It's Time!

For all of you who have been anxiously awaiting the arrival of the NEW Holiday Mini Catalog....it's here! I know a lot of you are excited to get your Simply Scorin' tool!

EVERYONE IS INVITED....

I have had a lot of you that have projects and things you would like to work on WITH ME! I am flattered! In a round about way I've decided that this Friday from 1 pm-midnight will be open stamp day at my house!

You will need to bring anything you need to work on your projects including adhesive, paper cutter, and ink. I will have my big shot and all of my stamps out for you to use! Plus I will be available for questions if needed! That means....if you are wanting to cut fabric for bows or blankets....come on over!

I am asking that everyone bring a treat to share....healthy or sweet you decide! I welcome you to bring your children to play with mine as long as you promise to be responsible for them:) Please bring any extra snacks or drinks they may need and please please please be willing to clean up any mess your child helps to create!

I am so excited to see all of you! Please let me know if you are planning on coming so I can provide a seat and a stamping spot for everyone! Bring a friend if you want!

Lollie Wreath Class

You asked for it....here are the details!

Vegas Baby!

Lisa, Chelsey, Shelli, and Haley

Above: Look at the pile of purses and scrapbook bags we had amongst the three of us!

I just got back from an action packed weekend to LAS VEGAS! What for? Stampin' Up! Regional Convention! The conference was held at Lake Las Vegas, which was breath taking! And guess what? I finally got that coveted picture with Shelli Gardner (co founder and CEO of Stampin' Up!). Funny place that I met Shelli? In the bathroom! We learned LOTS and LOTS of cute projects, tips, and a few things that I think we all should've known already but didn't! I can't wait for my upcoming classes to share with you. Every demonstrator loves "swapping" at a convention because it brings so many ideas to the table. Swapping is where you take cards you've made and swap them with the other attendees. I took 55 this time....so I came home with 55 beautiful cards made by other demonstrators. The ideas you can get from a swap are ENDLESS. The HIGHLIGHT of my trip had to be....the swap contest that was judged by the Stampin' Up! team. Everyone submitted one of their swaps to be displayed and judges...GUESS WHO WON!? That's right? ME!!! Wanna see a picture of my card? TOO BAD! I traded them all away! My stamp clubbers will be making one to take home this month!:) I won a $50 Stampin' Shopping Spree! YAY FOR FREE STAMPS!

--Sorry if this post sounds like it rambles on. One of the perks of Vegas is the mass amount of sleep you get while you are there. Just kidding....we slept for three hours the night of the convention and we aren't even partiers! Ha! Look how sleepy I look!

Hello Lollie!

Look at this pretty baby! My favorite comment after 9 hours of labor on this girl was when my husband walked in and said "oh....nice!" My stamping BFF and I almost cried. These puppies are a beaut... but are definatley a "lollie" of love. I need one of these for every holiday for every room! Will I be doing a class for this? Keep watching!

August Club!

Sorry about the sideways picture....but I am way too sleepy to fix it:) Want to learn how we made these? Come to stamp club! Email me if you are an out of towner and we can still work you in! Click on the tab at the to of the page "join the club."
