I am lovin' the new In Color Ribbons!   Several of my loyal customers have asked for a ribbon share – so, here it is! 

You will get 3 yards each of these gorgeous ribbons in all of the wonderful new In Colors (remember, they will be here for 2 years!).  To purchase all of these ribbons individually it would cost $52.72.  Purchase a share for $10.95!  If you want it shipped to you, add $2.  What a deal!  Shares are a wonderful way if you HAVE TO HAVE IT ALL!!!! 

ohhhh lalala!!!!!   Check out this sneak peak of the Holiday Mini Catalog starting Sept 1!!!! 

I am VERY excited about this exciting addition to the Stampin' Up! product line.  The opportunities are tremendous with the coordinating designer series paper and fabric.   Watch my calendar for additional classes coming this fall that focus on fabrics – now, you say, I'm not a sewer – DON"T worry.  Jump on the "I'm excited!" bandwagon as I will show you FABULOUS projects that will make lovely gifts and home decor items for your upcoming holiday season!   Trust me!  

Remember to watch my website for upcoming classes!

You will be “wow’d” by this fabulous project! Use for any occasion, since spring colors coordinate with any event. Not a scrapbooker? TRY IT ANYWAY!! This is a quick and easy way to test-run the hobby!  Plus, I think the simply scrappin' kits are one of the best values in the catalog.  Check them out on page 178 of the 2010-2011 Idea Book & Catalog!  Not a scrapbooker?  Here are several reasons why you should attend this class;

• Thinker – if you are thinking of doing some scrapbooking for a trip, a special event (wedding, birth, etc) – this is a quick and easy way to get started.  Everything is provided for you in the Simply Scrappin' Kit
• Gifter – This makes a FABULOUS gift for a wedding or baby shower.  With the holidays coming up, you could create yours with the Chrismas Cheer simply scrappin' kit.  This would be a perfect place to put those picture Christmas cards!
• Scrapbooker - a mini album that is soooo stinkin' cute, you'll love the pattern you'll receive as part of the class. 

Are you excited?   Here are the class details;  Monday, August 23 6:30pm   Cost is $22 and you'll get a Simply Scrappin' Kit with your class fee.  Please note that I have to order your Simply Scrappin' Sets in advance so, late registrations will not work!  Please register no later than Aug 17. 

Visiting Stampin' Up!'s home office was a highlight on my recent trip to convention.  Especially since my downline and I were given the opportunity for a VIP tour!   One of the best highlights is their idea rooms – check out these highlights! 

 Isn't it amazing what can be done with Stampin' Up! products, a little paper or fabric?   (Fabrice – yep check it out!   Coming soon to the mini catalog near you!)  While I have a great desk – the one in the picture looks soooo inviting!  The fireplace just speaks to me of relaxed time with a cup of tea and a nice warm fireplace.  The bedroom – hmmmm, my niece just painted her walls pink – I think I need to encourage her to try ou the flower touches – they look so great!  I hope you feel as inspired as I do when I see pics like this!

Check out these adorable creations!  Don't you wish you were in one of my hostess clubs so that you could have made them for free?  I always have room for more so, come and check it out!

Just Believe – a great new stamp set!  Check it out on page    .   One of the best qualities of this stamp set is that you can use it for feminine or masculine cards.  Plus it has some greetings with it.  You will find this stamp set available in clear and wood mount.  Other adorables on this card include;

• Presto Patterns specialty paper (I brayered it in certainly celery)   p
• Blushing Bride cardstock and ribbon (it's one of the In Colors for this 2 year period!)  p
• BEST new accessories!   Half back pearls. . . they are complete with a glue dot on the back – SO easy to use!  

If you haven't yet – you really need to order the pearl and rhinestone embellishments.  You will find them on p    of the catalog. 

Order here!

This is my favorite new embossing folder – ONLY $7.95!   See the embossing folders on p    .   This one is called Elegant Lines.  Here I have paired it with the Perfect Punches stamp set  (p     ).   This stamp set is worth checking out for the variety of greetings and the usability with our punches.  The colors I used on this care are Soft Suede and Baja Breeze.   You can't see it but, I also spritzed this card with the champagne mist shimmer paint -   ohhhh lalala!

More convention fun!   One of the highlights was being able to go to the home office and pack orders!  It was so cool to have this VIP priviledge!  Above you can see one of my downline, Tatiana – she had a blast!  You can also see Tatiana, Beth and I sitting on stage. . . It was Beth's first time and boy did she have a good time!  Missing from all of these photos is Laura – somehow we missed her in the pics.  The picture of the foursome are some of my bestest Stampin' Up! friends – Lisa (Virginia), Tami (Boston) and Cheryl (Florida).  Stampin' Up! has given me the opportunity to have cherished friendships from across the country.  What a great perk for a great part-time job! 

Ok, I know it's been a bit since I posted.  Believe me, I have started several times!   Had a BLAST at convention.  TONS of ideas.  If you are havin' a party in the near future, looking for wedding favors or have a sweet tooth – this post is for you!

Yum Yum!   Don't you love what you can do with paper, sizzix die cuts, embossing folders and a little creativity?  LOVE it!   Check out the house. . . . seen it before?    Nope – sneak peak of what is coming in the awesome Holiday Mini catalog!    This house reminds me sooo much of ones my grandma used to make – of course her's were made of hardened frosting and she had an entire village – I am excited about this one. . . . can't wait for my pre-order to arrive!
