It is late so this is going to be a quick post.  I haven't used my lattice die in a while so I decided to pull it out and here's what I came up with.

Lots of fun products from the Occasions catalog and the Sale-A-Bration catalog.    Here it is in Island Indigo.

If you have any questions about these cards let me know.  Ifyou need any stamping supplies please visit my online store!  Thank you.

Hope to stamp with you soon!

This dresser drawer box would look so nice on any desk, and inside are two card sets!  Once the cards are gone, the dresser can be used to store pens, notepads, postage stamps, paper clips, and any other little things you want to store inside.  This would be a wonderful gift to make for any friend or family member.  It’s also a great project for a class!

This pretty project comes to you designed by Christy!  To get the instructions for Christy’s project, just subscribe to February! 

Make this Dry Erase Board with the coordinating pen and cup for a sweet project for a friend, or maybe even make one for yourself! It’s a simple project, with some great ‘up-cycling’ ideas using your Stampin’ Up! supplies. And just think of how many ways you can change up the board to fit your needs – a grocery list, kids’ chores… the possibilities are endless!

Dont' you love it?  I think Julie did a wonderful job on this project!  If you would like the directions to Julie's project along with 9 other tutorials go to Craft Project Central and subscribe to the month of February.  Maybe, just maybe if I make this beautiful porject I  might actually work on the things on my to do list!

Hope to stamp with you soon!

Stampin' Up is celebrating its 25 year anniversary!  One of the fun ways they are celebrating is to bring back some of their favorite stamp images from the past 25 years and combining them into 12 sets.  A new Best of 25 Years set will be released every month in 20113.  In each set there is a new never before seen stamp image included among the classic images.

Here's the Best of 25 Years Birthdays!

item # 132929 Best of Birthdays  $14.95 Clear Mount

Can you spot the new image?  Think Oval punch!

Here's the Best of 25 Years Love! 

Item # 132987  Best of Love $14.95 Clear Mount

Can you spot the new image?  There's no love or hearts in this one.

In every "Best of" stamp set there is a 25-year proof of purchase sticker.   Be sure to adhere it to your Stampin' Up! Collectors Card  and when you have 6 stickers you can send it in to Stampin' Up for a FREE set of your choice valued up to $14.95.   You must redeem your Collector's Card by April 30, 2014.  

Thanks for bearing with me while I got caught up.  I will do my best to not get so behind again.  I do have a sort of new sample to show you.  

If this looks familiar it is pretty much the same card I shared here.  The main differences is the colors and I used the Beyond Plaid stamp set to stamp the houndstooth border. 

You can order these sets through my online store or contact me and i would be happy to help you! 

Hope to stamp with you soon!

I confess I have been a bad blogger and have not been sharing with you all the cool offerings from Stampin’ Up!   I know shame on me!  I am here to remedy that situation over the next few days.   Stay with me because I have a new sample to share too!

I've mentioned before that there are new single stamps.  These 2 new assortments are only going to be available until March 31, 2013.   You can also see them here.

I shared  this card using the  Woo Hoo stamp and  I have more samples in the works, so stay tuned for those!

This exclusive Sent With Love stamp set, DSP, Bundle will bw available only until April 30th!   I love the images and the paper and think they would make a perfectly wonderful travel mini book.

Yes, I believe I can catch up and will do so over the next few days but this is one of the things I have been working on.  Are you wondering what DSP pack the Herringbone paper is from?   You probably already figured out that I used the Beyond Plaid stamp set to make the herringbone border.   I definitely used a stamp positioner.  Here's another card I made using the Beyond Plaid set to make my own DSP.  

It is time for me to end this long post.  Thanks for bearing with me!  If you need any of the SingleStamps or the Sent With Love bundle you can go to my online store and shop or you can always contact me and I would be happy to help you.  

Hope to stamp with you soon!
