Open For Business

Well I have finally done it! Thanks to my cousin, and her urging me to get this store open for everyone to make purchases of my Craft Fair items, I have finally completed 90% of the store! I still have a few more final items that I will be adding within the week. I have some physical therapy this week due to an injury that I have been dealing with in my right knee. I also had some kid things that have prevented me from getting this on-line sooner. I hope that you take a moment to view my store and pick out something you like.

I will tell you it is WAY more time intensive getting this store up and going than I have ever anticipated. You have to photograph, crop, save, prepare a description then post each of your items. I had to develop a system that would help me stream line the process to keep me from loosing my minds! I have an announcement though, are you ready... (drum roll, please)

Etsy contest!!! Visit my Etsy shop www.stampinstuff4u.etsy.com and pick out your favorite item, and leave a comment on THIS blog as to what item was your FAV and why. You will have until Mon. the 6th at 5:00 pm CST to submit your comment. I will randomly choose a winner that will get Decorative Frame, Stamped Note Cube, and Occasion Card Pack for FREE!!!! So take a look and submit your entry for a chance to win!

Convention Swaps...at least so far~

These are the cards that I am making so far for my convention/SCS swaps. I ask that you please NOT CASE these cards for your convention or SCS swaps. :) I LOVE these cards, my most favorite blog kwernerdesign is such an inspiration to me!!! She did similar cards, I use hers for template design, and I love how simple but complex they look. Just perfect for swaps when you have to make a million! The first card uses the PARTY HEARTY set that will be in the NEW catalog that we will receive at convention. The second card uses Wonderful Favorites and Holiday Blitz set, I think the only thing I wish I could add more of with out being tacky was BLING- glitter, shine, something...I have to look at these a little longer to see how I can "BLING THEM UP!" :) If I make more changes I will post those as well. I might make a few more cards to swap, I am just not sure...I don't really need more than 100 cards to come home with, but I LOVE to swap. Oh what a dilemma...I guess we will all have to wait to see what I decide. :)

Miss Me?

Ok, So I know that I have not posted in a while, I am sorry. I have been getting class projects ready for the upcoming months, and I must say that I think you all will love them! I am creating a NEW scrapbook event. I am no longer going to offer the SCRAPin' Up! classes, I feel that scrapbooking is a real personal thing and my taste may not be your taste- BUT I have come up with something that I think everyone will like. So be on the look out for further details on my website www.stampinstuff4u.com, coming in the next few days! I am not going to make you wait though...I am not that cruel. *grin*

I will offer "Crop Till You Drop" each quarter. It will be an ALL DAY event from 9am-5pm. It is basically a one day retreat to scrapbook or stamp or just craft. You will get your own space, have access to my stamps, inks, and punches. You can bring your own projects or have scrapbook & card kits available for purchase. I will provide lunch, raffle/door prizes, goodie bags, and challenges for those who would like to participate. The cost is not yet determined, however the first date will be in June. There will be a limited number of seat (20 to be exact) so your will need to register early. I hope to post pics of my upcoming class projects within the next few days, thank you for being patient.
