Note Die like I did in the picture below. It helps line up the square.
I used one of our Zig Painty Pens (we don't sell them anymore :0(. So you can use a permanent marker.
This is a fun card to make. You will finish it up with strings made from cardstock and a 3/4" circle popped up with dimensionals. Conatct me at stampladee@aol.com if you'd like to order any of these items for your graduation cards or you can shop at my store 24/7 just click here and begin shopping…don't miss the clearance rack! LOTS of savings and they are changing often.
On another note, we had a blast at all my 10/10/10's this past week. It was all thumbs up for Arlene who said she wouldn't have missed it for the world or even a finger that was almost cut off! YIKES….she loves doing the 10/10/10's!
Enjoy your evening and thank you for reading my post.
Circles #2 Die
Okay so I went to the Post Office this morning and I was so excited to be mailing out some gifts to some of my very best stamping friends. As I was putting them on the counter, the Post Office lady (she loves me because I'm always there) anway, we were both realizing that literally, these gifts were going all over the country! This business of mine – being a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator has allowed me to meet and become very good friends with not only people all over the United States but also all over the world! Its' amazing. So do you want to know what I mailed them? I just can't wait for them to open them….okay so here they are…

Aren't they adorable?!!!!!
They ranged in size from a kid's size 2 (those were mine) to a size 10 WOW!
And this is what they looked like on…but the best part about these is this…
They are put on with a velcro tab so I can change the colors to coordinate with my outfits! :0)
Stayed tuned for tomorrow and I will show you how to make them. They are so much fun. I used the Circles #2 Die and my Big Shot.
