Christmas Lodge

2011-09-03T00:00:00.000-07:00

I created this card for the Sketch Frenzy Friday Challenge 08262011. I was having some major blogger issues which I discovered was user specific....stupidity! They keep changing all the sites that I am a member of and it messes me up. I could not figure out how to upload a pic and it actually be there. I finally noticed that for some reason I was working in the Edit HTML tab and not the new message tab. Evidently that made a huge difference.

So here is my card using Christmas Lodge from the new Holiday Mini. Email me if you wish to order or you can do so online through my website 24/7!

Supplies Used:

Christmas Lodge Stamp Set (Clear Mount/Clear Blocks)

Chocolate Chip, Cherry Cobbler, Wild Wasabi, and Whisper White Card Stock
Wild Wasabi and Vesamark ink
Dazzeling Diamonds, and Clear Embossing powder
Embossing Buddy
Heat Tool
Powder Pals

I hope you enjoy!

New Incentive Punch Card!!!!!

2011-08-12T20:49:00.000-07:00

Beginning with the new Stampin' Up! year I am starting a brand new Incentive Punch Card.  Requirements are as follows:

•Earn one punch for every $25 of product (before tax & shipping) you purchase.  Orders must be place through www.creativeapplescrampers.stampinup.net or in person. ***Totals must be in $25 increments.  Example:  $45 order will earn 1 punch and the amount over the $25 WILL NOT carry forward to the next order.

•You are responsible for keeping track of your purchases on the order verification sheet.

•Once you have all your apples punched bring your punch card and order verification sheet to place your free stamp set order AND to pick up a new card and order verification sheet.

•After your orders are verified, your stamp set will be ordered.

•Hostess a party and earn a free punch for every customer order of $25. (Hostess $’s, ½ price items, & club commitments are excluded)

And here is a picture of the front and back of the punch card:

 Each apple along the side of the card represents a $25 order.  Get all 20 apples punched to receive any Stampin' Up! stamp set for free, when you turn in the card and your order verification sheet!  Pick up your stamp set, a new card and verification sheet and get started on earning your next free set.

Now this is a really AWESOME incentive, but I want to sweeten the deal alittle further.  You can host a workshop and have twenty $25 customer orders and receive the Stampin' Up! Hostess benefits as well as a free stamp set from me!  Email or call me to reserve you workshop date today!  Keep an eye out over the weekend.  I will also be posting my first ever Virtual Class and Mail Club with sneak peak pictures and details on how you can sign up!

This card was named It's Your Day and was one of our Make and Take's from Convention 2011. I love how it turned out. I am still going through and editing picture for my blog. I have had a very busy couple of weeks since I returned home from convention. My kids started back to school today, so maybe things will settle down soon.

One of my +1's from convention was to add some clubs and classes to my schedule. I have several new clubs that I will be starting as well as some ribbon shares, AND a mail club. I am working out the details and will be posting all of this info really soon. Another one of my +1's from convention was to begin a daily post on my blog. I am not going to guarantee that one but I will be post more frequently. The last +1 for me is to begin a weekly tutorial. On this one, I may need some help. I need to know what you my viewers would love for me to show as my first tutorial. Leave me a comment!

Stampin' Supplies:

Stamps: Raining Flowers, It's Your Day

Cardstock & Paper: Lucky Limeade, Whisper White

Ink: Basic Black, Cherry Cobbler, Island Indigo, Lucky Limeade, More Mustard Classic Pads

"Stampin' Card Keeper Box"

Here is a couple pictures of one of the Make and Takes from our annual Stampin' Up! convention this year. We were given the box kit and all the supplies needed to decorate it. Our make and take sessions were so over the top this year. I only got the flower for this box complete and the fabric, yes fabric cut to cover the box lid. I am thinking I will get some of this fabric now and possibly cove the bottom of the box. Doesn't this box make you want to buy more and decorate them? I will be. I plan to buy lots of these and sort all of my swaps by category in them. I also plan to have a few of them to make up cards using our Free Convention Attendee only stamp set to send out to hostesses, customers, downline, etc. I loved the stamp set and that it would be so useful in our business on a daily basis!

Stampin' Supplies:

Stamps: Best Friends Forever

Paper: Island Indigo, Lucky Limeade (textured), Very Vanilla, Cherry Cobbler (textured), More Mustard (textured), Timeless Portrait DSP, On Board Medley

Ink: Basic Black Classic, More Mustard Classic

Appointment Book Page

2011-01-25T19:37:00.000-08:00

I have been brainstorming for a while on how I could create my own appointment book to use for scheduling workshops. I sat down this evening (with help from a friend on the MDS website) and created my table in Microsoft Excel. I converted the excel file to a PDF file. Then downloaded some free software online to covert the PDF file to a PNG file. Once the table was in PNG format and saved on your computer, you can open up MDS and browse your computer files throught the embellishments area in MDS. Once you add the table you can fill in the Days of the week, Month, and times as well as decorating your page.

Take a look and be sure to let me know what you think!

2011-01-13T22:24:00.000-08:00

I am at Leadership, really enjoying myself and learning about new ways to build my business with Stampin' Up! There are so many new and exciting changes and announcements coming soon and for the months to come. I have made many new friends, met and talked with Shelli, visited Momento Mall, KILLED my feet, and most of all..... made lasting friendships! After all, isn't that what Stampin' Up! is all about? So without further adue.... It's Friady! So that means Sketch Frenzy Friday Time!

This week's sketch was brought to us by Melinda Couden.

And here is my card using MDS.

My Next Organizing Misson

2011-01-10T09:47:00.000-08:00

I was surfing through "Stampin' Connection" and came across this....

Now, I saved this and have no idea whose creative idea this was. So please let me know, so I can give you credit.

I plan to have one crate per per color family. I already have two crates that I have my paper in, but love how this is organized. I plan to start this as soon as I return from Leadership.

I sat down during Christmas break and made this bag using Stampin' Up!'s Deck the Halls fabric. I also used the scallop square duo die. I hope you like.

I know I altered from my usual My Digital Studio sketch!

I just had to play with these! I thought the Jolly Bingo Bits were perfect for this sketch. I hope you enjoy and check back for more projects using these stamp sets!

Sketch Frenzy Friday SSF092410

2010-09-24T00:00:00.000-07:00

And instead of a card this week, I decided to scrapbook some of those moments we shared as a family, in July, out west! So here is the first!

Sketch Frenzy Friday: SSF091710

2010-09-17T00:00:00.000-07:00

Guess what day it is? You got it! FRIDAY!!!! Sketch Frenzy Friday to be exact! I hope you all are having as much fun as I am with these sketches. I really enjoy using MDS to create these challenge cards.

Before we get to the sketch, I wanted to apologize for not getting all of my posts up these week WITH samples. I have had a really hard time getting into a groove with my kids activities and my stamping business taking off. I have a club meeting Saturday, a workshop Saturday (with at least 12 RSVP's, maybe more), a workshop Sunday, and am doing a 3 demo prep top note class. Needless to say I have not been getting alot of sleep. Please bare with me as I get myself re-organized this weekend and get my groove back! Now to the sketch!

Here is this week's sketch:

And here is my card:

Water Color Wednesday # 2

2010-09-15T00:00:00.000-07:00

I do not have a sample for any of my posts this week. I will get them all completed but it will probably be during the weekend. On top of my kids busy softball and cheer schedule, I am preparing for two workshops this weekend! I have one hostess who has 12 RSVP's already! I am really excited! I will get some samples posted soon!

Watercoloring

Directions:
1) Dip the tip of a blender pen on to the corner of a Stampin' Pastel, then apply color to the stamped image.
