I have Greenhouse flowers in Winter!

That right folks....Greenhouse Gala DSP in the winter time was what I needed during the super cold weeks past. I have a few sheets left and I thought I would use it up (remarkably, I still have a few sheets after this too...this stuff last forever!). All the cards in this post use the Greenhouse Gala DSP from the "big" catalog and the matching stamp set called Friends Never Fade for only $13.95.

Don't forget that for ever $50 you spend with me right now you get a FREE stamp set from the Sale-a-bration catalog! Play hostess to get the mostest! :)

If you want to join our team of great creators....the starter kit is amazingly 15% off and comes with an extra $50 in product! Ask me for details.

Happy stamping!

A cute little flower

These little flowers are becoming all the rage right now. You can see them in the "big" catalog too. It is a simple accordian fold, but you use a couple of scallop circles and stick them together. I used Melon Mambo for the flower and Daffodil Delight papers behind it. The stem you ask..... it is the stamp from the Bold Blossom set in the 2011 Occasions Mini Catalog and the whole set is only $9.95! I really like it and if makes a quick easy card. Don't forget the bright button for the center.

Don't forget that for every $50 you spend with me right now you get to choose a FREE stamp set from the Sale-a-bration catalog! Want to host and get more free stuff....give me a call!

Happy Stamping!

New Years Resolution

I really hate making resolutions. I am not quite sure why, but here are a few reasons that pop into my mind.

1. I hate doing something because someone says so.
2. I never keep them and that makes me depressed.
3. Nothing I ever set is realistic, so I am setting myself up for #2.
4. Everyone wants to know what they are and sometime you just don't want to share what you are working on...is that shame?
5. I don't like feeling ashamed.
6. They are always personal things that usually only benefit one person...yourself.

So this year peeps...I am making only ONE resolution that I am going to really work on. There are lots of things that I can do for self improvement, because I am sure not perfect. But all those things are my own goals and not resolutions.

This year I want to send at least 52 Thank You cards. That shouldn't be hard in my line of "work" right? It is harder than you think. But realistically, I should be able to send one per week. There is always gratitude that needs giving, even if it is just something small that goes unoticed by most.

I got this wonderful idea from a friend, and fabulous author, of mine Josi Kilpack. She has inspired me to do this and I think that if I only set one resolution this year, this is sure a worthy one since it benefits others and not myself. I hope you all have something you are working on, even if it isn't a resolution.

Happy Stamping!

Another Sneak Peek

I am attending a gathering for our extended team this Saturday and we are all doing a card swap. We had to use a set from one of the new catalogs (2011 Occassions Mini or Saleabration). I chose a set from Saleabration that I just love. The minute I saw it I had to have it. The possibilities are endless and I love how my swap card came out. I just hope the rest of the team enjoys it as much as I do.

If you want a new Occassions Mini Catalog or a Saleabration Catalog, just let me know. I can get one to you in a jiffy! You won't want to miss it because they are great! Don't forget to check out the January classes this month. Let me know if you are interested in attending one.
