Celebrate!

Here is one of the swaps I received from an awesome Stampin' Up! demonstrator friend, Latisha Dinkel.

Every year at the Stampin' Up! convention, Angela (my upline) and I have been hosting a Jammie Swap.  We give prizes for pajamas.  Latisha, her mom, and her daughter always have the cutest jammies and they coordinate!

Just one of the benefits of becoming a Stampin' Up! demonstrator - all the awesome crafty friends you make from all over the world!  Interested in having more friends?  Click here to get started.

Houston, we fixed the problem! - Go for 2017 Sale-a-Bration!

The Stampin' Up! Site is FIXED!  Check out all the goodies here.  

Have you heard of Sale-a-Bration?  No?  Well, it's the best time of the year! 

For every $50 (before shipping and tax) you get a FREE Sale-a-Bration item.  And there are some SUPER awesome products to get for FREE.  Did I say FREE?  Sure did!

Here are some pics of projects using my three favorite Sale-a-Bration items.

I just LOVE these chickens!  Especially the one with the mop on top.  Check out the egg in the nest - just a wad of linen thread.  Super simple, but genius!  The stamp set is a Sale-a-Bration item you can choose for FREE with your $50 purchase.

I'm not sure why I love the paper, but I really do.  Maybe it's the colors?  Maybe the patterns?  Maybe the coordination with other products in the Occasions Catalog?  Maybe it's because I have an addiction to paper!  :)  This package of Designer Series Paper is a Sale-a-Bration item you can choose for FREE with your $50 purchase.

There are SO MANY possibilities with this paper pack.  It is completely black and white - you add the color.  Color images with markers.  Color with pencils.  Use Watercolor Pencils and a blender pen.  Use Watercolor Pencils and an aqua painter.   Use ink with your blender pens or aqua painter.  Ink up the sponge brayer and add large areas of color.  It is just AWESOME.  This package of Designer Series Paper is a Sale-a-Bration item you can choose for FREE with your $50 purchase.
