I'm Happy Stampin'

Welcome to my new Stampin' blog. I have thought about starting one for a while and with the new catalog just coming out I thought this was the perfect opportunity. Hopefully this will serve as a place for new ideas, product information and fun! Please feel free to post questions and comments I really would like this to be a place for you and I to grow creatively. That said I am patiently waiting for my box of new goodies to come. If you were wondering what was on my must have list I will tell you a few things... I love the new birdie line so I got the Cheep Talk stamp set, the matching Good Morning Sunshine DSP , and matching So Tweet chipboard. I just couldn't resisit all of these coordinating products! It makes it really easy to put together projects that way. The other part of my order consisted of the Top-Note die and the new SU! texturz plates. I have seen so many beautiful cards and projects using these I simply have to try them myself. I will be sure to share with you ...

I made these cards using the new stamps, paper and punch by Stampin' Up! They are currently available for 20% off when you purchase the bundle by January 31st. You know I enjoy a new punch when I see one and this one was a lot of fun to use. I know this bundle reflects Valentine's Day but it will definately be good for birthdays, weddings, scrapbook pages and just sweet love notes. Please let me know if you are interested in the Love You Much bundle (item # 115405) $ 41.48.

I have several stamping events coming up. February 7th, Open House; I will be demonstrating new products and have free make 'n' takes. Please rsvp by January 30th. February 21st will be the all occasion Stamp-A-Stack; we will make 12 all-occasion cards, the cost for supplies is $25. Please rsvp by February 15th.
