Ho-Ho- Holiday Hostess Clubs! Stampin' Up! Holiday Mini Catalog Sneak Peek!

How about a Sneak Peek from the Stampin' Up Holiday Mini Catalog!! 

I created this card using some really cute paper, punches and stamps from the Holiday Mini Catalog which begins in 3 days!!

How would you like to join my Holiday Hostess Club!

What does this mean?

I need 4 "members" to sign up and commit to ordering $37.50* in Retail (plus ship and tax) amount from either the Main 

Stampin' Up Catalog or the NEW Holiday Mini Catalog 

that will begin in September and go through December.

This "Club" will last 4 months and you will be responsible for ordering $37.50 in September, October, November and December.

I would like gather orders by the 1st of each month and payment is due the 3rd of each month, starting with September.

What do you get for being a Hostess?!!

Do you have to clean your house or get outside orders? NO!

What Hostess means, is when it is YOUR month you get to choose $25 in Retail! There are some fabulous "Hostess Only" items and these "cost" less! So you might find one valued at $22.95 but it will only use up $13 of your hostess $25! Or you can chose any product out of either catalog for your $25! 

Let me tell you, this HOLIDAY MINI is the best and you will want it all!

Most of my clubs are from Long Distance Members. If you live out of town there will be a Reship/paypal fee* added to the $37.50. 

Please reply soon if you are interested so I can get a Holiday Mini Catalog sent to you, if you sign up for a Club!

Thank you, Barb

p.s I currently have many clubs going, this is for new club members who are willing to start in September and go until Dec 1st

Thinking outside of the box with Stampin' Up! Timeless Portrait Paper

Good morning

I have a really great surprise for you! My little girl asked me to buy her our

 Timeless Portrait Designer Paper. 

Look what she made with this. She definitely thinks "outside the box"! She has the ability and talent to look at a pattern and whip up something that is a bit unusual. I just love this. She found the box in a stash of office stuff my husband was cleaning out. It has a magnetic closure. Wish we could get more boxes like this!

For the sides and the bottom she used another pattern of the Timeless Portrait Paper

Now check out what she did with the inside. She is so creative! 

Materials Used:
Timeless Portrait Designer Paper
Black Satin Ribbon 
Beveled Window Panes
That's it!!


Don't forget, through this Wednesday, only we have the Buy 3 get 1 FREE packs of Designer Paper. This pack is included!! Click here to see my store.

Catching up

Good morning! My computer has been in the shop for a few days and wow I feel so out of touch!
I am here to extend my prayers to those that are on the East Coast and enduring the quakes, hurricanes and tornados. I hope you all are well and have been thinking about you.


On  a good note, I got a really big special pay check from Stampin' Up from something I earned awhile back,  and was able to buy a new computer!  It was in the store so I could transfer my old computer to my new one and now I am all set! Now I can have my own without kicking my kids off of mine when I need to work or play on the computer!


I also have a few spots in my New Holiday Hostess Club which I would like to begin early in September. It goes for 4 months and the cost is $37.50 in Retail for 4 months plus ship, tax, reship. You may order out of either the main catalog or the new Holiday Mini Catalog!
If interested, please email me at snowman lover 2 at yahoo dot com


Have a great Sunday. Sorry for the lapse in posts. Please come back this week, as I will be showcasing some really neat things my little girl made and also some gorgeous Christmas things I have made from our new and upcoming Holiday Mini Catalog.


Coming on September 1st- Holiday Mini Catalog SHARES!!!

Last two cards, I promise, then I will announce the Card Kit I have been working on for you!


I literally whipped this one together and made a cute little flower from our Fun Flower Sizziz Die. I also used our Tasteful Trim Die.

I am on a roll with my up and coming card kit. It will be announced tomorrow!
Here are two more cards I created with the Beau Chateau Designer Series Paper and Side Notes. I also used our Fun Flowers Die to create the flower and added a Vintage Brad.

Card #6
This one is a bit funky, but it was fun to make.
 I used the actual Post Card that came with the Side Notes Kit. I added a stamped image of the feather pen and one of the post marks from a very old set. The title and the other postage mark comes on the post card!The little crown is part of the Side Note Set and I cut out the little squares to add to the ribbon with a Vintage brad.

Another Digital Card by Lorrie

Good morning! I got my new computer and printer yesterday but still have a lot of glitches to work out. In the meantime I thought I would show you another card that my good friend/customer Lorrie made for me. She always sends me thank you cards for the littlest things I do~

This is another one of her Digital Cards!! Check out her Blog Here. Not only will her cards delight you but her photography is magical!!

