I participated in a demonstrator swap using supplies from the Stampin’ Up! Holiday catalog. When I need to create a card, I sometimes start by scrolling through Pinterest looking at layouts or color combinations. This time I pulled out the Brightly Gleaming Specialty Designer Series Paper and looked at all the patterns on the different papers. There is beautiful copper foil on some of the patterns.

When the new Stampin’ Up! annual catalog comes out in June, it’s time for Open House! A lot of planning and preparation goes into those few hours of fun such as what will we do for make & takes, the display table samples and ideas, the door prizes and raffle basket and of course the refreshments. The retired table is always a hot spot as well.
I couldn’t do it all without help from my downline girls, friends and family. I was blessed to have (more…)
