I am leaving for Orlando for the Leadership conference so I will not be posting much while I am gone….. I will be too busy having fun! I will be doing another blog candy giveaway as soon as I return though. Here is one of the gifts I made for some of my friends at Leadership. I got the new Rooster hostess set and couldn’t figure out what to do with it but it fit just perfectly on these little notepads I got from the Dollar store. I used that Raspberry tart paper on these too.
Gift from a friend….
My good friend and Stampin’ UP convention/ leadership roomie Terri Mongeon sent me this adorable gift. It is a cute tote bag filled with the Season of Friendship cards and matching envelopes. There was one card for each season. I just love it! I am so sad to see this set go. I am really hoping it will make it into the big catalog later this month but I won’t find out til Wednesday when I get the new catalog at Leadership! I am so excited to go to Orlando to see all of my friends from all over the country. It is like a family reunion every few months when we all get together. I met Terri at the Stampin’ UP Leadership conference several years ago and we became instant friends.That is my favorite part about being a Stampin’ Up demonstrator….all of the friends I have made over the years.
These are the matching envelopes!

Valentine Mailbox….look what’s inside….
I am having so much fun playing with this new Love You Much bundle….I have had a week off since Christmas to just play and make swaps for Leadership. I had a couple of these mini mailboxes left over from last year ( they were in the $$ bin at Target…my favorite store!). Anyway, I thought the Candy Lane paper would look great on one and I was right! Isn’t this adorable…..but wait…there’s more…..open the mailbox to see what is inside……
These cute little love notes fit perfectly inside the mailbox. THey are 3×3 size. I would love to do a class with these this year but I am sure Target will be sold out of them by the time I get there. For the mailbox, I used a 4×12 sheet of DSP and made a template out of scrap paper to punch the 1/2 inch circle to go around the flag. I had to punch out a few to get it positioned just right and then I laid that one over the DSP to punch the circle and then snip it so that the paper just slides in right around your flag. I hope that makes sense.
Christmas morning…..
Thought I would share a couple of pictures from Christmas morning……Santa Claus brought me a new camera so I had to try it out!
This is Lindsey sitting in front of the Christmas tree getting ready to open presents…..
Here she is trying on some new pajamas!
This is Lindsey on the couch with Chris showing off her favorite new socks. That is my mom in the background. I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas.

Stamp club cards
Here are a couple of the cards we did at stamp club this month. The first one is the "To you and yours" set which I just love! I used the scallop edge punch to make that blue square in the center. I also used dazzling diamonds around the edge of the kraft cardstock.
The 2nd one is an idea I got from someone at Founder’s Circle. I used the Snow swirled set and stamped one snowflake in baja, then I did the large one in white craft and embossed in white , then stamped the small one in chocolate chip.
Check out my pennant banners!
I had some friends over the other day and we made those cool pennant banners. Here are pics of mine from the front and back. I have mine hanging as you walk into my stamp room from the living room so everyone walks right under it. One side says CREATE! and the other says STAMP. I like how the Create side falls right under my "Live Every Moment" Decor Element. This is inside my stamp room. It was a lot of fun to make these. I learned how to do it while I was at Founder’s Circle this year. I have another one that says CELEBRATE and WELCOME but I haven’t had a chance to hang that one up yet.
Note from Lisa: These banners are made out of decorator fabric I got at Joann’s. You want to use a heavier fabric to make it easier to punch out with your Big Shot and it will also hang better. The thinner fabrics do not work as well unless you use heat and bond as a backing to make them stiffer.
Another awesome bday card!
Here is another awesome bday card I received. It is hard to tell from the picture, but it is an accordion fold card and the flowers pop out when you open it. THis one was made by another one of my talented downline , Elizabeth Velazquez.. Great job Elizabeth!
Cool gift idea!
Check out this awesome project that one of my customers (Dawn Sizemore) made! I was totally blown away so I asked her if I could post it so everyone could see it. She got the idea from pg 161 in the catalog , but I think hers is even better than the one in there. This would be a great baby gift. Thanks for letting me share this Dawn!