Lorrie designed this one on her own.

I have had several people ask me about our Stampin' Up  Digital Program.  We do have one and it is called My Digital Studio or MDS. I am not very computer savy but it is a very user friendly program and you can print out our Stampin' Up stamps, punches, and even our papers. Check out our MDS Here.

A beautiful Stampin' Up MDS card! By Lorrie!

Hi Friends,

Sorry to have not posted over the weekend. I was recooping from my Craft Sale and working on lots of biz stuff for Clubs and Share Customers. Besides that, my printer went out and I have to have a printer to print my long distance mailing labels! So today I am off to purchase a new Mac!  I love my old one but the kids need a computer (I hate sharing mine) and I just got a BIG Stampin' Up Bonus, so with the printer going out, now is the time! Lots of cleaning up to do on my old computer.

While cleaning up emails I came across this beautiful card made by one of my long distance BFF friend, follower, customer. She did this Digitally with our Stampin' Up Digital Paper. I have been meaning to post her card and better do it soon because this paper retires in August. Didn't she do an awesome job!

Here is the link to my wonderful friend's site :http://www.lorriesstory.com

While she started out as a customer, she is now my very dear friend and we talk daily!  I just wish she did not live a million states away. Will we ever meet? Sigh

Today is the Day!! Huge Local Craft Sale!

Good morning! Wow I did not get much sleep last night. Been so busy organizing for my big Local Craft Sale. I decided to do this after redoing my Craft room. I invited my local friends but I don't think too many are coming. I know all my long distance buds would love to come!

I have soooo much. If it doesn't sell, I will need to have a 'garage sale" but not until it gets out of the over 100 degrees here!

So all my local crafty friends, please be sure to stop by today!

Gosh I just don't stop for a second!

Sorry for the lack of posts. I have just not stopped in the last week or so for a second!

I am working on my Paper Shares, Ribbon Shares, Current Clubs, Seeking new Club Members for my Holiday Hostess Clubs, Card Swaps, Open House, Advent Project, Baby Album project and workshop. Whew, I had to cancel the workshop, just too much going on! It was a repeat of last weeks for those that couldn't make it.

Thursday I am having an open house craft sale and selling my retired stamps half off. I will put them up for sale after the local open house.  So much to get ready and just a day away.

I have also been working on my Swaps for my Team's Baggie Books.

When I finish all of these projects I really will show you some photos.

For the follower from Spring Texas, thanks for stopping by each day and being a loyal follower! I have a little traffic thingy on my blog and it tells me which city you all are viewing from. It does not say your names or your email, just city and every morning I see Spring Texas, so introduce yourself and thanks for stopping by! I really appreciate it!

For now, I just stopped by to say Hello!
I am till trying to fill my Holiday Hostess Clubs and need just 4 members from Sept 1st- December 1st! For details, click HERE, please.

Thinking of Others Workshop

Couldn't make it to the Workshop yesterday? Well I am bringing it to you!

Actually I am going to be doing a repeat of the workshop this Saturday, so if you are in the Dallas area and want to come, just let me know!

Here are the cards we made

I just love this Berry Blossoms Designer Paper- don't forget paper is on sale this month.

We used Word Play Stamp Set

Here is another light hearted version

I just love this card. We used the darling little Owl punch and Nursery Nest Designer Paper, also on sale this month and one of my favorites!

Inside can be used for a Gift Card or for a tea bag!

I worked hours on designing this card and just did not like it but they loved it! We used the Thoughts and Prayers Stamp Set and our new Wisteria Wonder Card Stock

Here are the ladies that attended

Barb T- not to be confused with me, Barb G!

Sandy and Patty hard at work- well play! 

Patty's Cute little owl! Sorry Patty, you were not upside down but sometimes blogger does this to my photo. I love the way your pretty shirts always seem like a Stampin' Up Color. Today this shirt looks like Wild Wasabi. Patty is my awesome downline!

Kathryn and her darling mom, Pattie. They found me from the Stampin' Up website, emailed me and here they are. I really enjoyed having you both!

 

Well that is it for today. As usual I am busy, busy, busy! This week I have to work on my 38 card swaps for a baggie book with my team mates. I am also planning my Retired Items Sale for this upcoming week and a repeat of this same workshop on Saturday!

Have a great week!
