Someone stamped for me!

My upline, Lori, gave me all these awesome stamped projects.  The frame dry erase board and the heart pop-out card are the projects I missed from our annual Stamp Champs Christmas party.

 

These are the scrapbook pages Lori did at her last Stamp and Scrap class.  She made me a set for my birthday.  Lucky me!!

You might recognize the penguin from my Bags, Tags, & more class.

Happy Stamping!

Stampahowlics group meeting

Yesterday, I had the pleasure of attending the quarterly Stampahowlics group meeting in McHenry, IL.  As always, great meeting!  I enjoy getting together with my friends...the friends I've made because of Stampin' Up!...good friends.  We made some awesome make-n-takes.  Here are 4 of them:

We also had a speaker...Jill Cataldo spoke to us about Super-Couponing.  Now, to be honest, this is something I really didn't think I'd be interested in.  But all I can say is Wow!  This woman knows her stuff and she taught me quite a bit about couponing and how to get things for FREE.  Gotta love that!  Visit her blog at www.jillcataldo.com and her website at www.supercouponing.com.  And if you are at all interested in saving some money and getting your groceries for FREE, go to one of her classes.  You won't be disappointed.  Thanks to Janice for bringing her in to speak to us.

More samples tomorrow.

January project from the Stampin' Up! website

Did you know that Stampin' Up! has project and stampin' ideas on the customer website at www.stampinup.com?  Yep, they do.  This is January's project and they have it on the website complete with supplies needed and instructions.  I love this new stamp set!  It's really cute and you can find it on page 100 of the new catalog.  Which you can also view on the Stampin' Up! website.

Last card from Saturday's class

If you missed Saturday's Stamp-a-Stack, here is the last card we made.  It showcases the new Delicate Dots DSP coming soon in the Sale-a-Bration catalog!  Great paper with very Spring-y colors...Certainly Celery, So Saffron, Bashful Blue, and Sahara Sand.

Another card for Saturday's class

-Carol

It's here! The new catty is here!

Much to my surprise, the new 2009 Spring Summer Idea Book & Catalog arrived today.  Woo Hoo!  It looks like a good one!

RSVP now for your copy.  It officially debuts on Monday, January 19th.  If you attend my Stamp-a-Stack class this Saturday, you can get a sneak peek! 

Here are a couple of the cards we'll be making on Saturday...

 

 

The white flowers and greeting are embossed.  It's a great look for a silhouette style stamp.

 

 

 

    

 

 

 

 

 

I cased this card from Sarah Shewell.  I changed the greeting and made it a rectangle instead of a square card.  I really like it!
