Hi Stampers!

Whenever I get ready to go an event like a Regional, I sit down at my craft table and create a bunch of potential swaps.  Sometimes I reproduce them all, sometimes I just choose one.  For the Baltimore regional that I attended a couple of weeks ago, I had designed 4 potential swaps, but I only had the time to mass produce one of them.  To see which swap made the final cut, click HERE.

This was one of my potential swaps using my favorite flower set - Fabulous Florets!


It's a very simple design but has a lot of collage stamping!

Hi Stampers!

Today will be the last live post I make while I'm still in this country!  I'm heading out to Italy for vacation!  YAAAAAYYYY!!!!!

I will try to schedule some posts ahead of time to post on the blog while I'm away.  That way you will still have some stamping projects to look at while I'm gone.  :-)

If you wish to place an order while I am away, please do so on my online store.  I will not be able to place orders for you while I'm away.  If you have any issues with orders, please send me an email and I will take care of them as soon as I get back.  

To stay up to date with any promotions that may begin while I'm away please check the SU Homepage (http://www.stampinup.com/home/).

Now on to today's card.  This card is 100% a CASE.  Sadly, I do not know who created this little gem! If it was you, please let me a comment so I can give you credit!  I had gone to an event my upline was holding and she had displays set up of the swaps she received at the Leadership event.  This card was one of them so I snapped a quick pic on my phone and recreated it at home.  Here is the picture of the card that I made for my cousin's birthday!

Hi Stampers!

I spent Friday night and all day Saturday down in Baltimore, MD for the Stampin' Up! East Coast Spring Regional.  These events are always a ton of fun.  And the swapping!  Oh, the swapping!  So much fun.  I didn't have a whole lot of free time to create tons of swaps.  I only made 24, but that was enough for me.  I received such beautiful work in return.  I also had one lady tell me that she was hoping she could find me to swap with because she liked my design.  I was so happy about that because my design aesthetic tends to be on the clean and simple side and I always think that others like very heavily embellished cards.  Anyway, it made me so happy!  I also got to meet Shannon West, who I love, and Brian Pilling.  I was very starstruck.  My fellow demos would understand!

I also got a peek at a bunch of new products from the upcoming catalog and I got to see all of the new In Colors for 2013-2015.  You are not going to be disappointed!  The new catalog goes live on June 1st!

I stayed right in the Inner Harbor and here is the view from the top floor of my hotel.

Hi Stampers!

Another week begins!  This week I have flowers galore - all of the cards will be featuring the new flower stamp sets.

Don't forget that today is the last day of Free Shipping on any order!!!  Make sure your orders are in by 9PM tonight (EST) to qualify for the free shipping.

On to today's card!  It's a simple one layer card, but with the right embellishments and stamping, you can make a card that really pops!

Hi Stampers!

It's Friday!  I'm so excited to have a nice, relaxing weekend ahead of me to craft and stamp.  I am hoping to get a lot of stamping, scrapbooking, and crocheting done this weekend!  Want to join me?  Come on over!  :-)

Today is the first post of many that I have featuring the Best of Flowers stamp set.  I am using a much neglected (and soon to be retired) color - Not Quite Navy!


There were a ton of announcements made this week at Stampin' Up!  The two most exciting ones are the free shipping weekend and the Color Refresh!

Hi Stampers! 

Well here we are, the middle of the week!  To get us through rest of the work week, I have a bright and cheerful birthday card to share with you!



Stampin' Up! has released the April Best of 25 Years stamp set - Best of Butterflies!  Check out the Best of 25 tab above for more information on how you can purchase this set and how you can earn a FREE stamp set!  I have a lot of cards that I made with the Best of Flowers stamp set, so stay tuned to the blog because you are not going to want to miss these cards!!!!



I also just got my This and That bundle and I can wait to dig in and start capturing my memories!  Wait until you see it, the papers are gorgeous and the pages in the journal are just so cool!  Remember that the bundle price is only available in April.  If you want to purchase the items when the new catalog goes live, they will be sold individually at the list price.  I'm hoping that I will have some samples to show you before I leave for vacation.
