I recently received a copy of the Book of Morman from Shelli and Sterling Gardner and it contained a handmade bookmark, it got me thinking that with all the electronic media we have these days the good ol’ bookmark really doesn’t have much of a chance! But we all do have at least one book we could use one in ~ our Stampin’ Up! annual catalog for example!
I always have a little gift for each of my customers and for March…. you guessed it…. they all got a bookmark!
I value the ladies who come to my classes, I love the enthusiasm they bring and the wonderful friendships I have developed in the 4 1/2 years I have been a demonstrator.
During my March class I gave everyone a little ‘milk carton’ filled with tiny chocolate easter eggs……………………….
Tax season is over, I’m back at my work bench and normal service is about to resume!!!!!
I apologize for not posting very much in the last 5 – 6 weeks, been very busy helping the nation file their taxes ( did not actually get ours filed until late on the night of the 14th ~ bit too close for my liking, prefer to get them done by mid-March!)
But while I have not had time to post I have had some time to make and have some things to share with you over the coming days………………
WOW…… it doesn’t happen often but Stampin’ Up! are offering free shipping for the next 5 days – til midnight April 10th………….. Continue reading
One of the lovely things about having card making classes is when you receive a hand-made thank you card in return. I thought I would share a couple I got in the mail in the last few weeks.
FYI – 2 more days Sale-a-bration before finishes…… did you get your free stuff yet? Click the ‘shop now’ button to the right there – you won’t be sorry 🙂
The new 2015 Stampin’ Up! Occasions catalog brought a new selection of ribbons and embellishments. For each of the ‘mini catalogs’ (there are 2 in a year) as well as the new Annual Catalog, I host a ‘share’ where each participant has a few of each embellishment or a yard or two of each of the new ribbons, so they can have something of everything that the new catalog has to offer without breaking the bank!
February kits were delivered last week, but I have been so caught up in my ‘day’ job (doing taxes!) that I did not have time to post anything about them
Each of the packs contained the supplies to make 3 completely different cards and a treat box with the For Peeps Sake’ Stamp set. My kits contain printed recipes with diagrams and photographs as well as a video tutorial for each project
I have chosen ” Moon Lake for this months projects, another set from the 2015 Occasions catalog. This set lends itself perfectly to water coloring and each of the cards features a little of this. I also introduce a couple of masking techniques.

Today is our eldest grand-daughter’s 6th birthday, as she lives in England we don’t get to see to much of her, but a card is one way of sharing our delight in her birthday.
It is always a challenge for me to make cards the ‘littlies’ (as we call them in our family) but when I first saw this Etch-a-sketch card I knew it would be perfect.
This is the final project celebrating Valentine’s Day, I think I saved this one for last as it really does use colors well outside the box, but who said Valentine cards had to be red and pink!!!!
I hope you enjoyed my week of valentine projects, I certainly enjoyed sharing them with you – if you have a moment please leave me a comment ~ let me know you are out there !!!!!
