Sale at Etsy

Hi everyone. I hope you've all been well. I have been so busy lately and that's why I have been away so long. I am so excited to be back and writing this post. I wanted to let you all know that I have a special sale. Since summer is coming to a end and Fall is slowly approaching, I want to celebrate by offering my customers a 20% off discount on their purchase from me. This offer is only good at my etsy shop now thru October 31, 2011. So, this is a good opportunity to stock up on some more cards. I plan to be uploading holiday cards to my shop in October as well. When you check out, be sure to enter this coupon code in order to receive the discount. The code is: SUMMER20. The link to my etsy shop is on the right hand side bar or you can click here to be linked to my shop. Thanks to those of you who have supported my business before in the past.

I have been busy stamping as usual. I have also been doing more scrapbooking as well. I will share those pictures with you in another post. Until then, don't forget to take advantage of this incredible offer. Take care.

New Holiday Mini Catalog and New Cards

Hi everyone. Can you believe it? Another month has passed by. Time flies by fast when you are having fun. I have been busy stamping again after taking a little break to scrapbook. I have been scrapbooking nonstop for two straight weeks. I finally finished the boy's 8x8 album. I am so proud of myself for such a accomplishment. It took awhile but so worth it. I am really pleased at how it turned out. I stamped, inked, painted, stitched, and did so many things with my layouts. I am also relieved that the project is completed. I will post pictures of it shortly as soon as I can get my photographer to do it for me since I want some good quality pics. I'm hoping to start another album again in the near future, that's if I can make time in my busy schedule to do it. This time, I want to do a 12x12 album that way I can fit more photos onto my layouts.

Now, on to the next item on my agenda. This month Sept 1, 2011 through Jan 3, 2012 Stampin' Up! has a new Holiday Mini Catalog.

Here it is:

Click on the photo to see the PDF of the catalog.

I am really excited about this new catalog because it's filled with so many great holiday ideas and products for Halloween which is coming up soon in Oct, Christmas, and Valentines. Click on the photo to see the PDF of the entire catalog. I'm sure there is something in there that will amaze you. Check it out and let me know if you want to order anything. You can e-mail me, call me, or go online to place an order.

On that note, I have to say, I have been busy stamping as usual. I've been cleaning out my stamp room and decided to pull out all those old stamps and use them. Here are some of the cards I made using my old stamps.

In addition, I have been playing around with owl card designs. Here are a few of the owl cards I made:

I also have been playing around with the Sew Suite Stamp Set which retired in July. I don't own it but I was able to borrow it from my friend Carrie. Thanks Carrie. I had lots of fun with this stamp set. Here are a few samples:

This is not from Stampin' Up! This stamp set is from Hero Arts. I think it's still available.

In addition, I have been busy creating cards form the current Stampin' Up! Catalog. Here are a few of those cards:

Again, I do apologize, I didn't get a chance to write down my supply list. But, if you need to know which stamp set these cards are from or any of my cards, please just let me know and I will be happy to get that information for you. I get so worked up that I forget to do it. By the time I list all my cards, I don't remember which stamp set these are from. I know that these are still available in the new catalog. I hope you enjoy these cards.

Well, that's it for this post. I am going to be busy this weekend. I'm having a yard sale this weekend so I hope I will be able to make some time to stamp. I wish you guys a wonderful holiday weekend. I am so happy to have Monday off. My boys will be back to school on Tuesday so I will be super busy again after that. I hope that I will have time to post more often and share some ideas and inspirations with you. Until then, take care.
