 Hi Stamping Friend, How have you been since last week? I hope you are doing well. We are going through a rough patch right now. Over the weekend someone tried to use one of my credit cards and one of my debit cards. They were phishing to see if they could get into my accounts. Thankfully, I am on top of that kind of thing. I reported the fraud and had their transactions removed from my accounts. That was upsetting enough, but then someone tried to hack into the online account for our insurance too. I don't know what they thought they would do, but we called and verified that they were unsuccessful. Then on Tuesday morning we found that a dear friend had lost his battle with cancer. Life can feel like its spiraling down a black hole when things like this happen, especially when it seems to be everything at once, but I refuse to succumb to it. I am looking at the good things about life in order to counteract the negative. I have so many blessings in my life that I am very grateful f...

Hi Stamping Friend, It is less than a week before the new Annual Catalog goes live. Today I have another preview for you. I participate in swaps throughout the year and this is one of the cards I designed for the most current swap I contributed to. In my humble opinion it is beautiful! Of course, Stampin' Up!® makes it so easy! Everything just naturally goes together because of the color coordination. The inks, the cardstock, the Designer Series Paper (DSP), and the embellishments all work together so wonderfully, it takes the guesswork out of the equation. As always, the supplies are listed below the photos.  I hope you have a lovely day! 🌄🖖 Supplies: Pansy Patch Bundle (stamps & dies, 10% savings over purchasing individually*) 155674 $51.25; Pansy Petals DSP 155807 $11.50 Cardstock: Basic White (8.5x11, 40sheets) 101650 $9.75; Blackberry Bliss (8.5x11, 24 sheets) 133675 $8.75 Classic Stampin' Pads ($7.50 each): Blackberry Bliss 147092, Calypso Coral 147101, Daffodil Del...

Hi Stamping Friend, Let's take a trip back in time to when tie-dye was all the rage (the first time, LOL). Were you around in the 60's and 70's when it was everywhere? If you were, what did you think of it then? What do you think of its resurgence? I'm a bit nostalgic about it, maybe because it takes me back to a time when life was so much simpler (probably because I wasn't grown and didn't have any responsibilities - yet!) This is a small preview of the fun that can be had with the goodies in the upcoming annual catalog. It goes live on May 4th. If you need a demonstrator and/or a catalog let me know. Supplies for this card are listed below the photos.  I hope you have a lovely day! 🌄🖖 Supplies: Stamp Sets: Spiral Dye 156927 $17.00; Pansy Patch 154999 $25.00  Cardstock (8.5 x11, 24 sheets, $8.75*) Fresh Freesia 155613 & Gorgeous Grape 146987;  Basic White (8.5 x11, 40 sheets) 159276 $9.75; Classic Stampin' Pads ($7.50 each) Fresh Freesia 155611, Gorge...
