Thursday challenge on Friday! - Come to club on Monday.

Hello everybody how are you? It's been a super busy week and the kids have been sick AGAIN so needless to say we are having our Thursday challenge start on Friday this week. You will have until Wednesday to complete it before we move on to another challenge. If you are a club member and you have been doing the challenges but you aren't sure how to upload them to you're computer, bring them on Monday and I will take pictures of them and post them to my blog.

This weeks challenge is:

RIBBON

Again, you can use it on what ever you want, a card, scrapbook page or some gift giving project, whatever doesn't matter. Bonus points to those who use it in an unusual way.

Here is a card from Patty who played along with the butterfly challenge. Isn't this a great card! Patty took full advantage of sale-a-bration and purchased her big shot then to receive the extra free products and look what she's done with her big shot already! I love how she used the envelope on the front of the card. She also used the beautiful new butterfly die which I absolutely love. Thanks Patty for playing along.

Stamp Club is Monday at my house there are 2 different time slots we meet from 1:00 - 3:00 pm and 7:00-9:00 pm. Please feel free to join us. Guests are always welcome at club for a $5.00 supply fee or free with a $25.00 order. IF you plan on coming please rsvp to me by Sunday and please bring you're own adhesive. I don't normally post the club projects before club, but I think these projects are so much fun and I wanted to give the club members a chance to e-mail the pictures of what we will be doing to anybody who they think would be interested in doing these projects. This first project is a super adorable basket, wouldn't it be a great may basket or on the tables at a baby or wedding shower filled with candy. Or even at a birthday party. Cute, cute, cute.This 2nd project is so much fun! I love the colors and the stamp set that we are using fifth avenue floral is a lot of fun to use. This first picture of it, is just the envelope. How cool is that! The 2nd picture is the envelope and the card that goes inside. Both of these projects use products from the new spring mini occasion catalog and during April for every $40.00 in products that you purchase from the mini catalog you will receive a free stamp from page 208 of the IBC.Alright so if you're planning on coming to club to do these fun projects let me know. Club members, please feel free to e-mail these pictures to anybody who you think might want to join you. Remember, for every guest you bring you get an emblem toward you're $20.00 SU gift certificate.

Now go gather some ribbon and play along with the challenge.

Have a fantastic day and happy stampin!

Had to brag! I got a promotion!

I love the fact that I can give myself promotions based on how hard I work. I've been promoted to Sr. Supervisor. So what does that mean you might be asking. Just a pay raise for me and lots of FREE stampin up products! How cool is that! If you're interested in starting your own stamping business, where you are the boss and you make the decisions on when you promote and when you get a pay raise, talk to me. Stampin Up has made it easy to get you're business rolling by offering a 3 month installment plan to pay for you're starter kit.

Today's cards are for some special ladies in my life. Some of my Stampin team members went above and beyond durng sale-a-bration to work their business and I just wanted to show them how much I appreciate them and to let them know how proud of them I am. So I sent each lady a special card, designed just for them. I did use chipboard on each of the cards and I have to say that I really love the way that each of these cards came out! Most of the ladies should receive them today so I can post them here.

This first card is for Shanun, she is going to be having an open house soon to try and get her business jump started and I just wanted to let her know that I have faith in her and she can do it.

This card is for Laura, who has rocked her business during sale-a-bration and she had an amazing class a couple days before the end of sale-a-bration and the sweet person that she is donated the proceeds to the relay for life. So I wanted to let her know how proud of her I was for doing so well and getting some new customers. She will go far in this business! And she's uber talented too!And this card is for Mel who just did amazing during sale-a-bration and she recruited her FIRST team member. I'm so proud of her and just wanted to let her know. This last card is for Jen, who is one of my Mary Kay team members and she just signed up in Feb and she is just doing AMAZING and just wanted to make sure she knew how proud of her I was.I am so blessed to have such wonderful women that surround me. Thank you all for loving what you do and sharing it with the world!

We would love to have you join our group of fun demonstrators. If you're interested we can sit down and talk and get that paper work started.

Or come on by Tuesday April 7th at 6:30 pm to see how much fun we have at our team meetings.

Have a fantastic day and happy stampin!

reach for the stars with chipboard

Alright ladies, so the challenge is on! If you read my post yesterday, I challenged you to use your chipboard. You can use it on any project you would like to use it on. I thought over the next few days I would show you some of the different ways that you can use chipboard. So today we are reaching for the stars with our chipboard. Isn't this giraffe just the cutest? I think he's so stinkin cute.

So for the chipboard:
1. I sponged on ink until I got the color that I was pleased with. 2. I then applied tombo mono multi adhesive (love this stuff) and then sprinkled glitter all over. This chipboard star really sparkles! Isn't that an easy way to use your chipboard? The cute little giraffe was colored in using blender pens and our pastels. It gives a really nice soft look to the card. Did you catch the texture on the creamy carmel cardstock, aren't those diamonds fabulous? Don't they just add that extra little touch to the card? If you haven't tried out the texture plates yet, you really have to. Did you catch the ribbon and the rhinestone brad around the star. I love how it color coordinates with the card.

Remember you only have a few more days left to take advantage of sale-a-bration. To order your Stampin UP products simply call, e-mail me or order right on line through my website http://www.angelariddell.stampinup.net/ click on "shop now".

Also remember if you're ready to get your own Stampin Up business started there are only a couple more days left to take advantage of the 15% off of the starter kit and don't forget that you get to pick out an extra free stamp set of your choice and if that didn't make it easy enough for you to sign up, don't forget that you can also pay for your starter kit over 3 months. I love being a demonstrator! I love helping people find their creativity. I love the fact that I can promote myself by how hard I work. I love the fact that I can't be fired or laid off. I love the fact that I get to work my work schedule around my family's schedule. I love that I get to meet new people all the time. I love the fact that I get the opportunity to earn free products all the time and I have the chance to earn free incentive trips too! How many people can say that they LOVE their job? Not many but I can honestly say that I LOVE my job!

Questions, please feel free to call me and we can get together and talk.

Have a fantastic day and happy stampin!
