Join My Hostess Club!

Yes, I am aware that I need to change my header! I will be spending a little time on my blog this weekend. Right now...I barely have time to breath! But, I do have a quick moment to introduce my very first Hostess Club! What a great way to build up your stamp stuff without breaking the bank (or breaking into one!) or having to explain to your hubby why you absolutely needed to spend "How much?" on ink, paper and wood blocks!! I must give credit to Stamping Granny for this idea. I am sure there are lots of demonstrators out there who do this but Stamping Granny was the only one I stumbled on that explained how it works. Then I wondered why I didn't come up with it on my own! Brilliant!

If you are interested, here are the details:

There will be 6 members in the club. Each Member will commit to a minimum merchandise order of $25.00 each month for 6 months (to June 2010). With shipping and tax (in California) this comes out to approximately $35.00 per month.

Once there are 6 Members, each Member will be assigned a month in which they are the Hostess, to be decided randomly (out of a hat!). Once this is done, each Member will be notified of their month.

All Orders will need to be submitted to me by the 15th of each month. Each Member order will be combined so that the Member Hostess of that month will receive Stampin’ Up!’s Hostess Benefits, which includes at least $15.00 in FREE Product and 1 FREE Level 1 Hostess Stamp Set. This Club is not good for any on-line orders through my Demonstrator Website. To qualify for this Hostess Club they must be placed directly through me. [Unfortunately, at this time I do not have Pay Pal, but I can take Credit Cards and Checks. For more details on this, we can discuss it once you join the club.]

There is no limit either…you can get “outside orders” for your month to boost your Hostess Benefits. With 6 Members you are guaranteed a workshop order of $150.00 but you could easily go above that depending on any outside orders you receive!

As a Member of this Hostess Club you will receive a FREE current Catalog & Idea Book and any Mini Catalogs that are released during the club period. Also, during your Hostess Month, you will also receive an extra little something from me with your order as a big “Thank You!”

Thanksgiving Thanks!

It has been a really long time since I've made anything! I have been playing around with stuff but just no time to actually create! We went to our niece's for Thanksgiving yesterday and I was itching to make something, so this is the Thank You card I made. Considering I am not usually one to distress anything (I am a type "A" personality so to "distress" something is a little, well...distressing to me!) It took everything I had to crumple up that nice, smooth Very Vanilla cardstock! But I think the end result is very rustic and Fall-like even though our weather here is more like summer! Everything is Stampin Up! except the leaf. I used Old Olive cardstock for the base and Soft Suede cardstock behind the Very Vanilla cardstock which I ran thru my Big Shot using the Top Note die. I sponged the Very Vanilla CS with Soft Suede and Crushed Curry ink before I crumpled it quite a few times! Then I sponged it a little more! I also used my Color Spritzer tool with my Soft Suede marker for the little dots! I finished off my card with Old Olive grosgrain ribbon and linen thread. I have to tell you, I think the Big Shot is the best thing ever! I absolutely love it! Thanks for looking!

Yay!! I'm Certified!

No, not certifiable (well, that might depend on who you ask!) but Certified by Stampin' Up! for My Digital Studio! I can now confidently share with you all of the many wonderful qualities of this fun and fabulous product! Stay tuned...one of these days I will have enough time to play with my stuff and update my blog a little bit. Hmmm....I wonder when that will be? Hopefully not too long! Thanks to those who randomly stop by and check out my blog. One day you might actually see something new!

I have lots of good excuses!!

Yikes! I can't believe it has been a month since I last posted. Well, I have had a few things going on! For one, I am a new grandmother - again! That is very exciting! Another girl! She is so tiny! I have also been busy sort of playing with My Digital Studio and getting my certification. Well, I just finished that and here is my very first project!

Well, what do you think? I think it's very cute! Of course, the one I sent to the printer is wrong, which is why you should always check your project! Check it again, then check it again! Oh, and also check your facts! Ha! The one sent to the printer has Gianna weighing in slightly less. And you know I didn't just order one! Since I have now mastered (sort of) My Digital Studio (MDS) I plan on updating my blog and header and doing all sorts of stuff! MDS is not just digital scrapbooking-it is a digital paper crafting solution! And its fun! Click here to order your own copy of MDS.
