Tiles and Cards

I have some news for you- if you are a stamper this is great news. If you order $50 in products from Stampin' UP right now you will get a free stamp set from the Sale-A-Bration catalog. So think for every $50 you spend you can get stamps, there is even paper and punches available. If you are interested please contact me!

Well I finally have time to post some pictures, it seems as we get older time fly's way faster! This first image is a tile I made with some girl friends one night. I have found that when making tiles use the Rialto brand from Lowes (the tiles I got from Home Depot changed my colors and looked real bad). First of all you need to clean your tile, I use a unscented baby wipes. Once the tile is clean you can use Craft ink and any stamp you like to create a great project. Do not forget to add the embellishments, they take the tile from boring to WOW.

This card was done for a shoe box swap. I love it!! All products used are Stampin' UP. I used Regal Rose Card Stock and the paper is from the Occasions Mini Catalog- Sending Love Specialty Design paper. This paper has sparkles in it *LOVE IT* . I stamped the image using the Love You Much stamp set, then I colored in the Love with the Stampin' Write Markers. Then came the bling, added some Satin Ribbon (also from the Occasions Mini Catalog) and then a large button (Designer Buttons Sherbet).

I hope you like the projects I posted today. If you would like to make either one of them please contact me, I would love to help you make these projects and more.

Home from Leadeship

Well I am home from Leadership-this year was my first encounter with an event on this scale. I was fortunate to met Shelli Gardner, she is the Cofounder and CEO of Stampin' UP as well as an amazing stamper. The theme for Leadership was "Love What You Do" as I was sitting in the general meeting I started to think, I love what I do and as I am meeting amazing ladies I see that they are loving what they do as well. I also learned some new stamping techniques as well as quilting. Yes quilting- it seems the Big Shot is perfect for quilting; it allows you to cut great shapes for appliquéing. I was so shocked and just feel in love with this. My goal is to make a quilt post next month or sooner.

The pictures I have posted today are of the swap card I made. I used the Garden from the Heart stamp set (page 9 of the occasions mini catalog). I did some water coloring and then sprayed with shimmer paint. If you would like more information about this card or make this card please call me.

This is the same card with different colors.

The canvas that is posted was made for a coworker as a gift to his wife. This was so much fun to do allowed me to use some retired paper and the Bermuda Bay ribbon. I love this canvas!!!!

It seems that I was more caught up in the Holiday Season this year than in years past, so I am apologizing for not blogging much, and my failure to keep up with this. My goal for 2010 is to update my blog weekly, to include pictures, yes this is quite the task for me, but I am ready for the challenge. I have finished my January calender and have started to work on the February calender. So if you have any requests for classes please let me know and I will make it happen.

I am leaving next week to the leadership convention in Arizona for Stampin' UP and I am able to do this because of you my clients and friends; so I THANK YOU for this opportunity. My goals for this convention to to become much better at my business and learn some new teaching skills. I do have some cards to post however I will wait until after convention due to them being my swap cards. I have never done a swap before so this should be lots so fun. I made 32 cards and after 3 days I was thinking- "when I go to convention this summer I will have to make tons of cards so I better start now" YIKES!!! I do love doing this so that makes it a fun challenge!!!

Please check out my calender and I wish all of you the Best New Year Yet, and I Thank you all for your support!
