You Amaze Me

I will be attending Leadership in Orlando next week, and participating in 3 organized swaps. I really enjoy these swaps, because I get to meet up with Demonstrators I usually only get to see during Stampin' Up! events. One of my favorite swaps is the 3x3 Note Card Swap. These are great little cards to have on hand. Here is my card that I will be sharing.

This card features the new stamp set Crazy About You. This is an amazing set with 30 word stamps! So many possibilities. There are also 2 different flowers and the leaves. The word "you" is from the coordinating Hello You Thinlit Die set, which when purchased as a bundle can save you 15%! The Designer Series Paper is from Painted Blooms, which is also amazing!

You can find all of these products in the new Occasions Catalog. Don't forget that during Sale-a-Bration, you can earn Free exclusive SAB items with every $50 you spend (before shipping & tax). Click HERE to start shopping.

Share Your Passion

Almost two months, but here I am finally posting to my blog again!

Stampin' Up! has been the best thing that I have ever done for myself personally. I am really a fairly shy person, but when it come to sharing Stampin' Up! something explodes inside me, and I can talk about it with just about anyone, forever! Honestly, I'm sure some people probably get tired of hearing about it!

When I was young, I always dreamed of being a Teacher. Funny thing, I never really "liked" school. In many ways, through Stampin' Up! I am fulfilling that dream. I am teaching others how to find the creativity within themselves. I can't express how gratifying it is to see the smiles, and hear the squeals and oohs and aahs, when someone realizes how easy it is to create with Stampin' Up! I have a lovely, talented Team that I truly enjoy mentoring and sharing my passion of stamping. As a team, we learn from each other and share what we learn with others.

I would love to share my passion with you, and Stampin' Up! is making that easier than ever! Through June 30, 2014, you can join my Team for just $50. You customize your Starter Kit and choose $55 of the products that you want to start your business. You will also receive your Business Supplies (a $65 value) and a Free Paper Pumpkin Kit.

Contact me today, so you can begin sharing your passion of stamping!

Here's my card for today. This uses a lot of new products!

The patterned paper is from one of my favorite items; Designer Series Paper Packs. This one is called Moonlight. They come with 48 sheets of double-sided paper, 4-1/2" x 6-1/2", the perfect size for card making and scrapbooking. The card stock colors are Lost Lagoon, and Basic Grey. The flowers were stamped with Hello Honey and punched out with the Petite Petal Punch. I love the coordinating stamps and punches!

Here is a project I created back in 2009. These products have retired, but I can still "Live With Passion".

To Laugh or to Cry?

Holy cow! This is one big stack of retiring stamp sets I just pulled from my shelves! I don't know whether to laugh or cry. I laugh, because every year I tell myself that I'm not going to buy everything. As you can see that didn't work out well! I cry, because there are some really great sets here that I've grown to love. But then, all I have to do is think about the new catalog coming soon, and all the awesome new stamps and accessories I'm soon to fall in love with!

I hope you've looked through the Retiring List and made your wish list. With this week's Weekly Deals the Retiring List and Free Shipping ~ It's a great time to get everything you need! Remember, Free shipping is on any order no matter how big or small!
