I am so ExCiTeD!

I’m excited I am HERE to blog!  Once again my time flew by so fast.  All the while having fun stamping and scrapbooking.  It really has been a whirlwind few weeks.  I was lucky enough to travel to the east coast last weekend to speak at my fellow demonstrator and friend, Janet Wakelands demo meeting.  WOW there was talent in that room.  I had a blast and I loved meeting so many GREAT demonstrators.  I was pretty WOW’d by all the samples they had!  It was an amazing weekend.  A BIG huge hug to Janet for hosting me and all the gracious things she did for me that weekend.  She is just awesome.  Thanks to many of my friends that drove quite a few miles to come to the meeting.  I am grateful!  Guess what I didn’t bring?  Yes, my camera.  WHAT WAS I THINKING????  Jeesh! 

Anyways, once I came home I really had back to back classes and clubs and have just been busy busy!  I have a stack of stuff piled by my desk to share with you so get ready for lots of sharing.   Take a step into my stamp room for just a second.  Earlier this week I had my Big Shot School.  I love this class because all of my customers own their big shot and it’s a class they can come learn the in’s & outs of the Big Shot as well as out of the box ideas.  If it’s one thing I’ve learned, there is LOTS to learn with the Big Shot.  Meaning…there are TONS of projects to be made with this awesome machine. 

Here is a fun card we did that night:

I *LOVE* making these scallop cards using my Scallop Circle Die Cut.   I used the Upsy Daisy stamp set on Chocolate Chip cardstock using Whisper White craft ink and then sprinkled my favorite sparkles, Iridescent Ice and heated it up.  I placed a piece of Kraft cardstock on the bottom half of the circle and used my Spritzer tool with a Chocolate Chip marker and "puffed" it over the Kraft cardstock.  Have you ever tried this crazy fun tool???   Oh jeesh.   Pretty addicting.  I love this tool.  So do my kids. 🙂

The last part of this card I used the Lots of Tags and cut it in half.  I used the Great Friend (love it) stamp set and stamped the "For You" on it.  I punched a 3/4" circle punch and placed it over the tag for a fun new look.  I love the Lots of Tags Sizzlets and really think its a great addition to your stamp room.  The base of my cardstock is Ruby Red. 

I wish you a FABULOUS week and look forward to sharing more this week with you.  P. S. It’s snowing outside.  Just shoot me!
