Make your own Decor Elements!

Hi Everybody. As some of you know I L-O-V-E our new decor elements! While I was visiting one of my favorite blogs, Stamp with Heather. She was showing how she used the Big Shot machine and our vinyl that Stampin UP sells. BRILLIANT, why didn't I think of that. So while the girls where napping yesterday I die cut out a bunch of snowflakes with our white vinyl. Popped them up on the wall and voila, seasonal decor elements that can be changed with each holiday or season. I can also tell you that they do come off easily when you want them to. I placed one somewhere that I didn't really care for, so peeled up one edge of the snowflake, slowly peeled off and no marks left on the walls. How cool is that! I'm going to add a few more to the left side of the mirror, just haven't gotten that far yet. I love how the white, just POPS on my red wall.Today is mine and my husbands 5th wedding anniversary. I can't believe that we have been married for 5 years already. Wow where does the time go. We have been together for 10 years (coming up in July). He's an amazing husband and father. He's very supportive of me and all my ventures. He watches the girls every time I have a Stampin Up event (which is pretty frequently). We are perfect for each other. I guess I should probably go make him a card and tell him all this right? So guess what we are doing tonight? He wanted to take me out to a fancy dinner and take me away to Maine for the night (which if Hannah didn't have a broken collar bone, I would have said yes in a heart beat). So I told him no fancy dinner, just take me somewhere half way ok for dinner and take me to get some more organizational products for my craft room. He said "ok". LOVE THAT MAN!
So hopefully soon, my craft room will be up and running and maybe I can even have some of my events in there. Yippee!

Have a fantastic day everyone, and happy stampin!

Downline Meeting, look how much fun we have.

Our monthly downline meeting was this past Tuesday. We had a great time! We talked about upcoming Stampin Up promotions and events. This is the project that I put together for the ladies to do. How cool is this bookmark! I love it! The first picture is a full view shot and the second is a close up. Anybody who would like to make this project, stay tuned in March! I will be offering a monthly "giftables" class. At each class we will be making projects that would be perfect for giving as gifts, or keeping for your self! The first class will be in March. We will be making this bookmark, a bracelet (yes you heard me right) and a necklace. All using Stampin Up! products. There will be a discount price for those who sign up for 6 months worth of classes at a time. So keep your eyes peeled here and in my e-mail newsletter. Of course if your part of my downline team you get to do these great projects for free at our monthly team meetings. Thinking that Stampin Up is something you would like to do, then join us on Feb 3rd for an opportunity night. We will be discussing what it means to be a Stampin Up demonstrator, answering any questions, watching a short video as well as stamping! (of course.) Please RSVP by Feb 2nd if you plan on joining us.

On a more personal note, I had told you that Hannah had broken her collar bone. Well look at this cutie patutie all wrapped up in her ace bandage. Thank you all for your concern, she is really doing great with it and we where told by the doctor that we can take off the bandage tomorrow. Yippee!

That's it for today, oh yeah make sure to check out the retiring accessories list a few posts down. I will be updating it daily as product inventory is depleted. Also the Inventory Blowout special is a first come first served basis, so if you want any of the accessories on that list at a discount order them quickly.

Ok that's really it for today, have a fantastic day and happy stampin!

The joys of being a mom

Hi everyone,
I hope that you had a fantastic Christmas! The girls had a great time and I'm ready to get them back on a schedule.
I just wanted to let you know that I won't be around for a while. My 1 year old, Hannah, broke her collar bone the day after Christmas, so I have to be a mom and take care of her.

Which brings me to my reason on Why it's great to be a demonstrator:
I can work my schedule around my family. When something comes up with my family I have much more flexibility with my schedule.

Customer Christmas cards

It's rainy here today in Western MA! Yuck, I'd much prefer snow. Today I thought that I would share with you some cards that I received from customers. I love getting handmade cards in the mail from my customers, it makes me feel very special and I love to see what my customers are doing with their products. This first card was done by Renee. She embossed the tree in Gold and it looks just stunning. Renee was part of the big shot club, and as you can see here she added the top note die on her card. Love it!
This second card was done by Laura, it is a very stunning card and I'm not doing it any justice with the pictures. It is an acetate card (clear card) with snowflakes all over it and then she used some designer paper, either from ski slope or holiday treasures, I'm not sure right at the moment. I could go check but I'm being lazy. She stamped the red parts of the tree and punched them out and popped them up with dimensionals and then she topped it off with our designer brads and a red rhinestone brad in the center. Just beautiful. I've added a close up picture so you can see more of the detail. If you click on the picture it will come up very BIG and believe me you won't miss any details.
Thank you both very much for the stunning cards.

I just want to wish everybody a restful and happy, joy filled Christmas. Don't forget the real reason for the season!

Why I love being a demonstrator Part 3: Who doesn't like to get stampin products at a 20% discount? Wouldn't you like to get your favorite products at 20% the catalog price? Contact me to answer any questions you might have about becoming a demonstrator.

Decor Elements and why it's great to be a demo part 2

Hi everyone! Today I thought I would show you one of our new home decor products. This one is in our kitchen. This particular one is a hostess only decor elements that you can get for having a workshop or placing and order of over $300.00. I think it really adds to the kitchen and everyone who comes it loves it. I have another one that will be going in the bathroom as well as one that will be going in the living room. When I get them up I'll post them here. They are really easy to put up and the great thing about them is that they come down easily, without ruining your walls. If your interested in purchasing any of our home decor products or any stampin up products feel free to call, e-mail or place your order on line through my demonstrator website. Click on "shop now".
I have two pictures, one is a close up so you can see the detail of the decor elements and the other is a wider shot so you can see how it looks in the room.


Why it's good to be a demonstrator part 2:
I love being a demonstrator, because of all the great people I get to meet and all the friendships I've gained from being a demonstrator.

handmade Christmas ornaments and why it's great to be a demonstrator

hello everybody,

Sorry the posting has been sporadic lately. Nov and Dec are very busy for me, not only is it the 2 major holidays of the year, it also happens to be both of my daughters birthdays. One is 2 days after Thanksgiving and the other is 2 days after Christmas, talk about BUSY! On top of all that my Stampin Up business has been keeping me busy too!

So here are some samples of handmade ornaments that I have been teaching this winter. Some have been at classes, others at workshops. I enjoy making Christmas ornaments and half of the ornaments on my tree are hand made. This year I did a mom&me class and we had a fantastic time making ornaments. I had Kayla help out with the class and I think she was beside herself with excitement.

How cool is this snowflake! It was cut out of chipboard with the big shot machine! If your interested in joining a big shot club, call or e-mail me to get started! Or come to my house on January 13th from 6:30-7:30 pm,to see what the big shot is all about and to see if it's something you would be interested in having.

Why it's great to be a demonstrator:

My reason today, why it's great to be a demonstrator is because you get to purchase products during a pre-order time earlier then anyone else. Wouldn't you want to get your hands on the latest Stampin UP products before everybody else?
