Hello Everyone! Today I wanted to show you one of the make & takes we did for the February Crop.  A few days before the crop, Sara Douglass, Stampin' Up!'s CEO shared a new technique, and I couldn't wait to try it! It's a little hard to tell in the photo, but the little monster is shiny and darker in some areas then others.  To create this look, take our new fine tip glue (use a partial bottle or save the empty ones!), and add a few drops of reinker to colour.  Then use the bottle to pour colour onto...

Hello! I can't I somehow missed almost a month of blogging!  Time definitely gets away from me these days! Today I wanted to show some fantastic swap cards using the Sale-a-Bration set So Very Much: This one is by Bonnie O'Neill--and as an added bonus it uses another Sale-a-Bration set, Avant Garde! This one is Susan Carlson.  It's another great one that would be super quick if you needed a ton! This one is from Michelle Litwiller, and I love the punched flower and how it adds dimension! This one is from Hattie Walker, and I love that it uses...

Hello! I am back again with another swap share.  This one was a gift from one of the swap organizers, Carol Hickman.

Hello! Back in January I was very fortunate to be invited to participate in the Canadian Business Conference with Stampin' Up!  Only the top 178 demonstrators in Canada were invited (I still can not believe that I am one of them!).  I met my roomate, Elizabeth Green from Brampton at the airport when she picked me up (we'd been talking online--and demonstrators are a pretty close knit group!)!  Today I thought I would share some of the amazing swap cards she gave me while we were there. First thing--packaging truly is everything!  How cute is this mini treat bag all decorated?...
