March 3x3 Thank You Card

Here is my 3x3 Thank You card for March.

If you placed an order with me this month, this card will be in with your order! (or mailed to you if you placed an online order!)

This is a CASE from another Vancouver Regionals Make n Take.

(the original card is 3x6)

Speaking of Regionals, here are the swaps that I made.

I made a total 50 card fronts to swap, and got back so many nice samples! Next time your at my house be sure to bring your cameras.

Happy Stampin'!!!!

March Stampin Club & Shelli!!!!

We went to the Regional Stampin Up Convention in Vancouver February 26th!

We had SO much fun! Wish we could do it more often!

I ended up with 50 cards swapped out! Beautiful cards made by so many talented demonstrators! Plus we got to do make n takes! 5 in total! but I only finished 2! ( I was having way too much fun!)

For my Stampin Club this month, I decided to do one of the cards that Alison Solven showed us how to do during the convention.

A pop out card!

Here's the front:

And the inside:

And the second card was CASED from one of the make n takes at the regional convention.

Close up of the punched out flowers.

And the best part of any Stampin' Up! Event.... Meeting Shelli Gardner!!!!!

Like I told my Club members I was star struck! She is the nicest, most down to earth woman, so inspiring, and talented. Do you think I could say anything!?

If I could do it again, which I hope to do again, I would let her know that I'm so Thankful to be a small part of such a wonderful company!

What a great day! I was left with so many new ideas swirling around in my head! SO excited to share them!

Card Share

This card share was sent to me by a talented young lady named Makenna.

(Makenna is only 9 years old!) She made this card for her cousin Hannah's 10th birthday.

(I think we have found a future Stampin' Up! Demonstrator!)

Thanks for sharing your beautiful card Makenna!

Getting caught up!

We have been renovating our home, which seems like forever!

We have new kitchen (almost done) and we had the hardwood floors refinished!

So we had to move out of the top floor of the house, since the hardwood goes into the bedrooms too!. I promise when I'm all done painting the miles of base boards and trim, I'll post before and after pictures.

But for now I have to get caught up with what I've been up too!

I had a Mystery Hostess contest for this month! Lots of fun!

You had to place a $60 order (before shipping and tax) to get your free Sale-a-bration stamp set and then be entered to win $20 in free merchandise and a free level one hostess set!

Vincent picked the name out of the bowl:

Congratulations Gail!!!!!

Here are February's Stampin' Club projects:

I printed the "Sew Thankful" from My Digital Studio.

This next card is the Flip card that was shown in my monthly Stampin' Success magazine (every demonstrator receives). Original made by Lori Vonada. I made it my own by doing a sewing theme. Such a fun card to play with!

February's 3x3 Thank You card, included in every order bag.

We celebrated Vanessa's 2nd Birthday in January.

(can't believe our baby is 2!)

I made a few quick pages on My Digital Studio to email to family and friends. (I love that I can email them! Family loves it too!) If you click on the pictures it will enlarge.

You are now up to date with what I've been up to!

I am now working on my swaps for Saturday's Stampin' Up! Vancouver Regional seminar!

Should be 400 demonstrators in one room, making cards, watching demonstrations of "WOW" projects, and having a ton of fun! Just some of the perks of being a demonstrator!

I'm sure I'll have tons to share!

3x3 Thank you

Inspired by other demonstrators, I have decided to add a little 3x3 Thank you card to all of my orders. For the month of January I CASED this card from the back of the New Occasions Mini Catalogue! All of the Stampin' Up! catalogues (including the mini's) are full of easy to recreate cards! I challenge you to CASE one today!

Barb and I had a stamping morning together, and here is the 3x3 card she made!

Can you spot the Top Note die cut in this card?

Love it! New ways to use those dies!

Will be posting February's 3x3 card soon! OR maybe I should keep it a surprise!?

January's Projects

Happy New Year!

Hope you all had a nice holiday!

Here are the projects we made for January's Stampin' Club.

Love my new stamp set from the mini "Valentine Defined".

And another favorite Glimmer paper!!

Here is the album we made from the tins in the clearance rack. You can shop the clearance rack from my web site hit the "Shop Now" button!

Thanks for having a look!

Have a great day!

Christmas Open House

It was so nice to see everyone at the Open House!

It gave us a chance to catch up and get into the holiday spirit!

A HUGE THANKS to Barb and Michael for opening and decorating their home.

Michael made all of the food and treats for us! Have a look!

One of the many displays.

The whole food table.

The Prizes.

We gave out tickets for RSVP, bringing a friend, and for having random things like lip gloss!

You were then able to enter your ticket into the prize you wanted to win.

Our Make 'N' Take Table.

We had 2 to do!

We also had a few homemade gifts for sale too.

(Table is looking a little bare at the time of this photo!)

Enjoying the food!

Barb and I.

Thanks again to everyone for the wonderful evening!

Looking forward to doing this again next year!

Merry Christmas!
