• I like classes that offer MORE cards even if that means the cards are easier & quicker to create.
• I like classes that offer FEWER cards that are more involved.
• I like a MIX of cards – Some simple, some involved

Here are pictures of all the Christmas Cards we have made in the last few years.  What we did this year for our Christmas cards was to take all the extra cards we had made from previous years and spread them all out on the table.  We then went through our Christmas Card list and choose the card we thought you would like the best.  

Here are some more pictures of all the cards…. 

Happy Stamping!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas….  Well, at least it IS snowing!

Here are the Christmas Cards we made for a friend.  All 100 of them.   Our friend then put a color-coordinated picture of her wonderful family on the inside front cover.  The card was embossed with the Cherry Cobbler embossing powder (122949) and the Cherry Cobbler Quilted Satin Ribbon provided a nice finishing touch to a very elegant card.

Did you get your Christmas Cards mailed out this year?  Do you feel overwhelmed at the very thought of creating and sending out your Christmas Cards?  

Because you are not alone, we are considering starting a Christmas Card Class in February.  You would come each month and make 10 to 20 cards so they would be ready for you by the end of the year.

Interested???    Please let us know by e-mailing us here.

Happy Stamping!

Wendy and Julie – can you see all the 3D items!  Julie puts this up each year – she always says I have too many to show them all and I always am worried I will not have enough.  We have our card samples displayed in a new way that Cheryl came up with so they could see them easier and take pictures of course!

Cheryl is who really runs the booth and says how everything will be displayed, she is the "boss"  behind the scenes, we could not even start to do this without her.  This year she was teaching a class for three hours during set up so we had to go by pictures from last year until she came back and changed it…. of course you knew she would!

This is how you feel about your picture being taken after packing the van, unpacking the van, setting up the booth and then re arranging the booth, not counting being up cutting and prepping for three days.  Notice the clothes in the background for us to change into before the Make n' Take Session starts.  There is to be 185 for just this Friday PM session, then there is classes and daily Make n' Takes, and well as a session on Saturday PM.

This is Kim – one of our new downlline – helping to set up the retired stamps for sale.  The Make n' Take table is just beyond the stamps for sale table.  We did not get a picture of Linda – but she comes and keeps all the money straight each year for us.

We just received our final numbers on Monday for our classes so we have been cutting and prepping like mad.  You don't want to cut for 40 people for a class and only have 6 sign up!  We actually had to have our class pictures and class description ready in August, so we knew what we were doing we just had to wait for the final numbers… can you say cutting card stock 24 hours a day for the  last few days!

We always have lots of help for OOAK.  Our downline and stamping friends are awesome.

Hope you enjoyed this little glimpse into our world.

This is the before!

This is how the Big Companies do it!!!  You have to love the shrink wrap!!

I will share the after pictures tomorrow!

Happy Stamping!

This is the wreath we made last night.  Everyone's looked just a little different depending on how they hot glued it together.  Trish really brings an artist's flair to each of the projects… always fun to have her in class as she "improves" each project!

I really underestimated the time.  We had a great time laughing and talking.  I did learn there are now new low heat glue gun I can get…. no more burnt fingers! 

This is so easy to make using the new Simply Scored from Stampin'UP!®  If you are interested in learning how to make this wreath or a Christmas one contact me for information!

I was putting together a Christmas Wreath to show how to use the Big Shot Die to make the "lollies" and Trisha come up with a great idea… can't wait to show you all… have to finish it.. today though, I am off to the hospital to visit a dear friend.

Happy Stamping!
