I ordered Chic Boutique a few months ago and I had yet to even mount it! I'm so sad that I wasted that time! This is an absolutely FABULOUS stamp set. You can use it for the new vintage look (holy oxymororon batman!) or the images are simple enough to pull off on everyday cards:) I love it! This card was actually my first attempt for the Stampin' Royalty challenge for next week, but I failed miserably! I had to scrap this card (not literally, but as my challenge submission), but I was already in love! Those little half back pearls in the Basic Pearl set are so cute! See if you can find them all, there are actually 8 on this card.
Doing the
DSP shares this year helped me get a really good look at all the amazing patterns and colours. I hadn't even opened the
Love Letters DSP until I started my share. Now, I'll need to order another package!
I really wasn't too into ribbon until a few months ago. I found that I had to remind myself to use them on my cards... now I can't get enough. I go through it at ALARMING rates:( This is the Satin Ribbon that I mentioned in my
Ribbon Share, it is soooooo easy to work with and easy to knot as well!
Anyone ordering the Chic Boutique Stamp Set from me before August 31st will receive a take home kit with all of the cardstock (DSP may vary but will be from Love Letters DSP pack), punched pieces and embellishments to complete 2 full sets of the card, envelope and matchbox pictured above! I will mail it directly to you and not extra cost:)
Do you already own this set and want a take home kit? For $10 you will receive the supplies for 5 of these sets, all ready to make! If you are picking up from me, choose the $8 option!

Well, you've been asking for it for two years, and I'm finally ready to start! October marks the beginning of my Scrapbook Club. If you're wondering what finally pushed me to take this step, I have two words for you, Dawn Pritchard! Now that I've got you completely confused... I'll explain:) When I went on the AMAZING Stampin' Up cruise last April to the Southern Caribbean, my husband and I spent a TON of time with a great friend of mine, Dawn Pritchard and her husband, from Edmonton. Dawn is a phenomenal scrapbooker, who has encouraged me to take the plunge into a Scrapbooking club and has even offered to guide me through the unknown:) If you're a demo, check out her blog, The Inked Stamper, she is offering a fabulous planner for demos using all SU product! If you are interested in the Scrapbook Club, contact me ASAP as I will limit this club to 8 people! Details will follow next week:)
I wanted to make a cute 3x3 notecard to put in a package that I hand out to new customers. I thought this little guy was the perfect ice breaker... how could you not smile when you see him? I really love the Old Olive and Concord Crush combo; what do you think? Only nine more days until this adorable stamp set and embossing folder are available in the new Holiday Mini!!!!

Isn't this new Candy Wrapper Sizzix Die too cute?? The countdown is on... you can order it in just 15 days! I can't actually take credit for the idea of this little Halloween box though... my downline, Sabriena Satchwell, was talking to me about this new die and said, "Don't you think it would look awesome embossed with the new Spider Web folder?" Of course, it was all I could think about! I was counting down the days until this one arrived as I wanted to see if it would work for my Halloween treat for the boys classes'. With two boys in Elementary School this will equate to about 45 of these! Never mind the ones that I need to make to hand out at the front door:)
