Crab Apple Demands Attention!

Oh yes, it's been that kind of a day!  As many of you know, I watch my youngest grandson during the week while Mom and Dad both work.  Mom dropped him off this morning and warned me that he was not having a good day.  She was so right.  He went down for more sleep when he got here but when he woke up, the drama began.  Needless to say I've not had a chance to do anything I had planned for today.  I'm so glad it is Friday and I have two days without my little power house.  I have lots of projects started so will have lots to share next week.  Here's a picture in honor of my one little crab apple.

What Is A Workshop, You Ask?

A Stampin' Up!® Workshop is a creative event you host at your home or at the Coffee Pot Stamping Cafe, where you invite your friends to enjoy an exciting project demonstration provided by a Stampin' Up!® Demonstrator. When you host a Workshop, you'll see new project ideas, learn different techniques, make a project, and have fun with people you enjoy--all while earning free products based on your Workshop's sales.

As a Hostess, you'll choose a date for your Workshop, then invite your friends and family into your home, or over to the Coffee Pot Stamping Cafe, to stamp and have fun with you. I will help you make it the perfect event for you and your friends!

You can expect to make beautiful projects like this at your Workshop. You and your guests will find that it's easy to unleash your creativity when you have your own personal creative coach there to guide you. Plus, with new products being introduced frequently, there’s always something new to see and learn about!

Contact me today to schedule your very own creative Workshop.  Whether you host it in your own home or bring it to the Coffee Pot Stamping Cafe, you are guaranteed a time of fun and creativity.

Running On Empty!

This is just how I feel at the moment.  The cold and congestion I've been fighting just won't seem to let go.  Unfortunately, it means that this creative coach is truly running on empty.  I'm believing that tomorrow I'll feel much better and can get new photos posted to show you some of the new things I've created recently.  So, stay tuned and check back tomorrow.

Until we meet again...

The Three Things I Love Most About Being A Stamping Business Owner

It would be so easy to keep you here all day talking about the many reasons I love being a stamping business owner.  But, I'll rein in my enthusiasm and just give you the three big ones.

1.  I love being my own boss.  I get to set my own hours.  I get to work when I want, which tends to be most of the time, but I know that should the need arise, I can be very flexible.

2.  I love being a Creative Coach.  I love helping others explore their own creativity.  There is great satisfaction and seeing someone's face light up when they realize they have made a beautiful card.

3.  I love the freedom of spending more time with my family.  Being an Independent Stampin' Up!® Demonstrator gives me the opportunity to work around my family's schedules.  I love being able to spend time with my grandchildren.

If you'd like to be your own boss and enjoy all these perks and more, contact me and let me show you how.  It's your first step to becoming a stamping business owner.

Until we meet again...

Green Garden Razzleberry Birthday

And, here is the last of the three.  I was, again, browsing through some of my Stampin' Success demonstrator magazines and came across a layout for a card that I really liked.  I made a few changes and here is the finished card.

Stamp Sets:  Teeny Tiny Wishes, Itty Bitty Bits, Take It To Heart, Because I Care (retired); Ink:  Rich Razzleberry; Card Stock:  Garden Green, Rich Razzleberry, Whisper White, Brights Designer Series Paper Rich Razzleberry, Just Add Cake Designer Series Paper, Twitterpated Designer Series Paper; Accessories & Tools:  Big Shot Die-Cutting Machine, Labels Collection Framelits Dies, Antique Brad

Wouldn't this make a great card for a guy?  Simple, sleek and very little frill.  You could also change the sentiment and use it for a Father's Day card or a thinking of you card.  It's fun to be able to use one card design for multiple occasions.

Until we meet again...
