Hi Stampers Today's card was made for my dear beautiful daughter Deena. This is so her. The card was cased from one that Shelli presented at leadership in January. I love this style and when I saw it, I knew I would be making this card to send to Deena. This is also one of the cards that the ladies will be making at stamp camp on Friday, 11 March… Read More »
Okay, I've received permission from Stampin' Up! to change the name of the group. I've mentioned before that because there may be a male coming into our group, I thought I would select another name for us. I've thought and thought and cannot come up with a name that I like unless it's "The Golden Stampers". It's okay but I don't want people to think that it's for those of… Read More »
Hi Stampers On March 9, I will have been blogging for 3 years. When I first started I keep asking myself where am I going to find the words to blog every day! For those of you that know me personally, you know that I am basically a quiet person. But somehow, I've done it! WOOT!!! I haven't decide what I will be giving away on March 9, but it… Read More »
Hi Stampers If you want a sophisticated look for handmade greeting cards, the Studio Sketches Stamp Set is the one for you. Images in this set remind me of the still life art. I'm using it as the 2nd card for the New Techniques class on Friday, 4 March 2011. I used the same technique (markers and alcohol) as yesterday's card. The colors in the pears just blended in beautifully. I used… Read More »

I'll be showing the ladies how to color with alcohol (not the drinking kind!) and markers at the New Techniques class on Friday, 4 March 2011. I first stamped the image with Jet Black Stazon and then started to color in with the Poppy… Read More »

By John Sanpietro One of my clients recently asked how much I thought she should charge for a full-day event she was planning. When she gave me all of the details, I told her the event should run anywhere between $100-$150 per person. I could almost hear her rearing her head back in shock when I told her that. And she responded with the same response I've heard countless times… Read More »
Hi Stampers Hope you had a wonderful weekend. We had our grandchildren overnight so it was a great weekend for us. We value all the time we spend with them because they grow up so fast! We all get our inspiration from so many things and as I was skimming through a magazine called At home in Arkansas, I found this page. I loved it at first sight and… Read More »
Shelli has a great love of creativity, and she is sharing it with you in a new video.
By Lyssa Zwolanek A big problem that sometimes occurs a couple of years into demonstratorship happens when we realize we need to raise our prices. Prices are raised for any number of very legitimate reasons, including increased costs, whether of raw product, supply costs, or gas prices; new costs such as developing babysitting expenses or having to rent a larger space; or simply the realization that one is making only… Read More »
