Everything is Awesome!

There is so much excitement going on at Stampin' Up right now!  I just got my January Paper pumpkin kit and it is SO CUTE!  I will be crafting all night!  whoo hoo!  It is still Sale-a-bration and you can get a free goodie from the Sale-a-bration catalog when you spend over $50.00.  Also, like my friend who is having a party with me if you reach over $250.00 you can get an extra $25.00 in Hostess dollars to spend.  Or if you want to sign up with me to be a Stampin' Up demonstrator you can get another FREE item!  I am going to have to stop using so many exclamation points.  I am just going to leave you with today's weekly deals.  They will be good until next Monday at midnight.

Gratitude!

I was busy this morning writing thank you cards!  I had a bunch to write because last week I was in the hospital and lots of people helped my family in my absence.  There was a lot to be thankful for and I wanted to make sure that I adequately thanked those who were so helpful!  I made this card!

I started out with a card base of sahara sand.  I really like the Early Espresso color in the Neutrals collection is such a rich, deep brown! I really like to use it.  I bought the baker's twine in the same color!  Also, the embossing folder Large Polka Dots really brings the circle theme full circle! (Haha!  See what I did there...full circle.) I think the stamp set is wonderful!  It has so many sentiments in it!  You can make a lot of different cards with it! Something to say includes stamps for thank you cards, new babies, wedding, birthday and love cards!  Whew!

Finally, if you really like the look of punches and stamps this stamp set works well with the punch set called Itty Bitty Accents punch pack. Notice the flower on the card I made last week.

 I love making cards for all reasons and would love to help you make some yourself!  Who do you need to thank today?

Contain the valentines!

I am a horrible planner!  It is something I am really trying to work on this year.  (No, I did not say resolution)  So I have been looking ahead to Valentines day to make sure that I have the proper products to make my holiday the Cutest Eva!

Perhaps, you want to give a gift card!  Coffee, iTunes, a nice restaurant are all great cards to give for the holiday!  The envelope punch board is a very easy way to package your gift card super cute and looking sharp.   The pirate design on the left I made the envelope just the right size for a gift card.  On the right, I made the super cute fry box from my big shot and the fry box Bigz L die.  This is a good idea to fill with candy or small toys.  If you really plan ahead you can use it for Easter with Easter grass!  I would love to demonstrate these two products to you and a group of friends!  Let's get together to have a class!   Of course, let's not forget the stamp set!  It is the super cute, Hey, Valentine in the Occasions Catalog on page 8!  

Questions!  Ask me in the comments!  I hope you have a great day and I am going to go work on some super videos for my blog!  You guys should take advantage of the Sale-A-Bration catalog and get a FREE item for every $50.00 (pre-tax) you spend!

Let's Color!

Oh my goodness!  I really enjoy coloring!  I find it very relaxing.  When was the last time you got out some paper and markers and really spent some slow time coloring?  I highly recommend it!  Stampin' Up has these great alcohol based markers called blendabilities.  There are many reasons they are superior!  First of all, they come in sets of three so you can blend your work and show shadows or depth.  Second of all, they are a great price.  Another reason they are the best is they come in the colors of Stampin' Ups color groups.  Finally, the best reason is you can get them for FREE from the Sale-a-Bration catalog!    Please let me know you want to get together to try some!

Happy Epiphany!

Today is the Feast of the Epiphany!  That is the day we celebrate that the wise men came to see the Baby Jesus!  If you think about it today is the day we should be opening our Christmas presents.  Do you think you could have waited?  Stampin' Up is giving us a present starting today!  Sell-A-Bration is ON!  For the next three months, you can get a free stamp set or product for every $50.00 in product that you purchase.  (pre-tax, of course!)  If you need paper, adhesive, tools, ink or stamp sets you will get an item for free when you spend $50.00!  Please take a moment to look through the catalogs on the side bar of my blog!  I would love to help you plan some projects for St. Valentine's day and other spring holidays!  Enjoy your day and I'll have a project to share tomorrow!
