Your 2010 Christmas Cards

Want to make your own hand-stamped christmas cards this year but hate all the cutting and prep work??

I have your answer!!

Sit down with me. We will order the supplies and I will cut the cardstock for you!!

Contact me with any questions!

**********************************************
FYI:

I will not be having a card class in December since we have events/christmas parties every weekend.

The Occasions Mini Catalog starts January 4th and I just looked at it!! LOVE IT!!

I will be placing an order on December 11th to pre-order some goodies from the upcoming Mini.
(One of the many GREAT perks of being a SU! demonstrator!!)
Let me know if you would like to order any last minute christmas items at that time.
I will be offering FREE shipping on items placed on this order.

And if that wasn't enough, Sale-A-Bration starts January 25th!!

Contact me today to book your workshop during Sale-A-Bration to earn FREE stamps sets, accessories, and/or Decor Elements for yourself!! Got to love free!!

Starting in January, I'll be introducing a NEW Rewards Program for my customers!!

October Card Buffet!!!

WOW!! Where has the past two months gone??

We've been busy with the kids and trying to get the end of summer things done.

Here's my October Class, it's a CARD BUFFET!!

WHEN: Saturday, October 23rd @ 10:00 a.m.

RSVP by Wednesday, October 20th
with payment to reserve your seat

WHERE: My Stampin' Garage

COST: $20
*See details below*

Please bring your adhesive

****************************************

Here's how it works:

There will be a "menu" to choose from, you only make the cards that you like. If you really like a card, make 2 of it!!

You start at 10:00 by picking out a card from the "menu" and taking that box to your "table". You make the card then put everything back into the box and return it. Grab a new box and continue at your own pace until 1:00 p.m.

At 1:00 p.m, the "kitchen" is closed. You count up how many cards you made. Up to 8 cards is $20. Any over eight are $2.50 each.

At this time, the "waiting area" opens and you can order any SU! merchandise from the current catalogs. If you place an order of $30 or more, you can choose another two cards to make, FREE!!

Join the FUN!!!

RSVP today, as I am limiting the number of available "tables"

*Pre-registration and payment required*

There is something for everyone...

Cards include:

• Wedding
• Thinking of You
• Baby
• Thanksgiving
• Halloween
• Birthday - Woman

Black & White Rag Bag

Here is the Rag Bag that I started just THREE hours before leaving to get on the plane to head to Salt Lake City for Convention.

Good thing I've mastered the art of sewing straight lines and whipped this out in 1 1/2 hours, giving me just enough time to shower and pack before heading to the airport!! I wish I would have had another 2 hours to snip, wash, and dry it. Oh Well!

It's amazing what you can get done when you don't go to sleep for over 40 hours!!! The excitement leading up to Convention is overwhelming!!

I knew Celisa liked black and white and polka dots. I found the cute owl fabric that kind of goes along with SU! new owl punch. It has two small pockets on each side.

Here is the "inside" of the bag.

This is the first bag that I've used a different fabric pattern for the inside. It also has two small pockets on each side. So the outside has the ragged edges and the inside has the clean seams. Kinda Cool!!

Thanks for stopping by...

I've returned home from the Stampin' Up! Convention in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Although I miss all of my stampin friends, old and new, I'm glad I'm back home with my kids.

Here are a few pictures:

SU! doesn't tell anyone who placed where until Awards Night when they call your name.

It gets pretty intense!!!

Kelly was at the edge of her seat as her name wasn't getting called....
(They start at 100 and work their way up to #1)
Finally! SWEET 16!! Way to go Boss!!!
Here she is getting flowers and a hug from Shelli.

Here is THE Mary Fish.
She han't been called yet either. She was waiting patiently...

YES!!!
She was #6!!
Congrats Mary!!

Here she is getting flowers and a hug from Shelli.

The Top 10 Demonstrators of the Year.

And of course, I had to get a quick photo opp with Mary.
It was fun sitting next to you to get some pictures!

Milwaukee Regional

We had a BLAST at the Stampin' Up! Milwaukee Regionals!!!

Here is a picture of us:

Those pink hats made it SO easy to find our group in the sea of 500 stampin' ladies!

Check out these SUPER CUTE magnet boards that Kelly gave each one of us for attending.

I have already purchased the flashing to make more!!

Here are the 3D/WOW items from the swap I hosted.

Clockwise from the top left: Mini Rag Bag (Me), Tote Purse (Linda), Cute Box with two mini milk cartons inside (Cathy), Tess Calendar (Kelly), and the adorable Punch Art Frog card (Donna).

All the pieces to make SIX of the Mini Rag Bags, die cut and sewn...

...and assembled!!


And Finally.... The HIT ITEM of the day...

MY SWAP BAG!!!

(with side pockets)

Check out the dividers that I put in it!!

I wish I would have taken a picture of ALL the ladies

taking a picture of my bag.

It was CRAZY!!!

I LOVE Stampin' Up! demo's!
They are so nice and asked "permission" to take pictures of my bag.

Silly me, I brought along my business cards to hand out...
Yep, thats them in the side pocket yet. I completely forgot to hand them out!!!
