Catalog CASE

This card and the next one are direct CASE's (Copy And Share Everything) from the new Spring Catalog. The colors are the same, however I changed up on the sets used.

For this one I used:

Time Well Spent (stamp set), Pumpkin Pie, Rose Red, Whisper White (card stock), watercolor crayons, and white gel pen.

This one I used the Stamp Sets So Much and Time Well Spent. Card Stock- Certainly Celery, Bashful Blue, Rose Red, and So Saffron DSP. I used a Wal-mart grommet in the center of the flower, and added a small punched out circle of So Saffron to pick up that color again. I added some Crystal Effects and Dazzling Diamonds glitter to the center for an extra "Bling".

Just 1 of my holiday cards that DIDN'T get sent out

This is a card I made during the holidays.

Stamp Set: Crab and Company

Ink: Real Red, Basic Brown

CS: Real Red, Certainly Celery, Night of Navy, Whisper White, DSP (Designer Series Paper)

Other: Liquid Applique, Word Window Punch. brads

I made several Christmas cards during the holidays, but unfortunately no one got to see them. (psst...dh is a bit peeved about that...that I didn't mail them out, anyway). I looked at it this way, with the price of gas topping $3 a gallon again, and postage costs they way they are, do I really want to send out all these cards, or do I want to feed my family??? DH didn't see it that way, however, as he shook his head in disbelief and found just 1 more little reason to be mad at me this year (2008), no one but me got to enjoy my Christmas cards this holiday season.

Altered Envelope Swap

This was an altered envelope swap that I participated in last year.

Altered Paper Project

This was a project I made last summer for a swap, when the designer paper first came out. You can view a Tutorial for this project at CraftTVWeekly. It is FREE to join up, and they have wonderful papercrafting projects. If you look for this project, you will find it shown as a picture frame that sits on a tabletop. I altered it a bit so it could be hung up.

Stamp Sets: Heartfelt Thanks

Paper: Certainly Celery, Almost Amethyst, Whisper White, and Double Sided Designer Series Paper

Ink:Certainly Celery, Almost Amethyst, More Mustard, and Rose Red

Attempting to Catch Up

I've decided to start this blog over again. I've changed the name, and am currently trying to build different elements in here again. I'm not very good at writing every day, like some you ladies, and noticed that until this small post, my last post was in September. I've rather lost my stamping mojo. Don't know why this is, but unless my upline plans a stamping day, I've not done much stamping lately. Anywhoooo....I deleted a lot of the small talk that started up my last blog, AND eliminated the chit chat about my hermit crab. We might add more about him at a future time. At the current time, my site has a few outdated cards posted using several retired sets. I've also found that trying to write on 1 blog for my customers, and one blog for stampers is for the birds. I just can not keep up. After a year of trying this, I do believe blogger is more user friendly than Wordpress, so hopefully my customers will find me here.

If anyone who reads this would like to BECOME a customer to me, or a demonstrator for that matter, check out the contact info on the right.

My Power Mall

I just joined this wonderful, new company called My Power Mall. There is no selling involved and it is 100% FREE TO JOIN!!! I know, I know! You have to wonder what the catch is...I know I did! But it really is FREE. What you do first is sign up. Now, you can go thru the company and they will assign you an upline, or you can join under someone (like me), who gives you an invitation, or a link to click on for more information. As I said before, there is no selling involved. All you do is SHOP! Shop for what you usually shop for online. If you go to Walmart to buy toothpaste, TP, deodorant, shampoo...still, buy those things, but purchase them on your mall. If you are a crafter, shop for craft supplies. JoAnn's, Oriental Trading, and more art supply places are in YOUR MALL. Yes, you heard me right. This is YOUR MALL!!!! Your new mall will have over 1000 stores already in it. When you shop at a store from your mall, the store will have your special ID number imbedded in the address bar, when you first click on it. After your order has shipped, it will become a sale. Once you have a sale, you can earn a rebate on it. Some stores have bigger rebates than others, but you will receive a portion of the money for EVERY PURCHASE you make. Similar to a Direct Sales Company that works on a pyramid, MPM (My Power Mall), will give you rebates on up to 9 levels!!!! What could be better???!!! It's FREE...NOTHING TO SELL...AND YOU MAKE MONEY!!!! What are you waiting for? Click on the link in my banner to the left, to get more information. I'd LOVE to have you join me. With just a few small purchases to reach $50, you can earn a FREE 3 day/2 nite vacation!!!
