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. 

 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!

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! 

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!

From left to right;  Mandy, Grandson Joey, Jim and I, Chrissy.  We had a wonderful weekend celebrating Grandma's birthday.  I got to see all of my siblings – which was very special!

From left to right;  Bonnie from Hastings, Sally from Fort Collins, Dad from Otter tail, MN, me, Bob from Indianapolis, Jim from Terra Haute.

And the queen for the day was Grandma – doesn't she look awesome at 100?

I am about exactly half of grandma's age.  Both of our birthday's are in November – we celebrated early to cooincide with a family reunion and everyone's travel plans.  So, yes – I'll have a BIG birthday this year. 

Yep – another totally different sample than yesterday.  My hostess club crew got to make this creation this month!   Check out the DSP – Newsprint on page 175.  I thought at first that this wouldn't be my style – but, look again!   I love how this just pops off the DSP.  So, lesson to share – don't overlook this gorgeous DSP.  Oh, and music lovers – there is a musical score!

I love this card!  It just looks so sophisticated!  Ingredients used;

• Pear Pizzaz – yep a new In Color, Regal Rose, Very Vanilla, and DSP from Greenhouse Gala
• Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder – p 214 – you know I love them!
• 1/8" taffeta ribbon!  Yes it's narrow but it sure adds the perfect touch to this card!  Check out the colors its available in on p 191
• Friends Never Fade stamp set – p 99

Now if you were going to convention with me – you could get one of these cards as a swap!  Now, you probably aren't going to believe this but, I leave for convention on Tuesday (July 20), and as I am writing this, it is Friday (July 16) . . . . .My SWAPS ARE DONE!!!!   yes, there is a first for everything.  My swaps are finished, packed and ready to go!   Yes, I need to thank my Sis-in-law Carol and my niece Molly – they gave me a little help!   I can't wait to share with you the exciting swaps I get in return!
