Upcoming Class

I made these cards for my upcoming class next week Wednesday.

Oh Christmas Tree

Excuse the background as you can see I have been busy in my craft room. LOL!!!!

This is my version of the card that Melissa Stout from the Stamp Doc showed on her blog. She used the stamp set Scentsational Season and Sweets for the Sweet. I felt that the items she used overwhelms the tree a little so I changed it up a bit and used the Jolly Jingle Bits stamp set and cut them out. I used Crystal Effects on the cut outs to make them pop a little and adhered them with dimensionals. Thank you Melissa for sharing such a wonderful idea. 

Thanks for stopping by. Happy Stamping.

Featured Ornament

So I decided to join the fun and make the ornament that's featured in this years Stampin' Up! Holiday Mini and not only was it fun but it's really simple as well. Linda Heller has an awesome tutorial on Youtube with complete instructions on how to make these. If you google her name you can follow her blog or if you have access to Stampin' Connection you can see it there. I think these will make good tree decorations, or a nice gift tag. 

Hunting Season

A treasure hunt that is. You have from now to October 31, 2012 to gather up 50 clues and email them to me (esoltren@hotmail.com) to be entered in a drawing for $150 worth of Stampin' Up! supplies from the lovely Sherrill Graff. I will also enter you in a drawing for some blog candy of my own, think on a smaller scale. Anyways, the details.

There is a list of blogs on my sidebar, check them out and find the clues. Not all the blogs will have a clue and some of the clues may be hidden under other posts. You will know if they are participating because you will see this picture.

And then under that you will see a picture of a Stampin' Up! item as their clue. Like this:

This is my clue the Big Shot. This machine is awesome, and so versatile...

So have fun and remember to email me the list of blogs and their clues. And you only have until October 31 to collect 50!

I Am.... a Winner....

So at Convention we were told that if we blogged about the classes that we took that there was going to be a drawing and about 5 winners were going to be picked. So little ol'e me decided what the heck I have absolutely nothing to lose right. So blogging I did, about the classes I took and my opinions about them.
So today I was of course looking at the catty and wondering what I was going to order and I thought about if they had drawn these winners and if they were going to broadcast them but I just as quick as the thought came it went. So my phone rings minutes later but I didnt pick up because it was a 3 digit number and looked weird so here I thought "oh gawd! telemarketers" but a voicemail was left and I decided to see what the voicemail was about and here it was a female by the name of Andrea calling me from Stampin' Up! because I was a lucky winner how weird and awesome is that? I couldnt stop smiling... God is Good....
