same but different


Happy tuesday,


Here's a card that you may recognize from a few months ago....I made a card at my downline's Open House but realized as I was updating my sample board that it had retired colours/paper on it...so I just made the same layout but with Bella Bleu DSP instead....super easy and quick layout, don't you think?

The cards begin...

Hello again,

So I've got some new cards to share...I'll start with one simple one today.

It uses the set Embrace Life and the sentiment from Upsy Daisy. Rich Razzleberry polka dot ribbon finishes it off...Dazzling Diamonds are on the flower but hard to make out in the picture.

Thanks for dropping by, stay tuned for more pic's

New Catalog Kick Off Party!

Good Morning! Happy Saturday!

I just wanted to share some pictures from my New Catalog Kick Off party that I hosted this past Wednesday! It was a great turnout and I was so happy to see so many of you! 23 ladies were able to come out and visit, stamp and eat some munchies. Congratulations to the ladies that won door prizes too!

If someone brought a new friend then they both got to choose out of my basket of goodies.


OK, for the life of me I couldn't get this picture to upload the normal way! I took it and it displays normal on my camera and the computer but when I upload here its sideways! Arhhhh glitches. Anyway I thought you'd still get the idea :) Each lady got a wrapped chocolate bar as a thank you gift for coming. I used my Big Shot and the large Scallop, some ass't ribbon and the Oval All stamp set and scallop oval punch. Making 30 of these went quite quickly as I had my helper, Kylie. She did all the Big Shot cutting for me while I did the ribbon.






Another project Kylie and I made was wrapping the Lindt chocolate with label stickers. I stamped in the New In Colours on a label sheet with my Fifth Avenue Floral and then Kylie and I wrapped each little chocolate with a label. YOu could do this with any occasion - it really looks special :)














The 2 make n' takes. With up to 30 woman coming into my house and I to really think about this. I've never done this many at one time. Anyway I loved this idea on saw on another blog a few weeks ago. I especially loved it as I had the Box #2 Die already! I just ordered some In Colour 12x12 cardstock and I was ready to go.
Each lady got to choose their paper and polka dot in colour ribbon.

Lastly is the card. Everyone agreed it was a nice, easy layout to use in the future. On In Colours used. As well as Upsy Daisy stamp set.

Everything went really smoothly and I was happy to find homes for most of my retired items. Now I have some $$ to play with ordering some NEW product...oh how to narrow down my wish list! Anyway thanks for stopping by,

Happy Stampin'

Dormant List

Unfortunately, there's never quite enough room in the Stampin' Up! catalogue to put ALL the stamps that are available -- they want to fill it as much as possible with new goodies! So for your convenience, here's a list of all available DORMANT LIST items :) Clicking on the stamp set names will open them up in the Online store, so you can view the images. You can still order all these items, they're just not in the current catalog.

a new toy

Howdy,

Since the last 2 posts focused on Kylie I thought i'd share a few recent pictures of my other kiddies. At a garage sale yesterday we found this great push car for Jacob. He LOVEs it and as you can see from Megan's face she got going a wee bit fast! I love the real expressions captured in these photo's...not a cheesy posed face!

K






She's looking sooo grown up in this picture! What a beauty!

Ballerina Kylie

Hi there,
Well as you can see it was a busy few weeks with my youngest gal.....Here are some shots of Kylie on the day of her Ballet recital......can you spot anything odd in any of these pictures LOL!!!!






What happened to my beautiful ballerina posture???? Can legs even bend that way???? This was at the finale of the recital when all the girls were on stage.....What a proud Momma :)
