Hey everyone,
I have some more blog candy to give away! All you have to do to enter to win is leave a comment on my blog this week. Here is what is up for grabs……

This week I am giving away the hostess set God’s Beauty and a Love you Much gift set….4 cards with envelopes and a cute box to put them all in. Thanks for stopping by.

I absolutely love this Love You Much set and matching Candy Lane paper. It was one of the best specials Stampin Up has ever offered. I hope they do more of these bundles again soon. This sample uses the new eyelet border punch. I also covered the birds in the patterned paper.

I had a group of demos over the other day for a shoebox swap and this was one of our projects that we got to make. My friend and downline Sue Bjorgaard did this one for her project. I just thought it was so cute. It is pretty much made with all punches. The feet are the round tab punch, the bodies are the oval punches, the eye area is the heart punch, the hands are the small oval punch and you cut it in half lengthwise. The head is the 1 3/8 circle punch, and the beak is the small oval also. It is a little time consuming to put together but so adorable!

Hey stampers,

I thought I would share my January stamp camp projects with you…..

I am doing a Love you Much bundle gift pack. It is a cute box with 4 adorable cards that go inside. My Sunday classes are full, but I still have a couple of spots left on Monday night at 7pm if you would like to come. Please email me before all of the spots are gone. You do not need to bring anything with you. All supplies, refreshments and door prizes are included.

Here is an adorable card I got at Leadership. It was created by Allison Barber. I love how she made it into a wedding card. This just shows you that this set can be used for more than Valentine’s cards. It is still on sale too. You get the stamp set, heart punch and candy lane paper for only $41.48 til the end of the month. Click on the flyer in my sidebar for more details.

This adorable card was designed by one of my very talented downline, Sue Bjorgaard. She brought this to my downline meeting and we all got to make it for our shoebox swap. THe envelope was made using our Big Shot scalloped envelope die and the new Candy Lane paper. This is just way too stinkin’ cute!

This is what the little card inside the envelope looks like.

I have so many pictures to share! I got a new camera for Christmas and I couldn’t wait to try it out….too bad it doesn’t have a button on there to make you look thinner!

 This is me and my friend and sideline Debbie Naylor. She also lives in VA but about 3 hours away. I wish she was closer so we could hang out more!

Here are Kimberly, Dena, me, and Max saying goodbye right as Leadership ended. It is always hard when Stampin Up events end because I love spending time with my friends from all of the country that I have met through Stampin Up. I love meeting new friends every time I go to one of these events and then you can’t wait to see them all again next time! At least the Stampin Up Hawaii trip is only 2 months away…..better start that diet today!

One last hug from Kimberly…..

Here are more swaps from Leadership!

This one was made by my new friend Maxine Conrad who is a SAM (service account manager) at Stampin Up. She is from England and kept us laughing the whole time. She is hysterical!

This one I got from Joann Wiemers. The lid of the cupcake opens up into the inside of the card.

I just LOVE this new rooster set. It is a hostess set so I am sure lots of people will be booking parties to get one of these! This one was made by Carolyn Shelby.  She did a great job!

I thought I would share a few more Leadership pics and some swaps that  I got.

This is Dawn Rapsas, me and Jackie Craig hanging out before classes started.

This is me and my wonderful downline Sue getting ready to eat lunch.

This is my awesome friend Kimberly Van Diepen. She keeps me laughing hysterically every time I am around her. I wish I had half of her energy.

This is me and Robin Merriman…. she is such a sweetheart!

This is me, Kimberly, Maxine (who is a SAM at Stampin UP – she hung out with us all night and had a blast!) and of course Shelli. After we got this picture, there was a long line of people waiting to get photos with Shelli so we lucked out catching her just in time.

 Leadership Swaps!!!

This one was made by my good friend Debbie Naylor…..I just love these colors together.

This one was made by Daryl Micciche. I am so sad this set is not in the catalog!!! What were they thinking? This is one of my favorite sets (and my customers love it too)……maybe it will make it to the next one.

This one was made by Mary Beth Ada…. I don’t know why it is a little blurry but I don’t have time to take the picture over. I am still trying to catch up on laundry between posts. My family didn’t happen to get anything done while I was gone……

  And last but certainly not least is my favorite swap made by my good friend Kimberly Van Diepen. This will be one of my stamp club projects this month. It is made with the Big SHot petal card die and is actually a little pouch to put some candy or a gift in.

  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.
