Stampin Up Marker Club!

Here is the details but basically the marker club allows you to purchase the 48 Stampin' Write markers in the storage caddy over a period of four months instead of having to purchase it all at once.

Each club member makes a commitment to pay $46.00 per month for four months.

In exchange, every month each member receives 12 stampin' write markers from one of
Stampin' Up!'s permanent color families and the coordinating pack of 8.5x11
assorted card stock (3 sheets of each color in the color family).

In the fourth month each member also receives the marker caddy, a pack of 8.5x11 assorted
neutrals card stock, and a Level 1 hostess set of her choice.

So let me know if you are interested in joining!!

Stamper's 6 Stamp Club Projects !

Ok, so I told you all how I signed back up for Stampin Up and Last Saturday I hosted a party at my house. I am trying to organize a Stamper's 6 Club and so what better way to organize sign-ups than a get together! I had quite a turn out & everyone was so great! I met 3 new ladies & had a blast!! Here are some of the projects we made:

1st is One of the Cards from Stampin Up's Simple Sent Card Elements & more kits!
OMGOSH; LUV THESE!!! Just wish there were more than 8 cards in the kit.
This is from 2U Card Elements & More:
Next I really wanted to use my Brand New Eastern Blooms Set & the Baja Breeze Cardstock (which I think is sooooooooo pretty!)
Lastly; I saw this design on SCS and fell in love! My friend; Lisa, whose club month is March; loves Kraft Cardstock so, I ran with it. I think the Real Red & Basic Black with the Kraft are classic. I also broke out my new jar of Clear Embossing Powder & we used that on the black.
I can't wait to figure out next month's designs!! Remember it is Sale-A-Bration until the end of the month!!

Happy St Patrick's Day Major Giveaway!!

Holy Moley! You seriously need to check out my cyber~friend Dawn's Blog Candy!
She is giving away 18 Studio G stamp sets!! St. Patty's ones! WOO HOO!!! Tell her I sent ya & best of luck to all; may you win the Pot of GOLD (ok, stamps but they are like gold right??)

My Valentine's Day Card for Hubby and Present to myself!

So, a while back Unity Stamps was offering free shipping & a gift if you bought by midnight! I finally gave in and purchased So & so Loves........knowing it would make a perfect Valentine's Day card. I used my Copics basically for the first time & so I experimented a lot on the different trees. I had like 15 minutes to make this card before the hubby got home. I am happy with it. I was pissed though; because I could not find my Cuttle bug plates (and as a matter of fact; I still haven't; ugh!)
I had planned on using Swiss dots halfway up the pink but whatever he probably would not of noticed anyways. However; He did notice our initials so; that made me happy.
And as for my prezzie...................WELL, I SIGNED BACK UP AS A STAMPIN' UP DEMO!
I am so super excited!!! I will be having a Stampin' Club And will post details here!! It will be a 6 month commitment and you will need to spend at least $25.00 each month & one of the 6 months you get ALL the Hostess Benefits! Again super excited! Hope you like the card & email me if you are interested in club!

Ready for Easter??

So, Michelle over at The Card Grotto is Celebrating 100, 000 HITS!!!!
Head over for a chance at some super cute candy & Elyzbells !!

A ton of Thank you's for an awesome reason!

I was thinking that this seriously must of been fate for a number of reasons.
1. I have been in a total life funk.
2. I haven't stamped in FOREVER
3. I haven't really been out of the house, Unless you count running my 5 boys all over.
4. I needed to hang out with my friends! (Diana, Lisa, Lauren, & Sharon was there too!)
5. Jen tells us people need a pick me up! Fate I tell ya!

Anyways; I have no idea how Lisa & I even got on the track of this but we were looking at my Fab Mentor's (Diana's) Blog & said...."Let's see if we can go to her 10/10/20 class"
Diana; of course said SURE! And away we went!
It was much needed girl time, wayyyyyyyyy overdue!

Well, Also on that night of Blog Surfing I came across this on Jen's Blog (LUV THE NEW LOOK!) I mean really?? Over $450.00 worth of goodies just by brightening someones day with a card I made?? NO Brainer! ( You only have till the 31st if you want to join in) So here are a few of the cards I made & have mailed out to Julie at DBU:





All Products used are Stampin Up ! except the Cuttlebug Folder used on card #2.

Blogger's Picture Challenge!

I was Challenged by Cheri (HI!) to play along & I hope you all will too!

The rules for this challenge are - Go to where you store your photos on your computer. Go to the SIXTH folder and pick the SIXTH photo. Post that photo on your blog along with a SHORT story about it. Tag SIX people and leave a comment on their blog or email them letting them know you chose them.
Ok; so isn't he the cutest?? My Dad gave me the Turkey Inserts to create a centerpiece for our Thanksgiving Festivities; which he purchased at a street fair. Well, I have to tell you after Halloween it seems Pumpkins in AZ are hard to come by! I went to 6 Michael's looking for a fake one so I could reuse, reuse. I ended up at Safeway & all they had were these Fairytale Pumpkins. I fell in love! IT WAS so different & so perfect. I will be looking for the same pumpkin next year or should I say this year, lol!
