Cherry on Top

Hi there!  Thought I'd pop in real quick to post a picture of the new 6x6 DSP Paper Stack that is available in the 2015-16 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog.  It is called Cherry on Top.  Love it and the new size, which will also be great for scrapbookers! 

That's it. (Said it would be quick. Ha!) Thank you for coming by today!

Project Life!

Hi there and happy May Day!  A good part of my day was spent on the phone, then running errands.  It was after 6 pm before I returned home.  It was a busy day, which is why this post is so late.  Speaking of busy, Stampin' Up! went live with Project Life today!  That means beginning today, you can order the above items.  I really like the Project Life stamp sets that are in the new 2014-15 catalog.  (Remember?  I got a free copy Monday night at the Catalog Premiere!  You only have to wait until June to see everything.)   I don't plan to order any PL products this month.  Need to get some photos developed first!  You know... all those pics saved on the computer and to flash drives.   It's been years since I've scrapbooked but I'm willing to give this system a shot!  Seems easy, peazy.


OK, time to get to bed.  Thank you so much for coming by today!

Project Life

We are so so so excited to let you know we've partnered with the amazing Becky Higgins to bring you the real deal-authentic Project Life products, now in exclusive Stampin' Up! colors and designs. If you've somehow missed the Project Life craze and are wondering what it's all about, we'll fill you in: it's a super simple, totally affordable way to get your photos into albums: you just slip your photos into Photo Pocket Pages and add designed cards. It's a back-to-basics approach to documenting your life. In a nutshell, it's all about spending more time making memories and less time scrapbooking them.

A limited selection of products will be available to order on May 1, 2014!  Please contact me if you'd like to place an order.

Season of Style Scrapbook

Hi there and happy Friday!  A real quick post today...on my way out the door.  Below is a video on our new Christmas scrapbook album.  Makes scrapbooking those memories a snap!

OK, must run.  Hope you have a great weekend.  I'll be back Monday with a card.  Thanks for stopping by today!

Happy Cinco de Mayo!

Hi there!  Today would be a fun day to have some Mexican food (and margaritas) to celebrate Cinco de Mayo.  I will refrain in hopes to get caught up on things around here after spending five days at an out of town retreat with friends.  It's always great to reconnect with these ladies at our retreats.  We do whatever - scrapbook, make cards, watch movies, TALK (really? a room full of women talk? lol), laugh a LOT, eat a LOT, enjoy nature and the occasional wildlife (we saw five deer this time!).  We are there to have a relaxing, good time... and maybe complete some projects.  This year marks our 11th year of these girls getaway retreats!  Originally our getaways started out just twice a year for the weekend.  Now we go quarterly for 4-5 days.  Each person (or team of two - depending on the number of ladies we have attending) is responsible for either a lunch or a dinner meal - preparation and clean up.  (Everyone is on their own for breakfast.)  This system works well for us.  The best part is that you only have to cook once and the meals are awesome!  We have some great cooks.
So between the power outage due to the recent storm, the retreat, and spending time with our granddaughter (had to see her when I got back!), blogging has been nil.  I hope to get back on track...whatever that may be! lol 

I'll be posting photos of projects that were either forgotten or didn't have time to post.  To begin, the following card was made for a friend from the retired Stampin' Up! set "Crab & Co".  Isn't that little crab just the cutest?  Too bad it's retired.
