This week I'm sharing more goodies from the upcoming Holiday Catalog, which begins this Thursday September 1st. Today, I have two different Halloween cards, which use the Spooky Fun stamp set and Halloween Scenes Edgelits dies. You can purchase both together as a bundle or separately. The first card uses the brand new Halloween Night Specialty Paper, which I layered with the Pumpkin Pie Glimmer Paper. The banner is from the Sweet Home stamp … [Read more...] about Spooky Fun

Thank You!
With the kids getting ready to go back to school (already?), finding out my son's car won't pass the smog test (ugh), and packing for a camping trip (oh boy!) ... I am super short on time this week. What can I say? When it rains, it pours. I just wanted to pop in and tell you that you are the friend everyone wishes they had! This card is actually the one I'm using for my most recent round of Customer Thank You cards. Wondering how to get in … [Read more...] about Thank You!
More Swirly Birds
Periodically for our Downline Meeting, we’ll all agree to make swaps using the same stamp set. For July’s meeting, we all used the Swirly Bird stamp set. I am amazed every single time we do this. Our swaps always turn out so different. This first card is mine. I shared it a couple weeks ago here. This is Poli’s card. I love how she inked the waves. This is Margo’s card. Our new By The Shore pattern paper goes so well with the … [Read more...] about More Swirly Birds
Five Minute Friday – Bella & Friends
Being a Stampin Up Demonstrator has some perks, like being able to buy products before they are released to the public and earning free products and free vacations just to name a few. But did you know that the top sellers in the Company get a very special perk? When you reach $1,000,000 in sales, you get to design your own stamp set, which will then appear in a future catalog. How cool is that! Today's stamp set was designed by Angie Juda and … [Read more...] about Five Minute Friday – Bella & Friends
Clear Treat Boxes
I have to admit, I didn’t even notice these little 2"x2" treat boxes the first time I went through my catalog. But then I saw that the current Artisan team was using them last month in their Blog Hop and I knew I had to get them on my next order. These fun little boxes are a great size to give someone a little treat without having to buy tons of stuff to fill a big box. They make a nice thank you to someone who did something for you that you … [Read more...] about Clear Treat Boxes
Five Minute Friday – Balloons!
Today’s post is going to be short and sweet since my to-do list is growing at an exponential pace. Literally. For every one item I cross off, at least three more items get added. My to-do list is like bunnies – multiplying in the blink of an eye. So, I really needed a card that can be made in five minutes today. Thank goodness it just happens to be Five Minute Friday. Kind of serendipitous how that worked out. :) When it comes to the … [Read more...] about Five Minute Friday – Balloons!
Pin-spiration
I love Pinterest. When I first started using Pinterest, I was on it ALL. THE. TIME. No, seriously I was. Just ask my friends who followed me on Pinterest. I had to quit cold turkey several years ago when I realized I had over 20,000 pins. No, that is NOT a typo. I spent crazy amounts of time spent pinning. Obviously. The past several months I have been easing back into Pinterest because I love the purpose that it serves. Pinterest is an … [Read more...] about Pin-spiration
Only 150 More Days Until…
Christmas! Do you know why we associate the poinsettia with Christmas? The plant's association with Christmas began in 16th-century Mexico with a story about a little girl. She looked forward to the annual Christmas festival but could not afford to buy a gift to take to the festival. On Christmas Eve, she set out for church to attend the service and picked some weeds along the way. She placed the weeds in the manger as her gift to the baby … [Read more...] about Only 150 More Days Until…
