It's like a I just discovered this stamp set! I used it a lot when it first came out and then I somehow put it away and forgot about it. I've used it several times recently when I discovered it was in the "Last Chance" List. It does make the prettiest petals. The designer paper…
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…
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…

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…

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…
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…
