Happy Monday! Today is the last day for Stampin’ Up!’s Extravaganza! Remember I am giving Free shipping if you order by 9 PM Monday November 30! We all had a great Thanksgiving day. I decided that I was going to have my two twenty-something kids do the cooking! I think that is what made the day so fun! One funny episode was when I peeked into the potato pot to see if they were almost done and none of the potatoes had been cut up! That’s right… whole potatoes boiling away in the pot!  I hope you all had a wonderful day with family and friends. December Classes This coming weekend I will be having a Card Buffet. I changed my theme from last minute Christmas cards to just plain Greeting cards.  The cost is $10 to make 6 cards (please note more cards!) December Card Buffet December 5th 9:30 - 12:30  December 8th 6:30 - 9:30 Please RSVP by December 3rd or December 6th. I have a sneak peek video of one of your choices below! Other classes going on this mont

Good Morning We’re saying goodbye to retiring products from the holiday catalog; but before we do, we’re giving everyone an opportunity to order their favorites. Retiring stamps will only be available until December 28 and then they will become “while supplies last” until January 4, 2016. Retiring accessories are “while supplies last” now...some will sell out right away. Here is the list of what is retiring.   Holiday Catalog 2015 Retiring List PDF   My advice? Order what you want quickly, as there is no guarantee how long supplies will last. It is best if you order   here   in my online store vs. contacting me to place your order. Weekly Deals!

I really enjoy spending time with you. Here is a picture of the card my friend, Jan, created! I love how the inside swings from the front to the back.  Pop Out Swing Fold Card Use Round Framelit to die-cut a window on the front panel of card. Cut a 6" 5-1/4" whisper white piece and scored it along the 6" side at 2" and 4".  Fold it accordion style and adhere the right panel to the inside right panel of the card. Fold the accordion flat, close the cover, add adhesive to the part of the Whisper White that is showing through the window.  Die-cut a circle with the same size Circle Collections Framelit and position it through the window.
