Father's Day Card Class

These are the projects I'm planning for my upcoming Father's Day Card Class this Saturday: two 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" cards and two gift tags. I haven't had anyone express interest or RSVP yet, so I hope this will be a worthwhile event. I'm still new to the area and I just can't believe there isn't one person in my community that is interested in crafts/card-making/scrapbooking! Keeping my fingers crossed!

Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there! We have the most demanding, most tiring, longest shift job in the world, but we also have the most rewarding one! =) Enjoy your day!

I'm Baaacck!

We are now living and pretty much settled in our new home in Marysville, WA. It's been about three weeks, and we finally got our internet hooked up yesterday! I've been playing catch-up with updating necessary things, like changes of address on several websites, checking status updates on a few Stampin' Up! orders, and re-downloading my My Digital Studio downloads so I can get back into scrapbooking! I didn't realize how much I rely on internet, especially to manage my business! It's good to be back online!

So last Saturday, April 30th, I planned to place an order for some Occassions Mini products I needed to order before they were gone, gone, gone forever! LOL! I noticed a Sr. Supervisor Title Bonus was listed, so I clicked on it and realized I earned a $100 shopping spree!!! Yay me! I was so excited!!! I have yet to make friends who are interested in Stampin' Up! and now that I'm back in the States, I'm required to make a minimum sales amount. Long story short, I'm getting $100 worth of product FREE!!! I LOVE being a Stampin' Up! demonstrator!!! =)

Amy Logan's First Stampin' Up! Event

One of my downline gals, Amy Logan, had her first Stampin' Up! event today! The two projects she designed included: a recipe card holder with recipe cards and love coupons with a holder. It was lots of fun stamping for the last time here in Naples! I will miss my friends dearly and am so thankful and blessed to be able to share my interests with them!

Brandi Ellis's Stamp Club

One of my downling gals, Brandi Ellis, had her first stamp club today! The 3D projects she came up with are so stunning! I love how these favors are easily adaptable for any occassion or holiday. Here are the ones I completed:

Strength & Hope Campaign

I read on the demonstrator website a few days ago of a partnership between Stampin' Up! and The Breast Cancer Research Foundation. Stampin' Up! will be releasing a new stamp set called Strength & Hope with coordnating designer series paper, all of which can be purchased as a digital kit for MDS (My Digital Studio) as well. Stampin' Up! will donate $2 from the sale of each stamp set/digital kit to the foundation. What a great way to be involved in the community and really making a "difference," as Stampin' Up! strives to do!

It just so happened the items were available for preorder. If I wasn't in the process of transferring out of Italy, I would've preordered the stamp set and paper, but I didn't want to chance them not arriving before I depart, so I settled for the digital kit. I crafted a few cards, the first of which I CASED from the demo website samples. The other two (sympathy cards) I made for individuals, including myself, who've lost loved ones this week. R.I.P. Auntie Ling! You will be GREATLY missed!





The "Strength & Hope" campaign will be soon-approaching and beginning May 1st- August 31st, you can purchase these products.
