Though OnStage is behind me now, I am still wrapping up bits and pieces of it. What a fabulous experience it was! It wasn't all perfect of course. The weather the first three days was oppressive, but it had been that way since I first arrived in Florida a few weeks ago. The food at the venue was inconsistent at best. Eight sat to a table and each meal varied wildly.
The most amazing...
It is time for another blog hop with the Stamp 'N Hop global independent Stampin' Up! demonstrator group. This month we are CASEing (Copy and share everything) the Annual Catalog. I chose a card from page 20 that showcases the Botanical Bliss bundle. The catalog image is the left and my project the right.

Today is the Stampin' Dreams blog hop and we are showcasing Christmas projects. I wanted to show off a stamp set that makes the most beautiful clean and simple cards in just a couple of minutes! To prove how simple the card is to make I filmed it - video length 2 min 52 sec. The stamp set used is "Beautiful Blizzard".

I cannot believe how fast time flies by! Last month I was traveling and preparing for my first Stampin' Up! OnStage conference and now this month, I just finished the event. Wow, what an eye opener! My husband and I are going to stay in hot and muggy Florida into December so we are not currently in travel mode.
Today I am joining the Colour Combo blog hop. I love the colors this month...
I just had to create a gallery video of swap images to share with everyone. It is just over 8 minutes long.
Stampin' Up! loves to have random sales. They vary from free shipping, a discount on select products, and even limited edition products that are available for as little as one month and then they are gone forever!
Larger promotions include the week long Thanksgiving Extravaganza and of course the three month Sale-A-Bration promotion in which customers earn free products for every $50...
This month's Kre8tors blog hop is all about birthdays. In Fact, Melissa who runs this hop's birthday IS today, so I want to wish her a good one!
I had to get my project finished early due to OnStage, which is the fall Stampin' Up! conference. Since the location is Orlando, Florida, we decided to make a journey of it. We are now camping in Florida all the way from Washington state! This...
I cannot believe today hub drove me to the hotel and I went to the convention center to check in for OnStage. It is a bit surreal. I AM AT ONSTAGE /pinch. It is my first one, and I also cannot believe hub and I drove over 4000 miles to be here with our home! We are staying at a super nice resort in Orlando, the Thousand Trails resort, and it was only a 30 minute drive to get to the hotel....
I am late in receiving this month's Paper Pumpkin due to our travel schedule. I haven't been in one place for more than a day or two since mid September. The second I was checked in to the Orlando Thousand Trails for a long enough stretch, I had our mail forwarded. In the package was the October Paper Pumpkin.
I had to finish all of my swaps and gifts for OnStage today before I could...
This card front is slightly under standard A2 size. This is because the background is from the Delightfully Detailed Laser Cut Specialty Designer Series Paper which is a 12" x 12" so the width of the trimmed down piece is under 4".
I love to make many layered cards. I used the round and small rectangle stitched label dies from Stitched All Around. I also colored a snippet of lace trim...
