Downline Party
A week ago, I hosted our Downline Holiday Potluck. We had a such a fun time, but that's no surprise because we always do when we get together. These ladies are wonderful friends and I love that we have Stampin Up in common. For our party, I decorate my studio including putting up a gold tree with glass ornaments and lights. We've got to have something to put our presents under. After the business part of our Downline Meeting, we … [Read more...] about Downline Party
A Christmas Treasure
Shortly after I graduated College (a long, long time ago), I went to a Temp Agency looking for a full time job. I really had nothing specific that I wanted to do, but figured this was a great chance to try something new. Well, at my first assignment, they offered me a full time position and I accepted it. Little did I know at that time where that decision would take me. I met a really great group of ladies at this office. We all got … [Read more...] about A Christmas Treasure
Merry Wreath
A couple years ago, I made this stand to hold a small Spring wreath. And every year when the Holidays roll around, I think to myself "hey, I should make a Winter wreath". Well, I finally got around to it this year. The wood wreath is from a local craft store. I used the Sprig punch from the Holiday catalog to make all the greenery, using four different colors of green. The Sprig punch has been super popular and has been in and out of stock for … [Read more...] about Merry Wreath
November Thank You
The Spirited Snowman stamp set was one of those stamp sets that I just couldn’t wait to purchase, but never got around to using until now. I can’t believe these little cuties have been wasting away in my “to be used” pile for so long. I dug it out of my Holiday Catalog supplies and promised myself I would use it right away. And then it sat there another two weeks. Sheesh. Well, no more! I finally got around to using this adorable set and I’m … [Read more...] about November Thank You
October Thank You
The end of the year is quickly approaching and I’m behind in getting some projects posted before the Holiday Catalog ends. Today’s card is the thank you that I sent to customers that made a purchase from me in October, either online or at an in person event. I also sent this one out to my October Paper Pumpkin subscribers as well since it had been a while since I’d thanked them for their subscription. I really do appreciate my customers. I know … [Read more...] about October Thank You
Tis the Season
For gift-giving! When the kids were little, they would sometimes need Holiday treats to pass out at school. Our elementary school had a rule that all treats had to be individually packaged and store bought - nothing homemade and bagged by us (for allergy purposes). I always liked to dress up the treats. I never wanted to just pass out a bag of candy. Today's treat holder uses the Making Spirits Bright bundle (stamp set and … [Read more...] about Tis the Season

The Holidays are swiftly approaching. That's right, they are right around the corner. Don't blink or you'll miss them. Now it's time to get those Holiday cards made. I've been working on some quick and easy Holiday card ideas to make your card-marking go smoothly and quickly this year. This card uses the Peace & Joy stamp from the Christmas Traditions Punch Box.
