June Workshop

Earlier this month, I did a workshop for an old friend. As the hostess, she was able to get many free things:
- Free Idea Book and Catalog ($10 value)
- Free stamp pad of her choosing ($5.95 value)
- Free exclusive stamp set only available to hostesses ($18.95 value)*
- Free money to spend on anything in the catalog ($15 value)*
*Based on sales made at her workshop

I also gave her a gift-- 4 mini-cards with envelopes in a homemade box:










She and her guests also had the opportunity to make 2 cards. At her request, we made a Father's Day card and a graduation card/gift card holder.


With a houseful of guests, good food, good conversation, and a fun activity, the workshop served as a nice break from the busyness of the day.

If you're looking for a fun and relaxing night with friends while earning free stuff let me know!

May Scrapbook Class

I began scrapbooking a couple of years ago. I've found it to be quite relaxing. It's a wonderful opportunity to organize all the memories of the year.

Scrapbooking can seem somewhat daunting at first. How do you fill up all that space? How do you organize everything? I think this is one of those things that is actually easier than it looks.

To illustrate that point and to share the love I have for scrapbooking, I held a "Scrapbook for Beginners" class a couple of weeks ago. I demonstrated how a 6"x6" page can made into an 8 1/2"x11" page. Then, that 8 1/2"x11" page can be made into a 12"x12" page. We did a layout that could accomodate up to 4 pictures.

Stamps: Fast and Fabulous, Broadsheet Alphabet
Paper: Elegant Soiree Designer Paper Series, Crumb Cake cardstock, Baja Breeze cardstock, Very Vanilla cardstock
Ink: Chocolate Chip Classic Stampin' Pad, Regal Rose Classic Stampin' Pad
Accessories: Big Shot, Elegant Lines Embossing Folder, Very Vanilla 5/8" Grosgrain Ribbon, Stamping Sponges, Stampin' Dimensionals, Modern Label Extra-Large

There is a cost to attend classes, but the fee is waived with a minimum purchase. Let me know if you would be interested in attending a class in the future!

April Workshop

At a Stampin' Up! workshop, guests get the opportunity to make and take home 2 cards for free. All supplies are provided. It's a fun-filled time of creating, talking, and food!

Stamps: Cheep Talk
Paper: Certainly Celery cardstock, Whisper White cardstock, Rich Razzleberry cardstock, Brights Patterns Designer Paper Series in Rich Razzleberry
Ink: Rich Razzleberry Classic Stampin' Pad, Old Olive Classic Stampin' Pad
Accessories: Basic Rhinestones, Scallop Trim Border Punch, Stampin' Dimensionals



Stamps: Fun & Fast Notes, Cheep Talk, Fast Flowers Standard Wheel
Paper: Daffodil Delight cardstock, Pumpkin Pie, cardstock, Whisper White cardstock, Early Espresso cardstock, Wild Wasabi cardstock

As a demonstrator, I provide all the supplies for the workshop. If you would like to attend a workshop, you can host one! As the hostess, you can earn free merchandise. Plus, just for hosting, you will get a free stamp pad, a free Idea Book and Catalog, and a gift! Let me know if you're interested!

Stampin' Up! for the win!

I like paper. I like making things from paper. When I attended my first Stampin' Up! workshop over a year ago, it became I LOVE paper and I LOVE making things from paper. I was hooked. There was no turning back. I fell in love with Stampin' Up!

Here are my top 2 reasons for loving Stampin' Up:
#1- Everything matches! The cardstock, patterned paper, inks, and ribbon come in coordinating colors. Even the punches coordinate with many of the stamps. I used to spend a lot of time trying to find things that matched. No more!
#2- The quality of their materials and products is top-notch. For example: The cardstock is dyed all the way through meaning there's no white peeking through when it's cut. I know I am getting the best.
