Stamp set we received at the Stampin' Up! Catalog Premier


Last night we received a stamp set from the upcoming new catalog, which I love......It is a wood mount stamp, which I love, BUT all the wood pieces fit just so I the box.   Word of caution - whe. You open the box, take a picture of the wood blocks in the case before removing (even before mounting the set). I printed the picture and slid it on the inside of the case so that whenever I use the set, I can fit it back in the case.   

I recently purchased a bracket my iPad on my tripod to take videos...Now the tripod is too light so I had to hold it down on the table while I filmed this very short video of the finished card.   I can't post any pictures of the actual stamp set, or picture of the stamp set in the catalog, however I can post any pictures of cards or projects made with it....here's my first one.  

Ok so after several attempts, I can't figure out how to link my video herein my iPad....however I was able to upload it to YouTube .


So here's the picture





Enjoy!

New - Project Life - Becky Higgins coming to Stampin' Up!!!!

wOW, This is pretty BIG news!!!   I am always in search of new ways, ideas for scrapbooking and today Shelli announced the partnering with Becky Higgins and her Project Life - check it out here
I can't wait and demonstrators are going to be the first to try it out!!!

This is exciting news and I have more to share too:

Here are the cards my ladies did at Stamp Club this month

The first a card in a box - these have been all over different blogs, pinterest, facebook and more.  Not too hard to make, the first one takes longer.  But fun to make and I am sure even more fun to receive!
 Here is one of my Easter Cards this year....now I just need to get them all in the mail tomorrow~
 And Easter without chocolate????!!!!   This cute bunny holds a Ghiradelli Chocolate...YUMMY.
 Of course I have to share a picture of my granddaughter, Rachel.  This was taken at the Rosedale Library - Storyville.   It was a playdate for Rachel and my friend's grandson, Cameron.   They were born one day apart.   They had their first kiss here at Storyville when they were just crawling....

I can see a page - with Project Life coming up  in my future!

Stay tuned for more information on the Project Life, Retiring Stamp and Accessory List (Apr 21st), New Catalog and more.

I am celebrating 10 Years with Stampin' Up! on the 28th of April, SO  Leave a comment guessing how many stamp sets that I have that are on the retirement list when it comes out and the person with the correct guess (or close to it) will get their choice of one of my retired stamp sets on that list.....EVEN if I want to keep it forever, you will get it too.   One winner, if more than one person guesses the same amount, I will draw a winner.  I will have lots of prizes to give away too, so if you guess the wrong number, you could win a prize too.

ENJOY!

Winter is over and that means so is Sale a bration and if you missed it, I have a few products from the Sale a bration flyer that can be yours FREE when you have either a Stampin’ Up! Party in your home (or mine) or a Catalog Party when the sales reach $150.
