Have you Seen it?!?

Hello, My Friends!


I don't think I told you what I got for Mother's Day.....  If you know me at all, you know I'm not a diamond/expensive jewelry type....nope.  In fact, I don't care for real diamonds...I lose things!  The ring I wear on my ring finger is fake!  {SHHHHH!}  It was a QVC deal for $32.  :)

So, what did I want for Mother's Day?!?  A cotton candy machine!  Not a little, dinky, toy one....a REAL one!  :)  Luckily we have plenty of room at the office for it, so YEP.  That's what I got!  :) 

We are having a cotton candy party at the office today.  I can't wait to test it out.  Of course, I get the first one.  :)  I'll be sure to post pictures on our Facebook....so, stay tuned!  :)


Have you Seen it?!?

The newest episode of a 30 Second Card {in five minutes!} is now available.  In it, I use a Flip-it Die and show off a technique called Second Generation Stamping.  Check it out.....

Yes, It's TRUE!

Hello, My Friends!

Yep!  It's TRUE!  We will be at the Mega Meet in Novi, Michigan this week!  We are so excited!  When Ken found out we got in (it's really hard to get in!), he emailed me and told me it was the next best thing to winning the lottery!  He felt that lucky!  ;)

Ok, I just re-read what I typed and realized you might think it's funny that my husband emails me.  I was working at Sizzix, so he couldn't call me.  ;)

Since we are so excited about this trip, we created a special video....

It's TIME!!!!!

Hello, My Friends!!!

We are home from New Hampshire!  We arrived at home at 2:30 am on Sunday.  We are beat!  But, we had a fabulous time.  We met some Club Members and signed up some new ones.  :)

So, as I try to get things in order around here (it's crazy when you've been gone for a few days!) And guess what?!?  It's Release Time!!!!  Woo Hoo!

So, I guess I should introduce the new stamp set to you!  ;)

Here are some Design Team Samples....

Emily also used one of my new Sizzix embossing folders on this one!  :)

I love how Emily scored the center of the pop!  :)

Beverly had a great idea to add patterned paper to her pop!  :)

Beverly added the Fancy Label Framelits dies to this card!  :)
