Holly card

So, I'm not sure if I like the pearls on the holly...maybe it's too much. What do you think?
I LOVE the Ski Slope paper, though, especially with the Baja Blue ribbon.
The holly was stamped in Versamark and embossed.

Christmas Card

Here is another card made with the Snow Swirled set. This set is currently on sale for 15% off and is one of the cards we will be making at Cindy's Christmas card workshop on Sunday the 21st.

Windy Day

I just LOVE all my new goodies from the SU mini catalogue, but Season of Friendship is my favourite! I love how the tree matches my Whimsey wheel and makes it look like it's windy. I also love Autumn and these fall colours! I wheeled Whimsey and stamped leaves on glossy cardstock. I used some of my hodgepodge hardware and chocolate chip and more mustard ribbon.
Friday, I went to Ottawa to stamp and create with Trina. She took me out for lunch and we invited another friend, Linda, to join us. Later that afternoon, I got to visit with Linda before going home. It was a very fun day!

Colour Inspiration

Friday, at work, there were these coloured streamers on my co-worker's desk. I saw the colours and was inspired! I very seldom use my Bold Brights, but these streamers work so well together! And that piece of Elegant Eggplant thrown into the mix? Brilliant! So when I got home, I took out my Pixie Pink, Tempting Turquoise, Green Galore and Elegant Eggplant and created this card. Just goes to show, you can find inspiration anywhere, even at your crappy day job! LOL!

Oh, and BTW, I am now totally addicted to my Stamp-a-ma-jig, thank you very much Angela! God forbid I should stamp my sentiment without it, or else BAD things are likely to happen. Seriously, I went to add my sentiment here, and physically could not do it without the jig!

RHC thank you card

One of the free sets we got at Convention was the Ronald McDonald House Charity set, Say it With Scallops. For every set sold, Stampin' Up donates 2.00 to RHC.
I created this thank you card using the set and the square scallop punch.

Challenge Card

This is a challenge card made for THIS challenge. I loved the sketch!
All products from CTMH except the star punch and sentiment from SU.

Celebrate

Shelli has a blog! And she has challanged us to create a project with the word "celebrate", so I did! Look, Angela, I used the Stamp-a-ma-jig! (Angela was one of my SLC roomates and a huge stamp-a-ma-jig advocate).
I made other cards, but this one is my favourite! Stamp sets: Enjoy Every Moment
Card Stock: chocolate chip, Kiwi Kiss, whisper white
ink: chocolate chip, kiwi kiss
acc: old olive poly-twill ribbon, stamp-a-ma-jig

Birthday Balloons

I made this for a co-worker's daughter. I think the colours are perfect for a 10 year old.
Yep, these are old SAB sets...my SU order has not yet arrived! LOL! And though I LOVE the sets I got from Convention, none were suitable for a birthday card.

Pictures from convention

The SU tote and matching camera bag made from material that looks like our new designer paper. Ikea cabinet, Stampin' Up style!

My room mates, Dawn and Angela.

Me and my loot! All the stuff we demosnatrators got free for attending convention.

Just me.

News from Salt Lake City!

WOW! What a Convention! I had so much fun, and there is so much news to share! The biggest news, of course, is the new partnership SU has...I'll tell you about that in a minute.
On day Two, I was one of the lucky winners from Prize Patrole! I recieved new Holiday Treasures Designer paper, new in colour ink, wide Old Olive grosgrain ribbon and the new Word Flurries rub-ons! LOVE free stuff!
Speaking of free stuff, UPS came while Shelli was on stage on Day Three and announced he had a package for...EVERYBODY! The room exploded as 6000 ladies jumped from their seats and screamed! Then a couple of dozen UPS workers came running out to hand us our package. It turns out UPS donated the Ronald McDonald House charity stamp set to every demonstrator! How cool is that? I can hardly wait to use it and show all my customers this super awesome set!
Well that's about it. Oh, yeah...the "BIG" news...the "BIG" partnership that Shelli announced. SU is now offering exclusive SU only dies for the sizzix BIG SHOT! And we also offer the Big Shot and many other Sizzix dies! I was so excited when i heard this news! The projects I saw demonstrated with this exciting new tool were all so creative, fun and EASY! And who doesn't like easy? As a perk for Convention attendees, there are bundles available for pre-order at a discount! Thanks, SU!
