I've been stampin'!

Hi everyone! I finally got in my stampin' room and whipped up the cards for my Stampin' Buffet in December. We'll be making 5 birthday/general cards, 6 Christmas cards and tags. The cost is $10 for the first 8 cards then $2 for every card over that. I hope you enjoy the pictures! Happy Stampin'!

We're moving ahead!

No cards to post today because we spent part of the day cleaning out my side of the shop--our electrician comes on Monday! That means we're ready to start wiring for my stampin' room! I'll keep you posted--this will be a long process but we are on to the next step.
Happy Stampin'!

The final cards for my class

Here are the final 5 cards for my Stamp A La Card. I hope you like them!

6x6 Scrapbook pages

I am so excited that I can stamp this week! I've worked on four two page layouts to swap with a new friend on Stampin' Connection. I hope you like them!

I'm in the Stampin' Room!

Well, I have finally gotten into my stampin' room--and realized that my husband really needs to get back to work on my Stampin' Studio! We have the ceiling finally done and we were waiting on the electrician when he got sick. He seems to be better so maybe things will start moving again if we ever get a break in the heat. My stampin' room is over flowing and I've been bringing things downstairs to the dining room table to work because I can't find any room upstairs.

I had heard about a Stamp A La Card from a wonderful demonstrator on Stampin' Connection. I'm sorry I don't remember her name. Well, I thought I would try one and I have been working diligently on the first set of cards. All of the card ideas come from talented demonstrators on Stampin' Connection. Thanks to all of you who share so freely. I don't know what I would do without you. If one of these cards is yours, please let me know so I can give you credit. When I copy the ideas I like, it doesn't print the name of the person I got the idea from. Sorry!

I have 7 of the twelve made and they are posted above. I'll share the final five when they're finished as well. I hope you enjoy them. Until then, happy stampin'!

OK everybody!
It's the day you've been waiting for. The new catalog is up and running. If you'd like a copy before my next workshop (I'm working out the details) just let me know and I'll get it to you ASAP. You're going to love what you see! I have my wishlist already started. Contact me today for to set up a workshop or to place an order.
Have a great 4th of July!
