I belong to the Business Stampers Coaching Group and one of our challenges was to write a post about an essential stamping tool. I selected the Stamp-a-ma-jig because I think it's the most misunderstood tool in the catalog. I was at first intimidated by this tool but the more I use it the more I am comfortable with it. I have to say that I love this tool. I've owned… Read More »
It'll be here very soon! The exciting 2009-2010 Idea Book & Catalog. This year we (demonstrators) had a special treat – we received the new catalog early. This is just one more reason to become a Stampin' Up! demonstrator. I've looked and looked through the new catalog (I can't put it down!) and it is fabulous. I love so many things in the catalog; new stamp sets, new dies, new… Read More »
Today's post includes a simple card I made in less than ten minutes. The DSP is from Urban Oasis which is retiring 30 June. No stamping is involved and it only has one layer. The sentiment was computer generated. Though you can't see it, I ran Kraft craft card stock through the Top Note Die and adhered it to the inside. Thanks for visiting!

No, I don't think that but I wanted to catch your attention! I did didn't I??? I made these small gifts for my grandchildren's teachers. David is in the 4th grade going into the 5th grade and Felicia is in the 3rd grade going into the 4th grade. They attend year-round school so they get out later in the month than most schools. The 19th is their last day. I… Read More »
I made a card for my grandson last week but used the wrong school colors. I used red & white (my old high school colors) instead of blue and white. I must have been having a "Bella Vista Moment!" as we are fond of saying around here. Here's his card Again, I am using the Great Grads Stamp Set which is retiring the end of this month. Too bad because… Read More »

I received my catalog (2009-2010 Idea Book & Catalog) a couple of weeks ago (yes, in a moment of weakness, I paid for two day shipping!). I couldn't wait to get my hands on it. OMG the stamp sets in the catalog are gorgeous. I did preorder several items (all the in-colors and some stamp sets) but have not played with them yet. I've been trying to use some of my old… Read More »
I found the cutest bikini pattern through a link on the Late Night Stampers forum. The pattern is from Fran at Night Owl's Studio. Her pattern included two cards with one being the top of the bikini (with the sentiment A Perfect Pair) and the other one as the bikini bottom (I'm behind you 100%). I decided to combine them into one card and because I don't have… Read More »
Today's card is for this week's challenge on Stampin' Up! Late Night Stampers' forum to make a card using one of the retiring stamp sets. I selected Independence day. I didn't have pattern paper that had the 4th of July theme so I thought I'd make my own. I stamped one of the stars from the stamp set in Whisper White Craft Ink and then heat embossed with White Embossing… Read More »
