Team Shoebox Swap card

First off, a little business to take care of… click HERE to see the latest update on the Product and Ribbon shares happening now.

This is so weird.  I KNOW I wrote this entire post on Monday of this week and had it set to publish for Tuesday.  However I have no idea where it went!  Anyway… here we go again…

The card below I CASED from Patsy Waggoner on the new Stampin’ Up! demonstrator only Stampin’ Connection web site.  She did it with a slightly different color scheme but when I saw it I immediately fell in love with it and knew I had to make one too.

So, thanks to Tracy on my team letting me borrow her new Extra Large Two Step Bird Punch and Welcome Neighbor designer series paper pad I was able to create this card.  Some fabulous girls on my team and I got together Tuesday night for a shoebox swap and this is the card I had prepped for all the girls to create.  You should see the cards the other girls brought that I got to make!  They are truly awesome and I promise I will post them on my blog over the next few days so you can see the talent on my team!

Help Haiti – Buy a Stamp Set

In true Stampin’ Up! style…

For every I {Heart} Hearts stamp set purchased (now through Febuary 28, 2010)Stampin’ Up! will donate $2 to the American Red Cross’ Haiti Relief Fund. 

You may remember I used the stamp set here and here.  It really is a great and versatile set and I hope that you might consider adding it to your stamping collection and help Haiti at the same time.

Also, I am in the process of planning a "Stamp for Haiti" event.  Keep your eyes open for more information about this event.  Thank you!

Christmas Card NOT forgotten!

I couldn’t believe when I saw this on my display board the other day that I didn’t share this one with you!  I had opened it in my stampin’ suite and immediately put it on my display board so it wasn’t with all my other Christmas cards.  My deepest apologies Joan!

This card is simply gorgeous!  It uses the Petals a Plenty impressions folder and the Patterned Pines stamp set from the 2009 Holiday mini catalog.  THere is also some gorgeous shimmer on the trees using the shimmer paints.   The colors are Always Artichoke and Rich Razzleberry.  Isn’t it just beautiful?  Joan always does amazing work and I’m fortunate to have her on my Stampin’ Up! team.

Thank you Joan!

SAB Class Projects

Here’s what you missed by not coming to my SAB class yesterday!  I have to say I really had fun playing with the Happy Moments  stamp set and loved, loved, loved using the Good Neighbor Designer series paper.  If you think that paper is all about houses, don’t be fooled!  There’s a TON of great colors and patterns in there.  (Although the houses are super cute too!) You can’t go wrong.

It’s funny, while I was creating these cards (which were mostly CASEd from other cards I’ve seen recently) I noticed I’m a white fan these days.  I used to always lean toward Very Vanilla as I thought Whisper White was too harsh.  But I’m finding I really like the clean, crisp, fresh look of Whisper White these days.  Anyway… just a random thought I thought I’d share.  Change is good!
