Stamp Club Surprise for me!!!

I have the greatest stamp clubs! Yesterday when my Magnificent 8 girls came, Brenda was our hostess and she brought this gorgeous and delicious anniversary cake for my 11th Stampin'UP! Anniversary. Gloria brought me a bouquet of roses from her rose garden. I am so blessed to have these friends. I would not have ever met any of them if it were not for my Stampin UP Business. The friends I get are the very best fringe benefit. :) Thanks girls.

YIPPPPY!!! I GOT MY FREE $150 ORDER TODAY!

I am so excited to earn the title of Manager and for that Stampin UP gave me a $150 shopping spree! Did I say I love Stampin UP! Here are my goodies and I wanted to share my moment with you. :) Here is the new Tasteful Trim Bigz die from the Holiday Mini. I can't wait to use it. I decided to lay the die cuts (card stock) accross my Stampin UP apron to see what it could do for my apron. Can I say I love it. I know that we can cut up to 8 layers of fabric with this die and I will fold it right before the cutting line so it will be continues and I will first iron on the fabric adhesive so all I have to do it iron it on my apron. I will show you when I finish that project. I have always loved rick rack and I can see so many possiblities with this. Add it to a baby t-shirt or a kitchen towel for gifts. Please check back to see what I come up with. Thanks for looking.

Artistic Etchings

I am turning over a new leaf, using stamp sets I have bought (imagine that). As I looked at my retired things and saw that I had not used all of them, (I know that my friends, family and customers can not see what wonderful products they are in my closet). I started using sets that I had not mounted yet. I got this idea from a blog and for the life of me I can not find it or who made it so if it was you please email me and I will give you credit for your great ideas. I changed a few things but not much.
