Updated information

Hi Ladies

Well today was a VERY LONG day.. we just got back to our rooms and it is almost 11pm and we have to be back there at 7 30 am. SO I don't have time to upload any pics tonight. I did want to mention that I noticed some chatter on whether or not the catalogs for everyone would be spiral bound, and I am not sure. I thought since ours was that maybe they changed it, but not sure. Sorry! I will let you know when I find out :)

I can tell you that the Designer series paper, Tart n Tangy and One smart cookie made it into the catalog :) WOOHOOO

Happy Stamping..

Jennifer

I have arrived!!! :)

Hi Ladies

Well I made it to Salt Lake City today! Arrived at approximately 4 pm, checked into the hotel and bolted to pick up my new catty! One thing I love is that they are SPIRAL BOUND!!!! YEAH! This is sooo awesome. Ok enough with the chit chat I know you just want pictures!! :) Just so you know I am not going to worry about the layout to much because I am exhausted :) Also the lighting in my hotel room isnt that great...lol


More hopefully tomorrow... Goodnight!

Gift from secret sister .....

Hi Ladies

Well today I did A LOT of stamping!!! But you wouldn't know if from my blog :( Sorry I went over to a friends house today to hang out and stamp some of her images. She has a lot of Bellas and Rileys.. I was in heaven!!! I will have to create some neat cards and show them off. Of course I don't think I will have time before convention. So until then here is something I received in the mail from a secret sister :) I think it is soo cute!

Hope everyone is doing well!

7 days till CONVENTION!!! :)

Can you tell I am excited??? This is my 1st convention so I am totally unaware of what I am in for. I just can't wait to get there and see the new catalog. I will be taking my camera with me and hope to post some goodies for my readers while I am there. :)

Sorry I don't have a photo for you tonight but I have been working on finishing my swaps for convention. I will try to get a photo uploaded for you by tomorrow. Hope everyone is having a good week!!

Happy Stamping!

Making waves with the Scallop Border Punch...

This card is for a swap I am in at the Stampin Up! convention this year.  We are suppose to be making kid cards.  Since I  don't have any kids of my own I thought this would be a good chance to make up some fun cards.  This idea has been brewing in my head for a while with the new scallop border punch.   When I would punch out the scallop border I kept seeing waving also so I decided to make a card using the scallop border and the scraps from when you punch it!   So what do you think???  

 

I chose to use the new in colors Pacific Point, Riding Hood Red, Baja Breeze and Kiwi Kiss.  I stamped the main image and then cut it out and mounted it with stampin dimensionals.  I also put some dimension under one of the waves and then used the white gel pen to make some white caps.  You can't tell to much from the picture but I also chalked a little blue for the sky along with the yellow for the sun.  Hope you like it!!  :)

 

 

 

Here are pictures of the punch with to me what looks like waves:)     

    

Thanks for looking!!

Sneak Peaks and In Color Comparison...

Today I took some pictures of the new "in colors" from Stampin Up!. I think they are going to be some fun colors to work with. I am surprised at how much I am liking the Pacific Point. My friends that know me will think that's odd since I am a "green" person myself. Now don't get me wrong I like Kiwi Kiss too but I like the Pacific Point much better than the Brilliant Blue we have now. Also just to point it out I noticed I spelled Brilliant wrong on the picture and it's a lot of work to change it so I just left it misspelled. Oh well, gives it character...LOL

 
I will be doing a color swatch key ring share starting Aug. 11th  so if anyone is interested email me at jenken03@earthlink.net for the details. Also if you pre-order a NEW catalog for $7.95 (plus $2.00 shipping) you will also receive a coupon for 5 yards FREE of assorted SU grosgrain ribbon with your 1st $50 order through me:) I love new customers... so join the fun!

I will be back later with more sneak peaks so stay tuned! 

Happy Stampin!!

Stampin Spot "nugget" box...

Hi ladies,

Yeah it's almost the weekend!! That's a good thing and a bad thing as I am still preparing things for an open house I am having this weekend. Today I was working on things for display and little gifts to give out. I was making the nugget boxes to give one to everyone that comes and then it was as if a light bulb went off inside my head. (no comments from the peanut gallery :) I decided to change the dimensions a bit so that I could fit 2 Stampin Spots inside as a cute giveaway prize. Note the stamp, it's from one of the new hostess stamps from the new catalog. I love it!

You could also fit 1 incentive stamp and 1 stampin spot or change the dimensions just a little more and put 3 incentive stamps in it. It was fun to see all the things I could fit into it. I also decided to do a clear cover so that you could see whats inside. Tomorrow I am going to be making the ones with candy...yum yum. If you want the dimensions for these let me know.

Thanks for looking!

Greetings Galore

Hi Everyone,

Hope everyone is having a good Wednesday!! Here is my take on the mini pizza box that I found on SCS. I am starting way early and making gifts to give during the holidays to family and friends. Maybe this year I will be ahead of the game instead of behind like normal :)

I decided to use up some retired DSP paper Recollections and Greetings Galore that will retire August 10, 2008 from Stampin Up! The size of the cards are 3"x3" and for 8 cards I only used 2 sheets of card stock and 1 sheet of DSP. I wanted the flowers to be the same colors of my card stock so I dyed them with reinkers. Now my fingers are dyed as well... I guess I could have used tweezers but that's not as fun!
