This stamp set did not really appeal for me until I saw it when I was at the Stampin’ Up Inspire, Create, Share event in Salt Lake City back in July.
It has stamps that work for Halloween, Thanksgiving/Fall and Christmas – all three of the major holidays. I have used this set a lot in my classes over the last couple of months and have a few cards to share with you over the coming days.
I try to make something as a little thank you for those ladies who shop with me each month. It might be a card but this month I decided it was time for a little chocolate. I used the Ghiradelli chocolate squares, I think this is the 3rd or 4th projects I have used these, but the variety of flavors and the taste of the chocolate is sooooooo good that I think it deserves more than one visit!
Did you hear about this???? Starting TODAY, Stampin’ Up stamps are 15% off!
This is what you were waiting for ~ to buy those stamps on your wish list, but you need to make your choices fast – this sale is good until the Friday – the 23rd.
Last week I shared some of the preparation and projects for the Stampin’ Getaway I hosted on October 3rd. We had a great location – in the Community Room of one of the Fire Station’s in McKinney – we had lots of space to spread out, little kitchen area for lunch and snacks and with the exception of the monthly testing of the fire sirens – it was very quiet!
Mark your calendars……………. our next Getaway with be in May 2016.
Here are a few more pictures to share with you of our projects and the day…………
I have been conspicuous by my absence over the last couple of weeks, partly this is ‘life’ stepping in but mainly it was due to me preparing for the Stampin’ Getaway I hosted last Saturday. Although I had done a lot of designing and prep work thru August and September, there was a bunch of stuff that could not be done until the last minute – that took some time!
Anyway, I want to share some of the experience with you…………..
September’s kits are all ready to go to their new homes, each of the packs contained the supplies to make 4 completely different cards with the Awesomely Artistic Stamp set. This is a lovely set with a variety of images that can be built into beautiful cards, I love the flower image but the ferns and dragon-fly are the real winners in this stamp set.
Back in June a dear friend of mine from my UK days celebrated a birthday – she is a lover of PINK – so I usually make her a predominantly pink card and this year was no exception.

Have been a little bit quiet over the last few days, I had a Christmas/Holiday card Stamp Camp on Friday and Saturday – I spent most of Thursday preparing for it which included tying a bunch of ribbon bows!…. and completely forgot to write something for my blog.

Welcome to Card # 6 using the Celebrate Today Stamp Set, which takes a Christmas theme.
I know, I know – we are not even half-way thru September and here I am showing Christmas cards!!! but Christmas ‘stuff’ has been in the craft stores for several months now and I am sure the next 3 months will fly by so I don’t think it is too soon to be thinking about getting a head start on the Christmas cards.

Today’s card using the ‘Celebrate Today’ Stamp Set is a shaker card, I have not done one of these before but I thought the balloon theme lent itself to a shaker card. I trawled the internet for some inspiration to find out how to do this and came across a video which I have linked further down this post.
