Stampin' with Atty-tude:

Two Weeks Only!!!

Where do great stamps go when they retire? Hopefully to your happy home to be useful for years to come. Please look it over the Retirement list to be sure any of your favorites aren't gone forever.  Even more important: You'll receive FREE SHIPPING if you place a $70 order before December 23rd.

You can place it either on-line on my website or by calling or emailing me. I know it's a really busy time for all of us but, if you can please grab a minute and check it over before they're gone. Or better yet, download & fill out a Wish list for your loved ones to treat you to a super stampin' surprise!

Thank you & Happy Stampin'

Scrappin' & Stampin' Make & Take for Give Me Time Retreats

Last Saturday, I had a great time w/Give Me Time Retreats' group of scrappers. Those ladies are so fun & very dedicated to their craft. Some stay up til all hours of the night...scrappin' the days & nights away.

Thankfully, most take a break to do a Make & Take w/Stampin' Up's latest & greatest. They've asked me over the past two years to simplify my layouts', especially in regards to the number of steps, so that they can still come out w/great pages while getting back to what they came their for...power scrappin.

Here's what I came up with...
My cheif time saver was using the Stampin' Around wheel to make our own, cordinating background paper, using the Old Olive Ink Cartridge & Cupcakes wheel. It's sooo cute! Also, you already know one of my favs is the Simple Bday Thanks Stamp (One of the SU Bday stamps on Special in October!) & Top Note Die. So, you could say this layout has all of my favorite elements....for now...Newbies are just arriving, so I'll be posting a new love shortly, for sure ;)

Stamps: Simple Birthday Thanks, Cupcakes Standard Stampin' Around Wheel, Happy Everything
CS/Paper: Brocade Blue, Old Olive, Pumpkin Pie, Whisper White, Real Red
Ink: Old Olive, Basic Grey, Brocade Blue, Real Red
Accessories: Crimper, 1/4" Circle punch, Sizzix Bigz Die Top Note, Small & Large Tag Punches, Striped Red Ribbon, Rich Regals Brads, Chunky Red Glitter, Mono Glue, Dimensionals.

Hope you're having a fantastic Saturday!

P.S. Sorry for the time between posts. I've had a really, really bad cold. I've been calling it Bronchitis, although never got it diagnosed since I've had it so many times, I knew it was time to step up my asthma inhalers & rest as much as possible. Which I did. I slept 5 hours on Tuesday, while the kids were at school, managed through Wednesday, because it was Quintin's 6th bday, and slept as much as I could the other days. Feeling much better & hoping to dive into the World Card Making Day Challenges over on SCS. I'll post my creations as I go, later today. It's a little bit grey today, so what a great excuse to stay in and stamp!

It took me quite a while to pull together my first order. I wanted it all (which is why I became a Demonstrator!!) Speaking of which, Stampin' Up is also offering an AMAZING Demo Starter kit. You can sign up to be a business demo or just to get the discount. Either way, you won't be sorry...especially at only $99 for the Starter Kit. For more info, check my SU site here to find out more.

Well, that's all about business & next will be more about stampin' fun. I've already received the Demo Sneak Peek items (another great benefit of being a demo!) I will get busy & back to posting, ASAP.

Also, I went to the Scrapbook Expo over the weekend & had such an amazing time! I'll post my projects for your inspiration. None are Stampin' Up, but, I'm sure, like me, you'll get lots of ideas firing when you see these great projects.

Happy Monday,
Steph
