And Eat it Too! One of the benefits of being a Stampin Up demonstrator, is being with other demonstrators! My Downline Group gets together once a month to swap cards, do a make & take, and talk about current/upcoming Stampin Up business. Remember, what's current for a demonstrator is actually upcoming for customers. We get the benefit of buying products and getting access to specials before the general public. And we get … [Read more...] about Have Your Cake
Have a Cuppa…
This card uses the Tea Shoppe stamp set from the Occassions Mini, and YAY, it made it in the new 2012-13 Catalog.

Get out your Simply Scored, and mark the middle of one side. Using scissors, I cut down from the … [Read more...] about It’s June already and Father’s Day is just around the corner!
Hanging with my gnomies
Are you ready? This is it. The end of the 2011-12 Catalog. I can't believe it's over already. I can't believe so many cute things are going away. Like this set... it's already gone since the Occassions Mini is over and I hardly even used it. I had big plans for these sweet gnomes. I even had a couple of one-line personalized stamps made to go with them. "I'll be gnome for Christmas" was one of them. You did know you … [Read more...] about Hanging with my gnomies
Welcome!
Welcome to my brand new Blog! I'll be posting cards, ideas, tips, tricks, and the occassional yummy goodness! What have I been working on lately? LOTS of cool projects, if I do say so myself!
