"All About Birthday's Class

Sorry about the posting delay - but not only did I have this class to get ready for, but we also had several big events going on around the house: One son celebrated his 10th birthday and had 6 boys over to spend the night and go to laser tag...another son go his braces off after three years so we had to celebrate and my oldest son had senior night...busy, busy. Not to be left out my husband ended up having sinus surgery to boot. Well enough about that and on to the class. As you can see we made 12 birthday cards - 2 of six designs, a gift card holder and a candy bar slide. The cards were great as we had a kids one, a masculine one, and 4 for anyone. All of the cards used Stampin Up punches, inks and card stock . If you missed this class I will be having another one on Wednesday, March 25th from 6 pm to 9 pm or you can order it by mail for $20.00 plus postage. I will post a couple of St. Patrick's day cards for you to view tomorrow...until then happy stamping!!!!

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.
