Season's Greetings

Hello, make yourself at home. Today I am showing you another card from Stamp Camp. This card was designed by Mel and she saved me some time by making it for me (being I was demonstrating at another table). It's such a pretty card. When you are well acquainted with Stampin' Up products, you can pretty much figure out what products were used. I love that Stampin' Up products are designed to coordinate and compliment each other. That takes the guessing out of what products to purchase and not to mention how easy it makes designing cards and scrap book pages. I like telling you, my readers, the ingredients used for the cards I show on my blog. It's part of my service to you. So, here it goes.
Paper: Whisper White, Brushed Silver, Night of Navy
Ink: White Craft
Accessories: heat tool, Irridescent Ice embossing powder, Scallop Trim Border Punch
I hope you enjoyed your visit today. Tomorrow I will show you another Christmas card. So come on back.

Greetings and welcome. I went to Stamp Camp at my uplines house recently and today I am showing you a card designed by Susie. Cardmaking is so much fun whether it's a card I designed or someone else designed. This was an easy peasy card to make. Let me tell you which Stampin' Up products were used.
Paper: Brushed Silver, Night of Navy
Ink: White Craft
Accessories: Big Shot, Elegant Lines Embossing folder, White Organza Ribbon, Night of Navy Taffeta Ribbon,
Did you notice the Night of Navy ribbon is on the White organza ribbon? Neat idea huh!
Thank you for stopping by. See you tomorrow.

Merry Christmas/ Wisemen

Welcome back friends. Are you liking this card? I was concerned the textured Cherry Cobbler cardstock wasn't going to show. Looks like it does. I like that this card was fast and easy to make. I didn't time myself but it is probably a ten minute card. This card would be good for a stamp a stack in that it is fast and easy to make. So, you want the recipe. Here it is

Paper: Crumb Cake, Cherry Cobbler, Always Artichoke, and Jolly Holiday DSP
Ink: Always Artichoke

As I said, fast and easy. Until next time. Have a blessed day.

Apple Blossoms

Good morning friends. This past week I got together with a couple best friends. We had a great time sharing a delicious pizza. We then bought some treats to take with us to the movies. Come on, I know someone else out there has done that also. Right? The movie was pretty good. Took me out of my desert and into lands I probably will never see other than in the movies. I guess the movie is considered a chick flick. I think it is. You want to know what we saw don't you? Okay I'll tell you . We saw Julia Roberts in ..... ..... Eat, Laugh , Pray. Or is it Eat, Love, Pray? We thought Julia did a great job (again). I (we) enjoyed the movie a lot. I guess I should get to today's card. This card was made by my upline and then she gave it to me. Pretty card, right? I love it. Susie is the best. If you want the stamp set seen here it can be found on page 12 of the 2010-2011 catalog. Apple Blossom is a set of 8 and all you have to do to get this set is hostess a workshop with net sales of at least $300. If hostessing a party doesn't work for you, try a catalog party. This is when you get orders from friends and co-workers and turn them in to your demonstrator. An added perk for you will be $35 in free products from the catalog or the current mini. Isn't Stampin' Up the greatest? I think so. That's how easy it is. I will gladly be your demonstrator. Contact me and together we can make the arrangements. I'm at Legacystamping@yahoo.com

I've been forgetting to mention that if you want to make your folder look nicer Jumbo Eyelets for the ribbon would be a great idea. I have a folder to show you that does include the eyelets but not today. It's not finished. I hope I can get it done for you soon. Your purchases through my online store are so appreciated. How nice that it stays open around the clock. Thank you for visiting.

Birthday card

Hi again, finally. I don't know if you have noticed that I don't post very often. I have noticed! I don't like it. I really want to be here sharing with you more often. Last week I was visiting family in Northern California. I really wanted to be there with them and enjoyed every minute of the visit. I had a great time playing ice cream shop and going on walks with my grandchildren. I miss them. Back to "the blog". I need a laptop. When I get a laptop, I'll be able to post from wherever I am. Can't wait for the lap top. What kind should I get? Is there one that works especially well for blogging type needs. I'll be looking for your input. This is an interactive blog you know. So you've been looking at the card above. I created that one for my 9 year old birthday girl (grandaughter). I used a retired stamp set but I don't remember what it is called. If you know, please let us all know. Remember this is an interactive blog. The card stock for the card base is Certainly Celery ( $6.95 for 8 1/2 x 11 on page 167) and the secondary layer is Lavendar Lace (retired). I used the Big Shot (page 204; only $99.95) and the textured impressions folder "Elegant Lines" (page 214; only $7.95). The lavendar grograin ribbon is retired. Do you like the card? What would you do differently? Did I tell you this is an interactive blog.?

Onto looking at the inside of this card. I used a single stamp with Lavendar Lace ink to adorn the top and bottom of the card. I think it adds a lil' something to the card.

Quarter Auction

This is a picture of a recent Quarter Auction I did. Of course I was the vendor for Stampin' Up. I enjoy doing these kind of events because I have the opportunity to meet many vendors with independent businesses. Events like these usually provides us for a venue in which we can exchange business ideas while we set up. The purpose of Quarter Auctions are to give us vendors new friends which hopefully will turn into prospective customers. The guests who come to these events come because they not only get to meet us but also go home with products that may have cost them only one quarter but not more than four quarters.

This was my table. I will be doing another event like this one in October. If you are in this area and would like to attend, you may purchase tickets from me.
