I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving! We had a wonderful time going to my parents' house. It wasn't too cold outside, either. We actually got to take a nice walk after dinner. It really was a pretty day. I wanted to show you the latest Christmas decoration that I've made with my Country Living …

I just saw the bundles that Stampin' Up! has on sale, and they're WONDERFUL ! I figured the bundles would be good, but not THIS good! There are so many that I like. It's going to be hard to narrow them down to the ones I'm going to purchase. I think you'll really like them! The first one on the li…

I've owned the Country Living Holiday Collection Stampin' Kit for about a month now, and just got to play with it last night. I REALLY like this kit! This ornament only took me a few minutes to make. It's so nice to have the paper die-cut to fit the chipboard! It's SO easy! Having double-sided pap…

The long awaited Holiday Extravaganza sale begins the day before Thanksgiving (Nov. 26) and ends Monday, December 1. It only lasts a few days, so you'll need to hurry! Here's what I know so far: -- The sale is a limited time, 20 to 50 percent discount on select product bundles from November 26 through December…

Surprise! I know I usually don't post on the weekend, but I wanted to make up for not posting earlier in the week. This card was made by one of my uplines, Cheri Stojkovich. This shows what you can do with the negative part of the cardstock after cutting out the Top Note die-cut. If you cut your cardstock to 4-…

Isn't he cute? This card was made by a good friend of mine, Annette Harling. I love how she used the Iridescent Ice Emboss Powder on Mr. Twigster. He's so sparkly! I also love the cute paper and the scallop edge! Annette is in my swap group, and she always makes great cards! Supplies : Mr. Twigster (Mi…

Since I'm still playing catch-up from being sick, I'm going to post some pictures of cards that I have received from other demonstrators in swaps for the next few days. I'm hoping I can start making new things very soon! I'm having stamping withdrawals! This one is a beautiful Thanksgiving card made by…

First, I want to apologize for not posting the last two days. I've been sick since Saturday morning, and just couldn't get going to post. I'm much better today, thank goodness! Pretty much feel back to normal. I'm so excited! I've received my first blog award. One of my uplines, Tami Waddell, nomin…

It's Friday! Are you ready for the weekend? I know I am! I got these two cards at a training night I went to back in September. One of my uplines, Tami Waddell, came to Indiana to lead a training day for us. She's from California, so we're always happy when she comes to town. She always brings us grea…

This is a 2-page layout that I made last summer. The pictures were taken at our annual Fulk Family Reunion. As you can see by the blank circle on the left, I haven't had a chance to do any journaling yet. Hopefully I can do that soon. I love using the Ginormous Flowers set (p. 95 in the catty) and the Blooms D…

I finished the last 3 cards being made at my Christmas Stamp-A-Stack - Take 2. The bottom card was one I saw online, but I used different colors. The top 2 cards I made myself. I hope you like them all! If you've fallen in love with these cards and the other 2 being made, then you'll want to come to my last C…

I love this set! I haven't purchased it yet, but I'm seriously thinking about getting it. It's so beautiful! This card was made by another demonstrator in a swap group I was in a month or two ago. Her name is Dawn Story. I love how she embossed the stamped image with gold emboss powder and then colore…

Here is another set from the current Holiday Mini, Season of Simple Grace. I used the same color combo, but made them both totally different. It's so easy to make totally different cards with just one stamp set and the same cardstock and ink. I love that our stamps come in sets. There is so much you can do wit…
