SUDSOL Blog Tour #6

Hello Everyone and welcome to the sixth SUDSOL Blog Tour!

I am so excited to be a part of this! SUDSOL is made up of very talented Stampin’ Up! demonstrators!! We even have EXCLUSIVE samples that are only posted on SUDSOL!  If you’re a Stampin’ Up demonstrator you too can have access to hundreds of exclusive samples that you and your customers won’t find anywhere else! There are thousands of business ideas, ready-to-go classes, forms, etc!!  I can't begin to tell you how beneficial this site is to me everyday!!  You can give it a try with a FREE 2-week trial!

 

I've used my favorite new set from the 2011-2012 Idea Book and Catalog for the projects I'm sharing with you all today! Button Buddies!!

Who can resist these adorable bold stamps?! If you don’t have a copy of the 2011-2012 catalog yet and would like one leave me a message!

This adorable little purse holds up to 16 3x3 note cards and envelopes! I’ve used one of my favorite color combinations; Tempting Turquoise and Tangerine Tango!

As you can see, this set is simplicity at its finest! All of these note cards were super quick and easy to make, and they’re SO adorable!  I’ve used the baby rattle stamp to make a baby shower card, the pig stamp to make a birthday card, and the cherries to make a thank you card!

 

Who doesn’t like to give little gifts to their co-workers and friends during the holidays?! This Halloween card using the pumpkin stamp and Christmas card using the snowman stamp add the perfect touch to those holiday gifts!

 

Note cards are a necessity to have on hand! I’ve made these simple note cards for those times when I need a quick card but no time to make them! I’ve made a simple friends card using the flower vase stamp, a thinking of you card using the snail stamp and a blank any occasion card using the flower stamp!

 

This set is too cute to pass up! I hope you enjoyed my projects using the Button Buddies stamp set! You can find a tutorial for this entire project on SUDSOL and see more of my work including my SUDSOL EXCLUSIVE Design Team samples HERE! Remember, you must be a member of SUDSOL to view them! If you are a demonstrator already, give it a shot with our 2 Week FREE Trial! If you are interested in becoming a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator and join my team by August 26th I’ll pay for a 3 month subscription to SUDSOL for you!

 

Thanks for stopping by!

GAB #25 - Rock n' Roll!

Happy Saturday!!

I hope you all are enjoying your weekend! Today is a very special yet difficult day for my family. My grandmother, Joanne, passed away 2 years ago (08/28) after a 2 year battle against Ovarian Cancer.

Today marks her 70th Birthday.

She was a very special person in my life and I'll never forget everything she was and did! She was such a kind and strong woman.

So... I made my card for the GAB Technique Challenge - Rock n' Roll, in honor of my Grandmother!

Come join us at Gimme a Break Challenges this week! We'd love to see what you come up with!


Stampin' Hugs!

Doily Thanks!

Hi Everyone!

Hope you all had a TERRIFIC weekend! So many of my demo friends were away at Convention this past weekend and I lived it through all of their wonderful blog Convention updates and by following the Stampin' Up! Facebook Fan Page. (There's even sneak peaks at the new Holiday Mini coming up in September!)

My parents took Caiden this weekend so Cullen and I had a little break on Saturday and enjoyed our day! We went to Coldstone for dessert that evening and oh my GOODNESS did that Peanut Butter Cup Perfection hit the spot!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE peanut butter and chocolate! Maybe that's why I'm not losing weight??? HAHA!

Today's share is a thank you card we made at our June Hostess Club Meeting earlier this month. I just LOVE this set and the new In Colors! Leave me a comment and let me know what ya think!
