Happy Friday! I'm so happy it's almost the weekend. How about you? Even though most activities and places still aren't open, I still seem to busy all the time. And that's why I'm just getting around to mailing out my July Customer Thank You cards. Yikes! What am I doing with all my time? Even though I'm super late sending these, I still appreciate my customers. In good news, I have started the August Thank You cards. I hope to have those … [Read more...] about Always Grateful
New At SU-Fall Gold
Welcome to our NEW AT SU! Blog hop! We are a group of Stampin’ Up! demonstrators from around the world who are Hoppin’ with creative paper crafting ideas to share with you. Today we are showcasing products from the August-December Stampin’ Up! Catalog. I'm back today to share another Fall Decor piece. I found these simple wood stands at a local store and I thought it would be fun to switch out the decor seasonally. The stand came in a natural … [Read more...] about New At SU-Fall Gold
Paper Pumpkin Storage
Today in the US, we are celebrating Labor Day, which means it's a day off work for me since my office is closed. It's so nice to have an extra day off. Gives me lots of time to catch up on my Stampin Up work. Or, have an extra day to relax. Actually, the extra day gives me a chance to catch up on cleaning and organizing the craft studio. Periodically, I get asked how I store my Paper Pumpkin kits that come every month. First, I really do my … [Read more...] about Paper Pumpkin Storage
August Paper Pumpkin
August's Paper Pumpkin kit, World's Greatest, is a fun kit to celebrate those everyday heros in our lives. This kit makes nine cards, three each of three designs. I love the little gold statue card. Such a cute way to tell a friend that they are the world's greatest. Plus that shaker card with the gold sequin stars is a lot of fun. If you missed out on August, you still have time to sign up to get September's kit, Hello Pumpkin. This kit … [Read more...] about August Paper Pumpkin
Leaders Summit Recap
I was supposed to be in New Orleans this past week at Stampin Up's first annual Backstage event for leaders. Unfortunately, Covid changed all that months ago and Stampin Up converted the event to a Leaders Summit online. I was initially disappointed that I wasn't going to see friends in person. However, as we got closer to the past weekend, it became abundantly clear that all things happen for a reason since we would have likely been cancelled … [Read more...] about Leaders Summit Recap

Out With The Old and In With The New
Our new Annual Catalog revealed our brand new die cut machine, the Stampin' Cut & Emboss, to be released at some point this year. It was available starting August 4th for Demonstrators and I've been test driving it for the last few weeks. So far, this looks like a great replacement to my old Big Shot machine. I loved that old machine, but after twelve years of very heavy duty use, it bit the dust a few months ago. I'm so excited to have a … [Read more...] about Out With The Old and In With The New
I Thought Of You
I'm stuck on a Fall kick lately. So, here's one more Fall card... Today's card uses the Love of Leaves bundle again. I love the clean and simple look of these leaves. And the Gilded Autumn paper is so pretty. You can also see just a hint of the Brushed Metallic paper in between the two pattern papers. I used the copper color metallic paper to match the copper ribbon. I promise I'll move on to some other things soon, but I might have just … [Read more...] about I Thought Of You
