Thankful

We just got back from a wonderful long weekend in Kelowna…and today I am thankful. Thankful for so many things. EXCEPT the snow. LOL! It’s actually snowing a lot today…October 14th!!…ya, not very thankful for that. Moving on…

It was still fall in Kelowna, and we were able to spend some time outside. Beautiful colors!

winery-1[Sigh]…it was hard to leave on so many levels.

So today, I am going to share a few card ideas using fall colors and the trendy Totally Trees stamp set from the Holiday Catalogue. Every month a few demonstrator friends and I share ideas using one particular stamp set. Last month it was Totally Trees. Here is their amazing creativity:

One more thing I am thankful for. I was able to sign up our daughter Amy as a demonstrator on my team:) These girls were very young when I started my business as a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator, and now look.

Thoughtful Branches

There is an exclusive, limited-time offer for August…the Thoughtful Branches bundle. I know you don’t want to think about fall yet, but this set is truly for all seasons. I think you will love it.

Here are 3 of my favorite picks from the Stampin’ Up! Artisan Team:
Such a happy card…lots of apples to crank out on the big shot…but totally worth it!
Thoughtful-Branches-3Two little birds on a tree stump…
Thoughtful-Branches-2A collage of leaf images with a vellum overlay…looks complicated, but it’s so easy.
Thoughtful-Branches-1You can order your own Thoughtful Branches bundle HERE.
It is quite a large bundle with lots of possibilities:)

It’s wedding week here so I’m a little busy, but I’ll post pictures along the way!

Love & Affection

There is a new stamp set in the catalogue that’s called Love & Affection…very fitting for me this weekend. Not only is it Father’s Day, but my husband and I celebrate 28 years of marriage tomorrow. We are still very much in love and are excited about this journey we get to travel on together. Life is full of ups and downs, planned days and days that catch us by surprise, but I’m so thankful for someone who anchors me and is there through all of it.

So back to the stamp set. I have 2 quick and easy cards to share with you today…ones that you can mass produce in a little amount of time. And they would definitely put a smile on the recipient’s face.  They both have pieces of the coordinating Designer Series Paper (DSP) on them (Affectionately Yours #141632), but this first one features the stamp set…Love & Affection 1 The second one features the new coordinating embossing folders (Floral Affection #141713)…Love & Affection 2I have a third card to share with you, but I will keep it a secret until Tuesday. I will be staring a small series of Techniques that I will be posting on Tuesdays only. It will be called Technique Tuesday. So stay tuned. You won’t want to miss this first great tip!
