Project LIfe is Coming to Stampin' Up!

We are so so so excited to let you know we've partnered with the amazing Becky Higgins to bring you the real deal-authentic Project Life products, now in exclusive Stampin' Up! colors and designs. If you've somehow missed the Project Life craze and are wondering what it's all about, we'll fill you in: it's a super simple, totally affordable way to get your photos into albums: you just slip your photos into Photo Pocket Pages and add designed cards. It's a back-to-basics approach to documenting your life. In a nutshell, it's all about spending more time making memories and less time scrapbooking them. You will be able to purchase a sample of the product on May 2nd. 
I'm excited to try this! I plan to offer a class in July using the Project Life System. 


 April 21-25 is FREE SHIPPING! If you've waiting to place an order, now is the time!

May Stamp Camp

Our next Stamp Camp is scheduled for Sunday, May 4. I have some really cute cards prepared. I got the ideas from Split Coast Stampers and on Stampin' Connection. But as usual, I didn't write down the names of the wonderful demonstrators who made the original cards. I'm sorry! If it's yours, please let me know so I can give you credit. 
I hope you can join us. Email me or call if you would like to attend.

What a break!

I have had the best track out ever! I have spent hours in my Stampin' Studio creating cards and working on my scrapbook. I've made a dent in the work on my scrapbook but still have quite a lot to go. I've made the cards for my next stamp camp and made cards for the wonderful ladies in our front office who keep things running. Let me know what you think. 

Happy Stampin'!

It snowed in NC!

Well, we had one of those rare storms here in central North Carolina--it actually snowed! We only got about 1 1/2 inches but it was enough to close schools for four days--don't laugh! We just don't have the equipment to move the snow around here and the roads have been really icy. Anyway, what else do you do but hang out in the Stampin' Studio?

I  made this card for my 6th swap. I swap with six other demonstrators for six months and the cards are supposed to arrive by the 6th of each month. It's a great idea and keeps me stamping each month and I get great ideas to share with my customers. 

I'm working on cards for my March class. Stay tuned!

Stamp Camp, January 12

Hi everyone,
Here are the cards you'll be making on Sunday, Jan 12 at our Stamp Camp. I look forward to seeing you.

 

Relaxing after the holidays

After months of getting Audrey to The Nutcracker rehearsals, she had her last performance on Saturday night. It was bittersweet--she was sad to be leaving the friends she had made and I'm sad to lose some of the time we spent together. So to relax a little, I spent some time in the Stampin' Studio today working on some swap cards and a card for my January Stamp Camp. We will make two cards, three of each card and a set of 3x3 cards on January 12th. I'll post the other card and the 3x3 card when I get them finished.

Hi everyone!
I hope you've had a great Christmas and are ready to ring in the New Year. I'm getting a jump on our Stamp Camp Schedule--if it's already planned, I'll have to stick to it, right?
I'm planning to do a Stamp Camp every other month. I would like to ask that everyone pay $15 or an order of at least $15 of product. I realize that's an increase from the previous years, but I've kept it the same for the past ten years. Shipping costs and increased costs of products have finally caught up with me. I hope that doesn't deter any of you from joining me. That's also the reason I've switched to every other month instead of trying to do it monthly.

If you know of anyone who would like to have an in-home workshop, please let me know and I'll give them a call. If you would like to host a workshop, be sure to let me know, too.
Be sure to put these dates on your calendar so you will have plenty of time to work around it. Feel free to bring a friend!We will meet on the second Sunday of each month:
January 12--Valentine's and birthday cards
March 9--Easter and Thank you cards
May 11--Mother's Day and Father's Day cards
July 13--Christmas in July and tags
September 14--Birthday cards and Halloween cards
November 9--Birthday and Thank you cards

I will also have 3x3 cards at each month's stamp camp.

Please RSVP by Jan 8 for the January Stamp Camp.
I look forward to hanging out with in the Stampin' Studio and I wish you a very safe and Happy New Year!
