One of the fun parts of the Disney trip was visiting the Stampin' Up! Hospitality room each day! I usually checked in there after breakfast in the mornings. Each day we had to the chance to spin the prize wheel one time. Of course my children caught on quickly and enjoyed spinning for me! There was always a prize or two waiting - usually new goodies that will be coming out in the next catalog!! There were several spots set up like this where you could sit and chat with other demonstrators but I'm afraid life was quite busy with little time for me to sit Continue reading
Timeless Portrait Doily Card
Doesn't all this texture look fun? Our new Paper Doily Sizzlit Die is so beautiful! I'll admit it has a lot of little pieces that need to come out but boy is the end result worth it! Here's a look at the full project! I used half of the doily to look like a lace tablecloth on an antique looking table. The Timeless Portrait DSP and striped embossing folder in the background set the table off perfectly! This idea was not my own. When I was away on my trip in December one of the other demonstrators came up with the idea of the table and then the idea gradually changed as many of us made Continue reading
Additional StampThat Studio Additions
This may not seem like much to you, but I spent quite a bit of time working on this set of shelves today. I wish I had thought to take a "before" picture! I went through every bit of Stampin' Up! Designer Series Paper I have and sorted and organized - doesn't it look lovely! I thought I'd better record this moment, I'm sure the shelves won't stay like this for long! Part of the process was weeding out all the retired DSP. Those who visit the studio will find the cello packs of DSP in the Dollar Deals. There are a good number there to choose from! Here's an addition. These are Continue reading
StampThat Studio Additions
As some of you know, I spent a good deal of last week and some of this week painting the StampThat Studio! It's a big room to tackle! Naturally as I go along, I'm making a few changes and additions. I thought perhaps you would like to see some of them. They're not huge changes, but little things. This one might seem a little funny but I'm excited about it! I wanted to use some hooks to hang my Stampin' Up! Powder Pals but they're not really all that pretty. So, my little brain got to thinking . . . and I came up with this idea. I used the retired Tulipe Big Shot Die (available Continue reading

Remarkably Achieving Demonstrators Retreat
I hope you have had a great start to your week! I want to thank all of you who prayed for my trip and my husband's surgery. The trip was a blast (I'll be sharing more about that) and Andrew made it through his surgery wonderfully! It is going to take him some time to recover and he still has some unpleasant procedures to endure in the next couple weeks but hopefully he is on his way to clear sinuses and non-infected ears! As many of you know, I was away Thursday through Sunday of last week. One of my upline members treated 13 of us to a wonderful get-away full of stamping, Continue reading
Timeless Portrait Office Decor
In the last few days I've spent a little more time on my special project with the Timeless Portrait Designer Series Paper and Fabric. One of the things I've worked on is this cloth ornament using two pieces of the Timeless Portrait Fabric and some black fabric I had around. Here's a close-up view for you. Would you believe I used over 500 square inches of fabric and no sewing on this? I never would have guessed just looking at it, would you? To be quite truthful, I haven't quite decided what I'm going to do with this ornament now that I've made it. Perhaps I'll make some more and Continue reading
Handmade DSP Christmas Ornaments
Today I want to share a fun Christmas ornament with you. I made these with my downline members a couple weeks ago and then I made them in the Stampin' Up! Parties I held this month. This particular ornament was made with the Holly Berry Bouquet DSP found on page 20 of the SU! Holiday Mini Catalog. Here's another ornament I made using some retired Designer Series paper. Isn't it beautiful? I hope to make several of these for a vendor fair I'm participating in on Nov. 5 here in Stewartstown. It's possible we might see these ornaments for the Christmas Decor class too . . . I hope you Continue reading
