Hello! I just returned from a great weekend of stamping and creating with friends! My upline opens her home each year for a RAD (RemARKable Achieving Directs & Dreambuilders) weekend. This is the first year I have earned this great weekend, and I was so excited to go. I will be posting photos of the projects we made, as well as some sneak peek items that will be included in the Sale-A-Bration brochure and the new Occasions Mini Catalog beginning in January. I was not sure how I would like the clear stamps, but I think I love them! The clear blocks make stamping easy -- you can see exactly where your image will be! Plus, the DVD-sized storage case is great. I will be adding some of the new stamps and clear blocks to my pre-order.

I also got to spend some time with one of my stamping buddies, Dawn. She has a great blog (Stampin Creations), and has graciously agreed to help me learn the ropes of blogging. So, I will make weekly posts one of my goals for the new year.

I hope you enjoy the holidays with those you love. Stay tuned....I promise to post some photos from RAD by the weekend!

Here is one of the cards we made at the New Catalog Open House. I LOVE the new In-Colors and the Textured Impressions Embossing Folders for the Big Shot machine. The Pumpkin Pie cardstock was embossed with the exclusive Stampin' Up! Finial Press embossing folder -- LOVE IT! The colors of this card just have to make you happy! I chose Crushed Curry, Rich Razzleberry, Pumpkin Pie and Whisper White to coordinate with the Razzleberry Lemonade Designer Series Paper. Stamp Sets used for this card are Razzle Dazzle and Teeny Tiny Wishes -- brand new in the 2009-2010 Idea Book and Catalog! Enjoy!

Hello! I am so excited about the 2009-2010 Idea Book & Catalog! I am also making this blog a priority in my Stampin' Up! business. I will post samples of cards and projects on this blog for you to use as inspiration -- I know I like to blog-hop for ideas! Thanks for you patience as I continue to drag myself into the digital age! Happy Stamping!

Hello! I have been very busy with Sale-A-Bration, and not so busy with my blog! I am trying to teach myself how to make an attractive blog -- one that you would like to visit. Until then, happy stamping!

Welcome to my blog!

I have joined the 21st century -- I have a blog! I enjoy stamping, scrapbooking, and paper crafts and I will post ideas that you can try. Please be patient as I learn the ropes of blogging! Thanks!
