2017 Holiday Sneak Peek!

Hello stampers!

Yes, its been a long time. Since I haven't been very active due to my injuries, I've been busy working on my new WordPress website. This is the first post using the new site! There are still kinks to be worked out, since this is my first time programming a WordPress site. If you come across something buggy, please let me know and be patient. Thank you! Being a SU demostrator a perk is always getting a sneak peek (including a preorder) of upcoming catalogs before they go live. I got my preorder this afternoon and immediately went in my craft room to experiment. I think I'm a little rusty...

I really like the clear tiny treat boxes (that's what the Treat Tubes are in). They even come with protective plastic on them, so they don't get scratched up in transit! Leave it to Stampin' Up! to be on top of the details! These samples are using the Spooky Night DSP, Pumpkin Pie Card Stock, Memento Ink Pad, Basic Black and Peekaboo Peach Baker's Twine. (M&Ms sold separately)

Happy Valentine's Day Blog Candy!

Hello Stampers!
Happy Valentine's Day! One of the display samples at our Spring Fling was this wonderfully creative Valentine Sampler. I just totally fell in love with it. Our group of demos are so talented!

I think the Foxy Friends using the Fox Builder punch square is pretty ingenious! What is your favorite part of this sampler? Leave me a comment below to be entered for some blog Candy, appropriate for Valentine's Day, right? Winner will receive the Falling in Love
Embellishments from the Occasions catalog. Commenters names will be entered into the List Randomizer and Winner will be chosen on Thursday night. 

Sale-A-Bration Second Release coming February 21st! Contact me today to get your copy!

I can't believe that Valentine's Day is a few days away. Where does the time go? I've been busy making treat bags using January's Paper Pumpkin kit, Adoring Arrows. I'll be giving these out to co-workers, friends and family. They're super cute!

So last weekend I attended Spring Fling, a get together of our wonderful group of Stampin' demos. We get to do make and takes, have hands on learning for new products, learn new tips and techniques, catch up with friends and there are door prizes! Plus there are soooo many samples of cards and projects to get inspiration from!

Here are a few pictures of the sample tables

These are some alternate project ideas for 2 recent Paper Pumpkin kits

This is a card we made for a service project which will be sent to newly deployed servicemen/women.

 

As a thank you to a fellow demo who helped me out with a past Paper Pumpkin kit stamp set I made this cute little candy tin for her and filled it with miniature organic candy bars.

OnStage Local

Hi Stampers!
Just back from OnStage Local yesterday! I had such a fun time! What is OnStage you ask? Its actually the new way convention is being offered by Stampin' Up!

"OnStage is a global event held every April and November and coincides with the launch of our annual and occasions catalogs. This event rotates every six months in three of our international markets, which means that OnStage Live will be held in your market every eighteen months.

What does it include?
OnStage Live is two-and-a-half days of exciting Stampin’ Up! activities. Attendees will be the first to get their hands on the new catalog, see, touch, and make projects with new products, hear company announcements from the corporate team before anyone else, and get a chance to network with other Stampin' Up! demonstrators. You'll even be able to participate in a Product Purchase Premiere--which means that you can order from a selection of new products before anyone else!"
~Stampin' Up!

So, I got to meet up with good friends and fellow demonstrators. We are such a close knit group and we all support each other in any way we can! When we get together its always memorable!

We got to preview the upcoming Occasions and Sale-A-Bration catalogs and “play” with several of the products from the new product collections offered in the catalogs. We made a few samples and shared an amazing time with friends! Just another reason to join our family! Ask me if your interested!

When we get together we share card and 3-D swaps and gifts. Here are a few of the super cute pieces I got:

Its that time of year...

Hello stampers!
I've been tied up taking care of my senior dog, Missy, who has seizures. She'll be 12 next month and she's had a lot of them lately. Unfortunately they're starting to take their toll on her, so I've been spending as much of my time with her as I can.

While I was on Facebook I came across a fellow German demonstrator Katja Ettig's post using the spooky items from the SU Holiday catalog and if I had the time I would have done this myself! Its so great! Check it out:

You can see more on her blog:

Oh her site is in German but I would be happy to help if you want information on the products used!

P.S. Right now there is a DSP promotion...buy 3 get one FREE
