2 cards and frame

2007-05-21T12:24:00.000-06:00

I did the following two cards for my mom and grandma for Mother's Day. I used Both Way Blossoms for the stems with Green Galore cardstock and ink. And mixed Prima Flowers with gold SU! brads and a bit of Stardust Stickles.

In the back is the "Welcome" sign I made for my mother. It's Au Chocolat paper.

Been Busy

Sorry I haven't posted in a while! I've been very busy with non-stamping things.

Stampin' Up! just released the 2007 retired list. I'm very sad to see Roses In Winter go. It was my first set back in early 2003. I love that set but haven't used it in a while. I'm only losing 7 sets, so it's not too bad. I need to get a system together to separate current from retired so I don't have to keep checking every time I want to use something!

I need to order boxes and boxes of Cool Caribbean paper before it's gone. And a case of re-inkers :) I just adore that color. It's so perfect with Delight In Life.

I ordered some coasters this morning. Once I play with them, I'll post pictures :) I have a perfect use for my new Palette O Prints and Au Chocolat paper!

A few items

Here are a few things I've recently made.

This is a milk carton that was made at a Stampers In Stitches meeting. I'm pretty sure it's Marigold Morning paper.

And here is a coaster calendar I made at my upline Carol's Stamp-a-Palooza:

Boxes

I love getting Stampin Up boxes in the mail! I got three boxes from them yesterday for my workshop. Because my workshop was so big, Sell-A-Bration, and my own small order, I got 11 stamp sets! And my Demo kit is supposed to be here tomorrow!

eta: I tried the Crop-A-Dile and it sets like a dream! I never wanted to try eyelets before, but I think they will be in my next order now!

Crop-A-Dile

2007-02-20T14:54:00.000-06:00

After hearing so much about the Crop-A-Dile at Splitcoast Stampers, I had to go find one. My local Michaels did not have one, so I sent my mom on a search. She found out at her Michaels. It's heavy and looks awkward, but it's a dream to punch with. And quiet! She dropped it off to me at work, so I will have to wait till I get home to try it with an eyelet. I have some Stampin Up eyelets at home somewhere...

Yay!

I was busy this weekend, so didn't have a chance to check the email I am using for Stampin Up. I checked it this morning, and as of Saturday, I am a demonstrator! Yay! And I got another email this morning saying that my kit has been shipped! Yay!

Sell-a-bration

2007-02-16T11:11:00.000-06:00

I am loving Sell-a-bration! From my first (and only) party as a hostess, I get three sets. Then my mother ordered enough for one and she's giving me hers. So that's 4 sets. And I am becoming a demo during this time, so I get a free $39.95 set from that, along with the Paisley set from the Spring Mini! I'm more than doubling my collection in one month!

I know I can't use some of these sets for workshops, but that's perfectly fine since I'm going to do some craft fairs this year!

Welcome!

Welcome to my new blog. My name is Jennifer and I live in NW Indiana. I am about to become a new Stampin Up! demonstrator! I turned my paperwork in today and I can't wait!
