Blossom Punch Card

I think I have procrastinated enough! don't you think? :-)
My mind is always looking for things to be inspired from to create something new (card ).
I thought after the Stampin' Up! (SU) Convention end of July...lying :-) mid of July, I would be back home all pumped and inspired and creating cards day & night!
What happened here?????
My brain is running hard & fast to make escuses...hehe I should ...

say I did whip up 200 cards to swap at the SU convention :-)
So while I sit and type this "Status"and 2 professional cleaners cleaning my house and super duper thoughtful neighbours sending the dinner :-) How cool is that!...I wouldn't ask for more in life! SO there are no escuses left in my basket today to not get back to my crafting!

Here's a card I made today! I wasn't sure if I wanted to add greeting, this will be perfect for any occassion! I guess I will wait on that!

Its a very simple card that uses the following supplies
Mixed Bunch Stamp Set, Baja Breeze Classic Ink, Card stock - Baja Breeze, Rich Razzleberry and

Floral District Designer Series Paper, Blossom Punch, 1" circle punch, Basic Pearls Jewel Accents
You can make this card and get all the supplies listed above from my Stampin Up website @

October SU Class

Last week has been so exciting. All week I have been preparing for my October class. As always the hardest part was to decide what I was going to demo. I was trying really hard to not make it all about Halloween! But trust me it was so hard. Anywhere I went all I could see was Halloween decorations. So this is what I came up with, Halloween with Big Shot! This month Stampin' Up is running a promotion, anybody that sign's up as a demonstrator will recieve a Big Shot free! Wohoooo, who can pass that! Big Shot was my first buy when I had my first Stampin' Up party. Using the Embossing folders gives a nice texture to a card. And this is my favourite technique.
Do you see the Haunted treat tree? It was so much fun to put all this together!
This is going to be my technique class.
Stampin' Connection is one of the websites that I go to for ideas. This website is exclusive for Stampin' Up demonstrators.
If you are thinking of getting a Big Shot or becoming a Stampin' Up demonstrator, this is the PERFECT time to sign up!
You already have a Big Shot?, no worries, in place of the Big Shot you get to choose $100worth of products from the current catalogs. How cool is that!
Email me OR Call me to find out more. I am more than happy to assist you!

My first blog ever since I joined Stampin' Up as a Independent Demonstrator!

Why did I wait to blog for this long? My mind runs million thoughts through a day! It only makes sense that I put all that here in writing. I am so excited to share my thoughts & craft ideas.
I am so thrilled that I will be sharing my ideas & some CASEd (Create And Share Everything) cards & projects from Stampin' Up. "CASE", this is one of the reasons for me to join Stampin' Up! I love how there are other talented demonstrators that are willing to share their new found ideas with the rest of us! So, I carry the torch of doing the same in return! Remember to follow Stampin' Up's Angel Policy when you CASE any projects of mine or other Stampin' Up demonstrators. You can read about the policy here ... http://www.stampinup.com/us/enu/5293.asp
