First, can I just say, Stamping friends are some of the best kind of friends! I am always amazed at how kind, generous, and helpful so many of the people I meet through my stamping and crafting are. Honestly, it is one of the big things that kept me active as a demonstrator as I…

So, if you didn’t catch it last week, the Weekly Deals have changed up this month…instead of being a discount all week long, Stampin’ Up has chosen MORE items and offered them at a up to 30% off! Which is more than the 25% off they typically offer weekly deals. But the catch is, they…

Last saturday was my Stamping Bingo event and it was a ton of fun! We gave away a ton of prizes including a grand prize that included 4 packs of cardstock (a variety pack of each color family), a stamp set, and ink pad! Plus, they all got goodie bags filled with product and then…
I’m so excited to be heading out for a fun trip sans kids for the next few days, and while my flight leaves in 6 hours and I have yet to pack, I’ll keep it quick as I want to make sure to share with you the weekly deals and a couple ideas to use…
Over on the Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration blog today, everyone is sharing a Quick & Easy project for you to try. I thought that the card I created for July’s In Color Club by mail fit perfectly into this theme! Though there is a lot to look at, this card uses minimal supplies and comes together…
I know, I know… I’ve been super slow about getting more Holiday Catalog sneak peeks up! Eek, my bad! Well, I have one for you today and I’m sure I will have more for you next week – my holiday catalog preorder just arrived! In the meantime, here is a card I put together for…
