Up for a Challenge!

I have a friend off in Japan. She had a challenge on her blog and now I am passing it on to you! Are you up for the challenge?? I hope so!

The first 5 people to comment on this post will receive something made by me. But there is a catch... Here are the rules:

1. It's my choice what to make... and you won't know what it will be until you get it!
2. I make no guarantees that you will like what I make, but I hope you do!
3. What I create will be just for you - completely original. :)
4. It will be done this year.
5. Now for the catch. The catch is that you must re-post this on your blog and offer the same giveaway to the first 5 people who do the same on your blog. It's all about sharing the love! Be sure to come here and post a link, cuz I WILL check your blog! *wink*

In case you were wondering, I did completely cut and paste this from her blog! LOL!!

Petal Pizazz

Last month, I had to make some cards. I wanted them to be simple and elegant. Well, I have to say that I am VERY pleased with this card. It's probably my favorite in a while.

This card uses two stamp sets, "Petal Pizazz" and "Sweet Serendipity" For accessories: Build-A-Brads and the Scallop Border and Scallop Circle Punches. WOW! Simple... and sweet.

Enjoy!

Good Friend Stamp Camp

Have you seen it? Here it is! This is an incredible class. You get everything you see here. Items included are: 2 boxes - 1 holds EVERYTHING, the other holds 10 gift tags; 10 gift tags; and 3 cards with envelopes! WOW!!!

So there are two ways to get this: You purchase the stamp set Good Friends, the chipboard So Tweet and the paper pack Good Morning Sunshine and the Good Friend Stamp Camp is FREE *whispers, "That's right... free"* OR it's $25.

Now, I have another incentive for you! Bring a friend to this class (a friend is someone new to me) and you will get a $5 credit towards anything in the catalog and a free gift!

You must RSVP for this class by February 24rd! This class can also be made a Class-to-go, if you cannot attend on this date! However, purchasing the stamp set is recommended. I cannot stamp the project before sending you the rest of the goodies.

As promised...

Here is the second bracelet! I am a purple kind of girl so I just HAD to make a purple one! I had a hard time getting the pictures to show the right colors but I used Lavendar Lace Ink, the Serendipity Stamp Set and the Purple Rhinestones from the Ice Circles pack... WOW! It looks great in real life!

Did you ever have one of those moments where you just had no idea how it would turn out and "it" turned out great? Well this is one of my times! I feel the need to make a bunch of these but... I am going to resist for a bit... LOL *looks around and whispers, "'cause I have to order more Build-A-Brads, if truth be told"*

WOW!! Look at this!

OK, this is NOT an original thought of mine. I saw one of these once and thought, "Oh yeah, I need to make a few of those for myself!"

Now, that was a few months ago. I bought everything I needed to make them but just never got a chance to complete it! Well, I was cleaning out my paper trays and found the jump rings! I said, "No time like the present!"

I am pretty proud of the way this came out. I am going to make one more tonight. I will post the picture tomorrow! I may try selling them at a craft fair in the fall. I am not going to make a lot of them until I know they are selling...

Paper: Raspberry Tart DSP
Brads: Rhinestone Ice Circles - Green

New Big Shot Dies in the Hooooooouse!

When the Big Brown Truck (UPS - WOO HOO! Go Mike!!) came yesterday, I couldn't hardly contain myself. I had ordered some of the NEW Big Shot Dies. Here is a picture of my first two cuts using the "Card, Telephone & Address" Clear Die!

After viewing a video tutorial on the Stampin' Up! website, I thought of all the possibilities with this die... This would look great in a scrapbook album as is... but what about an "office" scrapbook? OOOOH! I will post pictures when I get one done!

Anyway, I just had to share!

Goofy Picture

Hi Everyone! I just wanted to post this picture of me. This was taken at our Demonstrator meeting. I was the Queen of Sales for the month of January in Kimberly's success-line. If you know me at all, you know that my fondness for pink is... well... not really there! I love Pink Pirouette but all the other colors of pink... The fuzzy pink tiara... the pink sash... and my pink shirt... UGH!!!

I am purple kind of girl. It is just so passionate. Anyway, I don't usually post pictures of myself... LOL - But this was just such a goofy shot... I felt the need to post it.

Coming soon: A class to knock your socks off! We will take a trip to the Funky Forest!! This class is done! I am working on the instructions this weekend. I can't hardly wait to show you. I am sitting on pins and needles! WOO HOO!!

Valentine's Mini Stamp-A-Stack Cards

Ok, I don't always like to give sneak peeks at my cards for upcoming events but... I couldn't resist! These cards are so cute! Well, I think so anyway. There is still time to RSVP for this class! If you purchased the Love You Much Bundle, this class is only $5! If you want the envelopes to go with it, $2 more! You will stamp 6 cards, 2 of each design!

If you didn't purchase the bundle, you can still take the class - $7 for the cards - $9 with envelopes... We use designer paper on every card! (that's why there's a price increase)

The one card that I am holding down uses the new Big Shot Die - Curly Label Bigz Die. What I love about that die is that it's got a movable part - you can put the Curly Label cut out ANYWHERE on the card front! WOO HOO!!!

Sale-A-Bration Valentine's Workshop

Hello Everyone! I just had to post these two cuties! I am Big Shot Happy! I have 3 cards that I want to post too but I am thinking of waiting until tomorrow. One of them involves a Big Shot Die too! Well, the same die actually! I just loved the fact that I could make an adorable treat pouch with it... I used two dies - Top Note Die and the Curly Label Bigz Die!

The other card is a CASE from my friend Michele Walker. She is a side-line of mine. Anyway, she created this card, sorta... hehe... and I changed the colors and image. I still used the same stamp set though - Define Your Life - awesome set.

This is what we will be doing at Donna's house tomorrow. Want to come?? Contact me!
