Coach's Card

With the basketball season coming to a close, each player was asked to bring a card for their coach to celebrate Coach's Appreciation Day. My son was concerned that I would send a "girly" looking card - Luckily I got the "Just Basketball" set from Stampin' Up! in January !!! It was just what I needed to make this card....His team colors are green and white so I incorporated the colors into the card. What do you think....??? Not only is this card great to give a coach you can also use it as a masculine or kid's birthday card!!!

HUGE STAMPIN' UP! ANNOUNCEMENT

I am happy to announce!

It is official! Shelli Gardner, owner and CEO of Stampin'Up! announced yesterday that beginning with the catalog that will be released this summer, we will be returning to ONE CATALOG a year, with three wonderful mini catalogs being a bit larger than the ones in the past!

By popular demand ...
This has been a request made by many customers and demonstrators alike, and we have been heard and it is wonderful to be able to make this announcement! There will be a slight change in the release date, moving it back to July.

With Sale-a-brations going on, take advantage of our beautiful current catalog released in January, and consider becoming a demonstrator with the amazing kit special that is being offered!

Speaking of celebration how do you like this card I cased from the front of the Sale-A-Bration Catalog? I love all the ideas you can get from all our catalogs.

What Happened to the Supply List?

Have you received your 2009 Spring / Summer Idea Book and Catalog and wondered where the supply list/recipe section that used to be located in the back of the catalog went? Don't worry--you can still get it! Not only can you get it--but it's even better. It has small pictures of each project next to the "recipe!"Click HERE to go to the Stampin' Up! website and download and/or print the Supply List for all the projects in the Idea Book & Catalog.

Happy Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day to all my fellow stampers and crafters!!! Today I thought I'd share with you some valentine projects. All of these were made using the " Happy Heart Day" stamp set by Stampin' UP!

Aren't this projects cute! As you can see 4 of them are candy holder valentine's which make great gifts for school children, teachers, Sunday school classes, etc... What I love about each of them is that they can be adapted to fit any holiday....So keep them in mind for the up coming holidays -- St. Patrick's Day and Easter.. Of course I'll be showcasing some more projects for these holiday's as well.

Remember the "Sale-a-bration" promotion is still going strong at Stampin' Up!! For every $50.00 order you earn a new free stamp set... To order email me, bbnbear@aol.com, or visit my Stampin' Up! website, www.kathleenwalker.stampinup.net - you can order 24-7.

Thanks for visiting today..

Photos Of My Booth

Well the Crop for Juvenille Diabetes is over and it was a great success - thanks to all those who came and to those that attended in other states. I thought you might enjoy seeing a photo of my booth and the thank you gifts I gave to my fellow stampers who attended. I made the baskets using the big shot and the basket die cut, the Thank You is one of the new individual stamps that are available in the new catalog, which I punched out using the scalloped square punch. Each thank you basket had a incentive stamp, Stampin'Up pen and a Stampin'Up key holder. It was a great day and we all had a lot of fun. Linda Davis was our lunch time entertainment and she sang several songs from her newest album.

Tomorrow I will post some new stamp projects.

New Projects To Share

Sorry for the delay in posting, but it has been crazy this week!! I did manage to get some projects done this week for the JDRF Crop which is on Saturday. Here are some pictures of the projects I made, yes I know they all are candy holder's, but with Valentine's Day just around the corner they seemed appropriate! I think the love box is my favorite and actually very quick to make. Although the candy bar slides make great party favors or small birthday gifts.

I also finished up my silent auction basket which is filled with Stampin'Up! goodies for the lucky lady that wins the bidding. I used the empty punch tin that's available from Stampin'Up! rather than the traditional basket - it makes a great storage container!

I'll try to post again tomorrow or later today -
