I was busy visiting with the ladies at my card class tonight. . . we were talking about swaps I am taking to leadership next week. I'm a little behind in being ready so. . . . we were making samples up for me to consider as swaps. This is a sample that we voted in;
It uses the P.S. I Love You stamp set from the Occasions Mini Catalog. 2 punches; Full Heart and Heart to Heart, the new labels Framelits Die and the Heart Embosslet from the mini catalog.
Plus a color combination that I haven't used in a while; Rose Red and Regal Rose. Paired with Basic Grey – I like it.
I am loving the new paper doily die. Check out this great video from Stampin' Up! about it. Isn't that card gorgeous? Here's a card that I made using the doily die – love it!!!
Don't forget about the wonderful classes coming up. Check them out HERE!

This could be one of your make-n-takes. It's really a simple card showcased by the gorgeous paper that is a FREE item during Sale-a-Bration! Everyday Enchantment has me very enchanted! I paired it with a little ribbon accent and a few flowers from the Boho Blossoms punch. The greeting is stamped on the banner from the Take it to Heart stamp set.
So, if you attended my classes this week, you heard that Apothecary Art is one of my new favorite stamp sets – I know it is a little out of my normal "love" category but, a girl can always adjust can't she? So, you may be surprised that one of the favorite cards I have made with new things from the Occasions Mini Catalog is today's post. It is one I made for a special swap coming up at Stampin' Up!'s leadership conference in a couple of weeks (San Antonio here I come!).
Don't you wish you were swapping with me? The main stamp set on this card is called Bordering on Romance. I also used the DSP that you get free during Sale-a-Bration! It's called Everyday Enchantment (hint: I'm on my second package of it!). And the best part – it's free! I also used the new framelets dies (lovin' those too).
This post seems to be all about things I am lovin' and I haven't even mentioned my BFF and hubby. Yes, I love him tons too. We recently celebrated our 17th wedding anniversary. I couldn't ask for a better partner. And he sure loves when all of you come over for classes. . . . the girls at class last night gave him a bit of teasing – and he gave it right back.
Make sure you are checking out my classes – they are all updated through the first part of March. You can see them on my facebook or on the events tab here on my website.
OK, I can't hold this in very much longer. My friend Tami shared this snowman with me – and already being in love with Snowman, I couldn't resist! If you love him, make sure you come to my Snowman Love class on Saturday, January 14. Are you ready. . . . to fall in love? Well, here he is, all ready to spring into action;
and are you ready for him to pop right up in full glory? Here he is!
Aren't you just in love!!!! Wait till you see him in person! I think I'll have to keep my sample under lock and key!!! So, what's it going to be? Are you going to come and fall in love with this guy on January 14th?
ohhhh lalala! I was sooo excited to see this Sizzlet in the Occasions Mini Catalog that I just couldn't wait to use it. Then Stampin' Up! sent us a picture of a cool banner. . . and I just knew I had to try it. Now I know – you are going to LOVE this sizzlet. . . . the only warning is that there are lots of snippets that are cut out of this doily!
This is part of man Snowman Love class on January 14 at 9:30am. You'll make this banner – and a stinkin cute snowman that will be showing up here very soon! Plus another 'surprise!'
OK, back to the sizzlet die – can't you just see so many uses for it? Here's a closeup;

Oh boy – I was just out to the clearance rack – you want to get there asap! I was amazed at the deals. For you punch fans – there is tons of punches, current and retired. Ribbon, buttons, and so much more!
Only while supplies last. I was out there and got some paper and ribbon. I also got a 12 x 12 scrapbook for about $8!!!! This clearance rack blitz added over 200 products to the rack – there was more than 10 pages!!!! Up to 80% off – and the sale lasts until Jan 5. I wouldn't wait until the end though!!!!
Here's some inspiration for today. . . . a few last minute Christmas ideas. Let's start with Rudolph. . . . . a little cutie pie he is.
He is Early Espresso cardstock wrapped around a candy bar. Be sure and secure with sticky strip (the woman's form of duck tape). I love the antlers made from the snowflake punch. I actually taped 2 pieces of cardstock together so they are a little sturdier. The Red Glimmer paper is a perfect accent for his nose!!!! Oh, and the bow tie! Gotta love the striped ribbon. OK, here's the scoop the red ribbon and red glimmer paper will be well used for upcoming Valentines projects so, get it now!!
And then there's Frosty. You're gonna be surprised when you read on and see how he is made. He doesn't photograph well in all of his white color but, you see enough to get the idea. He is made from an envelope that has been sealed and has an end cut off to make a pouch. In the pouch, I have slipped a package of hot chocolate – a perfect winter treat after you make your snowman! The hat obviously uses the top note and of course the holly is from the stocking accents die. Nummy!
OK, want to make these guys? Well tonight my downline is getting together for a little Christmas celebration and these are 2 of the projects they will be making. Oh, and if you want a sweeter deal, for TWO DAYS ONLY, I can offer the starter kit for $125! As a leadership attendee at Stampin' Up!, I can give away the starter kit for that price! What a great Christmas gift to yourself – you'll be in on Sale-a-Bration and the Occasions Mini catalog. Think of how long your mini catalog list is – this IS a better deal!!!! And Stampin' Up! will send you a gift every month that you submit an order for the next year! Gotta love the gift that keeps on giving! Now, don't you deserve it? Have you shopped for yourself yet? What better of a sale can you get than $350 worth of Stampin' Up! for only $125? Call me ASAP if you want in on this deal or want to come and check out the fun with my downline tonight!
