Paisley Prints is a great new stamp set (120817 wood, 121121 clear mount) that was introduced in the Holiday Mini Catalog. I love the cool style of the paisley inside the images of the tree, heart, pumpkin and leaf. This first card was created by Sharon MacKinnon, she stamped in Cherry Cobler, Delightful Daffodil and Always Artichoke for this great fall card. Below is a gallery of Paisley Prints displays from Stampin' Up's convention this past July (demonstrators got this set free for attending!).Paisley Prints leaf card for Fall

Be a Rock Star or just stamp like one! Whether it's for your Guitar Hero, or just for fun, you'll flip over this cool card using Stampin' Up!'s Extreme Guitar stamp.

September 3, 2010 by
I'm very excited to be presenting my 100th YouTube Video Tutorial!! WAHOO!! This Batman Chocolate Matchbox treat holder was inspired by one of my favorite roller coasters...Batman The Dark Knight. Originally, I'd made the blue box and matching card. Was stamping with the kids and friends, and my friend Shayna designed the black box with the spotlight and we just about flipped out over it. That become the new winner of the 100th Video, and it tops the stinkin' cute-o-meter!
A quick and easy project for the Batman fan in your life, using my favorite new punch the Bat Punch and the Matchbox die for the Big Shot. As you'll see, not only is the box fun, I had a blast making this video, from my son's Batman mood ring to some special effects (including my own Batman sound effects for the big shot hehehe).2010 Holiday Mini Catalog is here!

Win It In a Minute – SU Game Show
August 5, 2010 by
Every year at the Stampin' Up Annual Convention, there is a game show. It is always funny, and this year was not a disappointment. This year's game show was called "Win It In a Minute", an SU version of the popular game show "Minute to Win It". Instead of choosing random participants from the attendees this year there was a "qualifying" cup stacking game at the Flower Power party. My friends Cheryl and BJ wanted to play the cup stacking game, so I headed over with them, not realizing we were "qualifying" for anything. I thought we were just playing a game. After we each went, the gal at the booth wrote down our times and mine was the lowest on the sheet (granted there were only 10 names on the sheet at the time).My Digital Studio Scrapbooking

Here are some super cool My Digital Studio (MDS) scrapbook page layouts from another Tami W., my up-up-line Tami Waddell. She is really great with digital layouts, and she gave me her permission to share a couple she did of her family.

One of the best, most cherished, things Stampin Up has brought to my life is new friends.

WOW!!!! I just got back from Stampin' Up!'s Annual Conventionin Salt Lake City, UT, what an amazing event. I have sooo much news, ideas and more to share with you this blog will be rockin' over the next few weeks with cool new convention ideas! One of the biggest highlights for me from convention was the annual Stampin' Up! Awards night. This photo to the right is of a few of the demos in my group (including my mom). They are the BEST!
Upon check in I was surprised with a "Founders Circle" bag, which meant that I would be awarded a spot in the top 100 demonstrators of the company, and am invited to the annual Founder's Circle retreat. That's all I knew, I could have been anywhere from 100 to 1. I was shocked and shaking when they announced I had earned:

Artistic Etchings Newsprint

This simple, vintage Artistic Etchings (118517 wood, 102573 clear mount) card also used the new Newsprint Designer Series paper (117166) and the new Vintage Wallpaper impressions folder (120175). A little sponging with cherry cobbler on the edges, and a spritz gives this card the perfect amount of "vintage".Convention or Bust! Salt Lake City here I come
