I love the launch of a new catalog. While Stampin’ Up! demonstrators have been living with this new book for more than a month, we are all excited to share its wonders with the rest of the world. What fun! There are SO MANY amazing things inside these pages, and I’m certain you’ll wish there were a “one of everything, please” button. 🙂 Stampin’ Up!’s 2017 Annual Catalog It’s here! It’s here! Stampin’ Up!’s 2017…
As we transition from one catalog to another, it’s so easy for all of the information to get muddled – you can panic about what to look at or focus on. Today is the last day of Stampin’ Up!’s 2016-2017 Annual Catalog and 2017 Occasions Catalog, and I want to make sure you know EVERYTHING – well, maybe not everything. I’m going to narrow it down to THREE things you need to know today –…
When my friend Angie decided to host a baby shower for a friend, she contacted me to help her make some of the party favors. With a blue-and-neutrals color scheme for the party, it was easy for me to choose some colors for the project. Angie and Robin really liked the “ready to pop” tie-in to both a bag of popcorn and a baby shower, so we went with that. Easy! Here’s the project we…
This week’s Global Design Project Color Challenge has inspired me to play with two of the brand new Stampin’ Up! stamp sets that you can only earned by cashing in Stampin’ Rewards (dollars you earn and spend when you host of a large party OR when you place a large order that qualifies for benefits – that’s orders over $150). Since the start of the new catalog is just around the corner and since large…
Before I begin today’s post (which technically began when I started this sentence, but you’ll look past that, right?), I want to thank each of you for your kind comments yesterday. I share lots with you and enjoy every minute, but I considered holding yesterday’s personal celebration to myself. I’m grateful for your response and am glad I shared. That event doesn’t define me, but it’s one of the very big moments in my life…
This past week has been filled with “all the feels” – there are so many wonderful things to celebrate and to feel happy about. Earlier this week I shared with you the incredible opportunity I had to share crafting with the foster care families of Georgia’s Division of Families and Children at their annual celebration (you can see that post here). What a thrill! I’m still overjoyed from that day – and now I have…
The card I’m sharing with you today was inspired by the new FabFriday sketch challenge. The sketch gave me a wonderful excuse to play with some of my new supplies from Stampin’ Up!’s 2017 Annual Catalog – as if I really needed an excuse. J The super-sweet sentiment, lovely patterned paper and mix of gorgeous colors are topped off with an adorable, felt bow. I love it! Here’s my card: And here’s the banner for…
Does your heart go pitter-patter when you flip through a new catalog for the first time? Does the excitement of ordering new products make you smile? Do you get teary-eyed when you unpack your boxes of brand new Stampin’ Up! goodies? Well, today might be your day! It’s time for me to roll out my Product Shares and Designer Series Paper Swatch Books for Stampin’ Up!’s 2017 Annual Catalog. What fun! This catalog is filled…
Thank you so much to Deanne K. and the Paper Players team for selecting my card from last week’s challenge as A Cut Above. If you missed my colorful card with Lovely Inside & Out, you can see it here. I love playing with these challenges, but it’s always nice to be recognized. Thanks! My friend Nance Leady is hosting a Clean-and-Simple challenge at the Paper Players this week with a Butterflies theme. How fun! …
This is my second post today – if you missed my post about my day with Foster Care Families, you will want to check it out here. I’m back to share the winner of Sunday’s Blog Candy giveaway – after an overwhelming number of comments, I had to pick one. What fun! Blog Candy Giveaway. Wowza! I love the response to this weekend’s Blog Candy Giveaway! I asked you to share what you are most…
