We finally got our family photos for 2007 done tonight. I am so happy with how all the pictures turned out, I just had to share.

Wrapping Up The Holidays

Well once again I'm a little slow passing Stampin' Up Specials on. Our Thanksgiving has been so busy, that I lost track of time. (Camping outside of Best Buy on Wednesday night didn't help matters either.....) Anyway, I finally had a moment to sit down to the computer and get caught up with all my e-mails.

Stampin' Up has a special promotion going on November 23-December 15th (Quantities are limited) Once these items are gone, they are gone! My favorite is the 15/16" Satin Ribbon in Chocolate Chip and Purely Pomegranate, they are buy one get one free!!! Tags For All Stamp Set (in the winter mini) is 20% off and the Designer Gift Card Holders are 30% off!!! View the entire flyer under the "my links" section. Purchase any of these items from the flyer by November 27th (Tuesday) and I'll also give you my 20% off discount. Can't beat a deal like that!

Happy Wrapping!

Spring-Summer Preview Catalog

Well I saw it today with my own eyes.....wow! The Spring-Summer Catalog is going to be awesome! The new papers...wow! Stampin' Up never lets me down. Host a qualifying workshop in January ($350) you get to pick out any stamp set from the preview catalog as an added bonus! Also customers can take advantage of a Valentine's day bundle in January, which includes two spools of ribbon (Real Red and Regal Rose), Cello Bags and a Happy Heart Day Stamp Set. This set is great for making cute Valentine's....I already have ideas for Ashton's class!!! This catalog also features Rub On's, very new to Stampin' Up! If you have ever used them....you will know how awesome they are. Great way to make cute unique cards, projects or scrapbooks. Then combine that with the new papers, wow! I won't blow all the surprises, so I'll stop there. If you are interested in pre-ordering the spring-summer catalog ($6 each, my cost) contact me ASAP, melsagaser@hotmail.com. Catalogs will arrive January 1st...I just hope the UPS guy is on schedule this time around. (not a day late)

Christmas Card Design Complete

Yesterday I spent about 8 hours or more in my craft room working on our Christmas cards. I have about 65 done. Yeah! (My goal is around 100 so nobody gets left out this year). They are again, a lot of work!! I told myself this year we are going simple with the move and everything, I guess I was wrong! I had to do a lot of coloring, cutting, glittering and I even stitching. Yes, you read it right, I got out my needle and thread and stitched my cards together. Hard to see the glitter, but in person it is "WOW".

I did two variations of the card to use some more of my designer paper. I didn't want to get stuck with a bunch left over....worked out pretty well.

I just have a hard time scanning these cards straight. Sorry! Now I want to see your Christmas Card Designs. (E-mail me your designs at melsagaser@hotmail.com)

Card Basics: Certainly Celery & Basic Black Cardstock, Wintergreen and Rose Red Prints Designer Paper, Festive Favorites and Sincere Salutations Stamp Sets, Markers, Black Stazon Pad, Glitter and DMC Floss.

I'm Honored & Shocked!

I got an e-mail this afternoon...."Hi,I am in the process of creating my November newsletter for my customers and I would like to include a link to your scs gallery to show them your card done with the stamp set Love & Joy. I will be sure to give you credit for this sample. Are you okay with this? Thank you. Jeanette" I was speechless, shocked and honored that someone liked my work that much. Makes me want to go downstairs and be creative......

Here it is again, my Love & Joy Swap Card.

I'm Crazy, I'm Hooked!

Well tonight I decided to make these paper bows I have been seeing everywhere....they are so stinkin' cute! I just had to share. I've attached the link, where I got the pattern.

Club girls, be prepared we will be making bows! If I don't have all my two sided paper gone before then.....

This bow was done with our double sided "Winter Green" Paper.

Wild About You

Well, I actually started working with something other than my Halloween stuff. Yeah! I was ready for a change of pace. I have been working on this wall art for the kids' bathroom for a few hours. I still think it needs something....not sure though. (If I look at it enough, maybe I'll figure it out!!) It does look good in the bathroom though and ties in the blue nicely, which I was happy about. You have to see the whole bathroom to totally understand. I'm going to do a 12x12 scrapbook page for the other wall, I bought a cute shadow box from Hobby Lobby today....I just need to narrow down the pictures I'm going to use. My problem is there isn't enough hours in the day to get everything done that I want to do. Plus today was an off day for me...not feeling the best. (My neck and back are out of whack...throws me off a little.)

WANTED:
I am interested in seeing your Christmas Card Designs. If you created something that you would like to share, I want to post it to my site here and we'll vote for the best layout. I will be offering prizes. The cut off to submit your designs is November 30th. E-mail me at melsagaser@hotmail.com. Happy Stamping!!
