Before I go on, I am wanting to share my Story on how I got started with Stampin Up. My Story Many years ago, I was building a pond in my back yard with my Dad.

There are only 13 days left to order from the old catalogue.

I used this embossing folder in many of my Cards. You can actually see the folder used in the post on May 16th. Another set that I loved was Vintage Vogue. Item # 118598... Read more →

I got my new catalogue last night. This is the best time of the year. Out with the old and in with the new.

I hope you will be as pleased as I am. My Sneak Peak order is getting over the top but......... BUT I was pleased to learn that there are some Carry Overs from the Mini. Stamp Set Name Item...

As I said yesterday, I wanted to show you some pictures of the Big Shot Winner at our Semi Annual Paper Crafter's Affiar. For the weekend, Sue and I were wanting the winners of the many prizes to get into the Stampin Up excitement. We told them that at the Stampin Up events when someone won, they would jump up, dance, scream and whatever. The excitement was getting more and more like what we were... Read more →
