Episode #507 ~ Project Life Cards!!!

Hi Everyone,

  Happy Wednesday ~ I have been working on my family scrapbook album and trying to get caught up. While I am super excited for the BIG launch of our Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalog 2016 being available for everyone to order from tomorrow September 1st - I really need to use some of my retired products that I have sitting around. Does that ever happen to you? You have great intentions for a item and then more cute stuff comes along and the previous item gets pushed to the side and then I forget about it...

  I have wanted to make some quick cards using the Project Life cards from the retired kit that I have sitting around. So, I made some today and boy are they fun to make! I stamped on some added Candy Dots to another, some I didn't do anything too. But they all look really nice and I think will put a smile on someone's face when they recieved one.

  Give it a try and get more bang for your buck!!!



Happy Hugs,

Episode #506~"Jolly Friends" Christmas Card By: Stampin' Up!

Hi Everyone,

  I feel like it's been so long since I posted a video for you guys, I've been in Back -To- School mode with getting our daughter set up at college and also getting our baby ready for his Senior year of High School. Gosh... where have the years gone???

  Since I am in a swap with my stamping/upline group, I created this really cute card featuring the stamp set "Jolly Friends" and the sentiment comes from "Suite Sayings" both of which will be available to purchase on September 1st, 2016 from the Stampin' Up! new Holiday Catalog. Uber cuteness!!! This elf is just adorable and I can't wait to use the Santa Claus and also the Moose - how fun are those? I am thinking this might be one of my cards in my *Free Kit with Purchase* card set that you will receive when you place an online order through my onine store for the month of September.

  It's never to early to start prepping for your holiday cards, it will be here before we know it and I like to have mine done by mid November so I can enjoy a day of addressing my cards and not feeling rushed or hurried. I am trying to enjoy the holidays and all the little things that go with it and not fall into the whole "commercial" part of it.

  I hope this card gives you some holiday cheer and inspiration, let me know if you have any questions.

* To have a chance to win one of these card kits of your own, just leave a comment below and let me know what your favor part of the holidays are...* I will pick a winner the first week in September and get your kit out to the lucky winner! Good luck to everyone...
