I'm overwhelmed with joy, and happiness after spending 5 days with great friends (old and new). 16 of our Stamp It demonstrator group were able to attend, and wow what a great time we had. We were blown away by the new catalog, and all of the presentations. We all won prizes, and even found the YouCrew Prize Patrol (video below). Ate some great food, and shared a lot of fun. I've posted a few videos below from the event. As a leader, and a friend, some of the most special moments of the past week were watching my gals walk across the stage for their accomplishments. 3 of my team are rock stars, and I'm so proud. Congratulations to Lori Mueller, Oksana Semenska and Kim Quade. oksana on stage lori on stage kim on stage I love these gals so much, and am so proud.

April 11 Weekly Recap: The week in Youtube and Periscope

  Goodbye Weekly Deals: Stampin Up has announced this morning that they will be phasing out the “Weekly Deals” on April 18. From SU:

Weekly Deals began to help reduce overstocked inventory. As we’ve reduced excess inventory, the variety of products available for Weekly Deals has decreased, making the deals less exciting, so we’re replacing Weekly Deals with a less frequent but better promotion called Special Offers. These Special Offers will occur every few months as inventory allows (the goal is still to reduce overstocked inventory) with more products and discount tiers than Weekly Deals

CARD: Cool Rose Wonder Wedding Wishes Technique & Winner Announcement

stampin up rose wonder card

ROSE WONDER CARD

This is a very cool card made with the Rose Garden created by my friend Liz Miller. I love it when we have "happy accidents", and that's how Liz invented this cool looking technique with the white spots. Here's how she created this cool technique: I die cut the rose first then adhered to the card stock layer with the fine tip glue pen. Once set, I used a sponge dauber to color the flower. Then brushed the wink of Stella over the color. The strange white marks are the dried glue from where I slightly moved the die cut or had excess on my fingers.

VIDEO: How to make a Sunset using the Masking Technique
