More fun at Founders!

Oh my, it’s late.  This shouldn’t surprise you that I am awake.  I really need to go to bed but I was so excited with some of the new toys that I received in my room tonight and I wanted to share.  It’s been another very fun day and I  just love sharing the new business ideas with so many of these awesome demos here.  I have laughed so much that my sides hurt.  (probably almost tee tee’d my pants a couple of times and then just plain having fun.  So, here are some pics of todays fun…. I’ll give you more scoop tomorrow.

 The picture above is Shelli "trying" to finish her swaps.  I love that she is just like all the rest of us. 

 These silly girls are too much fun.  Dawn, Jackie and Tami!

 These gorgeous candy dishes are all over the gathering place.  We can fill our bowls any time with fun candy!!!

 Kimberly and Barb!!!

 This hangs on my door.  So cute.

I love my new pen and notebook set and most of all my new wallet that matches my pink purse.  Holy COW!!!!!!

Another swap card and Founders Update!

Well, despite the delay this morning I made it fine.  In fact it was one of those days I anticipated to go down hill and the day just kept getting better and better.  Since my flight was delayed I thought I would miss my connecting flight to St. George.  After running REALLY fast I made it onto the very small plane.  I thought for sure they would supply me with goggles and scarf, but instead they had Shelli Gardner on my flight.  That made me smile.  If anything, this trip means special times for me with a very special lady.  If it wasn’t for her we wouldn’t have this great opportunity. 

So, I made it to St. George fine and got to my room which is massive.  (I think I should throw a party in here!!!)  Here are a few pics so far.  Hope you enjoy!

The best part about being here is being with friends!!!!

Shelli is signing my book.  This shows all the Founders Achievers!  So cool.

This is the beautiful book!!!!

Lastly, here is a quick card made for another swap when I  get home.  I am going to try and finish it here when I have some down time.  This uses some new stuff from the Holiday Mini.  The stamp set is called Season of Friendship.  New Ski Slope designer paper and those awesome felt snowflakes.  Awesome!!!!!

Until tomorrow… have a GREAT day!

Well, as promised… it’s here!  The MEGA hunchie of all swaps.  I can’t believe there are so many of them.  I can’t lie.  I had help with the assembly.  Otherwise I might have poked my eyes out.  eek!

I am super excited about this trip and hope to share the fun that goes on!  So stay tuned for trip news.   I am off to bed for a few short hours.  I am pooped!

Little Treat Boxes!

Hello again,

It’s a super duper fast post as I am way behind tonight (this is sooooo typical of me).  I still have to pack and finish putting my name on all those swaps for Founders Circle!  Yes, they are finished and I PROMISE the big reveal tomorrow night. I can’t believe this trip is almost here.  I am so excited I can barely contain myself.  So excited to see my girlfriends.  Yippie Skippie!!!  I have been working all day and there is still so much to do.  I just had to post this cute little Halloween Treat Box.  My kids are going CRAZY with all the candy in the house.  YIKES! 

All these fun things to make with all the Holidays coming up means less sleep and lots more stamping.  I just *love* this time of year.  Better run, need to get a few hours sleep and then a craft show tomorrow morning and then home to pack, pack, pack.  Oh, then I need to create another swap card.  I have LOST my mind.  Ekkkkk!!!

It’s the little things that excite me!

I’ve been super duper busy getting ready for all kinds of classes over the past few days!  Phew.  It’s been busy!  Today I had my Open House for my FABULOUS hostesses and customers.  I love my Open House as it gives me a chance to give back, so to speak.  It’s a laid back time for them to come and see new project ideas and I also provide lunch for my past hostesses.  It’s all about them.  A hostess is truly the heart of my business.  She works hard to invite her guests and then we have a fun time making our projects.  Anyways, we had a great lunch and then jumped into fun new projects using the Big Shot.  Now, I have to admit I wanted to jump on a plane to MI on Thursday to kiss my friend Jackie for sharing the cutest projects with me.  Each project she made just had to be duplicated and today these projects got the WOWSER factor. Check this cute thing out!

I just love "out of the box" type projects and this is one of them.  A FABULOUS box using the Scallop Envelope Die.  The litlte birdie is from the Birds and Blooms Sizzlets.  This almost created a pooie situation in my stamp studio.  You know… the moment when they GASP!  Seriously, this is how I reacted.  See, it’s the little things! 

After they left, I had a left over box that needed some attention.  I created this:

Isn’t this a fun Spooky Treat box?  My kids thought it was the best thing I have ever made.  I believe it had to do with the lollipops.  Jeesh!

My friend Jackie also shared this little gem of a project.  I copied hers almost exactly except I changed the ribbon and colors.  Since we are approaching FALL fast here in Colorado, I wanted a Fall-ish look. 

Here is a close up of the bow.  I just love these fun new bows.

I love that Pocket Silhouettes stamp set.  You can make the best cards with this stamp set.  I love how the Square Scallop punch worked with the 1 1/4 Square Punch.  It’s a tight fit, but I like it. 

I hope you have found a little inspiration here tonight.  After a fast and furious weekend I am closing the studio a little early tonight and heading up to watch tv in the bed.  Back to creating tomorrow.  I hope you found time this weekend to stamp something GREAT!
