It's hard to believe, but today is the last day you can get free Sale-A-Bration products! If you were putting off ordering, you'll need to act fast. Before midnight tonight, you'll have to place at least a $50 order (before shipping & tax) online to get that Sale-A-Bration item you want. You get to pi…
I finally got to do some stamping yesterday and today! I've been sick for a week, and just haven't been up to stamping any. If you know me, that means I must have felt pretty bad not to stamp for a week! It felt so good to do it again! The Occasions 2009 Mini Catalog begins this Wednesday! My local swap gr…
This card was made by fellow demonstrator, Susan Smith. She used the Occasion mini set, Wagon Full of Fun. This set is sooo cute! The Occasions Mini Catalog sales period doesn't start until April 1st, but you can get this set now! There are so many cute images with this set. To see the other stamps in this set, an…
This card was made by one of my card swapping buddies and fellow demonstrator, Mandy Holtzhausen. She joined the digital swap, too, so we were in two swaps together this time! No, she didn't stamp all of those hearts, but she did stamp the one that is the focal point of the card. The background piece with all o…
These beautiful cards were made by Theresa Hill. As you can see, she used a different fold than usual for her cards. The card on the top shows how she folded it. I love the fold and the way it looks with the designer papers. I also like the flowers from the Sale-A-Bration set, Botanical Blooms, outlined in white. …
Since there are only a few more days left of Sale-A-Bration (SAB), this will probably be the last SAB card I make. This is the last of the three cards that the mothers and daughters could make at the retreat I was at last weekend. I CASEd this one from someone on Splitcoaststampers, but I can't remember who. I&…

There are so many things you can make with this set! This is a level one hostess set called Darling Dots. I used this same set on a 12" x 12" layout , too. This is another card that was made at the mother/daughter retreat I was a vendor at last weekend. I think it was the favorite of the daughters in the gro…
I love this set! It's called Branch Out (p. 100). This set can be used all year long. It's a set that can be used for both men and women. There are a total of 8 stamps, and they include stamps of butterflies, a birdhouse, a little bird, boots, and snowflakes. This is the first thing I've made with it,…
Happy Monday! I'm sorry that I've missed a few days posting. I had my first vendor fair/workshop last Friday & Saturday. It was a ladies' retreat. There were around 11 vendors and 7 of us held two workshops on Saturday. There were over 100 ladies/daughters there, and I had over 20 ladies sign-up for my…
This pocket card was made by demonstrator, Michelle. I love pocket cards, and really like it when they're made with scallop circles! This one is so cute! I love how she punched holes in each scallop and then threaded ribbon through them. Wonderful idea! The Sale-A-Bration item she used was the Delicate Dots D…

Here is another project made with Polka Dot Punches . Today's project is made by demonstrator, Nyla Kelley. Isn't this a cute Easter basket? I love how she used the Eyelet Border Punch on the handle. Her little Easter eggs are adorable, too!
I had to post this card on St. Patrick's Day. It's the 11th project from the digital swap I was in. I posted one similar to this one made by another demonstrator, but this one is a little different. It was made by Monica. She used the popular Polka Dot Punches set and Delicate Dots Designer Paper Sale-A-Brati…

This cute 6" x 6" page was made by Shelley Nanney. The Sale-A-Bration products used are the Polka Dot Punches Set & Delicate Dots Designer Paper. The thing I love most about this stamp set is how easy it is to use. I've made and seen so many cute projects made with this set. When you own the 4 pu…

Another card using the Top Note Bigz Die. As you can see, demonstrators LOVE this die...me included! This beautiful card was made by Sue Duffy.

I've had my Pillow Box die for awhile, but this is the first time I've used it. It makes a very quick and cut box for a couple small candy bars. This Sale-A-Bration (SAB) set, Yummy, is perfect for little treat bags and gift bags, too. Add some paper from the Delicate Dots SAB designer paper and the So Saffron…

I saw someone else make a bookmark like this, and just had to make one myself. I can't remember her name, but she was on Splitcoaststampers. I really like these type of bookmarks. I used the Styled Vanilla Hodgepodge Hardware, Pretties Kit, Regal Rose 5/8" Grosgrain Ribbon, Very Vanilla Taffeta Ribbon, Crysta…
Here is a beautiful card sample made by Susan Smith. She used the new Manhattan Flower Textured Flower Impressions Die. This die is pictured on p. 202 in the Spring-Summer 2009 Idea Book & Catalog. It wasn't available when the catalog came out, but it is now! One of the great things about this die is that it…

This is a card made by a fellow demonstrator, Monica. Since I just received a picture of this one, I don't know the exact size. I'm pretty sure it's a 3" x 3" card. The stamp set, Sweet Stems (p. 99 in catty), is not a Sale-A-Bration set, but the designer paper and the ribbon are. The designer pa…
This month, I'll be sharing some cards made my some wonderful demonstrators that are under one of my uplines, Cheri Stojkovich. Cheri came up with a great idea. She asked if a group of us would be interested in a digital swap. We would need to send her pictures of 2 new and original projects using Sale-A-Bration p…
