Happy Wednesday... OMGosh, February already!

2012-02-01T07:00:00.000-05:00

So today, I'll get some of my cards ready for my February and March Stamp-a-Stack classes...

Q: But How can you do this Julie? Shouldn't you be at work?
A: Well yes, today is a PD day but I goofed, missed my chance to get him in for the full day at daycare and have no one to look after my monkey. So, I am using a vacation day :-( (I like weeks off better than a Wednesday, grrrr). It would be tons of fun if we could have 'real snow'... you know the kind that stays for more than 20 minutes, lol!!!

Anyhow... here is another card from a swap received at Leadership... Hope it gets you inspired :-)... I should have taken a picture of Lesley Poper's scrapbook page made with this same piece ;)

Let's have a private class... Where you'll get the freebies

2012-01-28T20:35:00.001-05:00

If you are like me... the 'word' workshop leaves a yukky taste in your mouth so that is why I am doing things "MY WAY"... Keep reading... All the "gooder" stuff is at the bottom!

You'll still get the freebies (as long as there are sales... minimum class order has to be $200) but you pick your class (Big Shot, My Digital Studio, cards or Scrapbook pages and/or techniques)... Then you get friends together (minimum 6 people), we play, relax and that's it! I'll come to you with everything ready to start having fun!

Fee: $35 per person or FREE with a minimum $35 order... (yup, not a typo!) Now, during Sale-a-Bration... ANYONE who orders $60 worth of product also gets a free product from the brochure... AWESOME!!!!!

Can't figure out what to pick for $60? I can help you with that, no worries :-) ...

Hostess Bundle Details:The Hostess Bundle includes the products found on pages 6-7 of the Sale-A-Bration brochure, including

Fresh Vintage stamp set (wood- or clear-mount)
Everyday Enchantment Designer Series Paper
Everyday Enchantment Ribbon & Brad Pack
Offers are not incremental (i.e., a hostess will not receive two totes for a $400 ~~workshop~~ private class or two bundles for sales totaling $1,050 ).

Even better... I'll throw in a free set from my stash if your sales reach $300 and MY WAY is incremental... PLUS you'll get one more set for every one of your friend that books a class!!!

Have you heard the news? Stocking Builder Punch

2011-12-21T10:00:00.000-05:00

We just received word from Stampin' Up! that one of the most popular items in the current Holiday Mini will not be carried over to the brand new Idea Book & Catalog that comes out July 1st, 2012!!

"Our occasion-specific mini catalogs allow us the opportunity to share the latest seasonal products with you and your customers, and we often carry over products from our mini catalogs into the following Idea Book & Catalog. This time, however, we have decided not to carry over the Stocking Builder Punch (item 124095) from the 2011 Holiday Mini Catalog into the next Idea Book & Catalog.

Once the current inventory of this punch has been depleted, it will no longer be available for purchase. We hope many Stampin' Up! stockings will adorn cards and brighten holiday projects this season and look forward to seeing what you create with the next seasonal design."

So if you have either been on the fence about purchasing this punch or were going to wait until the new catalog came out I would get yours now before they are gone!!

I am super happy that we now have this extra little thing in common that is Stampin'Up!

These were made using retired Christmas Paper as well as Retired 5/8" Old Olive GrosGrain Ribbon... You only need a Big Shot, 2 dies and a few punches (or a good Friend) and you're good to go! I still have 2 free chairs for this Friday's Workshop... We will be making one of these :-)...
Have a Great day!

Happy Saturday and a CHALLENGE :-)

2011-11-12T06:30:00.000-05:00

I honestly can't remember when is the last time that I have entered a challenge online... fun. I use to do these like 3 to 4 times a week... It usually pushes me outside my comfort zone... so today, MY PERSONAL CHALLENGE was to keep it simple and elegant. You know me and a gazillion layers, lol!
Okay so I had to work on this for about 5 to 10 minutes then walk away... room was spinning to much... oh yeah, I am not feeling 100% yet but I just am tired of being house bound and not be able to drive anywhere, do errand, or 'play' either. When I look at something for just a tinny bit to long, I feel nauseous on top of it too!!!
So here is the challenge...

And here is my entry to the Challenge...

I used the following colours: Always Artichoke, Night of Navy, Rich Razzleberry and Crumb Cake :-)
