Storm Updates and Paper Pumpkin Giveaway and Free Gift Deadline is March 10

STORM UPDATE
So that "little" snowstorm they were predicting ended up hitting my area with some wet, heavy snow, that took down trees and power lines. We are used to snow here in New England, but this was heavier then our poor trees and power lines could take, and much of our region ended up without power. I was fortunate to get my power back after a day, but Linda's is still out.
As the power came back on, the supplies for my new office remodel arrived. I had outgrown my old office set up, and needed to re-work the space to better fit our needs. Once it's complete, I hope to be run more efficiently. Construction is beginning today, which has my tiny temporary office space even more crowded and a little tight to work in. My stamp space (Also known as my dining room) is totally covered with office supplies during the construction.
As a result, I have to reschedule my Friday Facebook Live Class until next Tuesday. And we have to cancel Tuesday's Stamp Scoop (we will be back on March 27 with episode 50). Hopefully Linda gets her power back soon.

How to create the "Distressed Metal" look with Stampin' Up! Foils on today's live online class and video. This class is final part of my series on the Waterfront Stamp Set.

Here's a picture we took after she hit in 2014 of the first 5 Million Dollar sellers (at the time there were only 5). In order (right to left): Mary Polcin, Lisa Fast, Joyce Feraco, Tami White and Connie Heisey. If you're wondering what stamp set was my Million dollar set, it hasn't been released yet. But I did get to name the stamp set White Christmas.The Stampin Scoop Show – Episode 49 – The Waterfront Stamp Set

THE STAMPIN SCOOP SHOW – Episode 49
Waterfront Stamp Set February 27, 2018
This is the episode where Linda and I admit to being intimidated by a stamp set lol. Last week I did a poll on my Facebook page asking what your favorite Occasions Catalog products were. And the Stampin Up Waterfront Stamp set was one of the favorites from the poll. Once I started stamping with this stamp set, I quickly became addicted to it. It's one of the most versatile stamp sets I've ever worked with.
I had so much fun making cards with this set (after I got over the initial fear) that I couldn't stop myself. I am starting a series of Waterfront projects and today's scoop is part 1 in this series. Stay tuned to my blog this week and I'll be sharing more, including instructions and measurements.BLOG HOP: Share My Branch from the Bird Banter Set
