  • 2 Days Left of Sale-a-Bration!

    Oh my, where has the time gone? I was talking with someone yesterday about how we had time to get their Sale-a-bration order in so they could get the Fresh Vintage stamp set and they reminded me that the 31st is Saturday!! Crazy!

    So, since I know there were some folks out there who had been considering taking advantage of the amazing deal that is the starter kit, I just wanted to remind you that you have until tomorrow night to sign up to get this killer deal. So what is it you get?

    Get over $345 worth of supplies for only $125 plus free shipping!

    and… everyone who signs up by the end of day tomorrow also gets a free package of designer series paper each month for the rest of the year!

    I know, crazy, right?!? And don’t forget, the starter kit is totally customizable too. So, you can swap out stamp sets, paper, ink, ribbon, even the punch for something that is perfect for you.

    So if you are looking at becoming a demonstrator as a hobby to get the sneak peeks and a discount on everything you order – or if you are interested in starting your own business where you set your own hours and can work in your jammies and earn money too – now is a great time to sign up! Check out all the benefits of being a demonstrator and let me know if you are ready to go by Saturday night!

    And now I thought I’d share another idea for how to use some of those cute Sale-a-Bration exclusive items like the Outlined Occasions stamp set and the Everyday Elegance organdy ribbon:

  • A Rainbow of Thanks

    I don’t know if you’ve heard, but while a lot of the country is seeming sunny and warm, Seattle has been getting strange bouts of hail and snow.  Rain, i would understand in Seattle in March, but snow??  Weird.  Anyway, I needed to put together some thank you cards for some recent orders and I guess I was thinking bright and sunny because this is what came out:

    Aren’t they so cheerful?!

    I grabbed my square punch, some scraps, and my always by my side Big Shot and pulled these together.  I glued the colored squares in a row to some scrap white paper before running them through my Big Shot with the Lattice embossing folder.  then just glue to your card front, add a stamped image and some ribbon and you have a bright sun-shiny card!

    Don’t forget! This stamp set – Outlined Occasions – is only available for another week as part of Sale-a-Bration.  You can get it free with your $50 order and it is a totally fun set to have since it is perfect for coloring in to match the rest of your card.

  • A Mixed Bunch Thanks

    See, I told you I was back and blogging… this is 2 days in a row! hee hee

    Well, between the holidays (and being way behind on my thank you cards) and just being so grateful for my customers, downline, and online crafting friends who have been amazingly supportive while I’ve been dealing with a new baby instead of posting.  So, I have “Thanks” on the brain. 

    This time, I pulled out a couple more fun new stamps.  First, the Mixed Bunch stamp set from the Occasion mini – and of course, it’s matching blossom punch!  Then for the sentiment I used the FREE Outlined Occasions stamp set from the Sale-a-Bration catalog.

    Its been crazy with snow and freezing weather here in Seattle, so I needed a bright and cheery card right now.  I think this fits the bill nicely!  Plus it can be very relaxing to just sit and color in an image (in this case the “Thanks” using my blender pens and inks).

    So, check out an example of why Sale-a-Bration is so cool:
