my dad. I plan to fill the empty ones
with a second collection of classic inks
and one for craft inks.

filled with small supplies.
The white cubes were a bargain find
from Target last year. It holds
business supplies and
samples on display.


The walls are Apricot Appeal! If you like what you see, leave me a comment on this blog and I'll enter your name into the hat to win an Apricot Appeal classic ink pad and a package of matching 8-1/2" x 11" card stock! :) Thanks for looking & good luck!

I'm Back!

Well girls it's been a rough few months, but I think I'm finally ready to get back into the swing of things. I want to thank each of you for being patient with me and for all the cards and prayers sent on my behalf. You are the best!!

My daughter's wedding was Saturday night and everything went great! I'll be posting a few pre-wedding pictures so you can see some of what I have been doing these last few weeks.

As far as Stampin’ Up! goes, there are lots of exciting things in the works. First of all, the retired stamp list is now available and I have emailed it to most of you. Second, Shelli just announced yesterday a new line of product called Décor Elements which is self-adhesive vinyl designs! These are large art designs to be used on your wall! The best part is they do not damage your wall in any way and you can remove them any time.

A preview brochure will be available July 1st and you can order from that or wait for the full line of products available August 11th. This is just phase one of many new products to be released during the upcoming year.

I am now taking pre-orders for the next catalog. As before, the pre-order cost is $5.00 and the catalog comes with a $5.00 off coupon when you host a workshop before the catalog sales period ends. If you join a Stamp Club, you will get the catalog free! Also, for those that are joining a stamp club after being in the last group, you will receive a free gift with your first month’s order!

It’s good to be back. I look forward to seeing many of you at my Hostess Appreciation Dinner in July. Watch for your invitation in the mail soon. Reservations are taken on a first response basis. I can only take 12 spaces per evening, so send your RSVP quickly!

I know I promised new samples, but I just got word that my sister has cancer and my heart has been elsewhere. Hopefully I'll get some new pictures posted soon. Thanks for understanding.
Barb

Where has the time gone?

Wow, how did I get so far behind? It has been three weeks since I last posted to this site and I don't have anything to show for it!!! I will get some new things posted soon, I promise. Meanwhile, take a look at the new blogs I have posted on the right side of the screen; they all use Stampin' Up! products in their samples...enjoy!

Sale-A-Bration Begins!

News from Stampin' Up! this morning is that Sale-A-Bration begins today and if you sign up to become a demonstrator during SAB you will receive 20% off the starter kit price, PLUS receive any stamp set of your choice free!!! You can signup on my website and enter the Recruiter Authorization Password of 519EMain from the comfort of your own home! If you have questions, give me a call! You will love being a part of the Stampin' Up! family.

What are the benefits of being a Stampin' Up! demonstrator you might ask? First of all, you will receive 20% off all your personal stamp supplies and have them delivered to your home! Second, you will have an opportunity to order products early so you will be the first to have the hottest stamps and accessories. You will also receive an exclusive magazine from Stampin' Up! that will give you ideas, tips and techniques every month. If that isn’t enough, you will gain access to the Demonstrator side of the website for even more ideas, samples and the latest news. Here you will be able to enter orders quickly and easily. After that, you can receive commission checks above the 20% when you have sales of at least $400 a month. Then of course there are the free stamps and trips you can earn. The list goes on, and on!

New card samples

I just received some new samples via email and wanted to share them with you all. Five new fabulous cards are posted to the right!

Please note: All the cards and projects shown on this blog are for ideas and inspiration only and cannot be used in contests or publication without consent of the designer. Enjoy!

Close up of door

I used the new bead duo on the center of the flowers on the door.

Altered Mailbox

Here is what I've been doing lately...you can find these cute little mail boxes at Target. I've covered it with the Spring Fling designer paper from Stampin' Up! and made 3" x 3" note cards to go inside!

Sale-A-Bration

It's that wonderful time of year that we can get free Stampin' Up! products! For every $50 purchased you can select a free product from the Sale-A-Bration brochure. And when you host a workshop with sales reaching $300 you will get a Sale-A-Bration product along with the generous hostess benefits!

If you would like to book a workshop during the Sale-A-Bration sales period, February 1 - March 17, 2008, call or email me ASAP as my calendar is already getting full!

You should be receiving your brochure in the mail, if you don't have copy by February 1st, let me know and I will send one out to you.

My phrase

Okay ya'll know that I have a favorite saying at my workshops and so I am going to place a trademark on the phrase until I can see if it can be patented. Here is the phrase that I truly believe in:

"Every mistake is an opportunity for creativity." T.M.

Every time you are making a card, scrapbook page, or other paper craft item and think you have really goofed it up, take a second look at it and say to yourself "how can I turn this into something that I really like". Then start looking for a way to change, cover, or completely re-do your project until you are satisfied with it. Many of my works over the years have ended up in the trash, but I don't give up until I have what I want. However, most of my projects just keep getting changed around until I am satisfied, so keep perusing your goals...you'll be happy with the results. :)

Sneak Peek

Here is one of the cards we will be making at tomorrow's class. If you missed the deadline for this class, plan to attend the next one March 15. Registration of $25 is due by March 1st.

The scan didn't turn out so well...the colors are really off. The card base is Blue Bayou, and the cowboy is stamped using the "split image" technique in Basic Brown and River Rock. Be sure to see this card in person at upcoming events.

Congratulations!

Congratulations to Lisa Beck for winning the door prize at today's open house! Thank you to everyone that came over and participated!

New Catalog Open House

Tomorrow's the big day! I'll be having lots of product to show and tell about from the new catalog. These are the projects you can make if you stop by between 1 & 5 PM! See you soon. The notebook cover was CASED from Chichi Allen. You can view the directions here.

Happy New Year!

I'm working to make some new card samples for my display board...see a few of them to the right. Don't forget to check my calendar for upcoming events and for the Stamp Club schedules.
