I was named Stampin' Up!'s #1 Demonstrator of the Year for 2011 (US)!!!!!!!!!!
OMG!!!!!!!! WOW!!! It is an honor, and truly amazing feeling. THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! To all of my demonstrator group, my customers, my stamp clubs gals and of course my family for all of your Stampin' Support!! You made this possible. I LOVE YOU!!!
I think it's finally sinking in, it came as an unexpected shock. Let's start at the beginning way back to last week when I checked into convention online
This card combines lots of fun new products from the new Idea Book and catalog. The main set is My Friend stamp set (122585 wood, 122587 clear mount), the background is the Fancy Fan Letterpress plate (123129) and the flags were created with the Perfect Pennants Bigz L Die (123126) for the Big Shot.
This is a really fun mini note card kit and envelope created with the new My Friend stamp set (122585 wood, 122587 clear mount) and Pocket Full of Posies designer paper (122354)
Lots of excitement going on here! The brand new 2011-12 Stampin' Up! Idea Book & Catalog has been released!! We have soooo many fun new products and stamp sets, so much to play with. And to add to the exciting times, I'm packing up to head off to Salt Lake City, UT for Stampin' Up's annual convention!! I can't wait to get there and see my team, and hang out with the girls. This is one of my favorite events every year. For Convention updates, be sure to check in on my Facebook page later this week (click here).
If you want to be a part of the good times at the next SU event, or have a wish list of 3 or more stamps from the new catalog...check out the demonstrator special >
And to hold you over until I get back I'll be posting some fun ideas from new stamp sets the rest of the week. Stay tuned.

Here is another super cute "seank peak" from the brand new 2011-12 Stampin’ Up! Idea book and Catalog that is being released July 1!! This vase image is from the new Button Buddies Stamp Set (122735wood, 122737 clear mount) that will be available in my store on July 1. It is attached to a "sour cream" container fold. Once my broken thumb heals ( accident details >), I'll try to put a video together.
I'm soooo excited for the brand new 2011-12 Stampin' Up! Idea book and Catalog that is being released July 1!! I've gotten a peak, and I'm dying to get my hands on all of these fabulous new products!! One of the many perks of being a demonstrator is getting "pre-order" stamp sets and products from the new catalog. I love that!! We are not allowed to post images of the sets, or catalog before it's released, but we can post projects made with them.
This super stinkin' cutie is from a new stamp set called Button Buddies (122735wood, 122737 clear mount) that will be available in my store on July 1. This set is filled with images that are made to go with our buttons! Look at Mr. Pig...TOO CUTE!!! Makes you smile doesn't it?
Yes!! The brandnew 2011-12 Stampin' Up! Idea Book and Catalog will be released July 1!!! It's a very exciting time around here, and probably the worst timing for my accident (I guess you're thinking there really isn't a good time to get in a motorcycle crash...and you would be correct!). This broken thumb will NOT keep me down, be prepared for tons of exciting new sneak peeks from the new catalog coming to this blog starting tomorrow!
How do I get the new 2011-12 Stampin' Up! Idea Book and Catalog FREE:
You've probably been wondering where I am, and why I haven't posted in almost a week? Especially if you've emailed me and received my auto-responder saying I'd get back to you on Monday and still haven't. First, my apologies! I'm truly sorry to leave you all hanging at such a crucial time in the Stampin' Up! year, with only 1 week left before this catalog is gone forever!! It was not my intention, let me start at the beginning...
Last week, my entire extended family traveled to Key West, Fl for my baby sister's wedding. Congratulations to my sister Robyn, and my new BIL Adam!!! The wedding was Thursday, June 16. It was incredibly beautiful, as was the bride (maybe I'm biased, she is my sister hehehe). We had a very special time to spend with all of my family (from my Nana on down).
We traveled home on Sunday, and I fully intended to be back at work on Monday, June 20. That Monday morning was a gorgeous one here in Massachusetts, and after being away from a week, all I wanted to do was take my beloved Harley Davidson Motorcycle out for a spin. One of the joys of owning my own business is setting my own hours, and thought to myself..."self, it's ok for you to go for a motorcycle ride and start an hour later than you planned" ... so I did!
Here's a gorgeous, and versitle card using the Blossom Petals Punch (121808) and the Framed Tulips Impressions folder (121809). Both are available in my online store.
Surf's Up, and so is this stinkin' cute surfboard card using the Summer Splash Stamp Set (123035 wood, 123037 clear mount) Click here for more inspiration from the 2011 Summer Mini Catalog. Stay tuned for more.
The Open Sea Stamp Set (123030 wood, 123032 clear mount) is such a fun, and gorgeous stamp set. So many great samples from it. This one from the Stampin' Up! Alaska cruise share. I love the embossed anchors, super, super cute!!!
Here are some really fun samples from the Travel Log Stamp Set (123080 wood, 123082 clear mount). These samples are from the Alaska Stampin' Up! Cruise.
Here's a pretty card using the On the Grow stamp set (123075 wood, 123077 clear mount), below the card is from the Pretty Postage stamp set (123095 wood, 123097 clear mount) both created by Karen titus. Click here for more inspiration from the 2011 Summer Mini Catalog. Stay tuned for more.
This is a super cool easel card created by Nancy Juliano. Nancy used the Hello Blossoms stamp (123102) in the summer mini catalog. The designer paper is also from the mini catalog, it's called Beyond the Garden (122342).
Here in New England it is hot, hot, hot out today!!! If you live here, or are familiar with the area you know summers can be humid and sticky, and that is what today is all about. Of course my mind instantly goes to the water and the beach and cooling off. This super fun card is perfect for today's heat, summer birthdays and parties. Created by Carol Payne, the card uses the Summer Splash Stamp Set (123035 wood, 123037 clear mount) it's gorgeous bright and eye catching. I especially love the seagulls drawn in...too stinkin' cute!!!
Last week I had the honor and privilege of an all expenses paid cruise for 2 to Alaska, all thanks to Stampin' Up! This was truly the trip of a lifetime, and what I love is SU gives trips like this away to demonstrators who earn it every year...anyone can do it (starting in June there will be 2 trips to choose from). Below is a collage of some of my fav photos, you can click on it for more of my pics! Thank you for making this trip possible!!
It's time to say goodbye! Hundreds of products from the 2010-2011 Idea Book & Catalog and Definitely Decorative brochures are retiring, and now is the time for you to get them before they're gone.
All retiring items are only available until June 30. However, the accessories are while supplies last, so don’t delay.

Everything looks good with The Open Sea Stamp Set (123030 wood, 123032 clear mount). This card coordinates the schooner sailboat with the Nautical Expedition Designer Paper (122343) and Early Espresso Bakers Twine (123124). The schooner is layered on the Two Tags Bigz die (115954). This card was designed by Rene Watson.
