Wednesday WOW!!

Welcome to Wednesday WOW!!

I LOVE this card!!!  We made it at a class earlier this year...and it is probably one of my favorites!!  I was so sad when they retired that punch (the one that makes your paper look like it was torn out of a notebook)....

Contact me for more information!!
THANKS and as always...

Happy Stampin' & Scrappin'!

Technique Tuesday....

 Welcome to Technique Tuesday!!  
Today I am featuring the technique we made at our Technique University class last night (IF Hurricane Irene lets us!) -- Coloring with Watercolor Wonder Crayons!  I first tried this technique at my upline's meeting and fell in love with it!  So easy!!!  I immediately had to order all four color collections!  
The Watercolor Wonder Crayons are in the Idea Book & Catalog on page 202, they are sold by each color collection (10 colors per collection) and are $16.95 per collection.  
Subtles -- item #119802
Regals -- item #119803
Brights -- item # 119804
Neutrals -- item #119805

Use them with the Aqua Painter (IBC, pg 203; item #103954; $16.95) or the Blender Pens (IBC, pg 203; item #102845; $9.95).

Watercolor Wonder Crayons

  • Using either StazOn ink or a waterproof ink (like SU’s Basic Black or Basic Gray), stamp an image on a piece of watercolor paper.   
  • Let dry thoroughly.   
  • Using an Aqua Painter, pick up color (rub the moistened tip of the Aqua Painter on the tip of the crayon) and paint your image.   
  • You can vary the intensity of the color with the saturation of the Aqua Painter.
Contact me for more information!
THANKS and as always...

MDS Monday!!

Welcome to MDS Monday!!  

Today's post features a scrapbooking layout made using Stampin' Up's MDS (My Digital Studio) program!  Our software is super easy to use...but you can also import our digital elements into other programs!!  I love using MDS to create cards digitally...I don't "waste" paper and embellishments trying to get the design right...and then I'm able to recreate the card using "real" paper and embellishments!!

Contact me for more information!

THANKS and as always...

Stampin'Up Regionals in Charlotte, NC

Shelli and I

Shelli and I

Shelli and Kelly

Me, Kelly, Jen and Marie
Last weekend I attended the all day Saturday Stampin'Up Regional conference in Charlotte, NC....I had a BLAST!!  My downline, Kelly, and I rode with my sideline, Marie, her husband, Mike, and their daughter, Jen!  We stopped on the way up at Hobby Lobby....can I just say that it's probably a good thing that there's not one near me!!  They have AWESOME home decor items....and the store is HUGE!!!  Then on the way home, we stopped at Archiver's in Raleigh.  I didn't do a lot of damage in either store...I guess that says alot about how much I already have, huh?
At the SU Regional, I learned quite a few new things and got to meet Shelli, the Cofounder and CEO of Stampin'Up!  Kelly and I both had our pictures taken with her and we enjoyed chatting with her!  She's really nice and very down to earth!!  Kelly and I have both started saving so we can go to Convention in Utah next summer!!

Would YOU like to attend Convention with us next summer??  Contact me for more information on joining my Stampin' Up family...
