Do you know what to do with your paper scraps?

Hi Everyone ~

Happy Friday.  I am really looking forward to the weekend and having some time to finish up my Scallop Rag Purse.  I will be posting the finishing pictures soon.  Don't forget to check back.

Do you save up all your scrap card stock and Designer Series Paper only to look and it and really not know what to do with it all?

It really accumulates doesn't it.  I believe mine multiplies while I am sleeping! I have so much of it.  I decided to start using it on a regular basis and as I do I will show you what I have created with it.

Today I would like to show you what I have been doing with some of my Scraps of Designer Series Paper.

I call these my scrappy cards ~

I created these all the same way.  I just changed up the color of DSP I used.  The all started with a Whisper White Card front.  I cut my 8-1/2" x 11" WW card stock into to pieces that measure 4-1/4" x 11" and then scored in it in the center at 5-1/2".

I took 2 or 3 piece of Coordinating Designer Series paper in two different colors and began tearing them into even smaller strips.  Then with my snail adhesive I layered them from bottom to top on my card front and trimmed the sides when I got to the last piece.

I used the sizzlets - Lots of tags to great my tag base for my sentiment.  Then finished it off by tying coordinating ribbon (scraps) to the tag and sponging on a little color around it.  I use dimensionals to adhere the sentiment tags.

Here are a few more I created ~

These were simple and fun to create.  And actually did not really use up a ton of DSP.  You don't need full sheets to do this and you can use more than two colors on a card.

Stay tuned for more ideas for your Scrap Paper!

Don't forget there are only a few days left to take advantage of our Sale-a-bration Promotion. 

This has been one of the best Sale-a-Bration Promotion Stampin' Up! has ever had.

Hi Everyone ~

I wanted to remind you that Stampin' Up!'s biggest Promotion is coming to a close in just 6 days.

This has been one of the best Sale-a-Bration Promotion Stampin' Up! has ever had. The products offered for FREE are far greater than years past and the variety of products are wonderful.  Not just stamp sets - paper and punches are included as well.  The Scallop Trim Border punch has been very popular!

One of my favorite stamp sets in this promotion has to be Happy Moments.  It is such a versatile stamp set.  But what I like most is that I can make quick and simple cards in less than 5 minutes.

Check them out ~

 

These were just super simple to create and I really like the way they turned out.

Check out this next card ~

This was just as simple to create but I added a few things to step it up a notch.

What a weekend...

Hi Everyone ~

Happy Monday!  Don't you love Mondays? 

I know so many of my Friends don't like Mondays.  They say it is the start of their work week or it marks the end of their weekend.  And it is and does.  I am not going to deny them that truth.  But I believe in putting a positive spin on things.  That is what I promised to do for myself in 2010!  Well actually I promised myself 2 things for 2010 - to stay in God's word so that I might strengthen my walk with the Lord this year and think positively.

So I wake up on a Monday and think - Thank you Lord that I am able to start a fresh new week today.  You have forgiven me my sins and I can start anew.  I looked out my window this morning and saw the sun shinning bright and thought yes - it's going to be a good day!

That is how my day started.  Hope your Monday is off to a good start also.

Last night I came home from a Stamp weekend away with my Stampin' Demo Sisters.  It was overloaded with old and new friends sharing their talents.  I learned so much and made some INKredible projects I can not way to show you.  I got so many ideas in my head I need to spend some time process them and get them all down on paper before I forget them.  Then the fun will begin when I get to make all these new creations that were shared.

I will be posting them for you to see over the next month or so.  It might even be longer than that - there were so many.

Today I am going to share with you a project I made - to give away as a little thank you!

They turned out so cute.  I started with a little matchbook notepad.  I purchased these on line.  Email me if you would like to know where - I have it written down somewhere.

I embossed the cover with the new Stampin' Up! textured Impressions Folder from the Occasions Mini Catalog - Perfect Polka Dots.

Love this new Impressions folder!

You can really embellish the cover in so many ways.  I chose to layer Flower Fusion flowers with a Rhinestone Brad in the center.  They are attached to the cover with a glue dot.  Super Simple!

You can chose any tiny sentiment you like.  My suggestion is to stamp it on Whisper White card stock and cut it to fit the space.  Much easier than trying to stamp it on there directly - it is are to center it doing it that way.

Here is a view of the inside of the cutest little notepad you will every see ~

How cute is that.  You not only have a mini notepad but I adhered the cutest little calendar inside the cover!

These are great to keep in your purse or near your computer.  You will always have paper and the date!

Thanks for stopping by today.  I hope you liked the project.

Don't forget to earn your FREE stamps today.  Place a $50 order with me and you get your choice of one of the Sale-A-Bration items.

I will be waiting for your email or call!

Happy Stampin~

It's fun being a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator...

Hi Everyone,

Happy Monday - it is a simply beautiful day - the sun is shinning and a new week has begun!

Brrr... I hope everyone who got all that snow this weekend is okay.  Hopefully byou are all shoveled out by now.  We actually escaped the snow storm on Saturday but as I was watching the news it looks like we might not be so lucky on Wednesday.  Seems they are predicting a storm coming our way late Tuesday night.

The Wicked Wind we have been getting is just seeping through our walls keeping our home so cold!!!!  Our walls are well insulated but I guess this old house is not a match for Wind. 

Ok back to why I love being a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator.  When you join you become part of a Stampin' Family.  Not only are you a part of Stampin' Up! and all that is good  but you become part of a smaller stamping family. 

You sign up as a demonstrator under a demonstrator and instantly become part of her Stampin' Family.  She becomes your Up-Line and you gain Up Up lines, side lines, and downlines.  These are all demonstators that make up your Stampin' Family. 

This Stampin' Family becomes your support team.  They are stampers that you will meet with, share ideas, business tips, advice and have fun stamping with.  You develop such wonderful friendships with these stamping demonstrators.  

My Stampin' Family loves to get together to stamp and share ideas that we can bring to our customers.  Last week a member of our group hosted what we call a Shoe Box Swap.

Shoe Box Swaps are where each demonstrator designs a card,  makes a sample, and cuts all the pieces needed for the card then puts it in a shoe box along with all the embellishments needed to create that card. 

Then we get together and work our way around the table making each card!  As we stamp we chat and catch up.  It is wonderful.  We learn new techniques, try new tools, and just enjoy our time together.  Everyone needs a night out!  Don't you think?

Today I will begin to show you some of the cards we created last week.

Below is the card I designed for everyone to create ~

It is an easel card.  I am sure you have seen them all over the internet by now.  I had not tried one before this one.  This was my first!  What do you think?

This card was created using one of my favorite new stamp sets - Vintage Vogue.  It can be found in the new Occasions Mini Catalog.

The photo above is a side view of the card.  I thought it might help you see how the easel card works.

If you would like to join my Stampin' Family please feel free to email me.  I would love to answer any questions you might have.  Whether you live near or far you are welcome to join my Stampin' Family.  I would love to have you.

Now is a great time to start your own business.
