A Birthday Wish...

Wishing Jacky a very Happy 25th Birthday!

Workshop Card

During one of my recent October workshops, my customer, Natalie changed up her design. So simple!

Support Local Crafters....

I came across this the other day and it sums up pretty much what I was thinking.

Love the simplicity!

So,You Want That Big Shot?!

Top 10 reasons to be a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator!

1. As a demonstrator, you are part of an instant team of ladies (and men) who are like-minded, who also love to stamp and share ideas! I’ve been fortunate to have met so many amazing new friends all over Canada and the US because of my business.

2. Once you join Stampin’ Up!, you’ll never have to pay full price for your stamps and accessories again.

3. Ideas, Ideas, Ideas....you will never run out of ideas once you become a demonstrator. I have found that between our monthly Stampin’ Success magazine and Stampin’ Connection (our private card gallery and forum), I am never short of ideas.

4. Do you love to know what's coming and have trendy new products in your crafting stash? As a demonstrator, you get a sneak peak and you get a preorder opportunity from Stampin' Up!'s catalogs throughout the year.

5. I get to run my business (or hobby) ‘MY WAY’. After all, I'm the boss!! If I want to stamp in my pajamas, I can. If I want to hold a workshop, I can, or not!

6. Meeting new people who share my passion for the hobby. Take Friday night, for example. I met a group of ladies at Myra's house, who are simply wonderful. There's nothing like meeting someone who "gets" you, especially someone who "gets that you LOVE stamping!"

7. The Starter Kit is an incredible value and with the extra $100 in FREE merchandise this month you will not regret it. And it all ships FREE too!!

9. Team meetings and card swaps. Swapping is really wonderful!

10. Earn extra money or just enough to support your stamping. You can earn at least 20% commission and even more depending on how much you order (or sell).

Lovely Letters Wedding Card

Here is the 2nd card that I created using Tangerine Tango. I heat embossed the Trendy Trees around the edges and then ran it through my Big Shot using the Square Lattice Embossing Folder. Lovely Letters and the dotted heart from I {heart} Hearts were stamped in the middle and popped up using Stampin' Dimensionals.

A Simple Wedding Card

My client asked me to create a wedding card for her son's wedding. The bride picked out colors that were close to Tangerine Tango. A simple card using the Elegant Bouquet Embossing Folder and Sincere Salutations for the sentiment.

6th Annual Scraptoberfest-St. Vincent's SWIM Across The Sound

This will stay on top for a couple of days. Please scroll down for new ideas!


My Love To Ink Team Member Julie is not only an avid stamper but a survivor as well. When she told me about Scraptoberfest, I thought what a great event to hold to raise funds for Women Battling Breast Cancer. The wonderful thing about this event, besides the scrapping all day, is that all the money raised does not support research. However, it provides cancer education, screening and prevention programs. It also helps individual cancer patients with specific needs, such as wigs, prostheses, medication assistance and free transportation to treatments and appointments.

While the event is sold out, a donation would be a wonderful way to show your support. Please mail your donations to: St. Vincent's Medical Center-Fairview 2979 Main Street-Bridgeport, Ct 06606. Attn: Leann Torre.

Gently Falling Workshop Card

This card is almost a direct CASE from page 27 of the NEW Holiday Mini! I used it for a recent workshop. Thanks to Julie D for the great idea!

Spice Cake Leaves

Whatever would I do without my Big Shot?! The Leaves #2 Sizzix Die makes these wonderful leaves with our Spice Cake Designer Series Paper. I used the Striped Embossing Folder for added interest.

Clear Block Stamping

Use your clear blocks to stamp backgrounds. I used Clear Block D with Sahara Sand along with Gently Falling and a new set called Perfectly Penned.

Birthday Card From Mom

My birthday card from my Mom. If you zoom in on the tree frame, you will see that my Mom stamped the image from Vintage Vogue four times, then hand cut and pieced together to form a frame. She also handcut each butterfly. While I don't like to cut any image out, my Mom totally enjoys it. Thanks, Mom, for the beautiful fall birthday card.
