Last night was our December Downline meeting. We always have such a great time at our meetings. I really look forward to them each month. I wanted to give them each something special to show my appreciation for them. I gave each one a Stampin Up Clear Block engraved with their name. They turned out amazing. I should have taken pictures of the blocks before I wrapped them. Their blocks all say "Hand made by" with their name. This is … [Read more...] about Our Downline Holiday Party

Did you know it’s only 17 days until Christmas? Have you started making your Christmas cards yet? If not, don’t worry, you still have time to make something quick and easy. And, that’s what I have for you today… a card that is quick and easy to make. To make this card, you’ll want to start by stamping the moon, house, and trees at the bottom of your card.

Seasonal Chums Snowman
Happy Monday! Today I'm sharing a quick Christmas card that you can easily replicate. This card uses so many cute things from the Holiday Mini Catalog, like the Seasonal Chums stamp set and the beautiful black and white striped ribbon. The black and white ribbon is going to be retired at the end of the Holiday Mini Catalog. If you've seen the Holiday Clearance Sale, you might have noticed the ribbon is not discounted and likely will not be … [Read more...] about Seasonal Chums Snowman
You Are Missing Out
Last night was our monthly Downline Meeting for my group. And if you weren't there, you are missed out on seeing all the brand new goodies they gave us at OnStage (our Stampin Up Convention) last week.

Today's project is my swap from our meeting last night and our theme was … [Read more...] about You Are Missing Out
Tag Your It
If the teens in your life are anything like the ones I know, then the preferred gifts are gift cards or cash at the Holidays. I struggle with just giving them a gift card or cash because it seems so impersonal. But ultimately, it is what they really want. My daughter says a gift card to her favorite store is really like getting two gifts. The first gift is receiving the gift card and the second is being able to go to the store and pick out … [Read more...] about Tag Your It

Thanks To You
One year ago, I decided to make the serious commitment to Blog on a regular, consistent basis. I knew I wanted a place to share my creations and hopefully inspire you to make something. When I started, I didn't know what I was doing most of the time and it took me so much longer to do everything. I continued to plug away, figuring out things as I went along. I won't kid you and say this is easy because it isn't. It really takes planning … [Read more...] about Thanks To You
